Get free center cargo consoles with orders of Rad Power’s new RadRunner Plus and RadRunner Max e-bikes from $1,799

With the popularity of Rad Power Bikes’ new RadRunner Plus and RadRunner Max Cargo Utility e-bikes driving the stock to sell out, the brand is now offering a backorder promotion through June 25. By ordering either the RadRunner Plus e-bike at $1,799 shipped and/or the RadRunner Max e-bike at $2,299 shipped within the timeframe, you’ll be getting a free center cargo console along with your purchase (Up to a $129 value) – just be sure to add both to your cart from the individual landing pages for the automatic discount to apply. It appears as though, while backordered, it won’t take all that long to arrive as the listing pages are labeled “Estimated by June 25th.” This is the first-ever deal we’ve seen offered on the Plus model, while the Max model got a five-day preorder deal for an extra battery back at the top of May. Head below to learn about these two advanced and versatile rides, or check out our original launch coverage here.

Rad Power’s RadRunner Plus is a passenger-ready utility e-bike that comes with a 750W rear hub motor paired to a 624Wh SafeShield battery in order to provide up to 55+ miles of support through the five pedal assistance levels, reaching top speeds of 20 MPH, and being compatible with the brand’s new Range Extender (along with the Max model). As you may notice, this model comes ready to offer rides, as the rear cargo rack features a passenger seat (and 120-pound payload), retractable foot pegs, and a protective wheel skirt. There are tons of great features on this model, like the passcode protections over the controls so only you can have access, as well as the front suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, puncture-protected all-terrain tires, a color display with a USB port, and more.

On the other side of the promotion is Rad Power’s RadRunner Max e-bike, which comes with even more advanced systems. To start, there’s the 750W rear hub motor and 672Wh semi-integrated battery pairing for 60+ miles of pedal-assisted travel (120+ with the range extender and an additional battery) and a 28 MPH top speed. Like the other models under the brand’s flag, there is a throttle for electric-only riding, though this significantly reduces travel ranges to 19+ miles. As I mentioned, this model comes with the most advanced smart features, including Apple Find My, Bluetooth proximity locking, a radar with a 100-meter range (328 feet), and more. You’ll also have a heightened riding experience from the Exsho suspension, hydraulic brakes, multi-surface puncture-resistant tires, rear cargo rack (120-pound payload), and others.

Running alongside this promotion through June 25 is Rad Power’s ongoing Father’s Day Sale offers, with up to $600 in discounts across five other e-bike models – all starting from the RadExpand 5 e-bike’s new $999 low.

Greenworks 60V 20-inch cordless pole hedge trimmer

Hit the perfect angles with Greenworks’ 60V 20-inch cordless pole hedge trimmer at a new $165 low

Amazon is offering the Greenworks 60V 20-inch Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer for $164.99 shipped and also matching in price directly from the brand’s website. This newer model hit the scene back in September 2024, carrying a $300 price tag, which we’ve only seen brought down to $230 a few times before and $225 last month. Today’s deal takes the price lower than ever, cutting $135 off the tag to land at a new all-time low price.

Sometimes, keeping your hedges and taller shrubbery pruned takes extra reach and this Greenworks 60V pole trimmer is ready to tackle the job. The included 2.0Ah battery provides it with a 45-minute runtime, while the 20-inch dual-action, laser-cut blades can handle branches up to 1.2 inches thick. The pole extends for 7.5 feet of additional reach for those hard-to-access areas, with the head able to pivot between seven different positions. Like all the other tools under the brand’s flag, this model starts up at the press of a button, tossing out pull-string annoyances along with the fumes and noise associated with gas motors.

Worx Nitro 20V 5-inch cordless mini chainsaw

Worx’s Nitro 20V 5-inch cordless mini chainsaw goes where larger models can’t reach at $109

Amazon is offering the Worx Nitro 20V 5-inch Cordless Mini Chainsaw for $109 shipped. Normally, you’d pay $150 for this device at full price, but the 27% markdown we’re seeing is cutting $41 from that tag. While we’ve seen it go lower to $100 and the $99 low in the past – the latter last being seen during Black Friday and Christmas sales – you’re otherwise getting the third-lowest price we have tracked, coming in just $10 above the low.

The compact design of Worx’s Nitro mini chainsaw makes it an ideal tool for working in tight spaces, especially for pruning jobs in your garden or heavily populated areas of your lawn. The 5-inch bar and chain is kept lubricated by the automatic oiler and can make up to 160 cuts with the included 2.0Ah battery on a single charge, able to perform at a cutting speed of 33 feet per second. It starts up by squeezing the trigger, complete with a range of built-in safety features to maintain control and comfort.

NutriChef 3L electric kitchen composter

Get low-cost soil from food scraps with this compact NutriChef electric composter at a new $171 low

Amazon is offering the Nutrichef 3L Electric Kitchen Composter for $171.11 shipped. While it’s been carrying a $270 price tag at Amazon (and a $350 MSRP directly from the brand), we’ve been seeing a steady stream of falls that drop the price lower and lower since April, with the 37% markdown here today being the best we have tracked. This model comes in as a more budget-friendly alternative to higher-end competitors, like Govee’s smart electric composter, with the price here sitting $179 under its MSRP at a new all-time low.

A simpler and more budget-friendly means to turn food scraps into low-cost soil, NutriChef’s 3L electric kitchen composter will support your gardening efforts through its drying, crushing, and cooling functions. The compact design saves space and allows folks with smaller apartments to get in on the composting action – all without any worry over odors filling your space thanks to the filtration system. You’ll have simplified controls on its display, including the means to activate its self-cleaning mode, but doesn’t offer any remote smart controls like we’ve seen elsewhere.

If you would prefer having those smarter capabilities alongside the composting functionality, you’ll currently find Govee’s Smart Electric Composter at $300.99 shipped, after redeeming/using the on-page 30% off promo code, bringing it down from $430. You’ll be able to monitor and control its setting through the companion app, with options to go hands-free via voice commands by connecting it to your Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. It comes with two changeable filters to contain foul odors, as well as three different operating modes and tons of safety notifications for when anything goes wrong.

Anker eufy SoloCam S220 solar security camera

Anker’s solar-charging eufy SoloCam S220 only requires three hours of sun to keep running at its $65 low

By way of its official eufy Amazon storefront, Anker is offering a returning low price on its SoloCam S220 Solar Security Camera for $64.99 shipped while also matching in price directly from the brand’s website. It’s coming down off its $100 price tag, which we’ve been seeing more regularly drop to $70, with an uptick in falls to the $65 low over the last six months. That low price is back again today, giving you a $35 markdown off the going rate for another shot at the best price we have tracked.

Anker’s eufy SoloCam S220 tosses out the need for constant recharging by you thanks to the integrated solar panel that only requires “3 hours of sunlight daily to keep it running.” The brand promises a fast and easy installation by “drilling one hole, once,” with the entire thing also ready to stand against adverse weather with its IP67 waterproof and dustproof construction.

With everything installed and running, you’ll have 2K views of everything and anything that goes on in front of its lens, complete with infrared LEDs and an f/1.6 aperture for clearer night vision. As you would expect from a smart camera, this model has AI that can detect when people enter your yard, with there even being facial recognition available when connected to HomeBase 3. Another standout that’s always nice to have is the lack of any additional fees or costs to keep it running.

Best Spring EV deals!

Best new Green Deals landing this week

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.

E-quipment highlight: Cushman Hauler XL long bed LSV

E-quipment highlight: Cushman Hauler XL long bed LSV

Cushman Hauler XL UTV Gets a Long Bed for More Hauling Capacity

We’ve been big fans of highly capable LSVs for a while here on Electrek, and the newest Cushman Hauler XL ELiTE electric utility vehicle keeps that trend alive with an extra-long, 68.5″ aluminum bed for even more cargo-hauling capability.

The Cushman Hauler XL ELiTE’s truck-like layout, functional dash, and familiar, car-like controls make it easier to operate than an ATV with a trailer, while its 1,200 lb. bed load capacity and 1,600-pound payload capacity (plus 1,500 lb. towing capacity) beat the pants off the classic, 00’s-era Ford Ranger pickup’s 1,140 lb. payload capacity.

The Cushman’s flatbed can be upgraded to add steel drop sides, an aluminum box bed (shown, above) and other custom upfit solutions that enable fleet operators to perfectly tailor the Hauler’s capabilities to their specific needs.

You already know how to drive it

The Hauler XL features a “twin pack” of two 56.7V, 4.2 kWh ELiTE lithium-ion batteries (8.4 kWh total) developed by Samsung SDI. The batteries are expected to be good for between four to eight hours of operation, depending on load, and are backed by a 5-year battery warranty.

What’s more, the newest Cushman features a technology that’s commonplace in cars and trucks, but still incredibly rare in the world of UTVs: regenerative braking.

“The Hauler XL … is an industry leader in bed size, vehicle rating and bed load capacity,” says Adam Harris, vice president and general manager of Cushman and E-Z-GO. “With our five-year battery warranty and patented E-brake technology, it’s built for the most difficult jobs.”

Cushman lists the Hauler XL’s manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) at $19,989, but dealers are advertising new ones for as low as $17,398. For that money you get a day’s worth of silent, emissions-free operation and the previously-mentioned 1,200 lb. bed capacity.

Electrek’s Take

Every smart fleet manager eventually asks themselves whether they need a pickup, or a payload. When they ask that question, they’re usually trying to decide between something like a Ford Maverick and an F-150, but with vehicles like the Hauler XL ELiTE, Club Car Urban UTV, or the latest weird thing Micah Toll dredged up on Alibaba, you get the bed and the payload capacity – and you get them both for $20-30,000 less than a conventional pickup.

Kia EV2 Coupe spotted for the first time: The entry-level electric SUV gains a new style

Kia EV2 Coupe spotted for the first time: The entry-level electric SUV gains a new style

Kia-EV2-Coupe

It kind of looks like the Genesis GV60. Kia’s smallest and most affordable electric SUV is set to receive a sleek new coupe variant. The Kia EV2 Coupe was spotted for the first time, giving us a clear look at how it compares to the SUV version.

Meet the Kia EV2 Coupe, a new entry-level EV

The Concept EV2 was first showcased during Kia’s EV Day in April, previewing its upcoming entry-level EV. Kia has yet to say exactly how big it will be, but it’s expected to be slightly smaller than the EV3 at 4,300 mm (169.3″) in length.

Despite its small size, Kia claims it will feel much more spaceous, thanks to a unique interior design. With a higher-sitting ride than you would expect, the EV2 even looks bigger on the road. It sort of resembles a mini EV9 with wide wheel arches and Kia’s new Tiger Face grille design.

With its official launch coming up, EV2 prototypes have been spotted driving out in public a few times now. Camouflaged, of coarse.

We even got a sneak peek of the interior during an exclusive event at Milan Design Week in April, but the most recent sighting looks a little different.

The new Kia EV2 Coupe variant was spotted on a car carrier in Korea with a coupe-like design. A video from HealerTV provides a side by side comparison of it compared to the original SUV model.

As the reporter notes, the vehicle looks almost identical from the front and back, until it comes to the C-Pillar. From what we can see, the new coupe design has a bit of a Genesis GV60-like feel to it. The bumper and trunk area have been slightly modified to fit the coupe styling.

The new Coupe variant gains pixelated turn signals on the side mirros, giving it a more futuristic, electric look.

Unlike most of Kia’s new electric vehicles, including the regular EV2, the Coupe variant features horizontal taillights, as opposed to the new vertical design. However, that could change when it arrives in production form.

The interior will feature Kia’s new ccNC (connected car Navigation Cockpit), a panoramic curved infotainment system with dual 12.3″ driver cluster and touchscreen navigation screens.

Kia is set to launch the EV2 in Europe and “other global regions” next year. Given the love for bigger trucks and SUVs in the US, it’s not expected to make the trip overseas.

Although the company has yet to officially reveal prices, Kia’s CEO, Ho-Sung Song, told Autocar in 2023 that the company wants to launch the EV2 at around £25,000 ($32,000) in the UK. It will sit below the EV3 in Kia’;s lineup, which is priced from £32,995 ($44,800) in the UK and €35,990 ($41,600) in Europe.

What do you think of the Kia EV2 Coupe? Do you like the design better than the original modle? If it looks like the Genesis GV60, sign me up. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Check back soon for more info on the upcoming Kia EV2 and new Coupe variant. We’ll keep you updated with the latest.

SpaceX alums just supercharged EV charging at Costco

SpaceX alums just supercharged EV charging at Costco

Electric Era just installed six fast EV charging stalls in 54 days from contract to go-live at a Costco in Northport, Florida. That kind of speed is rare in the EV charging world, and it’s thanks to a clever battery-backed system that skips a lot of the usual headaches like grid upgrades and long permitting delays.

Seattle-based Electric Era signed the deal with Costco on April 7, 2025, and had all the drawings and permits in by April 18. Hardware hit the site by mid-May, and by May 30, the site was live with three charger units offering both CCS and NACS plugs. (Electric Era notes that it removed existing EV charging stations, so I wonder whether having existing infrastructure in place sped up the process, even though it needed upgrades.)

The 200 kWh chargers can juice EVs up to 80% in 20 to 60 minutes, and include 24/7 monitoring, automatic fault detection, and over-the-air updates to keep them running smoothly.

Electric Era can move quickly because its patented tech drastically lowers the amount of electricity the site pulls from the grid, making installs easier and reducing grid power consumption by up to 70%. The company also handles everything in-house – from engineering to supply chain to project management – which helped them move from idea to live site in less than two months.

CEO Quincy Lee says it’s what retailers want: “Our retail customers don’t want their lots torn up for years, they want fast, reliable EV charging systems to help them grow their business and boost their bottom line.” And with grant programs on the line, being able to skip utility upgrades can make a big difference.

But this isn’t just about speed. The North Port Costco installation also includes customer-focused tech like loyalty program integration, point-of-sale connection, and 32-inch screens that retailers can use to run promos and ads. It’s all designed to pull EV drivers into the store and boost sales while they charge.

Electric Era’s chargers are no slouch on performance either. The company says its systems have a 98.5% uptime per port and more than 90% session reliability, with a 96% positive rating on PlugShare. That’s enough to qualify them for Tesla’s Third Party Charging program.

And behind all this is a “skunk works” team of former SpaceX engineers in Seattle, using a “first principles engineering process” to rethink and evaluate every step of the system, from system engineering and project management to parts procurement and system assembly.

As more EV drivers hit the road, stores want charging stations that not only work but also bring in high-value customers.
