We also spotted EGO’s advanced 56V 22-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower that comes with select cut and touch drive tech and a 10.0Ah battery for $999, as well as Greenworks 80V 770 CFM Cordless Electric Leaf Blower with a 4.0Ah battery at $220.

Heybike’s carbon-fiber Hero all-terrain rear and mid-drive e-bikes get up to $600 price cuts to new lows from $2,199

As part of its ongoing anniversary celebration, Heybike is offering the biggest price cuts yet on its Hero Carbon Fiber All-Terrain e-bikes, with the 1,000W rear-hub model dropping to $2,199 shipped, while the 750W mid-drive model is down at $2,499 shipped. They’ve been given initial $300 and $500 discounts from their usual $2,599 and $3,099 price tags, with the brand automatically applying an additional $100 savings in your cart – plus, you’ll be getting a free gift pack too for some extra goodies. We’ve mostly seen these models getting $100 discounts during major sales, even during Black Friday, and very few flash offers at $200 off. It’s quite a surprise to now see them benefitting from $400/$600 markdowns, which take things lower than ever to land at new all-time low prices.

Heybike’s Hero models are the brand’s higher-end all-terrain e-bikes with carbon fiber frames, which start with a choice, depending on just what kind of environments you tend to travel through. The cheaper option is the 1,000W rear-hub model (peaks at 1,800W) that dishes out more power to tackle climbing hills and carrying heavier loads, while the 750W mid-drive model (peaks at 1,400W) moves the motor in the center of the frame for more balanced weight, as well as sporting a torque sensor over the other’s cadence sensor, providing smoother power transition and handling steep inclines. They both sport a removable 864Wh battery and hit speeds up to 35 MPH alongside up to 60 miles of travel distance with PAS activated.

Of course, for the higher prices, you’re also getting some higher-end features with Heybike’s Hero e-bikes, like the full suspension made up of a hydraulic front fork absorption and rear suspension. There are also the hydraulic disc brakes, the puncture-protected 4-inch fat tires, a 9-speed Shimano derailleur, a shock-absorbing saddle – plus, an integrated handlebar with a built-in headlight and LCD screen for setting adjustments and performance readouts, and more.

Be sure to check out the full lineup of e-bike deals while Heybike’s 4th anniversary savings last through June 6, including the cheaper off-roading models. You’ll also find many ongoing Memorial Day EV sales from our favorite brands collected together in our holiday EV hub here, with some, like Lectric’s $742 in savings, ending tomorrow night, May 31. We also have an update on Navee’s new flagship ST3 Pro Electric Scooter that has fallen even further in price (along with other Father’s Day EV offers) to $760.

Bluetti AC200L power station

Bluetti’s AC200L solar generator with two 200W panels covers camping, RVing, and more at $1,649 (Save $850)

With its Memorial Day Sale having come to a close, Bluetti is offering short-term member-only discounts (sign-up is free) on three units, as well as some additional price cuts open to anyone. Among the bunch, we spotted the AC200L Solar Generator bundle with two 200W panels for $1,649 shipped. Normally $2,499 at full price, we’ve only seen it go as low as $1,699 from the brand’s direct sales events, while the official Amazon storefront has offered it for as low as $1,598, which has most recently been appearing as supply-limited Lightning deals. After you’ve signed up for free, you can grab this station with a $850 markdown that drops the costs to the second-lowest price we have tracked, with the price also currently matching at Amazon, though you won’t get to earn points from purchases to redeem for benefits.

***A quick note: as I’ve stated, sign-up for membership is free, with multiple tiers that are achieved through purchases and unlock greater benefits as you move up. Things start at the base Starter level, moving to the Explorer level after spending $10 to $4,999. From there, you’ll reach the Pro level after spending $5,000 to $14,999, the Elite level after spending $15,000 to $29,000, and the Master level after spending $30,000 or more.

One of the brand’s higher-end models that covers campsite visits, RV trips, home backup emergencies, and more, the Bluetti AC200L power station is a well-rounded solution that starts with a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can be further expanded with additional gear. You can bump its capacity to 4,096Wh with a B230 expansion battery, 6,348Wh with two B210 batteries, or max things out at 8,192Wh with two B300 batteries. It provides a steady stream of up to 2,400W to devices and appliances (surging up to 3,600W) through its 11 output ports: four ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, one car port, one RV port, and a NEMA TT-30 port.

By plugging it into a standard wall outlet, you can regain 80% of the battery in as fast as 45 minutes, while the unit can max out at 1,200W of solar input, which would put it back at full in 1.7 to 2.2 hours, with the 400W input in the bundle taking three times as long. And, as always, you’ll have the full array of smart controls through your tablet or smartphone via the companion app.

EGO 56V 22-inch cordless self-propelled lawn mower

This 22-inch EGO cordless self-propelled mower comes with a 10.0Ah battery + select cut/touch drive tech at $999

Amazon is now offering the EGO POWER+ 56V 22-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower that comes with upgraded tech and a 10.0Ah battery at $999 shipped. Since it was released last year, we’ve almost exclusively seen it keep between $1,199 and $1,299 at Amazon all the way through most of March 2025, with some short-term falls to its $839 low peppered in over a year ago, which we haven’t seen again since. Recently, it’s been returning to $1,000 with discounts, with today’s deal taking things lower by $1, giving you $301 in savings at the second-best price we have tracked, all while giving you one of the brand’s more advanced mowing solutions.

If you want one of the best mowing options from EGO, without shelling out the money for the brand’s popular riding mowers, this 22-inch model takes quite a step up from many of its counterparts. To start, it has a cast aluminum deck over the more standard plastic ones we usually see, lending towards a much more durable build, as well as eight cutting height levels over the usual seven. It delivers up to 11.1 foot-pounds of cutting torque, with blade speeds going as high as 3,350 RPM, which outdoes plenty of gas guzzlers. The included 10.0Ah battery provides you with 70 minutes of continuous runtime on a single 60-minute charge, which you can swap out with any other batteries from the brand for extended jobs.

And its self-propulsion takes a step up with the touch drive tech here, which allows you to engage the function by simply placing your palms on the handle, complete with a convenient dial that you can scroll through for speed changes. What’s more, it comes boasting the brand’s select cut system, which allows for more customization with interchangeable lower mulching blades and a high-lift bagging blade, depending on just how much you’re tackling. The handles also conveniently fold to save you space when its not in use.

Of course, you can save a bit more by going with this more standard EGO 56V 21-Inch Cordless Push Lawn Mower that comes with a 4.0Ah battery for a new low of $357.30 shipped. You won’t have the self-propulsion here, though the lightweight body is easy to maneuver around your yard, but you will get the same folding design to help save space. It offers a cutting height range between 1.25 inches and 4 inches and delivers up to 6.0 foot-pounds of cutting torque.

greenworks 80V 770 CFM cordless leaf blower

Clear our yards and more with 770 CFM from this 80V Greenworks cordless electric leaf blower kit at $220

Amazon is currently offering the Greenworks 80V 770 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower with 4.0Ah battery for $219.99 shipped. Normally going for $300 at full price, aside from today’s deal and the $210 low we only saw pop up for Black Friday, discounts have been taking the cost down to $240 at most, which is where it’s currently priced on Greenworks’ direct site. With the deal here, you’ll be saving $80 off the going rate at the best post-Black Friday pricing we have tracked.

Weighing in at just under 11 pounds, this is a lightweight means to clear out your yards, walkways, driveways, and more – all while tossing out that noisy, fume-belching gas model. The brushless motor lends towards greater torque, efficiency, and especially quieter performance so you won’t drive your neighbors crazy at earlier or later hours in the day, with a trigger-activated variable speed control (and cruise control settings) allowing up to 770 CFM of force (180 MPH wind speeds) for clearing away unwanted debris. The battery provides you with 80 minutes of continuous runtime, and it sports the brand’s standard push-button starts so you don’t have to deal with pull strings.

You can also upgrade to Greenworks’ 40V 21-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower that comes with a 5.0Ah battery while its down at a $360 low, covering up to 1/3 acre on a single charge. There’s a collection of the brand’s new and legacy electric pressure washers down at return lows starting from $82, as well as a collection of 40V, 80V, and 82V batteries getting up to 33% discounts starting from $80.

Best Spring EV 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.

Honda is already testing a new electrified Civic: Here’s our first look

Honda is already testing a new electrified Civic: Here's our first look

Honda-Civic-new-hybrid

A new Civic is in the works that’s bringing much more than just a new look to Honda’s best-selling vehicle. Here’s our first look at the next-gen Honda Civic.

Honda previews next-gen Civic with new hybrid system

During an event held for the media on Wednesday, Honda offered a look at some of the advanced new tech it plans to roll out over the next few years.

Although it just launched the current Civic Hybrid last year, Honda is already working on its replacement. Honda didn’t confirm or deny that the Civic was under the camouflage, but it was pretty evident.

The new Civic will ride on Honda’s next-gen hybrid (HEV) platform, designed for mid-size vehicles. Honda’s new hybrid system is nearly 200 lbs (90 kg) lighter and more flexible, which it said provides “excellent fuel economy” while also improving the driving experience.

According to Car and Driver, which drove the new Civic, the interior is also getting redesigned. Honda covered most of it, but you could still see what appeared to be a larger, at least 15″ infotainment screen at the center.

Honda is keeping most powertrain details a secret for now, but the new Civic appears to have an electrified drive unit similar to those found in the Accord and CR-V.

The company said the direct-drive motor and generator motor are smaller, more efficient, and free from rare-earth materials. Honda also said the battery, located under the rear seat, is all-new. It will be used for upcoming compact and mid-size vehicles, which Honda said will help reduce costs.

As for how it drives, Car and Driver said the new Honda Civic was quick off the line thanks to its direct-drive setup. However, the test track was too smooth to really judge the ride quality.

Like the new Honda Prelude, the Civic will feature S+ Shift, which simulates gear-shifting via paddles on the steering wheel.

The prototype had exhaust pipes, but they likely won’t make it to the production model. Honda plans to launch several next-gen hybrids on the new HEV platform, starting from 2027. The next-gen Honda Accord may even arrive before the Civic, debuting on the hybrid system.

Honda said it’s also developing a next-gen platform for large-size HEVs to meet the growing demand in North America.

Using a next-gen V6 engine with extended fuel-efficient range, Honda said it aims to improve fuel efficiency by 30% compared to its current ICE vehicles. Honda’s larger HEVs will likely go on sale closer to 2028.

Honda also showcased the Super-ONE Prototype during the event, its compact EV set to launch in Japan in 2026, followed by the UK and other global markets.

Will Zero bring its new 60 MPH electric scooter to the US?

Will Zero bring its new 60 MPH electric scooter to the US?


Zero Motorcycles turned heads in Milan at EICMA 2025 with the unveiling of its new LS1 electric scooter, a sleek and practical 60 mph (100 km/h) commuter built for European city streets. With its swappable batteries, off-board charging, and smart safety tech like ABS and traction control, the LS1 is clearly a strong contender in the urban EV space. It also marks a major shift for Zero, expanding beyond full-size electric motorcycles into a more accessible, everyday format.

But will it come to the US market?

At the show I had the chance to speak with James Callahan of Zero, and he confirmed that the LS1 is not coming to the US market, at least not in its current form or in the near future. “The scooter market in the US is still very small,” Callahan explained, “so for now, we’re focused on Europe, where the demand is much higher.”

And while interest from American riders may exist, there’s another hurdle: the LS1 isn’t homologated for the US, meaning it doesn’t meet certain regulatory standards like the NHTSA’s lighting requirements. Its slick continuous LED turn signal bar would need to be redesigned entirely, among other tweaks to the design.

The LS1 comes equipped with two removable batteries that live in the floorboard and can be charged indoors using an 800W charger – or even faster with a 1,500W upgrade. A third battery can be added under the seat for extended range, while that same underseat storage area also hides a cavity large enough for a helmet or groceries.

Add in a low seat height, a short wheelbase, and user-friendly features, and you’ve got a solid commuter platform. But it’s a platform that we’re not likely to see in the US for a long time.

So while the LS1 represents an exciting new chapter for Zero in Europe, fitting with the company’s recent move out of California and into the Netherlands, don’t expect to see it zipping down US streets anytime soon.

Though it’s not all bad news for our American readers. There’s a spark of hope that Zero’s more affordable off-road electric motorcycles launched in the US market this year could be getting street-legal homologation, though not immediately. More on that soon…

Toyota’s selling cars faster than it can build them, saying it can ‘barely cover the demand’

Toyota's selling cars faster than it can build them, saying it can 'barely cover the demand'

Toyota's-selling-cars

Toyota is selling cars faster than it can build them. With strong demand for hybrids, the company says it can “barely cover the demand.”

Toyota’s hybrids fuel sales growth in 2025

After reporting its fiscal second-quarter earnings on Wednesday, Toyota raised its sales and earnings forecast for the year.

In the first half of the fiscal year, the company sold a record 5.27 million vehicles, up 105% compared to the same period in 2024. Those numbers include its luxury Lexus brand.

Toyota said “strong demand from customers around the world” led to higher sales, particularly in Japan and North America. Hybrid vehicles primarily drove growth, with higher demand in competitive markets such as North America and China.

The Japanese automaker sold 2.27 million hybrids (HEVs) in the first six months of the fiscal year 2026. Including battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), Toyota’s total “electrified” vehicles accounted for 47% of its total sales.

Toyota said the new RAV4, its best-selling vehicle globally, is carrying the growth as the first to adopt its software-defined platform, Arene.

Like most automakers, Toyota took a hit from the US auto tariffs. The company expects the 15% tariff will cost an extra 1.45 trillion yen ($9.4 billion) in the fiscal year.

Toyota expects higher sales, and cost-cutting measures will lessen the blow. It raised operating profit guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, to 3.4 trillion yen ($22 billion). That’s up from its previous guidance of 3.2 trillion yen ($20.8 billion), but still a 28% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year.

“In terms of sales, we expect a very healthy situation going forward,” Toyota’s CFO, Kenta Kon, said during a news conference with reporters on Wednesday (via Automotive News).

According to Kon, Toyota is still seeing “strong demand,” so much so that “we can barely cover the demand,” he added.

Electrek’s Take

Although hybrids are carrying the growth, Toyota’s BEV sales are still lagging. In the US, Toyota sold just 61 bZ electric SUVs in September. Through the first nine months of the year, Toyota sold just 12,264 bZs, down from 13,577 in the same period last year.

With the 2026 BZ upgrade rolling out and new EVs arriving soon, including the C-HR and bZ Woodland, Toyota’s BEV sales are expected to gain momentum over the next few months finally.

At the Japan Mobility Show, the company revealed plans for five unique brands under the Toyota Group, which it says will provide a diverse range of vehicles designed for every buyer.
