Pair your existing batteries with Greenworks’ 80V Venture 20-inch all-terrain utility e-bike at new $1,425 low
Amazon is dropping the price lower than ever on the brand’s 80V Venture 20-inch All-Terrain Fat Tire Utility e-bike (EV only) to $1,424.99 shipped. Priced at $2,100 direct from Greenworks, it carries a lower $1,900 tag at Amazon, where it rarely sees discounts compared to its commuter and mountain bike counterparts. Of the price cuts we have seen, things have only really been brought down between $1,600 to $1,700, with today’s deal giving you a greater $475 in total savings off its going rate at Amazon and $675 off Greenworks’ direct pricing, where a 60V counterpart is currently seeing no discounts – marking a new all-time low. You can also find it at Best Buy coming with a battery and charger for $1,649.99 shipped, which is the only bundle option available among the three retailers.
One of the three e-bikes from Greenworks’ e-transportation lineup, the Venture Utility model comes as an all-terrain means to get around, whether that’s via paved streets or dirt trails. It comes equipped with a 750W brushless rear hub motor that can hit 20 MPH top speeds and can utilize any of your 80V batteries you own for the ecosystem’s tools. When we have seen it with an included battery, it’s been an 80V 4.0Ah model that affords up to 22 miles of travel with its three PAS levels on a single charge of up to 60 minutes.

The 26-inch by 4-inch Kenda fat tires provide solid traction for on and off-road riding, with a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, dual mechanical disc brakes, an LED headlight, an IPX4 water-resistance rating against light rain, and a digital LCD display. Along with the real-time performance data the display provides, you’ll also be able to connect via Bluetooth for personalization of its settings and tracking your journeys around town.
Get more power for longer jobs with EGO’s 56V 21-inch cordless dual-port mower with two 5.0Ah batteries at new $550 low
Amazon is offering the EGO POWER+ 56V 21-inch Cordless Electric Dual-Port Self-Propelled Lawn Mower with two 5.0Ah batteries at $549.99 shipped. Carrying a $799 price tag, in 2025 we’ve mainly seen it bouncing between $743 and $647 after it went as low as $591 during Christmas sales. Today’s deal is bringing costs down even further, as this 31% markdown cuts $250 off the tag for a new all-time low price, beating our previous mention by $57.
Much like the brand’s cordless electric pressure washer, this EGO mower merges a brushless motor with the brand’s PeakPower system for more power and longer-lasting runtimes. This design provides you with two slots to utilize the included 5.0Ah batteries simultaneously for up to 80 minutes of continuous use. There are six positions of cutting height levels available here, from 1.5 inches to 4 inches, as well as a variable speed control and 3-in-1 functionality for rear bagging, side discharging, and/or mulching. You’ll be able to tackle lawn duties at lower light levels thanks to the LED headlights, with the whole thing sporting a weather-resistant construction for times you may be suddenly interrupted by rain and need to get it out of the elements.
Cruise up to 75 miles on Hiboy’s ergonomic EX6 step-thru e-bike at $900
Hiboy currently has four e-bikes at discounted rates, with the brand’s popular EX6 Step-Thru Fat Tire e-bike down at $899.98 shipped. While this EV carries a $1,580 MSRP on its tag, we more regularly see it discounted down at or below $1,000, including Amazon and Best Buy – the latter of which is currently matching this sale’s price. While we have seen it go as low as $800 in the past, you’re still looking at the third-lowest price we have tracked, which gives you $100 off its usually discounted rate and $680 off its MSRP.
A great starter model for new riders, as well as a more budget-friendly option for folks looking for some serious commuting power, Hiboy’s EX6 e-bike provides up to 25 MPH top speeds and up to 75 miles of travel on a single charge, depending on your riding conditions. The 500W brushless geared hub motor is paired with a removable 48V waterproof battery to achieve this performance, with three pedal assistance modes optimizing its power output for the higher end of its travel range. There is also a standard bicycle mode for the usual cardio, as well as a throttle to go pure electric when you don’t want to pedal, though keep in mind this reduces the mileage.
It’s been designed to be more ergonomically comfortable for those longer ventures around town, especially if you’re using it to get some cardio in. There’s some other solid features like the 7-speed Shimano derailleur, a hydraulic suspension fork, 20-inch all-terrain fat tires, fenders, dual disc brakes, a bright headlight, a rear cargo rack, an IPX4 splash/waterproof rating, and an LCD display.

Pick up EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro with a transfer switch or the Smart Home Panel 2 starting from $1,399 (Today only)
As part of its ongoing second phase of Spring-to-Summer savings, EcoFlow has launched the next of its 24-hour flash deals, with two offers running through midnight PDT. The first of these offers bundles the brand’s DELTA Pro Portable Power Station with a transfer switch for $1,999 shipped. This home backup combo normally goes for $4,098 at full price, with the few discounts we’ve seen, mostly in the form of past flash offers, have taken the price down to $2,099 at most, which is where Amazon currently has it priced at. We’re getting an even better deal while the savings last here though, totaling $2,099 that goes back in your pocket for a new all-time low.
One of the brand’s tried and true expansive backup power solutions, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro comes ready to support you through trips and emergencies with a 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can be added to with the dedicated smart extra batteries and additional power stations to bump things all the way to 25kWh. It covers appliance needs with up to 3,600W of steady output power, which can surge up to 7,200W for hungrier devices, provided through its 14 port options: five AC ports, four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two DC ports, and a car port.
Plugging the station into a wall outlet can have you back to a full battery in 1.8 hours, while connecting up to its max 1,600W of solar input with ideal sunny conditions can do the same in 2.8 hours. You’ll get the usual array of remote smart controls through its app, and the included transfer switch in this bundle allows for support of your home or RV, coming pre-wired for an easier time installing it. When utilizing it for your home, you’ll have selective backup over your indoor circuit breaker, which you can learn more about here.
The second of these flash offers is taking the brand’s Smart Home Panel 2 and dropping it down to $1,399 shipped from its full $1,899 tag, returning it to the second-lowest price we have tracked and also matching over at Amazon. The successor to the brand’s transfer switch is a whole-home hub option for folks with the brand’s DELTA Pro Ultra or DELTA Pro 3 power station setups that gives you smarter management control over multiple sources, including any solar roof panels and/or gas generators.
The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you combine a fruit cart, a cargo bike, and a Piaggio Ape all in one vehicle, now you’ve got your answer. I submit, for your approval, this week’s feature for the Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week column – and it’s a beautiful doozie.
Feast your eyes on this salad slinging, coleslaw cruising, tuber taxiing produce chariot!
I think this electric vegetable trike might finally scratch the itch long felt by many of my readers. It seems every time I cover an electric trike, even the really cool ones, I always get commenters poo-poo-ing it for having two wheels in the rear instead of two wheels in the front. Well, here you go, folks!
Designed with two front wheels for maximum stability, this trike keeps your cucumbers in check through every corner. Because trust me, you don’t want to hit a pothole and suddenly be juggling peaches like you’re in Cirque du Soleil: Farmers Market Edition.

To avoid the extra cost of designing a linked steering system for a pair of front wheels, the engineers who brought this salad shuttle to life simply side-stepped that complexity altogether by steering the entire fixed front end. I’ve got articulating electric tractors that steer like this, and so if it works for a several-ton work machine, it should work for a couple hundred pounds of cargo bike.
Featuring a giant cargo bed up front with four cascading fruit baskets set up for roadside sales, this cargo bike is something of a blank slate. Sure, you could monetize grandma’s vegetable garden, or you could fill it with your own ideas and concoctions. Our exceedingly talented graphics wizard sees it as the perfect coffee and pastry e-bike for my new startup, The Handlebarista, and I’m not one to argue. Basically, the sky is the limit with a blank slate bike like this!
Sure, the quality doesn’t quite match something like a fancy Tern cargo bike. The rim brakes aren’t exactly confidence-inspiring, but at least there are three of them. And if they should all give out, or just not quite slow you down enough to avoid that quickly approaching brick wall, then at least you’ve got a couple hundred pounds of tomatoes as a tasty crumple zone.
The electrical system does seem a bit underpowered. With a 36V battery and a 250W motor, I don’t know if one-third of a horsepower is enough to haul a full load to the local farmer’s market. But I guess if the weight is a bit much for the little motor, you could always do some snacking along the way. On the other hand, all the pictures seem to show a non-electric version. So if this cart is presumably mobile on pedal power alone, then that extra motor assist, however small, is going to feel like a very welcome guest.
The $950 price is presumably for the electric version, since that’s what’s in the title of the listing, though I wouldn’t get too excited just yet. I’ve bought a LOT of stuff on Alibaba, including many electric vehicles, and the too-good-to-be-true price is always exactly that. In my experience, you can multiply the Alibaba price by 3-4x to get the actual landed price for things like these. Even so, $3,000-$4,000 wouldn’t be a terrible price, considering a lot of electric trikes stateside already cost that much and don’t even come with a quad-set of vegetable baskets on board!
I should also put my normal caveat in here about not actually buying one of these. Please, please don’t try to buy one of these awesome cargo e-trikes. This is a silly, tongue-in-cheek weekend column where I scour the ever-entertaining underbelly of China’s massive e-commerce site Alibaba in search of fun, quirky, and just plain awesomely weird electric vehicles. While I’ve successfully bought several fun things on the platform, I’ve also gotten scammed more than once, so this is not for the timid or the tight-budgeted among us.
That isn’t to say that some of my more stubborn readers haven’t followed in my footsteps before, ignoring my advice and setting out on their own wild journey. But please don’t be the one who risks it all and gets nothing in return. Don’t say I didn’t warn you; this is the warning.

Eight oil-producing nations of the OPEC+ alliance agreed on Saturday to increase their collective crude production by 548,000 barrels per day, as they continue to unwind a set of voluntary supply cuts.
This subset of the alliance — comprising heavyweight producers Russia and Saudi Arabia, alongside Algeria, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Oman and the United Arab Emirates — met digitally earlier in the day. They had been expected to increase their output by a smaller 411,000 barrels per day.
In a statement, the OPEC Secretariat attributed the countries’ decision to raise August daily output by 548,000 barrels to “a steady global economic outlook and current healthy market fundamentals, as reflected in the low oil inventories.”
The eight producers have been implementing two sets of voluntary production cuts outside of the broader OPEC+ coalition’s formal policy.
One, totaling 1.66 million barrels per day, stays in effect until the end of next year.
Under the second strategy, the countries reduced their production by an additional 2.2 million barrels per day until the end of the first quarter.
They initially set out to boost their production by 137,000 barrels per day every month until September 2026, but only sustained that pace in April. The group then tripled the hike to 411,000 barrels per day in each of May, June, and July — and is further accelerating the pace of their increases in August.
Oil prices were briefly boosted in recent weeks by the seasonal summer spike in demand and the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, which threatened both Tehran’s supplies and raised concerns over potential disruptions of supplies transported through the key Strait of Hormuz.
At the end of the Friday session, oil futures settled at $68.30 per barrel for the September-expiration Ice Brent contract and at $66.50 per barrel for front month-August Nymex U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude.
