We’re kicking off this week’s Green Deals with the biggest bundle package we’ve seen on Lectric’s ONE Long-Range e-bike at $2,299 that comes with a free extra battery for 100+ miles of travel and $220 in further free gear. Following close behind it is a 9to5Toys-exclusive discount from Wellbots on the Anker SOLIX F3800 Power Station that comes with an expansion battery at just $3,599. We’ve also spotted a one-day sale on Hyper’s Jet Fuel Step-Over BMX e-bike at a $600 low, a new low price on the Husqvarna 330iKE Combi Switch alongside its edger attachment for $293, and a bunch of great deals on AeroGarden’s Indoor Hydroponic Systems that start from $60. Bringing up the rear, while not necessarily a Green Deal, we did also notice Worx’s 8-in-1 Aerocart hitting a 2024 low, which makes a welcome support alongside your electric yard tools. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals that are still alive and well, like the latest Rad Power e-bike sale, or the best price we’ve seen this year on the Greenworks CrossoverZ Electric Zero-Turn Riding Mower, and more.

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.

Lectric’s ONE Long-Rang e-bike gets free extra battery bundle and more at $2,299

Lectric is giving folks one of the best bundle deals we’ve seen on its ONE Long-Range e-bike that adds $720 in free gear to your purchase at $2,299 shipped. This massive package would normally cost you $3,019 in all, which is the biggest addition of add-on accessories that we’ve seen for this model. What makes this such a great deal is the inclusion of a free extra battery that ramps up its long-range traveling capabilities even further – plus, you’ll also be getting a rear cargo rack and fenders for both wheels. Learn more about this micromobility solution below or in our hands-on review.

Lectric’s ONE is the company’s premium commuter solution that was designed to bring high-quality parts like the Pinion auto-shifting electric gearbox and a carbon fiber-reinforced drive belt into a more budget-friendly price range. It’s been given a 750W rear hub motor that peaks at 1,310W, as well as a 48V 14Ah battery that can power the motor up to 60 miles on a single charge normally (extended to 100+ miles thanks to the extra battery). It tops out at speeds of 28 MPH when permitted by state laws and comes supported by five levels of PWR pedal assistance with 96 magnet cadence sensors, which is well over the typical 12 you see on a lot of standard e-bikes.

It’s been equipped with a 24A potted motor controller that better ramps up to its peak power output for inclines and bursts of speed when needed. There’s a thumb throttle for when you want to just cruise around with little effort (though keep in mind this does lower its travel range), 20-inch puncture-resistant city tires that have been designed to take hits and keep going, an integrated LED headlight and taillight, hydraulic mineral oil brakes, hidden cable routing, a kickstand, and a new color LCD display.

You can check out all the other bundle deals being offered by the popular brand here – with models receiving up to $727 in free gear.

Score exclusive $2,000 off Anker’s SOLIX F3800 LiFePo4 power station with expansion battery at $3,599

Wellbots is giving 9to5Toys readers another exclusive chance at massive savings on the Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station bundled with an Expansion Battery for $3,599 shippedafter using the promo code 9to5ANKER400 at checkout for an additional $400 off the price tag. Already seeing a steep fall from its normal $5,598 price tag (with Anker’s online storefront starting at a higher $6,498 list price), we’ve only tracked a handful of previous discounts on this bundle since hitting the market in January, with the biggest of them coming in at the tail-end of July from Wellbots and dropping $200 lower, while direct-from-Anker sales have only seen it fall as low as $4,199. You can score it here today with this exclusive offer at the second-best rate we’ve seen, and giving you nearly $2,000 in savings ($2,899 in savings off Anker’s storefront).

With Anker’s SOLIX F3800, you’re getting a mobile backup solution that dishes out up to 6,000W of power output from its doubled 7,680Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity, courtesy of the bundled expansion battery. The unit itself sports plenty of ports to cover your needs for traveling, camping, and even total home support during blackouts – with eight ACs, three USB-Cs, two USB-As, one DC, and one car port. There are also connections to hook up and support your RV, an electric car, and your home’s circuit breaker. One thing to note about the latter support: you will need either a Home Backup Kit for sectional home support or you can utilize the Home Power Panel that keeps your entire household up and running (Both sold separately).

The F3800 comes with a variety of recharging options, with the main two being a 2.7-hour charge when plugged into a standard wall outlet or a quicker two-hour charge when connected to its maximum 2,400W solar input. The unit features a rollable design, with wheels along its bottom for extra convenience, along with an LCD display that lets you monitor and adjust its settings – plus, there are remote smart controls that you can access via the companion app too.

BMX meets e-mobility with Hyper’s Jet Fuel Step-Over e-bike at $600 low for today only

Through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering a great entry-level e-bike option with some alternative style in the form of the Hyper Jet Fuel Step-Over BMX e-bike for $599.99 shipped. Normally priced at $1,000 most days, with a higher $1,198 MSRP direct from Hyper, we’ve seen very few discounts on this particular model, often coming from Hyper themselves and often at much higher rates orbiting $1,000. Today, you’re looking at the chance to score a 40% markdown, saving you $400 off its Best Buy rate (and $598 off its full MSRP) while landing it at the lowest price we can find.

Hyper’s Jet Fuel delivers a fun mash-up between e-mobility solutions and a 26-inch BMX platform, giving folks a colorfully stylish change-up from many models on the market that also makes a great first-time ride for teens and adults alike. It has been given a 250W rear-hub motor alongside an integrated flush-mount 36V 10.4Ah battery and three levels of pedal assistance. It tops out at 20 MPH and can carry the rider up to 20 miles on a single four-hour charge. It’s been equipped with 26-inch multi-surface fat tires for enhanced traction for wherever you’re riding – streets, off-road trails, bike parks, etc. It also sports front and rear disc brakes, a premium BMX padded seat, and a simple handlebar-mounted controller to switch between its settings.

Husqvarna 330iKE Combi Switch Cordless Electric Lawn Edger Bundle hits new $293 low

Amazon is bringing down the costs on the Husqvarna 330iKE Battery Edger to $292.63 shipped, with the model more regularly fetching $420. Husqvarna is one of the higher-end tool brands that see less frequent discounts than others, with this model, in particular, seeing a few price cuts over 2024, but still keeping above $335. Today though, we’re seeing a bigger markdown than ever before as $127 is being taken off its tag, landing it at a new all-time low that gives fans of the brand a great chance to upgrade at only 70% the usual cost.

This 330iKE bundle is one of several versatile models that falls within Husqvarna’s Combi Switch family, with the edger attachment able to switch out with over 14 others in a matter of moments, giving folks a more manageable system to perform their garden and lawncare duties without needing an individual tool for each job. The edger attachment sports an 8-inch steel cutting blade that provides a 2.5-inch cutting depth, along with a 6-inch adjustable wheel for smooth operations to keep your lines on a straight and narrow path. There’s no cords here to worry about either, with the Combi Switch motor ready to also take any other Husqvarna batteries you’ve invested in for longer runtimes too.

AeroGarden Sprout

AeroGarden’s Indoor Hydroponic Garden Systems starting from $60

Amazon is offering the white AeroGarden Sprout Indoor Hydroponic system for $59.90 shipped. More recently fetching $80 at full price after falling from its $110 MSRP at the tail-end of last year, we’ve seeing this model drop as low as $35 direct from AeroGarden, and as low as $40 from Amazon, with the prices keeping around $80 since May. Today, costs are dropping a bit lower to usher in fall, with a 25% markdown that lands it among its lowest Amazon rates and gives you a great option to enjoy fresh veggies and herbs during the colder months ahead.

On the smaller and more compact end of AeroGarden’s lineup of hydroponic indoor gardens, the Sprout utilizes a grow deck and water bowl to cultivate your favorite vegetables, herbs, or flowers so you can do away with messy soil for a tidier experience. You can grow up to three different plants at once to a size of up to 10 inches tall here, with a full-spectrum 10W LED grow light that expediates growth at up to five times faster a rate than if you were to use soil. It also comes with a Gourmet Herb Seed Pod kit to get you started, with all you need to grow and enjoy fresh Genovese Basil, Curly Parsley, and Dill.

You can go even bigger with your plant cultivation with AeroGarden’s Harvest Elite model which is currently going for $110. In this model, you can grow a total of six plants up to 12 inches tall – coming with its only six-pod seed kit for Genovese Basil, Curly Parsley, Dill, Thyme, Thai Basil, and Mint. It also includes a vacation mode that helps you keep your plants growing when you’re away from the house for longer periods. There’s also a special promotion on the Harvest 2.0 and Bounty Basic models that give you 50% off one unit when buying two or more, which you can check out here.

Worx Aerocart 8-in-1 Yard Cart falls to $160 2024 low for the rest of the day

Courtesy of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the popular Worx Aerocart 8-In-1 Yard Cart for $159.99 shipped. You’ll normally find this handy yard cart at $230 most days, with discounts only dropping every few months. We’ve seen costs this year brought down to $170 at the lowest during one of Best Buy’s previous one-day sales back in July, with the others keeping between $172 and $179 (the latter being its recent Prime Day rate). Today is bringing us the best price we’ve seen so far in 2024 at a $70 markdown – which is also matching over at Amazon too.

Adding this versatile cart to your tool shed will make enormous jobs around your yard and/or garden far more manageable than your average wheelbarrow, with it sporting multi-use functionality and a 300-pound payload. It’s been designed to provide eight different configurations, able to transform in a few moments between a lightweight wheelbarrow to a yard cart, or even a bag holder, dolly – which extends further out too for larger transport jobs – as well as a cylinder carrier, rock/plant mover, or a trailer tote. If you’ve got some large-scale plans for your gardens/yard, you’re going to want a larger scale of support so you can properly show off your green thumb and/or landscaping prowess.

Summer e-bike deals!

Costco Executive members get MASSIVE $31,500 off Chevy Brightdrop van

Costco Executive members get MASSIVE ,500 off Chevy Brightdrop van

With 272 miles of range and more room inside its walls than your first apartment, GM’s Chevy Brightdrop electric van is one of the best commercial EVs you can buy. And if you’re a Costco Executive member, you can get one for yourself or your business with an absolutely incredible $31,500 discount. (!)

Fleet electrification expert Tony Nisam took to LinkedIn yesterday to post a deal that he ran across at a Washington State Costco that stacks a $25,500 manufacturer rebate with $3,000 in “regular” Costco Member Savings, $2,750 in “LIMITED-TIME” Manufacturer to Member Incentives, plus an additional $250 for Costco Executive members.

Do a bit of math (add up 25,500 + 3,000 + $2,750 + 250), and you’ll calculate an almost unheard of $31,500 discount on one of the best, most capable commercial vans on the market – ICE or electric. And that’s before you factor in the 0% interest financing (72 mo.) being advertised at Blade Chevrolet, the Mount Vernon, Washington, where VIN 2G58J2TY6S9104313 (the exact van shown, below) is shown as stock number 16757.

If you’re not a Costco member yet and you’re looking for a new truck for your business or even a unique #vanlife ride with zero emissions, modern tech, and a nationwide dealer network, GM makes that $130 Executive membership seem like a no-brainer.

Kind of a big deal

“But wait,” says the floating, disembodied ghost of the great Billy Mays. “There’s more!” In addition to the $31,500 worth of discounts Costco Executive members get, there are deals to be had on chargers AND a number of other state and local utility incentives your business might qualify for, bringing the cost of adding a new Chevy Brightdrop to your fleet even lower. In northern Illinois, for example, ComEd commercial customers can get up to $7,500 in rebates for a new Brightdrop Zevo van.

Is a $39,000 price cut enough to get you to take a look at a new Brightdrop? At $45,235 (from a starting price of $84,235), can you afford not to? Head down to the comments and let us know.

Tesla quietly removes range extender battery option on Cybertruck

Tesla quietly removes range extender battery option on Cybertruck

Tesla has quietly removed the Cybertruck’s range extender from the options in its online configurator.

Does Tesla still plan to bring the product to market?

When Tesla unveiled the production version of the Cybertruck in late 2023, there were two main disappointments: the price and the range.

The tri-motor version, which was the most popular in reservation tallies, was supposed to have over 500 miles of range and start at $70,000.

Advertisement – scroll for more content

Tesla now sells the tri-motor Cybertruck for $100,000 and only has a range of 320 miles.

As for the dual-motor Cybertruck, it was supposed to cost $50,000 and have over 300 miles of range. The reality is that it starts at $80,000, and it has 325 miles of range.

However, Tesla had devised a solution to bring the range closer to what it originally announced: a separate battery pack that sits in the truck’s bed. Tesla called it a “range extender.” It costs $16,000 and takes up a third of the Cybertruck’s bed.

Even though the Cybertruck has been in production for a year and a half at this point, the range extender has yet to launch.

Initially, Tesla said that it would come “early 2025”, but we reported that it was pushed to “mid-2025” late last year.

At the time, Tesla also reduced the range that the removable battery pack adds to the Cybertruck to “445+ miles” rather than “470+ miles” for the dual motor – a ~25-mile reduction in range.

Now, Tesla has removed the option from its online Cybertruck configurator. It used to take reservations for the range extender with a “$2,000 non-refundable deposit”, as seen on the image above, but now it’s not in the configurator at all at the time of writing.

It’s unclear if Tesla is not planning to launch the product anymore or if it is just pausing reservations.

In its specs page, Tesla still lists the achievable range of both versions of the Cybertruck with and without the range extender battery:

Electrek’s Take

I’m curious. Is it dead, or does Tesla just want to stop taking reservations for it?

At first, I was curious about the product even though I didn’t think it would make up for Tesla’s significant miss on Cybertruck specs.

However, after it was confirmed that it takes up 30% of your bed and that it needs to be installed and removed by Tesla at a service center, I think it’s pretty much dead on arrival at $16,000.

It’s going to be a product limited to only a few people at best. And now that’s if it makes it to market.

With the option being removed from the configurator, there’s no production timeline available. Again, the last one was “mid-2025”, which is soon.

EcoFlow members can save up to 65% on power stations while supporting disaster relief during the 2025 Member’s Festival

EcoFlow members can save up to 65% on power stations while supporting disaster relief during the 2025 Member's Festival

Portable power station specialist EcoFlow is kicking off its third annual Member’s Festival this month and is offering a unique new rewards program to those who become EcoFlow members. The 2025 EcoFlow Member’s Festival will offer savings of up to 65% for its participating customers, and a portion of those funds will be allocated toward rescue power solutions for communities around the globe through the company’s “Power for All” fund.

EcoFlow remains one of the industry leaders in portable power solutions and continues to trek forward in its vision to power a new tech-driven, eco-conscious future. Per its website:

Our mission from day one is to provide smart and eco-friendly energy solutions for individuals, families, and society at large. We are, were, and will continue to be a reliable and trusted energy companion for users around the world.

To achieve such goals, EcoFlow has continued to expand its portfolio of sustainable energy solutions to its community members, including portable power stations, solar generators, and mountable solar panels. While EcoFlow is doing plenty to support its growing customer base, it has expanded its reach by giving back to disaster-affected communities by helping bolster global disaster response efforts the best way it knows how– with portable power solutions.

EcoFlow and its members look to provide “Power for All”

Since 2023, EcoFlow has collaborated with organizations worldwide as part of its “Power for All” mission. This initiative aims to ensure access to reliable and timely power to disaster-affected communities across the globe, including rescue agencies, affected hospitals, and shelters, to support rescue and recovery efforts.

This fund most recently provided aid for communities affected by the recent Los Angeles wildfires, assistance to the Special Forces Charitable Trust (SFCT) in North Carolina following severe hurricanes, and support for non-profits engaged in hurricane preparedness in Florida and the Gulf Coast. Per Jodi Burns, CEO of the Special Forces Charitable Trust:

In the wake of devastating storms in Western North Carolina, reliable power was a critical need for the families we serve. Thanks to EcoFlow’s generous donation of generators, we were able to provide immediate relief, ensuring these families and their communities had access to power when they needed it most. We are so impressed with EcoFlow’s commitment to disaster response through their ‘Power for All’ program. It has made a tangible impact, and we are deeply grateful for their support and partnership in helping these families recover and rebuild.

In 2024, the US experienced 27 weather and climate events, each causing losses exceeding $1 billion, marking the second-highest annual total on record, according to National Centers for Environmental Information. The increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters underscore the critical need for reliable and timely power solutions during emergencies, much like EcoFlow and its members are helping provide through the “Power For All” initiative.

To support new and existing EcoFlow members, the company is celebrating its third annual Member’s Festival throughout April to offer a do-not-miss discount on its products and donate a portion of all sales to the “Power for All” fund to provide rescue power to those in need in the future. Learn how it all works below.

Save big and give back during the 2025 Member’s Festival

As of April 1st, you can now sign up to become an EcoFlow member to participate in the company’s exclusive 2025 Member Festival.

As a member, you can earn “EcoFlow Power Points” by completing tasks like registration, referrals, and product purchases and tracking your individual efforts toward disaster preparedness and recovery.
