We have a jam-packed Green Deals to close out this week for you, starting with the extremely rare Lectric weekend price cut flash sale that is dropping all its e-bikes by $100 – plus offering up to $220 bundles on select models – all starting with the XP Lite2 JW e-bike from a $799 low. From there, Anker SOLIX has launched a 72-hour flash sale that is not only retaining the previous flash sale’s low prices, but also adding new ones, like the C1000 Gen 1 Portable Power Station with an expansion battery and water-resistant bag for a new $729 low, and many others. You can also find Autel’s AC Pro 80A Level 2 EV Charger back at $909, as well as a bunch of BougeRV camping equipment at some of their best prices, a handy pair of Worx sawhorse steals, some smart ambient lighting for outdoors and indoors, and so much more waiting for you below. And don’t forget about the hangover deals that are at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s three exclusive deals on VMAX VX2 EXTREME and VX4 e-scooters, 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 doesn’t really do old-school sales. At least not the kind most of us think of when we hear the word. Sure, North America’s largest electric bike retailer, Lectric eBikes, has tons of great deals all year round. But the seasonal sales are often value bundles where the prices remain the same, but you get a ton of great accessories thrown in. Now for a limited time though, Lectric has launched an honest-to-goodness, save-you-some-real-money sale on America’s most popular electric bikes.

Aptera Motors has announced the pricing of a new $9 million public offering, and the terms are putting significant pressure on the stock today.

Heybike is best known for affordable commuter e-bikes, fat-tire cruisers, and city-friendly rides. But the company is now stepping well outside the bike lane with something very different. Meet the Villain – a compact electric e-moto that looks and rides far more like a Sur-Ron–style light electric dirt bike than anything you’d legally call an electric bicycle.

And crucially, it does so at a price point aimed at riders who want electric dirt-bike fun without dropping full-on motorcycle money.

Earlier today, Elon Musk announced on X that Tesla had “just started Tesla Robotaxi drives in Austin with no safety monitor in the car.” Tesla’s stock immediately jumped over 4% on the news. Headlines across the financial press celebrated the milestone.

There’s just one problem: it appears to be another game of smoke and mirrors. The Robotaxi cars spotted without “safety monitor” were all being followed by a trailing black Tesla supervising the “driverless” Robotaxi.

It means Tesla didn’t “remove the safety monitor”, it just moved them to a vehicle behind them.
