Closing out this week’s Green Deals is a $500 discount on Tenways’ CGO600 Pro belt-drive e-bike that is down at a $1,399 low and also has a few ways to score some bonus savings. We’ve also got a bunch of lingering Prime Day deals like Bluetti’s AC180 Portable Power Station that comes bundled with a 200W solar panel at a new $779 low, as well as several other models/bundles still remaining at their recent low prices. Next, you can score $304 off UGREEN’s PowerRoam 1200 Portable Power Station at $495, or save up to 50% on a whole collection of Greenworks tools, including a 40V 19-inch cordless electric mower that comes with a 5.0Ah/50kmAh power bank battery for $240, among others. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s first-time Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 bundle discount and the Hangover Prime Big Deal Days hub, which still has a significant amount of leftover deals that are still lingering and worth a look before they’re gone.
