Kicking off this week’s Green Deals are two big sales events from two of our favorite brands, with the first being EcoFlow’s Spring Sale that is seeing up to 59% being taken off power station units, like the DELTA 2 Portable Power Station that comes with two 100W solar panels and an 800W alternator charger for a new $854 low – as well as offering extra savings, free gear, and more. Right behind it is Lectric’s Spring Forward sale that has up to $762 in free gear accompanying e-bike purchases, with a fully-loaded package ($762 value) on the XPedition 2.0 26Ah Dual-Battery Cargo e-bike at $1,799, among others. We also spotted Segway’s Navimow H Series Robot Lawn Mowers getting $600 off once more and starting from their $1,299 low, as well as the return of Anker’s PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh Power Bank Station to $90, but this time without the limited Lightning deal stock. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals from last week are in the links at the bottom of the page, rounded up in our Electrified Weekly coverage from over the weekend.. Read more…
