It should be no surprise that we’re closing out the week with another great lineup of Black Friday Green Deals. Leading the official sales is the exclusive discount our readers are getting on the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra Home-Backup Station at a new $4,230 low. Coming up right behind it we have Velotric’s early Black Friday changeup that is adding two more e-bikes to the savings event while also offering an “add three, get 30% off” promotion for accessories – all starting at $1,099. We’ve also got two weekend flash sales, the first being several Anker SOLIX solar generator and home-backup bundles at new low prices and starting from $1,399. The other is a second chance at Heybike’s Ranger S Folding e-bike for $999, as well as some price reductions. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s long-awaited Rad Power Black Friday sale that has increased savings up to $700 on new and old e-bikes alike, and more.
