Anker SOLIX C300 power station

Featured deal: With more than 130 years in the bicycle business, Huffy is well-known across the market, especially for its large lineup of kid-friendly models. For Black Friday, the brand is providing some exclusive savings on its iconic Electric Green Machine Trike at $419, after using the promo code ELECTREKGM at checkout for 30% off. Ideal for riders aged 8+ and falling under the 180-pound max weight, it gives kids the chance to experience 15 MPH top speeds thanks to its 250W front hub motor alongside the 36V battery. This model will also grow with your child, as its seat provides three different adjustable settings to keep them safe while they tear up the pavement with plenty of spins and drifts.

Featured deal: Buzz Bicycles is bringing readers an exclusive promotion this Black Friday to save $400 on its Centris class 2 folding e-bike that drops costs to the best price of the year on top of including a free accessory – all for $799, after using the promo code ELECTREK200 at checkout. Featuring a step-thru and folding frame, you’ll enjoy cruising through the streets at 20 MPH top speeds for up to 40 miles, making it a great entry-level model for new riders as well as veteran riders seeking a more affordable option. There are two colorways here to choose from, and plenty of solid features like the 4-inch fat tires, front suspension, front and rear lighting – and even front and rear cargo racks too. Adding an electric solution to your commuter needs doesn’t have to break the bank with this deal.

Exclusive deals on Anker’s SOLIX C300 90,000mAh power stations offer $49 in free gear starting from $143

Wellbots is offering two exclusive deals on the Anker SOLIX C300 DC and AC 90,000mAh Power Stations for Black Friday, with the DC version dropping to $143.10 shipped, after using the promo code 9TO5ANKER10 at checkout, while the AC version is hitting $179.10 shipped, after using the promo code 9TO5ANKER10 at checkout. These two units normally fetch $200 and $250, respectively, with these discounts bringing costs down among the lowest prices we’ve seen – the second-lowest for the DC and a new all-time low for the AC, though the pot is sweetened here thanks to the free carry straps and USB-C cords (valued at $49) that you’ll get alongside your purchase. All-in-all, you’ll be saving $106 and $120 with these deals while they last.

The next generation of Anker’s compact and totable power stations, the SOLIX C300 units give you a solid 90,000mAh/288Wh LiFePO4 capacity to cover your on-the-go device charging needs. You’ll get up to a 300W power output with the Anker SOLIX C300 DC power station, with its recharging hitting 280W through the use of its two bi-directional 140W USB ports at once. This model also comes equipped for campsite illumination thanks to the integrated LED pop-up light. On the flip side, Anker’s SOLIX C300 AC power station tosses out the need for bi-directional charging, hitting the same 280W speeds when plugged into a wall outlet, with the same 300W output rate, and a switched out light bar on its front facing panel instead of the pop-up lighting.

AeroGarden hydroponic systems and seed pod kits

AeroGarden’s 6-plant Harvest 2.0 indoor hydroponic system hits new $45 Black Friday low

As part of its ongoing Black Friday sale, Amazon is offering the AeroGarden Harvest 2.0 Indoor Hydroponic System for $45 shipped. Normally fetching $90 at its usual full price, in 2024 we’ve been seeing it mainly stay above $80, with occasional periods of it falling lower – we spotted it hitting $50 over the summer and more recently dropping to $60 during last month’s Prime Day event. These low prices are getting beaten out here today though, with folks benefitting from the 50% off Black Friday markdown here, saving you $45 and giving you a new all-time low price – plus, it comes ahead of the brand’s inevitable disappearance come 2025.

If you weren’t aware, AeroGarden announced back in October that its doors will shut forever in 2025, so now is the best time to stock up on devices and seed pods – and at such low prices too. Tossing out the need for messy soil, this popular device allows for the growth of six veggies, herbs, or flowers up to 12 inches tall inside the grow deck, supported by its water bowl design. It’s been equipped with a 15W grow light that provides an automatic on/off timer that simulates the natural daily lighting of the sun, germinating them ”up to 5x faster than in soil” – and there’s even a nutrient reminder to add plant food and keep the growth on schedule. Along with the unit itself, you’ll also be receiving a growing starter kit that includes plant food, grow sponges, and lettuce seeds.

More AeroGarden Black Friday hydroponic system deals:

  • Sprout: $30 (Reg. $60)
    • 3-plant system
    • comes with 3-pod Gourmet Herb Seed Kit
  • Harvest Elite: $60 (Reg. $120)

Greenworks Black Friday

With its Black Friday sale in full swing, Amazon is offering up to 46% in major savings across a huge lineup of Greenworks electric lawn care solutions, like the 40V 16-inch Cordless Electric Lawn Mower for $209.99 shipped. This affordable model is coming down from its $299 price tag here, which we’ve mainly seen fall to $250 over 2024, though we did spot it hitting its $199 low back in July. Today, you’re getting the opportunity to score it with a 30% markdown that saves you $89 and lets you upgrade from your gas-guzzler at the second-lowest price we have tracked.

This electric lawn mower arrives sporting the brands brushless motor design all powered by the 4.0Ah battery, giving it a 60-minute runtime on a single charge (with recharging only taking 2 hours). It sports a five-position height adjustment to achieve the perfect adaptable cut between 1-1/4-inch and 3-3/8-inch heights while also featuring an easy-to-do push start button and a foldable frame for easier storage when its not in use. You’ll also have two options for collection while mowing – either mulching or rear bagging – which provides better versatility over single-functionality models.

Anker SOLIX C300 power station

Anker’s PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh power bank station hits new $80 low for Black Friday (Save $70)

Riding Amazon’s Black Friday sale wave, Anker’s storefront is offering its PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh Power Bank Station for $79.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $10 off coupon. Normally sitting at its $150 price tag, we saw it hit its previous lowest rate during last month’s Prime Day event, lasting for a short time before jumping back to its full price – with a secondary short-lived repeat at the tail-end of October. Thanks to the Black Friday savings train, you’re getting an even better opportunity to score it for your personal device charging needs at a combined 47% markdown, saving you $70 while scoring it at a new all-time low price.

Since it was first released during the summer of 2023, Anker’s PowerCore Reserve has been a popular companion for day-to-day charging needs with its 60,000mAh/192Wh battery on top of the 5 pound weight and compact design that slips right into your bag. It dishes out power through the two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports, with it rated to keep an iPhone 14 recharged over 10 times or a MacBook Air for up to 2.9 times. Aside from its standard wall outlet recharging, you’ll also be able to utilize solar charging here with the addition of a 60W solar panel (sold separately). One of its much-loved features is the built-in retractable light that provides two brightness levels and even an S.O.S. button to flash out though the darkness in times of emergency (which has been passed on to its descendants).

Best Black Friday e-bike deals!

Best new Green Deals landing this week

The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

Double your chances in Climate XChange's 10th Annual EV Raffle!

Climate XChange Annual EV Raffle

Climate XChange’s Annual EV Raffle is back for the 10th year running – and for the first time ever, Climate XChange has two raffle options on the table! The nonprofit has helped lucky winners custom-order their ideal EVs for the past decade. Now you have the chance to kick off your holiday season with a brand new EV for as little as $100.

About half of the raffle tickets have been sold so far for each of the raffles – you can see the live ticket count on Climate XChange’s homepage – so your odds of winning are better than ever.

But don’t wait – raffle ticket sales end on December 8!

Climate XChange is working hard to help states transition to a zero-emissions economy. Every ticket you buy supports this mission while giving you a chance to drive home your dream EV.

Here’s how Climate XChange’s 10th Annual Raffle works:

Image: Climate XChange

The Luxury Raffle

  • Grand Prize: The winner can choose any EV on the market, fully customized up to $120,000. This year, you can split the prize between two EVs if the total is $120,000 or less.
  • Taxes covered: This raffle comes with no strings – Climate XChange also pays all of the taxes.
  • Runner-up prizes: Even if you don’t win the Grand Prize, you still have a chance at the 2nd prize of $12,500 and the 3rd prize of $7,500.
  • Ticket price: $250.
  • Grand Prize Drawing: December 12, 2025.
  • Only 5,000 tickets will be sold for the Luxury Raffle.

The Mini Raffle (New for 2025)

  • Grand Prize: Choose any EV on the market, fully customized, up to $45,000. This is the perfect raffle if you’re ready to make the switch to an EV but aren’t in the market for a luxury model.
  • Taxes covered: Climate XChange pays all the taxes on the Mini Raffle, too.
  • Ticket price: $100.
  • Only 3,500 tickets will be sold for the Mini Raffle.

Why it’s worth entering

For a decade, Climate XChange has run a raffle that’s fair, transparent, and exciting. Every ticket stub is printed, and the entire drawing is live-streamed, including the loading of the raffle drum. Independent auditors also oversee the process.

Plus, your odds on the Luxury and Mini Raffles are far better than most car raffles, and they’re even better if you enter both.

Remember that only 5,000 tickets will be sold for the Luxury Raffle and only 3,500 for the Mini Raffle, and around half of the available tickets have been sold so far, so don’t miss your shot at your dream EV!

Climate XChange personally works with the winners to help them build and order their dream EVs. The winner of the Ninth Annual EV Raffle built a gorgeous storm blue Rivian R1T.

How to enter

Go to CarbonRaffle.org/Electrek before December 8 to buy your ticket. Start dreaming up your perfect EV – and know that no matter what, you’re helping accelerate the shift to clean energy.

Who is Climate XChange?

Climate XChange (CXC) is a nonpartisan nonprofit working to help states pass effective, equitable climate policies because they’re critical in accelerating the transition to a zero-emissions economy. CXC advances state climate policy through its State Climate Policy Network (SCPN) – a community of more than 15,000 advocates and policymakers – and its State Climate Policy Dashboard, a leading data platform for tracking climate action across the US.

This fun-vibes Honda Cub lookalike electric scooter is now almost half off

This fun-vibes Honda Cub lookalike electric scooter is now almost half off

csc monterey electric scooter

The CSC Monterey – one of the most charming little electric scooters on the US market – has dropped to a shockingly low $1,699, down from its original $2,899 MSRP. That’s nearly half off for a full-size, street-legal electric scooter that channels major Honda Super Cub energy, but without the gas, noise, or maintenance of the original.

CSC Motorcycles, based in Azusa, California, has a long history of importing and supporting small-format electric and gas bikes, but the Monterey has always stood out as the brand’s “fun vibes first” model. With its step-through frame, big retro headlight, slim bodywork, and upright seating position, it looks like something from a 1960s postcard – just brought into the modern era with lithium batteries and a brushless hub motor.

I had my first experience on one of these scooters back in 2021, when I reviewed the then-new model here on Electrek. I instantly fell in love with it and even got one for my dad. It now lives at his place and I think he gets just as much joy from looking at it in his garage as riding it.

You can see my review video below.

The performance is solidly moped-class, which is exactly what it’s designed for. A 2,400W rear hub motor pushes the Monterey up to a claimed 30 mph or 48 km/h (I found it really topped out at closer to 32 mph or 51 km/h), making it perfect for city streets, beach towns, and lower-speed suburban routes.

A 60V, roughly 1.6 kWh removable battery offers around 30–40 miles (48-64 km) of real-world range, depending on how aggressively you twist the throttle. It’s commuter-ready, grocery-run-ready, and campus-ready right out of the crate.

It’s also remarkably approachable. At around 181 pounds (82 kg), the Monterey is light for a sit-down scooter, making it easy to maneuver and park. There’s a small storage cubby, LED lighting, and the usual simple twist-and-go operation. And it comes with full support from CSC, a company that keeps a massive warehouse stocked with components and spare parts.

My sister has a CSC SG250 (I’m still trying to convert her to electric) and has gotten great support from them in the past, including from their mechanics walking her through carburetor questions over the phone. So I know from personal experience that CSC is a great company that stands behind its bikes.

But the real story here is the price. Scooters in this class typically hover between $2,500 and $4,500, and electric retro-style models often jump well above that.

At $1,699, the Monterey is one of the least expensive street-legal electric scooters available from a reputable US distributor, especially one that actually stocks parts and provides phone support.

If you’ve been curious about swapping a few car errands for something electric – or you just want a fun, vintage-styled runabout for getting around town – this is one of the best deals of the year.
