Velotric Black Friday flash sale offers first savings on new Nomad 2X multi-terrain full suspension e-bike bundle at $2,299

As part of its ongoing early Black Friday Sale, Velotric has launched two flash sales running through the weekend, giving folks two models at returning lows and with a first-ever discount. The latter of these two is on the newest Nomad 2X Multi-Terrain Full Suspension e-bike at $2,299 shipped, and coming with a FREE rack top bag ($96 value). This model hit the market back in May and has been posted up at its $2,399 MSRP in all the time since, with the only discounts we’ve spotted being on the bundles that give you the bike and an EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus power station. This is the very first price cut we’ve seen on the lone e-bike, giving you a total $196 savings and setting the bar for future discounts down the road.

Locked and loaded for multi-terrain adventures and commutes, the Velotric Nomad 2X e-bike comes equipped with a full air suspension system to glide across the gnarliest terrain. The 801.6Wh battery powers the 750W rear hub motor (peaking at 1,400W) for up to 75 miles of pedal-assisted travel (up to 50 miles with throttle-only action) at up to 20/28 MPH top speeds, depending on your local laws. It comes with the brand’s SensorSwap tech, allowing you to choose between its cadence or torque sensor, and even bolsters security with Apple Find My integration across its in-app smart controls.

Among those premium features already listed, you’ll also be getting Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, puncture-resistant fat tires, an integrated LED headlight, an integrated taillight with brake lighting and turn signaling, a Shimano 8-speed derailleur, a rear cargo rack with a 120-pound payload, an overall 560-pound payload, a 3.5-inch full color display with a USB port to charge devices, and more.

You can also check out the weekend flash savings on Velotric’s Summit 1 Versatile Multi-Terrain e-bike with a FREE rear cargo rack and fender set back at its $1,799 low for the first time in 2025, as well as the brand’s full early Black Friday Sale in our original coverage here.

Ride1Up has launched its early Black Friday Sale with up to $600 discounts across a selection of its e-bikes, including first-time savings on the latest release. During this event, you can hop on Ride1Up’s TrailRush German Mid-Drive e-bike at $1,995 shipped. Since hitting the market in July, we’ve seen it keeping to its $2,095 MSRP, but now, the brand is giving us the first savings during this early Black Friday access event. You’ll be saving $100 off the going rate that sets the bar for possible future discounts, whenever we may see them again.

Normally going for $1,999 at full price, discounts over 2025 have only ever taken things down to $1,899, while it’s been a full year since we last saw this $1,799 low appear. You’re getting the first chance of the year to pick it up at its best tracked price, complete with $360 in total savings.

As part of Bluetti’s ongoing Black Friday Sale, our readers can score the new Pioneer Na(Sodium) Portable Power Station and bundles back at their lowest prices thanks to the exclusive code specifically for this series. While things last, you can pick up this latest backup power solution at $735.08 shipped, after using the exclusive code 9TO5TOYS8OFF at checkout, and which hasn’t yet made an appearance on other marketplaces like Amazon. We saw this all-new unit release mid-way through last month at $799 from its $1,299 MSRP, which is where it would be priced during this current sale if not for the exclusive 8% off promotional code we secured. Now, you’re getting another opportunity to pick it up at the best price we have tracked in its brief time on the market, giving you $564 in total savings on this unique, cold-proof portable power source.

As part of ALLPOWERS’ early Black Friday Sale, the brand is offering the best rate yet on its SOLAX P100 Portable Mini Power Station at $55 shipped, beating out Amazon’s current pricing by $4. It’s only been on the market since August, when it was released carrying a $199 MSRP, though it’s since been cut down to $189 by the brand. We saw it launch with a discount to $69, but has since been keeping at $89 for most of the time, until today. Now, you can score $34 off the going rate ($134 off the MSRP) that lands things at the best new price we have tracked. You can browse the full ALLPOWERS early Black Friday sale on the landing page here.

October EV sales slid, but deals and rebates are still in play

October EV sales slid, but deals and rebates are still in play

October EV sales

US EV sales declined in October following the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit on September 30, and the average transaction price (ATP) edged up, according to initial estimates from Kelley Blue Book, a Cox Automotive brand. However, there are still deals to be had.

Kelley Blue Book’s initial estimates show that US EV sales fell to 74,835 in October, down 48.9% from September, which was a record month, and 30.3% year-over-year.

Prices also ticked up. The average transaction price (ATP) for a new EV climbed 1.6% month-over-month to $59,125, which is 2.3% higher than a year ago.

Tesla didn’t escape the downturn, but it held up better than the overall EV market. The company’s ATP fell 1.1% from September to $53,526, and its prices are 5.5% lower than they were in October 2024. Sales of the Model 3 and Model Y both declined month-over-month, and overall Tesla sales decreased by 35.3% from September and 23.6% year-over-year, which are smaller declines compared to the broader EV segment.

Cox Automotive senior analyst Stephanie Valdez Streaty said the shift wasn’t surprising:

We expected this shift in the electric vehicle market. With the IRA-backed sales incentives gone, lower-cost EV volume was hit hard, pushing the mix toward more luxury and driving October’s EV ATP to a 2025 high of $59,125 – now $9,359 above the industry average. Affordability has always been the core challenge with EV sales, and this reset only underscores how critical it is to bring more attainable EV options to market.

Electrek’s Take

September was a record-breaking month for both EV deals and sales. Dealers were offering all sorts of sweet incentives to stack with the federal tax credit to move cars off the lot. October’s sales drop was entirely anticipated, like a pounding headache after a big blowout party.

We didn’t know what the post-federal tax credit EV market would look like. As Valdez Streaty rightly states, EVs do have a higher ATP than the industry average. But it turns out that, so far, it’s not all doom and gloom, and the federal tax credit isn’t the only incentive in town.

Every month, I compile great EV lease deals, and for the last few months, some EVs’ monthly lease payments have been cheaper than before the federal tax credit expired. Many states are still offering rebates on EV purchases, and dealers still have really good deals. While cheaper models would definitely be welcome, there are good deals available right now.

And let’s not forget the fact that EVs are much cheaper to drive than gas cars, with or without that tax credit.

DFW deploys SIX new Striker Volterra Electric ARFF 6×6 fire trucks

DFW deploys SIX new Striker Volterra Electric ARFF 6x6 fire trucks

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Welcomes Six New Striker Volterra Electric ARFF Vehicles Into Service

The Oshkosh-built Striker Volterra Electric Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighter (ARFF) packs advanced battery technology to deliver ultra-fast emergency response performance no matter how long it needs to be in action — and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport just put six of the awesome 6×6 machines to work!

Oshkosh has been manufacturing ARFF vehicles since it first launched the MB-5 for use by the US Navy back in 1968, and they’ve been pushing the envelope of disaster response performance ever since. The company’s latest ARFF, the Striker Volterra Electric shown here, features a slanted body with front bumper designed for maneuvering through the ditches and rough terrain they might encounter on a damaged runway. It’s also big — but it’s big for a purpose. Because ARFF vehicles don’t have to navigate the confines of city streets, they can be built bigger, carry more water, more rescue equipment, and more personnel than conventional fire trucks.

As the newest members of the DFW Fire-Rescue fleet, these Striker Volterra Electric ARFF vehicles represent a significant step in DFW’s broader plan to replace its legacy fleet with a modern, electrified response system, while also making DFW the largest Striker Volterra Electric ARFF fleet operator in the US.

“Enhancing performance by reducing response times is the key driver of transitioning to these new vehicles,” said Daniel White, DFW Fire-Rescue Chief. “The Striker Volterra vehicles are faster and more agile than our current fleet. Because they are also safe for our firefighters and conscious for the environment, this investment represents a rare win-win-win, delivering operational benefits while ensuring the safety of our responders and the community we serve.”

The Striker Volterra Electric 6×6 ARFF uses a proprietary Oshkosh electric powertrain and an electro-mechanical infinitely variable transmission (read: CVT) paired to an integrated diesel generator. The setup enables zero-emission electric operation during normal station entry, standby, and low-speed tasks, eliminating firefighter exposure to their ARFF’s diesel exhaust 99% of the time. For sustained high-power demands during active fire suppression, the system seamlessly draws from both the battery and generator, ensuring uninterrupted pumping power and performance without operator intervention.

“Our commitment goes far beyond delivering a vehicle,” said Travis Ownby, sales specialist with Siddons-Martin Emergency Group. “It’s about helping departments like DFW Fire-Rescue lead the way in operational excellence and sustainability. We’re proud to support their mission with the Striker Volterra Electric ARFF vehicles.”

The addition of the Striker Volterra Electric ARFF vehicles also supports DFW’s transition to fluorine-free firefighting foam in line with FAA guidance and the industry’s move away from PFAS-based agents for a more environmentally responsible response capability across the airport.

Electrek’s Take

With the relatively short distances driven and extreme loads involved, airports present a nearly ideal use case for battery-electric vehicles in general, and their immediate off-the-line torque, improved efficiency, and ability to operate much more quietly than diesels (facilitating emergency crews’ communications) could make all the difference in an emergency situation where lives are quite literally on the line.

Plus, as demand for on-road fossil fuels drops, airports and airlines (historically responsible for about 4% Earth’s global warming) are becoming a bigger and bigger slice of a rapidly shrinking pie when it comes to fossil fuel emissions. Or, as OshKosk put it, “As airports continue to prioritize sustainability and operational efficiency, the Striker Volterra electric ARFF stands out as a forward-thinking solution that meets today’s demands while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.”

It’s a bit pitchy, but I couldn’t agree more.
