Lectric Memorial Day Sale offers up to $742 in free gear with the XPedition 2.0 cargo e-bikes from $1,399

Lectric has launched its Memorial Day Sale with increased bundle packages that give you up to $742 in free gear along with your purchase. The largest of these savings is on the XPedition 2.0 Cargo e-bikes, which come in three variants, with the standard 13Ah model at $1,399 shipped and getting $394 in free gear, the 26Ah dual-battery model at $1,699 shipped with $593 in free gear, and the 35Ah dual-battery model at $1,999 shipped and coming with $742 in free gear. As is usually the case, the savings from this brand tend to come in the form of free bundled gear, with the packages we’re seeing on these models being the biggest yet – beating out their Black Friday deals. Head below to learn more about these e-bikes and the deals on the brand’s other models during this sale.

All three variants of Lectric’s XPedition 2.0 Cargo e-bikes sport the same two colorway options (Raindrop Blue or Stratus White), as well as come equipped with 750W M24 rear hub motors (peaking at 1,310W) that top out at 28 MPH speeds and provide improved acceleration and torque for climbing up inclines, especially when hauling any cargo with you. The only real difference here depends on what battery setup you would prefer, with the standard 13Ah model giving you up to 60 miles of travel, the 26Ah (dual 13Ah) model going further up to 120 miles, and the 35Ah (dual 17.5Ah) model going furthest to 170 miles – all with the PAS support activated. What’s really nice here, too, is the improved 5A charger that “cuts down on charging speeds by 60%,” so you don’t have to wait around all day for the battery to recharge.

These models have had their rear cargo racks extended for more hauling potential – whether that means packages, groceries, or passengers – and the bikes boast an impressive 450-pound payload. There’s plenty of other top-notch features for the price, like the adjustable dual spring 50mm front suspension fork, the Shimano 8-speed drivetrain, narrower 20-inch by 2.5-inch wheels with fenders over each, more powerful hydraulic mineral oil disc brakes, the headlamp and taillights with brake lighting and turn signal functionality, the wider-stance kickstand, and a color display.

Rad Power RadRover 6 Plus e-bike

Find commuting solutions in Rad Power’s RadRover 6 Plus fat-tire and RadExpand 5 folding e-bikes from $1,299

If you didn’t know, May 12 to May 18 is Bike to Work week, and for those who may not have jumped aboard their alternative rides yet, you can certainly prep to do so through the warmer months ahead. Rad Power currently has its ongoing Mother’s Day Sale event going through May 21, taking up to $500 off models, like the popular RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru Fat-Tire e-bike that is down at $1,399 shipped right now. This model normally goes for $1,599 at full price, which has only been beaten by a drop to $1,299 back over the fall in 2024 and the $1,199 low from January, with it otherwise being brought down to this rate in the time since. This is the third-lowest price we have tracked and still offers a solid $200 in savings off the tag while giving you a well-rounded model for on-street and off-road ventures.

For over a year now I’ve regularly gotten to hop aboard my parent’s RadRover 6 Plus while visiting them in the Great Dismal Swamp, which may pose challenges to some models but has otherwise not stopped my travels around town, be that along roads or through nature. The 750W brushless geared hub motor is paired alongside a semi-integrated 672Wh battery, providing speeds up to 20 MPH and a travel distance up to 45+ miles when the five PAS levels are turned on. I always appreciate the addition of a throttle, as it allows me to go off electric power when I tire out or am just not in the mood to do much pedaling, though, as is the case with all e-bikes, solely using this does cut down its mileage.

It’s a solid option for folks who enjoy on-street and off-road treks alike, as the fat Kenda Juggernaut puncture-resistant tires stand up well to swampy terrain during my visits, while the electrical system is protected thanks to the water-resistant connectors. You’ll also get it arriving stocked with a Shimano 7-speed derailleur, hydraulic brakes, fenders above both tires, an LED headlight and taillight with brake lighting (and auto-on functions for both), and a LCD display.

Another solid option for commutes to work, as well as saving space when you get there or back home, is the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike that is down at $1,299 shipped from its usual $1,599 tag. It comes equipped with the same motor and battery setup as above, with the same speed and mileage, as well as five levels of PAS to take advantage of. Its main feature is the folding frame, which condenses it to 29 inches high by 25 inches wide by 41 inches long. There’s the integrated rear cargo rack for some cargo-hauling functionality, an LED headlight and integrated taillight that have both automatic and brake lighting, solid fat tires with fenders over each, water-resistant wiring harness, a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, and an LED display.

Be sure to check out the other deals during the remainder of Rad Power’s Mother’s Day Sale, like the discounts and bundle packages on the RadWagon 4 and 5 Cargo e-bikes, as well as the accessory promos on its other new models.

Ride1Up Memorial Day Sale

Ride1Up has its Memorial Day Sale running through May 27, with two of its e-bikes getting up to $300 taken off their tags and an accessory promotion on its popular and affordable Portola Folding e-bike. The biggest of the cash savings is landing on the Prodigy v2 Brose Mid-Drive e-bike starting at $2,195 shipped for its 9-speed drive-train model, while the belt-drive counterpart is down at $2,595 shipped. These two models normally go for $2,495 and $2,795, respectively, these days, with $200 price cuts often being the average discount seen in sales lately, which is continuing on the belt-drive model, while the chain-drive model saves you an additional $100 on top of that. Head below for more on these and the other models seeing discounts during this sale.

Released back in the latter half of 2023, Ride1Up’s Prodigy v2 is a more affordable mid-drive e-bike when compared to many others on the market that range up to twice the price. It comes equipped with a German-made Brose TF Sprinter mid-drive motor that produces 90Nm of torque and has a built-in torque sensor, pairing with the 36V 504Wh battery to deliver up to 28 MPH top speeds and 30 to 50 miles of travel range. While not as lightweight as some urban commuters, it’s fairly manageable with a 58-pound weight for the chain-drive model and 61 pounds for the belt-drive.

There’s a bunch of solid stock features here too, like the Tektro HD-M745 180mm Hydraulic disc brakes, the rear cargo rack, Maxxis Rekon Race tires with fenders over each, the 80 Lux headlight, Commuter Glow 6V taillight, 100mm air fork suspension, kickstand, Brose 1.5-inch color display, and more.

Ride1Up’s Memorial Day Sale e-bike deals:

  • Portola Folding e-bike: $1,095 (No price cut)
    • 20 MPH throttle, 28 MPH PAS for up to 40 miles
    • Upgrade to 13.4Ah battery for $100 more and 45-mile travels
    • Buy one accessory get one of equal or lesser value
  • Prodigy v2 Brose Mid-Drive 9-Speed e-bike: $2,195 (Reg. $2,495)
    • 28 MPH for up to 50 miles
  • Revv 1 Full Suspension Moped-Style e-bike: $2,395 (Reg. $2,595)
    • 20+ MPH for up to 60 miles
  • Revv 1 DRT Off-Road Moped-Style e-bike: $2,495 (Reg. $2,595)
    • 20+ MPH for up to 60 miles
  • Prodigy v2 Brose Mid-Drive Gates Belt CVT e-bike: $2,595 (Reg. $2,795)
    • 28 MPH for up to 50 miles
Velotric T1 ST Plus e-bike

Commute through urban streets on Velotric’s T1 ST Plus e-bike with Apple Find My and 70-mile range for $1,399

It’s National Bike to Work Day, and while you may not have a electric model this year to commute on, you can certainly take advantage of Velotric’s Bike Month Sale pricing and score yourself the means to do so through summer and into fall. There are obvious favorites like the Discover 1 Plus at $1,299 or its upgraded Discover 2 counterpart, but I wanted to shine a spotlight on a solid option for folks commuting in more urban areas, the T1 ST Plus e-bike that is at $1,399 shipped. It’s going for $1,649 at full price these days due to the tariffs that have been affecting the market in the past few months, with discounts only having brought down the cost to this rate since. While we did see the price go lower last year, there’s no telling how long it’ll be until we see those rates again, as well as if prices will continue going up later in the year with the market’s uncertainty. Still, you can pick up this lightweight model at $250 off the going rate, gaining some added smart security on top of electrifying your commute.

Velotric’s T1 ST Plus e-bike is an ideal model from this brand for urban commuters and riders who prefer active cycling, firstly for weighing in at just 39 pounds, making it a more manageable model up and down stairs, and secondly due to this being a purely PAS-focused ride without any throttle for pure electric cruising. It comes with a 350W motor (peaking at 600W) alongside a 36V 352.8Wh battery to reach top speeds of 28 MPH (unlocked over the standard 20 MPH limit). It comes with three different riding modes, each with five PAS levels and supported by a torque sensor, giving it up to 70 miles of range on a single charge.

It features a bonus walk mode for assistance whenever you may have to hop off the bike, namely to go up extremely steep angles, but a real highlight here is the Apple Find My inclusion, so you’ll always know where it is and can track it down. You’ll also be getting some other stock features, like the Shimano 8-speed derailleur, an integrated LED auto-headlight, double hydraulic disc brakes, puncture-resistant tires, an IPX6 waterproof rating, and a 3.5-inch LCD display with USB charging for your personal device.

If you’re commutes (and day-off adventures) tend to go off-road, you might be more interested in the brand’s Nomad 1 Plus All-Terrain e-bike for $1,499 shipped, coming down from $1,899. It comes with a larger 750W rear hub motor (peaking at 1,200W) with a 691Wh battery, hitting max speeds of 28 MPH for up to 55 miles when activating its five PAS levels – plus, there is a throttle on this model when you don’t want to pedal. The fat puncture-resistant tires ensure your fun won’t be stopped early once you go off-road, while the hydraulic suspension fork works to smooth out rougher paths and the hydraulic disc brakes provide solid stopping power – all with an IPX6 waterproof rating, among other features. You can also check out the brand’s latest release, the upgraded Nomad 2X Full Suspension Fat Tire e-bike that takes things to more customizable heights.

Uber chooses first market to deploy its Lucid Gravity robotaxis featuring Nuro Driver

Uber chooses first market to deploy its Lucid Gravity robotaxis featuring Nuro Driver

Uber Lucid Gravity

Three months after Uber, Lucid Motors, and Nuro announced a partnership that would enable Gravity SUV robotaxis, the rideshare network has shared where the public will first be able to hail one. Spoiler alert, it’s easy to guess if you give it half a thought.

As we reported in July, Uber Technologies committed to a $300 million investment in Lucid Group (parent company of American EV automaker Lucid Motors), to deploy at least 20,000 Lucid vehicles as robotaxis over the next six years.

Those Lucid vehicles, which will consist of the automaker’s flagship Gravity SUV to begin, will hit public roads equipped with a Level 4 autonomous system called Nuro Driver. Nuro, the third partner in this equation, is a robotics company specializing in zero-occupant delivery vehicles, which garnered an existing partnership with Uber Eats as well as a “hefty” (yet undisclosed) investment from Uber Technologies.

Last month, Lucid delivered its first Gravity SUV to Nuro to begin the retrofitting process of the Nuro Driver system to support Uber’s hopes for a luxe robotaxi fleet. While the partners continue to work toward building an exciting new fleet of Lucid Gravity Robotaxis, Uber has shared the location where they will first go into service… Casper, Wyoming.

Just kidding!

It’s the San Francisco Bay Area, of course.

Uber to deploy Lucid Gravity EVs in Bay Area in 2026

Today’s update from Uber expands upon the ongoing partnership with Lucid Group and Nuro. According to the companies, the San Francisco Bay Area will be the first market where riders will see this next-generation autonomous robotaxi program in operation. That milestone is expected sometime in 2026.

Uber has shared that it has been updating policymakers and regulators at every level on the progress of its exclusive Lucid Robotaxis and continues to meet the operational requirements. Notably, Uber has shared that on-road development with the Lucid Gravity robotaxi engineering fleet is already underway in the Bay Area.

Furthermore, Nuro and Lucid intend to be operating over 100 Gravity robotaxis as part of the test fleet “in the coming months.” Lucid interim CEO, Marc Winterhoff, spoke about today’s announcement:

Lucid has always celebrated its California roots, and we’re thrilled to make the San Francisco Bay Area the first market for our new robotaxi on the Uber platform, powered by the Nuro Driver. Beginning next year, riders will experience a level of convenience, safety, and comfort unlike anything else on the road. We can’t wait to bring this service to life and expand it to communities across the country.

To build this fleet of Uber-exclusive robotaxis, the required hardware will be integrated into Lucid Gravity SUVS while they are still on Lucid’s assembly line in Arizona. Those builds will then be integrated with Nuro’s proprietary software when Uber officially commissions them.

All eyes on 2026 as we now know that residents around the Bay Area will be able to hail a driverless Lucid Gravity through the Uber platform. I’m very much looking forward to seeing this fleet in action.

Quiet confidence: Bobcat announces new EA line of industrial air compressors

Bobcat Introduces EA Series Variable Speed Industrial Air Compressors

With its new EA line of variable speed industrial air compressors and superior energy efficiency from their advanced electric motors, industrial equipment Bobcat is setting a new standard for job site performance.

Designed for top-tier flow rates and maximum energy efficiency, Bobcat says its new EA lineup of variable speed compressors – the EA30VS, EA50VS, EA75VS, and EA100VS – is built to meet the demanding needs of modern industrial operations. But, crucially, the new EA line is about more than efficient motors, quiet running, and precise speed variation. It’s about tech.

To that end, the EA Series is equipped with a full range of “smart” operational features controlled through a 7″, full color LED controller display for intuitive operation. This system allows connection to, and intelligent optimization of, up to three additional compressors, ensuring the entire compressed air system operates at peak performance based on demand so perators can easily customize performance with programmable scheduling by date, time and pressure bands – delivering precision control with minimal effort.

And, of course, the whole system is backed by Bobcat’s global warranties, international parts and dealer networks, and commitment to durability and service.

“The new EA Series represents a leap forward in industrial air compression technology for Bobcat,” said Cody Blythe, Bobcat product manager. “These machines offer exceptional flow rates paired with peak energy efficiency, providing our customers with a powerful solution that lowers their total cost of ownership through reduced electricity usage.”

Bobcat says its new EA line of variable speed compressors are available now at select Bobcat distributors, contact your local dealer for pricing.

Electrek’s Take

Bobcat is leading the charge to decarbonize job sites, delivering quiet, smooth-running machines for operators who value safety, performance, precision, and sustainability. The company is also among the few manufacturers replacing hydraulic systems with fully electric ones, further reducing oil use and eliminating idle warm‑up time.

You love to see it.

LiveWire reveals more details on its new lowerer cost S4 Honcho electric motorcycle

LiveWire reveals more details on its new lowerer cost S4 Honcho electric motorcycle


LiveWire, the electric motorcycle brand spun out of Harley-Davidson, has just given us a closer look than ever at its upcoming lower-cost, smaller-format electric motorcycles ahead of their larger unveiling at the Milan Motorcycle Show (EICMA) next week.

While we got our first glimpse of the new machines earlier this summer, spotting a street and trail version of the smaller electric motorbikes, now we have a name for the models and a few more details.

Officially called the S4 Honcho, the new model will be a 125-cc equivalent that will be available in both a street-legal version capable of being operated by riders who possess a moped/light motorcycle license in Europe or a motorcycle license in the US, and a license-free off-road version.

“The S4 Honcho Street will qualify for A1 licenses in Europe and the UK and M-endorsement in the U.S., offering lightweight, urban-friendly electric mobility with intuitive performance and removable batteries,” explained the company.

The bikes appear to be powered by a centrally-mounted, chain-driving electric motor and a pair of removable batteries accessed by flipping up the seat.

LiveWire has remained fairly tight-lipped regarding the major tech specs for the bikes, as well as the price, but we do get a look at the dual removable batteries thanks to a new image posted to the company’s website.

There, we can see what appears suspiciously similar to a pair of KYMCO Ionex batteries, which would make sense given LiveWire’s close partnership with the Taiwanese scooter giant.

A couple years ago at EICMA I had the chance to check out KYMCO’s new Ionex batteries and e-scooter platform firsthand, which you can see in the video below.

While excitement has been building for LiveWire’s smaller electric motorcycles, the full unveiling of the bikes’ performance figures as well as the price tag will prove critical for gauging whether or not the mini-bikes could be a major turning point for LiveWire’s elusive profitability.

But the company isn’t betting it all on one horse, or one Honcho. Also in attendance at the show will be LiveWire’s full-scale concept of an electric maxiscooter built on the same S2 architecture that powers the company’s currently best-selling models, the S2 Del Mar, S2 Mulholland, and S2 Alpinista.

That scooter, built in partnership with KYMCO, will leverage the company’s fully developed S2 platform to create a more comfortable, high-performance urban and suburban-oriented model.
