With springtime growing nearer, it’s time to consider removing gas and oil from your weekly lawn routine. The biggest user of fossil fuels in many yard care setups is the lawn mower. Right now, you can pick up a Greenworks electric lawn mower from just $160. A stand-out deal here is the PRO 60V 17-inch brushless model that’s down to $253 from its normal $350 going rate, as well. We also have a wide selection of Tesla, Greenworks, and other e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today, more on why going electric for your yard tools like the mower on sale is important, 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.
