All work and no play makes Reinette a dull girl – that’s why today’s Green Deals are mostly about play with a little bit of “work” to balance out the scales. Headlining these deals is Rad Power’s summer sale that is taking up to $400 off e-bikes and 20% off premium add-on accessories, with the RadRover 6 Plus e-bike once more leading the charge at $1,199. It is joined by the return of the NIU BQi-C3 Pro e-bike at a new $1,299 low, as well as two one-day deals on useful Greenworks and Worx tools – and going down further to our links, you’ll find a separate one-day deal on the Apollo 2023 Air Electric Scooter at $799. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals that are still alive and well.

Rad Power’s summer sale takes up to $400 off e-bikes and 20% off premium add-on accessories

Rad Power’s flash sale has slid into a summer sale that is running through June 23, taking up to $400 off three of the brand’s popular e-bike models and also throwing in a 20% off discount on premium accessories. Back leading the pack of offerings with the biggest deal is the RadRover 6 Plus e-bike for $1,199 shipped. Normally fetching $1,599 since the company lowered prices back in January, this model has been at the head of the last three sales with the biggest price cuts, with Memorial Day sales seeing the biggest drop to the $1,099 low during Memorial Day sales (if you don’t count the pricing error that had it at $999 for the first day). It’s back again today as an extended 25% markdown, returning it back to the second-lowest price we have tracked. You can learn more below or check out our hands-on review over.

Carrying the mantle of Rad Power’s “beast of a bike,” the RadRover 6 Plus hits 20 MPH top speeds for up to 45 miles on a single charge thanks to its 750W brushless geared hub motor working in tandem with the semi-integrated 672Wh battery. Equipped with a 12-magnet cadence sensor, this e-bike has five levels of pedal assistance to choose from, accessible through the full digital display that also gives you real-time performance data like battery levels or a wattage meter to keep track of the motor’s output. Should you journey off the beaten paths, this model is prepared for the adventure with its water-resistant connectors and wiring harness, as well as a pair of 26-inch by 4-inch puncture-resistant fat tires with fenders over each.

One of Rad Power’s most popular models – and my personal favorite amongst the lineup – is the RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike that is currently available for $1,599, down from $1,799. This model hits the same 20 MPH top speeds with the same five levels of pedal assistance but with a travel range of 45 to 90 miles on a single charge (its doubled with the purchase of an extra battery). Other notable features include custom 22-inch by 3-inch tires, fenders for both tires, a water-resistant wiring harness, a 200-lumen headlight, an integrated taillight with brake light functionality, an integrated rear storage rack, and a backlit LCD display – plus it even has a USB port to charge your devices while riding.

The last model in this sale is the classic RadRunner 2 Utility e-bike that is seeing a $200 price cut to $1,199. Sporting the same motor and battery sizes as the above models, it shouldn’t surprise you that it hits the same top speeds as well, however, it only has four levels of pedal assistance and a good 50-mile travel range. It comes stocked with a rear-mounted cargo rack, puncture-resistant fat tires, a standard LED headlight, an integrated taillight with both brake light and flash mode capabilities, and a simplified control panel for charge levels and pedal assistance settings.

NIU BQi-C3 Pro e-bike within post for Rad Power summer sale

NIU’s BQi-C3 Pro e-bike hits new $1,299 low

Best Buy is now offering the NIU BQi-C3 Pro e-bike for $1,299 shipped. Regularly $2,200, we’ve seen four previous one-day sales on this particular model since the new year began, with the first being a drop to $1,500 on Valentine’s Day, followed by two in April and one at the top of May that saw the price fall further to the former $1,300 low. Today’s deal takes it a little further as a $901 markdown that beats our three previous mentions by $1 and carves out a new all-time low. You can learn more about this e-bike by heading below the fold or by reading through our hands-on review.

The NIU BQI-C3 Pro comes in three colorways to choose from, equipped with a 750W peak-rated rear hub motor alongside dual 48V 10.0Ah batteries that propel the bike up to 28 MPH for up to 90 miles on a single charge. It fully recharges from empty in just five hours, and settings can be monitored and controlled via the companion app thanks to NIU’s smart control technology that has been carried over to this model from its popular lines of electric scooters. It also comes with plenty of extra features that enhance the riding experience like a kickstand, the integrated rear cargo rack, fenders for both wheels, an LED headlight and taillight, puncture-resistant tires, internally routed wiring, IP65 waterproof rating for the motor, IP67 waterproof rating for the battery, and a 3.5-inch TFT color display that gives you real-time readouts of both individual battery levels, distance, travel times, speed, and more.

Greenworks 80V 26-inch cordless electric hedge trimmer within post for Rad Power summer sale

Greenworks 80V 26-inch cordless hedge trimmer hits $175 low, Worx 20V Cube vacuum hits $90 in 1-day sales

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering two one-day sales on a pair of useful electric tools, with the main feature being the Greenworks 80V 26-inch Cordless Electric Hedge Trimmer for $174.99 shipped. Usually going for $250, this deal comes in for today only as a solid $75 markdown off the going rate that matches its previous one-day sale from March and returns to the lowest price we have tracked. Equipped with a 2.0Ah battery that provides up to 60 minutes of continuous runtime on a single charge, this hedge trimmer is designed with efficiency and comfort. Its 180-degree rotating rear handle allows for easier and safer trimming at multiple angles while the 26-inch dual-action blades provide a 3/4-inch cutting capacity, able to hit 3,200 strokes per minute.

There second of these one-day tool deals is on the WORX 20V Power Share Cordless Electric Cube Vacuum for $90 shipped, down from $120. This compact vacuum is a handy and ultra-portable on-the-go device that comes from the company’s Power Share family, meaning its battery is compatible with 75+ other Worx 20V, 40V, and 80V tools – and vice-versa. It has two different speed settings to tackle various needs, a flexible and retractable 4-foot hose alongside a crevice nozzle for those harder-to-reach and deeper-to-clean spots, plus a one-touch easy-empty 6 ounce dry debris tank. It delivers approximately half the power of a standard upright vacuum, but at only 1/6th the size, intended more for specific tasks like emergency cleanups, car interior details, or office cleaning sweeps.
