After its meteoric rise in the global auto industry last year, the Chinese EV giant is off to a hot start in 2025.

Among the lineup, there’s the DELTA 2 Solar Generator bundle that comes with an expansion battery and two 110W solar panels down at a $1,049 low, among many others. We also spotted Lectric’s one-day-only April Fools flash sale that isn’t joking around as its XP 3.0 e-bikes lead a bunch of price cuts and changed-up bundle packages at new $899 and $1,099 lows. Lastly, EGO is continuing its Power+ savings event with its EGO POWER+ 56V 15-inch String Trimmer that comes with a 2.5Ah battery at $159, along with plenty more lawn care solutions at discounted rates. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s new low price on the NIU BQi-C3 Pro e-bike, the $400 discount on Segway’s latest Max G3 e-scooter, and more.
