juiced bikes ripracer

Headlining today’s best deals is a $600 discount on Juiced Bikes’ RipRacer e-bike that returns costs to the $899 all-time low that we haven’t seen since August. It is joined by Snow Joe’s 24V 21-inch Electric Snow Blower for $300, as well as a notable sale on a few Amazon Basics rechargeable battery packs, with the 12-pack of AAA batteries leading at $14. Plus, all of today’s other best new Green Deals.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Juiced RipRacer Fun-Sized Fat-Tire e-bike hits $899 low

Juiced Bikes is offering its RipRacer Fun-Sized Fat-Tire e-bike for $899 shipped, after using the code VIP100 at checkout. Down from its regular $1,499 price tag, this e-bike was featured in many holiday and flash sales throughout 2023, often landing between $1,099 and $999. Today’s deal comes in as a 40% markdown off the going rate to beat out its Black Friday and October closeout sale prices by $100 and return to the all-time lowest price we have tracked – the best price since August.

The RipRacer comes in three colorways (blue, green, and black) and is equipped with a 750W motor and an upgraded G2 52V lithium-ion battery allowing it to reach top speeds of 20 to 28 MPH depending on your throttle and pedal assist usage, while also offering a range of 35 to 55+ miles. It features five levels of pedal assistance alongside a standard cadence sensor. You’ll also receive a more humble collection of accessories than some of the brand’s other models like hydaulic disc brakes, a 1,050-lumen headlight paired with a 2-mode taillight, knobby fat-tires for smoother off-road joyrides, and a back-lit LCD display that keeps you informed of real-time metrics as well as allowing you to adjust riding settings.

Snow Joe 24V 21-inch Cordless Snow Blower now $300

Through the end of the day, Best Buy is offering the Snow Joe 24V 21-inch Single Stage Cordless Electric Snow Blower with four 12Ah batteries for $299.99 shipped. Down from a regular $800 price tag, today’s deal comes in as a massive 63% markdown off the going rate, beating our previous mention by $150 and marking a new all-time low. A major detail about this particular package is the inclusion of four 12Ah batteries and two chargers, which significantly increases its runtime to cover far more area. You’ll find the same 24V snow blower with only two 4.0Ah batteries as the more common option on Amazon for around $400, for example, that only gives it a 40-minute lifespan – whereas finding it with the four 12.0Ah batteries will often start at a $1,400 list price.

Equipped with a 2,800W brushless motor powered by a IONMAX battery system, this snow blower is able to clear a 21-inch wide and 12-inch deep path, throwing the snow up to 30 feet out of the way. You won’t have to worry about ice, either, as its 2-blade steel auger is able to break it up and cut through at faster rates, all while its weather-resistant steel body stands up to challenging conditions. It features a variable speed control for the auger to give you better handling over the device, with 3W LED headlights as well for better visibility when doing nighttime or early-morning clearings.

Amazon Basics Rechargeable AAA battery 12-pack now $14

Amazon is offering its Basics 12-pack Rechargeable AAA NiMH High-Capacity Batteries for $13.67 shipped. Free delivery is available for Prime members and on orders over $25. Down from its typical $25 price tag, it saw plenty of ups and downs during 2023, hitting the all-time low in January and keeping between $18 and $11 for the rest of the year. Today’s deal comes in as a 45% markdown off the going rate, beating out our previous mention by $3 and costing you approximately $1.14 per battery, which lands among some of the lowest prices we have tracked. All-in-all this 12-pack sits just $4 above the all-time low. You’ll receive 12 reliable AAA batteries with an individual capacity of 850mAh, ideal for small toys, remotes, digital cameras, and other devices. They can each be recharged up to 500 times, and offer a shelf-life of 2 years for everyday use.

While the other sized packs are discounted at various levels, there are a few that are seeing bigger markdowns than usual, with both offering extra 5% to 8% savings when you buy two or more. These discounts will apply themselves during checkout.

Tested: Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 portable power station brings ample support in a smaller and lighter unit

Anker is hands-down one of the most well-known tech accessory brands with an extensive lineup of consumer electronics, and its SOLIX sub-brand has making waves in the  portable backup power solution space. Its C1000 power station made big waves when it first hit the market in 2023, quickly becoming a popular charging solution for camping and other outdoor activities, in particular. Now, two years later, the Anker has introduced its SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station, which I was lucky enough to snag and test out, and which I believe will outshine its predecessor in the long run. Head below to get my hands-on impressions of this all-new solar generator.

Letric ONE belt-drive e-bike hits $1,899 low during Better-Than-Prime Sale with up to $694 in FREE gear on models from $999

Lectric has launched its Better-Than-Prime Sale with increased savings on its e-bikes reaching up to $720 in total. One notable return is the price cut on the brand’s Premium ONE Long-Range Belt-Drive Commuter e-bike to $1,899 shipped, while it also gets $220 in FREE add-on gear too. This is the biggest deal of the bunch as we’re seeing a $500 price cut from it’s usual $2,399 rate for the second time since the brand’s Labor Day sale, with the additional $220 savings you’re getting from the free included bundle, which contains a rear cargo rack and fenders to go over both wheels. All-in-all, you’re getting a second chance at the best deal to date, with $720 in savings at its all-time lowest tracked price.

Riders looking for the most premium model under Lectric’s flag will certainly enjoy the ONE Long-Range e-bike, which is a higher-end (and much higher-priced) solution that brings a plethora of top features to your commute. This model boasts a Sutto 750W rear hub motor (1,310W peak) alongside a Gates CDC 113-tooth Carbon Drive Belt System, delivering top speeds of 20 to 28 MPH, depending on your state-specific laws. The whole thing is powered by the 14Ah battery that provides up to 60 miles of pedal-assisted travel (bolstered by the brand’s PWR programming) on one full charge. There is also the throttle for pure electric riding, which does decrease its overall mileage.

Joining the motor and belt-drive, another set of premium features you’ll find here is the Pinion auto-shifting gearbox and a 24A potted motor controller that allows more effortless surges to its peak output. There are also the hydraulic mineral oil disc brakes, 20-inch puncture-resistant city tires, an integrated headlight, a brake-activated taillight, hidden cable routing, a color LCD screen, and more.

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.

Kia’s smallest EV is full of big surprises

Kia's smallest EV is full of big surprises

Kia's-smallest-EV

It’s almost here. Kia is about to introduce its smallest, most affordable electric vehicle yet. Although the EV2 is tiny, Kia promises it will look and feel much larger both inside and out.

Kia will unveil the EV2, its smallest EV, in early 2026

We knew it was coming sometime in 2026, but now we have a better idea of when we can expect to see it for the first time.

Kia’s President and CEO Song Ho-Sung told Auto Express that the company is preparing to unveil the EV2 in early 2026. Although he didn’t reveal a specific date, Song offered a few new details we can expect to see when it arrives in production form.

The EV2 Concept was showcased during Kia’s EV Day earlier this year, a preview of the upcoming entry-level EV.

Like Kia’s previous concepts, such as the EV3 and EV4, you can expect the EV2 to look pretty close to the one shown earlier this year.

“It is still a concept car, but a lot of it you will see,” Karim Habib, Kia’s design boss, told Auto Express, adding, “You can take the example of the EV3 or EV4, which we showed two years ago as concepts.” The EV2 will be no different. According to Habib, “the delta between production car and show car is exactly the same.”

It will debut with Kia’s new “Opposites United” design, showcased on its latest electric vehicles like the EV3, EV4, and EV5.

The new design features Kia’s signature Star Map daytime running lights (DRLs), smooth lines, and revamped front and back ends.

Like the EV9 and EV5, the EV2 has a more upright SUV-like stance, which will be carried over to the production model as recent spy shots have confirmed.

Although it’s Kia’s smallest EV to date, Song said the “interior roominess” will surprise buyers. The concept features a unique folding rear bench that Habib hinted could make its way into the production car.

The minimalist layout will remain essentially unchanged, but the rear-hinged doors won’t be offered. Well, at least, at first.

Habib said that is something Hyundai Motor Group is still “working towards,” confirming plans to apply it to future vehicles.

Kia said the EV2 will start at around 30,000 euros ($35,000) when it goes on sale in 2026, or slightly less than the EV3. We could see the production model as soon as the Brussels Motor Show in January.

The EV2 will be built at Kia’s manufacturing plant in Slovakia, specifically for the European market. After the EV2, Kia plans to launch an even smaller, more affordable EV1 as the new base model for its electric car lineup (EV1 to EV9).

Archer Aviation demonstrated public eVTOL flights in California and they were so quiet! [Video]

Archer Aviation demonstrated public eVTOL flights in California and they were so quiet! [Video]

Archer eVTOL flights

After an announcement last week, eVTOL developer Archer Aviation completed display flights to the public at the 2025 California International Air Show. This public display was Archer’s latest aerial achievement in the public eye as it moves closer to certification and commercial eVTOL operations.

While Archer Aviation ($ACHR) has been a mainstay on Electrek‘s eVTOL news beat for the past few years, the past few months have been fascinating. In May, Archer signed on as the exclusive air taxi provider of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

By June, it became the latest sustainable aviation developer to begin bona fide piloted test flights in its flagship Midnight aircraft (pictured below). Archer’s success continued through the summer, as it reported milestones that marked its longest piloted eVTOL flight (55 miles in 31 minutes), as well as its two highest altitude flights, reaching heights of 7,000 and 10,000 feet.

Last week, Archer announced that it would be demonstrating the capabilities of its Midnight eVTOL to the public with multiple flights over the weekend during the California International Air Show. One day later, we have footage of one of the flights that we want you to see (and try to hear).

Archer shows of eVTOL tech during display flights in CA

As promised, Archer Aviation completed display flights with its Midnight eVTOL during both days of the 2025 California International Air Show in Salinas, CA, this past weekend. The Salinas Municipal Airport is actually home to Archer’s test flight facility, and the startup was a sponsor of the event.

The annual air show was expected to welcome over 65,000 attendees, not including the 1,000 expected to visit from Archer’s engineering, operations, and flight test departments. According to Archer, its Midnight eVTOL was scheduled for initial test flights, followed by notable flybys from other prominent groups, such as the Blue Angels and the USAF F-16 Viper Demo team.

While those other aerial teams are indeed more death-defying entertainment, their conventional technology is significantly more polluting, from an air and noise perspective. That’s a huge selling point for eVTOL developers like Archer, as they offer more and more public flight demonstrations to inform people of the benefits of this segment.

You have to see Archer’s flight footage of the Midnight to understand what we’re talking about. The aircraft is zooming by over the crowd, and you can not only clearly hear the emcee tallying off the eVTOL’s specs, but you can actually hear murmurs and conversations of people in the crowd—no chance you’re hearing any of that when the Blue Angels soar by.

Obviously, there’s a huge design gap between an all-electric air taxi and an F/A-18 Super Hornet, but the test flights still showcase how much quieter certain aerial travel can be. A better comparison would be a helicopter, which could easily be replaced by eVTOL vessels in the near future.

Until then, you can enjoy the demo eVTOL flight video from Archer below.
