Tenways’ new 8-speed chain-drive CGO600 Pro e-bike launches at $1,399 low with bonus savings

Today, Tenways is launching its new chain version of the popular CGO600 Pro e-bike that is getting a $500 launch discount to $1,399 shipped, while its belt-drive model has risen to $1,699 shipped. It will hold the same $1,899 regular price tag as the belt-drive model, which often falls to $1,499 during sales, though we regularly see it down at $1,399 on occasion too. This makes this launch a great opportunity to grab a lightweight commuter at the best price that we can find since the brand hit our radar. You can learn about the changes this new model brings below, or you can learn more through our launch coverage.

The biggest update to Tenways’ new CGO600 Pro e-bike is the switch from the previous Gates carbon belt drive system to an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain, which offers the same rated performance specs as its counterpart. The other big switch up here is the addition of a new Tenways C9 350W rear hub motor over the belt-drive’s Mivice M080 350W motor, which again, claims the same general performance as before. All-in-all you’re still getting an extremely lightweight e-bike weighing between 37 to 41 pounds (depending on your accessory additions), with a 20 MPH top speed, four levels of pedal assistance supported by a torque sensor, and up to 53 miles of travel range on a single charge.

Aside from those big changes, Tenways’ new CGO600 Pro e-bike comes with the same Tektro dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes, puncture-proof tires, LED lighting, internally-routed cables, a compact OLED display, companion app integration – as well as four solid colorways on top of three different size options.

There’s also the added bonus deal that gets you a free mudguard set for the wheels alongside a kickstand (valued at $118) by simply subscribing to Tenways’ newsletter. If you happen to be a medical provider, military member, first responder, or teacher, you can follow the link on the page to get verified and receive an additional $150 off your purchase.

ecoflow Halloween flash sale

Alongside EcoFlow’s ongoing Halloween sale, the brand has launched the first of its scheduled 24-hour flash sales, with today’s offering the DELTA Pro Smart Extra Battery for $1,399 shipped. Normally priced at $2,799, it spent the first half of 2024 repeatedly falling to $1,599 with each discount, until July saw things fall a little lower to $1,499, followed the next month by a drop to $1,399. Since August we’ve seen it keep above $1,469, with today’s flash sale giving you another shot at the 50% markdown that not only returns costs to the all-time lowest price we have tracked but also lets you double up your existing DELTA Pro’s battery capacity for even longer-lasting backup power.

With EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro smart extra battery back at its lowest price, you’ll be getting the best deal to double your power station’s 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity to 7,200Wh, giving you longer-lasting backup power to cover off-grid camping needs, small business support (such as food truck appliances), and even powering your home necessities during sudden power outages. There’s a bright LCD screen for quick performance readouts at a glance or you can monitor and control everything from your personal devices through the EcoFlow app.

One thing to keep in mind here in terms of total home backup support – you’ll need to already have a few more DELTA Pro stations with their smart extra battery setups (up to the 25kWh maximum) alongside the transfer switch and power cord to carry your home’s entire breaker, or invest in a larger backup unit.

You’ll get the same recharging rates through this unit that you get with its power station counterpart, with the two sharing a 6,500W MultiCharge, letting them charge/discharge in unison once they’ve been connected together.

Be sure to check out the entire lineup of power stations, bundles, smart devices, and accessories that are benefitting from up to 51% off discounts through the rest of the month, with two more planned 24-hour flash sales on 26, and 29.

Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bike

Hiboy’s 68-mile trekking 2024 P7 Commuter e-bike hits new $850 low in Halloween sale

Hiboy has launched a Halloween sale that is taking up to $850 off a lineup of e-bikes and e-scooters through the rest of the month. A standout this time around is the brand’s new 2024 P7 Commuter Electric Bike which is down at $849.99 shipped. Normally carrying a $1,700 price tag, we saw the very first discount on this new model drop costs back at the end of August, with the brand’s Labor Day sales skipping over it entirely and other minor sales only returning it to $900. Today, prices have finally shifted lower as it receives a 50% markdown that saves you $850, beating out its previous low rate by $50 and landing it at a new all-time low price.

It’s nice to see this entry-level e-bike finally gaining some attention, as it offers an affordable rate alongside a more simplified riding experience that doesn’t take any specialized insights to judge. It delivers a 28 MPH top speed (beating out many higher-end models that cut out at 20/25MPH) with three riding modes that produce some solid commuting power. There’s the standard bike mode letting you pedal yourself, a power-assist mode that supports you to its top speed for up to 68 miles, or you can use the throttle by itself for up to 37 miles of cruising.

The streamlined frame houses the 500W brushless motor and the removable IPX5-rated waterproof 14.5Ah battery and weighs in at 56 pounds, making it a much more manageable model for smaller and less physically-endowed riders (plus it can handle riders up to 265 pounds). There’s a Multifunction LCD Display that gives you the usual at-a-glance data you expect on top of acting as a personal coach for those of you interested in getting back in shape, pushing you to outdo your previous days’ best. Other features include front shocks, 2.2-inch mountain tires, power-off front/rear disc brakes, and an IPX4 water-resistant frame rating.

Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bike

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is giving us another shot at the best rate on its Yeti 1500X Portable Power Station at $779.89 shipped. While usually wearing a $1,300 price tag after falling from its original $1,800 MSRP over the summer, it has more recently kept between $1,100 to $1,234 on Amazon, with its bundle options seeing more frequent discounts than the standalone unit that usually sits for long periods at continuous rates. Today, you can take advantage of this unexpected return of the new low price we first saw a few weeks ago during Prime Day that saves you $520 off its going rate, beating out both Goal Zero’s direct site where it’s sitting at full price, and its previous low price by almost $200. The power station can be bundled with a 100W solar panel for $867 at the moment, or there’s a 200W solar panel bundle option down at $1,290.

Goal Zero’s Yeti 1500X power station delivers a reliable 1,516Wh capacity and an impressive 2,000W of power output (surging up to 3,500W) that can handle devices, appliances, and job site tool needs. For output ports, you’re looking at a nice spread of connection options with two AC ports, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two 6mm ports, a regulated 12V port, and one car port. Recharging the battery back to full takes about 14 hours when plugged into a wall outlet, which can be dropped down to three hours when pairing alongside a Goal Zero Yeti X 600W Power Supply. You can also get the battery refueled by connecting the station to your car, as well as utilizing solar charging with up to 600W max input.

EGO Power+ snow blower

Prep for winter with $100 off an EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch cordless electric snow blower at $549

Amazon is offering more savings towards your winter prep with the EGO Power+ 56V 21-Inch Cordless Electric Snow Blower at $549 shipped. Usually priced at $649 most days, this model has only seen a handful of discounts this year, mostly keeping costs above $551, though we did spot a fall to the $519 low back in May. Today’s deal gives you a solid $100 slashed off the tag and the third-lowest price we have tracked – just $30 above the all-time low.

Winter prep has begun and with the solid savings on this EGO Power+ 56V cordless electric snow blower, it’s a good time to expand your arsenal with quality support. The model’s brushless motor comes powered by two 4.0Ah batteries, giving you the power to clear a 21-inch wide path while chucking the unwanted snow up to 35 feet away. The batteries are rated to give you enough charge to clear out an 8-car driveway that is coated with up to 8 inches of snow on a single charge. It features a steel auger that breaks through thicker ice, with a variable speed control for comfortable handling – plus, there are two bright LED headlights for visibility during jobs in low-lighting hours.

If you want some solid snow-clearing equipment that is on the smaller (and cheaper) side, Amazon is also offering the EGO Power+ Multi-Head Shovel Snow Blower Kit for $349, down from $399. This tool provides a 12-inch wide clearing with the battery giving you enough life to clear out a 4-car driveway that is covered in up to 6 inches of snow – tossing it up to 25 feet out of the way. What’s best is that this package is an exclusive part of the Multi-Head system that allows for interchangeable attachments for various jobs, saving you time and space over having individual tools. If you already have the Power Head, you can find just the snow blower attachment discounted at $159. And for all the snow-clearing options that EGO Power+ provides, head to the landing page here to browse it all in full.

Greenworks 3000 PSI electric pressure washer combo kit

Save $280 on Greenworks’ Pro-tier 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer combo kit at $399 for today only

Through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit for $399 shipped. Normally going for $679 at full price, it’s mostly kept to its MSRP throughout 2024, with savings occasionally coming in the form of longer-term discounts while mostly appearing as part of these one-day sales. It did drop to the $310 low back at the start of the year, but that discount hasn’t reappeared, with the months since seeing drops between $349 and $449. Today, you can score it for your arsenal at a solid 41% discount that saves you $280 off its going rate – $89 above the elusive all-time low. You won’t currently find this combo kit at Amazon either.

This pro-tier Greenworks electric pressure washer arrives with a 14A Trubrushless motor housed within a heavy-duty mobile frame and delivers up to 3,000 PSI of grime-clearing power at up to a 2.0 GPM flow rate. Alongside the onboard storage for the 25 feet of non-marring hose and five nozzle attachments, there’s also a one-gallon detergent tank for extra cleaning support too. As this is a combo kit, you’ll also be receiving an additional short gun kit, microfiber mitts, and a 15-inch surface cleaner to really maximize its potential. If you aren’t concerned with getting the additional gear, Best Buy also has the standard pressure washer package down from $450 to $300.

Genesis wants a bigger slice of the US luxury market with new EVs en route

Genesis wants a bigger slice of the US luxury market with new EVs en route

Genesis-US-luxury-EV

If you haven’t noticed, Genesis is quickly making a name for itself in the US. The luxury automaker now has 60 sales outlets as it expands into new US states. With new EVs launching, Genesis is eyeing a bigger share of the US luxury market.

Hyundai Motor Group’s Genesis brand is quietly emerging as a powerhouse in the US luxury market. Genesis marked its entry into the luxury segment in 2008 as a Hyundai-branded model.

In 2015, Hyundai announced Genesis would become an independent luxury brand. Since launching its first vehicle in the US, the luxury brand’s sales have surged from 7,000 in 2016 to over 69,000 last year. It even outsold Nissan’s Infiniti.

According to Genesis, this is just the start. The Korean luxury brand wants an even bigger slice of the market as it eyes rivals like Porsche.

A big reason behind the brand’s confidence is its new lineup of stylishly electric models. Genesis sells three EVs in the US: The GV60, Electrified G80, and Electrified GV70.

After introducing the Electrified GV70 just last year, the electric SUV is already Genesis’ top-selling EV in the US. According to Kelley Blue Book, Genesis sold 2,343 electric GV70 models in the US through September.

Genesis eyes a bigger share of the US luxury market

Altogether, the luxury brand’s EV sales reached over 4,600 through the first nine months of 2024, topping Porsche (4,291) and Volvo (3,644).

Genesis made a statement at the LA Auto Show, unveiling the updated 2026 Electrified GV70. The luxury electric SUV now includes more range and an NACS port so drivers can charge at Tesla Superchargers. It will go on sale in the first half of 2025.

Meanwhile, Genesis showcased its new GV60 Magma Concept at the event, its first dedicated high-performance EV. The brand sees its Magma performance brand rivaling that of Geman luxury brands like Mercedes AMG, BMW M, and Audi RS.

The Genesis GV60 Magma EV will launch next year, spearheading the brand’s “expansion into the realm of high-performance vehicles.”

Genesis enhanced the battery and motor while fine-tuning the chassis, thermodynamics, and profile for more power and efficiency.

It also features an aggressive new design, sitting much lower and wider than the current GV60 model. Genesis added a Magma-exclusive sound system to give it a sports car-like feel in the cockpit.

In April, we got our first look at the G80 EV Magma concept, which could be a potential challenger to Tesla’s Model S Plaid and the Porsche Taycan GT Turbo.

The luxury brand is expected to launch its flagship electric three-row SUV next year, the GV90. Genesis previewed the ultra-luxury EV in March after unveiling the Neolun concept.

Genesis now has 60 sales bases in the US, with new stores in Washington, Minnesota, New York, and Florida. It’s also building 30 in Canada as it expands its presence in the North American luxury market.

The luxury brand is opening a new dedicated design center in California. The “Genesis Design California” will open in the first half of 2025 as it builds out its US network.

No, BYD is not taking over NIO as fake rumors claim

No, BYD is not taking over NIO as fake rumors claim

A rumor spreading like wildfire on social media claims BYD will be taking over NIO (NYSE: NIO) as the EV giant gobbles up market share in China. The rumor was posted by a suspected BYD employee, but NIO is denying the claim.

BYD acquiring NIO would be a massive move as China’s leading EV maker continues to dominate the market. But that’s not going to happen.

According to CnEVPost, NIO’s assistant vice president for branding and communications, Ma Lin, denied the rumors that BYD is taking over the company on Friday.

Ma posted a screenshot on social media asking BYD’s general manager of branding and PR, Li Yunfei if the person who posted the fake rumor was an employee.

Earlier today, the suspected employee claimed BYD and NIO were setting up a joint venture. In a Weibo post, the suspect said BYD would have majority control of the partnership with a 51% share while NIO would get the remaining 49% ownership.

Ma told Li that if it was, in fact, a BYD employee, he needed to issue an official clarification and apologize. If not, they can get the police involved together. Li also denied the rumors, saying the claim was seriously untrue.

NIO denies rumors that BYD is taking over the company

This is not the first time rumors surfaced that BYD will be taking over NIO, but because it is a suspected employee, the post has garnered more attention.

BYD is on a major hiring spree as it ramps up production to meet the higher demand. The EV giant now has over 900,000 employees, making it by far the largest A-share listed company in China.

After selling over 500,000 vehicles for the first time in a single month in October, BYD’s surge is heating up as the EV giant expands overseas for growth.

October was BYD’s fifth consecutive record sales month as it closes in on auto leaders like Ford in global deliveries.

NIO is also gaining momentum, with sales topping the 20,000 mark for the sixth straight month in October. With output of its new lower-priced Onvo L60 electric SUV ramping up, NIO expects to continue seeing higher demand.

Ma said on Friday that NIO’s “recent situation is quite good.” The company’s head of PR added, “Cash flow turned positive in the third quarter, gross profit improved in October, earning an extra RMB 100 million, and Onvo (deliveries) will exceed 10,000 in December.”

NIO is launching its third brand, Firefly, with deliveries kicking off in the first half of 2025. The company expects sales to double next year as it works to become profitable by 2026.

Hyundai recalls more than 145,000 EVs

Hyundai-IONIQ-6-upgrade

Hyundai Motors is recalling 145,235 EVs and other “electrified” vehicles in the US, citing concerns about a loss of driving power, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday.

The NHTSA announced this morning that the recall affects selected IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 EVs, as well as certain luxury Genesis models, including the GV60, GV70, and G80 electrified variants, from the 2022-2025 model years, Reuters reported.

It looks like the issue stems from “the integrated charging control units in these vehicles, which may become damaged and fail to charge the 12-volt battery. This malfunction could lead to a complete loss of drive power, posing safety risks for drivers,” the NHTSA stated.

If you’re an owner of one of these Hyundai models dating 2022-2025, stay tuned. Hyundai has not yet provided a timeline as to when affected vehicles will be repaired.

To make that happen, the company’s dealers will inspect and replace the charging unit and its fuse if necessary, NHTSA said. Free of charge, of course.

Importantly, no crashes, injuries, fatalities, or fires due to this issue have been reported in the US, Hyundai reported.
