Velotric Mother’s Day Sale takes up to $400 off e-bikes with select free gear and accessory discounts from $999

Velotric has launched its Mother’s Day Sale with up to $400 being taken off its e-bike lineup while also offering select 30% off accessory discounts and free gear with certain models. Among the offers, one of the biggest discounts we’re seeing during this sale is on the popular Discover 1 Plus Commuter e-bike for $1,299 shipped. Having recently had its price raised to $1,699 due to tariffs, you’re looking at a $400 markdown here, with the option to bundle the e-bike with a rear rack, front basket, phone mount, and left-side mirror at $1,503 shipped. This is the third-lowest price we have seen this model go for, sitting $200 above the all-time low we last spotted during Black Friday.

Upgraded in 2024 to provide more comfort during commutes, the Velotric Discover 1 Plus e-bike is a popular means to get around with its 500W rear hub motor (peaking at 900W) and 691.2Wh battery delivering up to 65 miles of travel with the five PAS levels activated alongside 20 MPH speeds that can be ramped up to 28 MPH when unlocked. There is a throttle to enjoy cruising around on pure electric power, though at the cost of mileage.

It doesn’t offer as fancy an array of features like its Discover 2 counterpart, like the Apple Find My integration, but does still provide some solid features for the price. It arrives sporting a Shimano 7-speed derailleur, an integrated 60 lux LED headlight, a taillight with braking functionality, double hydraulic disc brakes, larger 26-inch puncture-resistant tires, an increased IPX7 waterproof rating, fenders above both tires, and a 3.5-inch LCD display. The display even has a USB-A port to charge up your phone as you go on top of a walk assist mode to help you get up extreme inclines.

EcoFLow DELTA Pro Ultra Portable Power Station

Through today, EcoFlow takes up to 43% off a DELTA Pro Ultra solar generator bundle or dual RAPID Qi2 power banks from $76

As part of its ongoing Spring-to-Summer Sale that will continue through May 7, EcoFlow is offering flash savings on two backup power packages for members (sign-up is free) through the rest of the day – one for your home and appliances, and one for your personal devices. The first is the brand’s DELTA Pro Ultra Solar Generator bundle that comes with four 125W panels and a trolley for $5,224.05 shipped, after using the sitewide promo code EFRVSALEAFF at checkout for an additional 5% off. Non-members can use the same code to score it at $190 more, with this package normally running you $7,296 in all. This is a first-time offer on this particular bundle, and what’s more, the sitewide extra savings are rarely valid on flash offers, making it all the sweeter a deal. You’ll be getting $2,072 struck from the price tag at the best price we can find.

EcoFlow’s most expansive backup power option, an especially strong choice for home coverage, the DELTA Pro Ultra starts at a 6.1kWh LiFePO4 capacity and 7,200W output that can be built up all the way to 90kWh capacity and 21.6kW output with additional equipment. For example, were you to have the fully expanded system, you’d be able to keep things running for up to 15 days, though that doesn’t account for any solar charging equipment you’ve connected, which extends that timeframe. Adding the brand’s Smart Home Panel 2 to the equation brings smart home integration into the mix, allowing your power usage to be analyzed, offsetting peak rates while also providing connections to any roof panels you have installed in order to lower energy costs.

Speaking of its solar charging capabilities, this modular station carries an expandable 5.6kW to 16.8kW solar input, as well as the usual AC wall outlet recharging, and the hook-ups for EV piles and generators. Investing in its full system to its absolute limit (three Ultra Pro stations + expansion batteries + max solar input) would provide you the power to run your home for a day after around an hour of the most ideal sunny conditions. Of course, it is also a handy portable option, with an IP54 dust-proof and splash-proof rating, and a design that can withstand severe temperatures from -4 degrees to 113 degrees. Whether you’re using it for year-round needs at home or taking it travelling to campsites, RV trips, and more – it’s quite the sizeable means to keep all your essentials running.

The second of these offers gives you two RAPID 5,000mAh Magnetic Power Banks for $75.99 shipped, after using the sitewide promo code EFRVSALEAFF at checkout for an additional 5% off. Of course, like the above deal, non-members will be paying $9.50 more with the code. These compact devices provide you with Qi2 15W wireless charging speeds or 30W speeds through the built-in USB-C cable or the additional USB-C port. They can recharge to 70% in about 33 minutes and even feature built-in kickstands to prop up as they charge your phone or other devices.

Be sure to check out the lineup of other deals we’re seeing as part of EcoFlow’s Spring-to-Summer Sale, which is taking up to 52% off through may 7 – all with the extra sitewide savings too. You’ll also find the launch deals for the brand’s new WAVE 3 AC/Heater and GLACIER electric coolers that start from $807, with a bunch of bundle options available for them.

EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch electric lawn mower

This EGO 56V 21-inch cordless self-propelled mower comes with a 6.0Ah battery and dual-toggle handles for $449

Amazon is offering the EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower with 6.0Ah battery for $449 shipped. This particular model with the battery normally goes for $550, with March having seen it drop down to $499 and hold strong at that rate until today. Now, you can take advantage of the $101 markdown here to grab one for your lawn care needs at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $25 above the low from early Christmas sales.

A great replacement for noisy, fume-belching gas-guzzlers, this 56V mower from EGO provides 50 minutes of run time with the included 6.0Ah ARC battery, which you can quickly change out with other batteries you may have for extended performance. The 21-inch deck houses a brushless motor for better efficiency, with a 7-position cutting height range from 1.25 to 4 inches, as well as 3-in-1 functionality for rear bagging, side discharging, and mulching. It starts up at the press of a button, so no more wrestling with pull strings – plus, its self-propelled system is easier to engage thanks to the dual-toggle handle set.

And if you want to stock up on batteries, you’ll find EGO’s 2.5Ah and 5.0Ah ARC models starting from $110 right now.

CRAFTSMAN 2,100 PSI Electric Pressure Washer

Grab the budget-friendly CRAFTSMAN 1,900 PSI or 2,100 PSI electric pressure washers for outdoor cleaning from $149

Amazon is giving folks a solid budget-friendly option for outdoor cleaning needs by offering the CRAFTSMAN 2,100 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $189 shipped. A tried-and-true model that may be older but still gets the job done, we’ve been seeing this model keep at $219 at Amazon while going for a higher $239 MSRP elsewhere, not receiving any discounts here since the summer of last year. Today, we’re getting some respite from the monotony with a $30 markdown that drops costs to the lowest price we’ve seen in the last two years, sitting just $10 above its all-time lowest rate.

With spring in bloom, there will be plenty of gunk from pollen buildup and more that needs clearing away, and this CRAFTSMAN pressure washer is a popular means to do just that. It delivers a maximum 2,100 PSI of cleaning power for your outdoor spaces and furniture, with a 1.2 GPM flow rate. It sports an integrated soap tank that adds an additional level of cleaning when needed, along with onboard storage for the included nozzles, 25-foot kink-resistant hose, 35-foot power cord, and wand.

If you don’t need such a high PSI, you can save a little more by going with the CRAFTSMAN 1,900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $149 shipped. This slightly smaller model offers most of the same features and gear, just with a lesser 1,900 PSI power.

Best Spring EV deals!

Tesla sales have collapsed in Sweden

Tesla sales have collapsed in Sweden

Tesla’s sales have now collapsed in Sweden, with only just over 200 cars delivered in the country last month – down 80% year-over-year.

In 2024, Tesla had its best year yet in Sweden. The automaker delivered on average 1,825 vehicles per month.

That was a great result amid Tesla fighting against boycotts related to its dispute with a local union that some of its service workers were trying to join.

But in 2025, Tesla faces a much bigger boycott over its CEO’s involvement in politics, and the impact is being felt all the way in Sweden.

As we reported yesterday, we are starting to get the first registration numbers for Tesla in Europe for April, and they are looking bad.

Now, we get Tesla’s registration numbers for April, and the automaker delivered only 203 vehicles despite having plenty of old Model Ys in inventory and deliveries of the new Model Y AWD.

So far in 2025, Tesla has delivered an average of 533 vehicles per month, down 71% from last year.

This amounts to a demand collapse for Tesla in the country despite the new Model Y AWD being available for the last two months and deliveries available within days.

Tesla is still stuck with a decent amount of inventory of the old Model Y in Sweden despite having stopped production over 2 months ago.

The only hope for Tesla right now is the start of deliveries of the new Model Y RWD next month. As you can imagine, RWD vehicles are not super popular in the Swedish market. AWD vehicles account for the majority of sales.

Electrek’s Take

71% drop in average monthly deliveries in 2025 versus 2024. This is scary stuff and completely unsustainable. Unfortunately, I would even anticipate layoffs for Tesla advisors and delivery staff in the country.

With sales down to just a few hundred monthly units, it can’t justify the same sales staff as last year.

Tesla is being squeezed out of Europe at a pace few people saw coming.

The automaker has introduced lower interest rates to help with demand, but it’s certainly not enough.

Sales should be bad but not disastrous by the end of Q2, due to Model Y RWD helping a bit. The real test will be Q3, when everything should be back to normal in terms of the availability of Tesla’s lineup and there’s no backlog of demand for people waiting for their specific trim.

If Q3 turns out as bad as the first half of 2025, Tesla is basically done in Europe. it will be a small niche automaker rather than the growing market leader it was just 2 years ago.

Rivian lease offer includes k savings with alt=

Rivian lease offer

Rivian is ringing in spring with an enticing new lease offer for Gen 2 R1 EVs. Through May, customers can lease any Rivian R1 dual-motor EV with a Max battery and performance upgrade for $0 down.

Rivian continues to be a shining star in American EV innovation. Riding the success of its flagship R1 models, the company continues to bolster its manufacturing prowess en route to additional models, including the R2, R3, and R3X.

Now in their second generation, the R1S and R1T have become best sellers, helping fund the company’s progress in building out its R2 assembly lines in Normal, Illinois—a vehicle that has already garnered hundreds of thousands of reservations.

While we await those new Rivian models, we can’t sleep on the current flagships. I lease a Gen 2 R1S and love it. For those interested in leasing an R1 of their own, there is no better time to do so. Today, Rivian announced a new “Nothing But Adventure” lease offer running this entire month, where you can save big bucks on your monthly payment with $0 down.

Rivian introduces “Nothing But Adventure” lease offer

The American automaker shared details of its latest demand lever today, which applies to any R1 EV with a dual motor configuration, a Max battery pack, and a performance upgrade package. Now through May 31, 2025, Rivian will cover your lease down payment with a $6,500 offer.

Additionally, customers can take advantage of the usual $7,500 EV credit, which is underwritten into each lease for being a BEV manufactured in the US. That mean’s its an additional point of sale bonus without having to wait for a tax credit at the end of the year. score!

So in total, Rivian’s May lease offer can total $14,000 off a new R1 model. That’s huge.

As expected, there is some fine print to be aware of. For example, Rivian leases are not available in all states. The $6,500 lease offer may be combined with the $7,500 EV Lease Credit, but “may not be combined with other public offers unless permitted by Rivian.”

Lease customers must take delivery of their Rivian Dual Max R1S or R1T with a performance upgrade by May 31, 2025, to qualify for the offer. The amount due at signing includes a $500 deposit, first month payment, $895 acquisition fee, and $0 security deposit.

Learn more here. You can also shop all Rivian’s available configurations here.
