Ride1Up Revv1 DRT Off-Road e-bike sitting in grass

Review: Ride1Up’s Revv1 DRT e-bike is a rugged off-roader with plenty of suspension and hidden punch

When it comes to e-bikes, most people’s immediate thought is a commuter model designed to get you through streets to your various destinations, but with Ride1Up’s Revv1 DRT e-bike, the fun is extended (and primarily focused) to off-road adventures, and boy, does this baby have some go in it. It’s been over two years since we reviewed the Revv1 FS counterpart, which we came away quite impressed with its SUPER73-like design. Now we’re heading off the beaten path with this newer off-road variant, which boasts improved specs that outshine its predecessors in the series.

To get our full hands-on impression of this new flagship e-scooter, be sure to check out our review here.

Heybike’s Prime Fall Sale drops the ALPHA all-terrain mid-drive e-bike to a new $1,399 low, more from $899

Heybike has launched its Prime Fall e-bike Sale with up to $700 in savings on a selection of the brand’s e-bikes, including several new and returning low prices. One such model that’s really benefiting is the ALPHA All-Terrain Mid-Drive e-bike that is down at $1,399 shipped. While this model normally carries a $1,699 MSRP, we more often see it keeping down at $1,599, and more recently $1,499 with regular sales and discounts outside of events. During this two-week event, however, you can save more on it than we’ve seen before, as the $300 markdown is dropping costs to a new all-time low. What’s more, there’s a bit of extra savings in the form of the FREE front cargo basket you’ll be getting. Head below for more on this model and the others seeing discounts right now.

The Heybike ALPHA e-bike is the first to be equipped with the brand’s newer 500W Mivice mid-drive motor (which is rated for 900 to 1000W peaks), bringing some serious balance and power to all terrain types. There’s also the 680Wh battery that powers the system, providing up to 60 miles of pedal-assisted travel – supported by a torque sensor – and yes, there is a throttle for when you want to do some electric cruising. Speeds max out at 28 MPH for those living in states where it’s allowed, while otherwise delivering a 20 MPH default top speed.

What’s really nice is that the mid-drive motor doesn’t seem to send the ALPHA all-terrain e-bike into heavier weight classes, as it retains a manageable 72 pounds in all, and there’s a 400-pound rider payload, so more people of larger builds can enjoy the fun. As a more cost-effective mid-drive model, there’s a nice array of features, including the hydraulic disc brakes, hydraulic front suspension fork, and 4-inch puncture-protected fat tires – all providing plenty of support when heading off-road. There’s also an 8-speed Shimano Altus derailleur, an integrated rear cargo rack (and don’t forget the free front cargo basket), an auto-on headlight, a brake-activated taillight, and LCD screen for your setting adjustments, and more.

man charging EV with Autel MaxiCharger AC Lite Home 50A EV Charging Station

Get up to 50A charging speeds with Autel’s MaxiCharger AC Lite level 2 EV station at $455

By way of its official Amazon storefront, Autel is returning its MaxiCharger AC Lite Home 50A Level 2 EV Charging Station back to $455.20 shipped, which beats out the brand’s direct website, where it is listed for its full $569 rate. This is the first time since late July that this model has seen a discount, with the rate here only beaten in 2025 by a drop to $450 during July’s Prime Day event, and a fall further to its $399 low that hasn’t been seen since Black Friday sales. You’re looking at a 20% markdown here that cuts $114 off the going rate for the second-best price of the year and the third-lowest overall.

After selling out during some of the past sales, Lectric has officially restocked its XPedition 2.0 Cargo e-bikes, with them getting up to $674 in FREE bundled gear. While supplies are replenished and last, you can pick up the base 13Ah single-battery model with a $326 bundle at $1,399 shipped, while the 26Ah dual-battery model with a $525 bundle is at $1,799 shipped, and the 35Ah dual-battery model with the largest $674 bundle is at $1,999 shipped. As is the norm with Lectric, the discounts are on the bundles of free gear rather than the more rare direct price cuts to costs, and these packages are mostly focused on adding comfort for passengers – perfect for parents needing a new way to shepherd kids to and from daily appointments, which is what I’ve seen it mainly used for in NYC. Head below for more on the free gear you’ll be getting, as well as a rundown on the e-bike’s performance.

Husqvarna’s Automower 115H 4G robot with a built-in alarm system returns to its second-best $499 price

Amazon is offering the Husqvarna Automower 115H 4G Robotic Lawn Mower at $499 shipped, beating out the brand’s direct website, where it is currently priced for its full $700 MSRP. At Amazon, though, you’ll more regularly find it at $599 since June, with the discounts we’ve seen this year having been dropping costs lowest to either $499 or $490. The deal we’re seeing today gives you a 29% markdown off the MSRP, saving you $201 ($100 off the going Amazon rate) and landing it back at the second-best price.

Mercedes takes out the trash as German city deploys 18 electric garbage trucks

Mercedes takes out the trash as German city deploys 18 electric garbage trucks

Karlsruhe waste disposal agency deploys 18 Mercedes-Benz eEconic electric trucks

The German city of Karlsruhe is setting an example for sustainability in waste management by deploying a fleet of 18 Mercedes-Benz eEconic electric garbage trucks that are helping make the streets cleaner, quieter, and a lot less stinky.

Since the end of September, the city of Karlsruhe has been relying on Mercedes’ fully electric waste collection vehicles throughout, with none of the area-specific restrictions or limited rollout strategies for one or two trucks at a time that typically accompany stories like these. Instead, the city is using the Mercedes eEconics for the same stuff they’d use the diesel versions for: residual waste disposal, paper collection, and bulky waste collection.

Normal garbage duty, in other words. And, in such daily use, they do a great job. The trucks cover an average route distance of around 80 km (about 50 miles) on 112 kWh battery packs (usable capacity is ~97 kWh) which can be reliably completed in single-shift operation without intermediate charging — thanks, in part, to Mercedes’ efficient electric motors and regenerative braking that shines in the trucks’ typical stop-and-go duty cycles.

More than a single shift, in fact. The fleet managers report that after “a good 80 kilometers with around 60 stops on its daily route,” energy consumption was only around 35% of the battery capacity, meaning the charge level dropped from 100% to 65% and 64% respectively.

At the same time, CO₂ emissions are significantly reduced: depending on the area of application, each eEconic can save between 150 and 170 tons of CO₂ per year. This results in a total potential annual saving of around 1,200 tons of CO₂ emissions.

The purchase of the electric vehicles was funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV) as part of the guideline on the promotion of light and heavy commercial vehicles with alternative, climate-friendly drives and the associated refueling and charging infrastructure (KsNI). The funding guideline was coordinated by NOW GmbH, and applications were approved by the Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility.

Electrek’s Take

Look, you know me. There is absolutely ZERO chance that I’ll be able to remain objective about anything that’s putting down more than four thousand lb-ft of torque. Make that thing quieter, cleaner, and generally better for me and my community, and there’s even less of a chance of me saying anything critical about it.

Here’s hoping more cities go electric rather sooner than later.

Electreon snaps up InductEV’s wireless charging tech in new MoU

Electreon just took a big step toward expanding wireless EV charging. The Israel-based company signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to acquire the assets of InductEV, a Pennsylvania-based firm known for its ultra-fast, high-power static wireless charging systems used by heavy-duty electric transit and freight fleets.

If the deal closes after due diligence and regulatory approvals, the combined company would bring together Electreon’s dynamic wireless charging tech – the kind that can charge vehicles while they drive – with InductEV’s high-power stationary systems. That would create one of the most complete wireless charging portfolios on the market, covering everything from passenger EVs to vans, buses, heavy-duty trucks, and even autonomous vehicles.

Electreon and InductEV together hold around 400 granted and pending patents, and have a lot of field experience across their respective projects. Electreon says that pairing its manufacturing capabilities and global footprint with InductEV’s ultra-fast tech will help streamline and speed up fleet electrification.

Both companies already work with major vehicle OEMs, which Electreon asserts will make integrating wireless charging into future vehicle platforms easier.

Electreon CEO Oren Ezer said the deal would combine the two companies into “a truly global powerhouse for wireless EV charging.” He added that “the decision by InductEV’s shareholders to invest in Electreon is a tremendous vote of confidence in our shared vision.”

InductEV CEO John F. Rizzo said, “Together, we’re combining world-class innovation with real-world experience to deliver even greater value to our North American and European customers and accelerate the shift to wireless power for sustainable commercial transportation.”

BYD may bring an even smaller, cheaper EV to Europe

BYD may bring an even smaller, cheaper EV to Europe

BYD-cheaper-EV-Europe

The Dolphin Surf is already one of Europe’s cheapest EVs, yet BYD may have an even more affordable electric car up its sleeve.

Is BYD launching the Racco mini EV in Europe?

BYD revealed the Racco at last month’s Japan Auto Show, its first EV designed exclusively for overseas markets.

The mini EV, or “kei car,” is launching in Japan, where over 1.55 million of them were sold last year, accounting for about a third of new vehicles sold.

Although Japan has been a brutal market for foreign brands to crack, BYD believes it may have an edge. The Racco measures 3,395 mm in length, 1,475 mm in width, and 1,800 mm in height, or about 600 mm longer than the Dolphin Surf.

That’s about the size of the Nissan Sakura EV, Japan’s best-selling electric car. Like the Sakura and most kei cars, the Racco has a boxy, upright stance. It has four doors, with the back two sliding open.

Powered by a 20 kWh battery pack, the mini EV is expected to have a driving range of around 180 km (112 miles).

BYD is using its Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs to keep costs down. Although prices have yet to be revealed, the Racco is expected to start at around 2.5 million yen ($18,000) in Japan, putting it on par with the Nissan Sakura.

If it launched in Europe, the Racco could go on sale for under £15,000 ($20,000), putting it on par with the Dacia Spring (£14,995) and Leapmotor T03 (£15,995). The BYD Dolphin Surf currently starts at £18,650 ($24,300).

Although it will arrive in Japan first, BYD may launch its smallest, cheapest EV in Europe after all. BYD’s vice president Stella Li suggested to Autocar that the Racco could play a key role globally as an affordable, entry-level EV.

“In Japan, we are already launching a kei car; we will be very interested to follow the EU regulation,” Li said, adding, “If there’s some space, we can bring that car here.”

The regulation Li is referring to is the new “E-car” segment that the European Commission president, Ursula Von der Leyen, called for in September.

Von der Leyen said that Europe “should have its own E-car,” where “E” stands for efficient, economical, and European, and added “we cannot let China and others conquer this market.”

The Racco could sit underneath the Dolphin Surf in BYD’s growing European lineup. However, the company is focusing on expanding hybrid options. Li said launching Racco was “not a topic” the company is immediately focused on.

The Seal U, Europe’s best-selling plug-in hybrid through September, will be the first vehicle built at BYD’s new factory in Turkey, as it seeks to gain an edge through local production.
