Exclusive $200 discounts on VMAX R40/R55 Pro full-suspension electric scooters start from $899 low

We’ve got a pair of 9to5toys-exclusive Green Deals for folks today, with Wellbots offering two VMAX e-scooters at $200 off, giving folks a chance at some quality commuting solutions at discounted rates. The first of the two is the VMAX R40 Pro Electric Scooter for $899 shipped, after using the promo code 9TO5VMAX200 at checkout. Normally priced at $1,099 here and direct from VMAX, we haven’t tracked any recent discounts since the brand hit our radar, with today bringing a solid $200 price cut that lands it down at the lowest price we can find anywhere.

The VMAX R40 Pro Electric Scooter arrives onto the scene with an equipped 1000W motor (peaking at 1,600W) and a 48V 13,000mAh battery that tops out at speeds of 25 MPH while carrying you up to 28 miles on a single charge – plus, any inclines up to 28% will be no concern of yours. Your mileage will also be extended thanks to the inclusion of regenerative braking from the rear brake on top of the front disc brakes to provide stopping power. There’s a full suspension system here too, which is nice to see on an e-scooter, with off-road tubeless tires supporting a more stable and comfortable ride. The frame sports a typical folding design and includes a 60-lux headlight, brake lights on the back, an IPX5 water-resistance rating, a wider footboard with a footrest, and a 4-inch TFT color display.

The second model benefitting from this deal is the VMAX R55 Pro Dual-Motor Electric Scooter for $1,299 shipped, after using the promo code 9TO5VMAX200 at checkout. An upgraded version of the above model, this one has been given 1,050W dual-motors that peak at a monstrous 3,200W (to conquer 40% inclines) alongside a larger 48V 18,200mAh battery, with an increased 40-mile travel range and three different speed settings that correspond to its single or dual-motor modes: 12 MPH, 25 MPH, and 34 MPH. Alongside the full-suspension build and 10-inch tubeless tires, its regenerative disc brakes have been expanded to the front and the back of the scooter. It features the same headlight, brake lights, IPX5 resistance rating, footboard, footrest, and 4-inch TFT color display, as well.

Anker’s new SOLIX C300 AC 90,000mAh portable power station hits $200 Amazon low

Through its official Amazon storefront, Anker is offering folks another chance to score its new SOLIX C300 AC 90,000mAh Portable Power Station at $199.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $50 off coupon. Since first hitting the market back at the end of August, it’s been dipping down from its $250 price tag with discounts direct from Anker, while Amazon has previously only seen it go as low as $210. The last time we saw this same rate was back during its first post-launch discounts for a short period, but now it is returning today at the best rate we have tracked on the Amazon marketplace and the second-best overall rate that sits just $10 above its pre-order pricing. Plus, it currently beats out the price direct from Anker, which is sitting at a higher $220 rate.

Anker’s SOLIX C300 AC model delivers a 90,000mAh capacity to cover your on-the-go charging needs while also running smaller appliances with a 600W max power output. There are three included AC ports on this model, as opposed to its counterpart DC model that mainly focuses on USB needs, with three USB-C ports, a single USB-A port, and a 120W auxiliary/car port. Unlike the DC model, this one doesn’t offer dual-recharging capabilities but does reach similar speeds when plugged into a standard wall outlet, along with solar charging options. It’s a bit easier to carry thanks to the integrated handle on top, and includes a light bar above the display screen for nighttime support, especially great for when you’re in the dark at a campsite.

If you’d prefer the DC model to focus on your personal devices alone, Amazon has dropped it down to $170, after clipping the on-page $30 off coupon. This model offers boosted self-recharging speeds with its two bidirectional 140W USB-C ports being used together to hit 280W. Sharing most of the other qualities with its above sibling, it offers a 120W auxiliary/car port, two USB-A ports, and four USB-C ports – two of which are 140W ports, one being a 100W port, and the last one hitting 15W. It also sports a pop-up LED light in place of the carrying handle with multiple brightness levels. If you’re instead still wanting something smaller, I recommend checking out the PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh predecessor that is currently sitting at $120.

AeroGarden’s 9-plant Bounty Elite indoor hydroponic system falls to new $191 low

Amazon is offering the best rate we’ve seen on the AeroGarden Bounty Elite Indoor Hydroponic System at $190.51 shipped. Normally sitting at its $260 price tag most of the time, we have tracked very few discounts on this model since 2024 began, all of them keeping above $221. We did see it fall lower to its former $195 low last year during Black Friday sales, but that price is being usurped here today with a larger 27% markdown that cuts $69 off the tag and lands it at a new all-time low price.

Coming in far larger than the usual models that see more frequent discounts, the Bounty Elite arrives ready to give you your favorite vegetables, herbs, and flowers without needing soil – all at your fingertips and within the convenience of your home. Utilizing a spacious grow deck and water bowl design, it provides up to nine plants the chance to grow up to 24 inches “5x quicker than an outdoor garden.”

It sports a 50W adjustable LED grow light to accomplish this task, with a built-in automatic timer to better mimic the natural path of the sun at exactly the right times. Its full array of controls can be accessed via the touchscreen display or through the companion app when connected by Wi-Fi, and will even remind you when to add more water or plant food to keep growth progressing at a proper pace. You can also hook it up to your Alexa to go hands-free with voice control features too.

Prep your firewood with the Greenworks 40V 14-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw at new $140 low

Amazon is prepping folks for autumn and winter firewood collection by dropping the Greenworks 40V 14-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw to $139.99 shipped. Normally fetching $200 most days, for the first three months of 2024 we saw steadily increasing discounts from $180 down to $160 before things slowed and spent the next four months keeping mostly to its MSRP. August saw things finally fall lower to $151, which held out as the lowest price until today’s 30% markdown that lands it at a new all-time low.

The colder months are moving in and you know what that means for plenty of folks – the need for firewood! Whether you’re utilizing a fire pit for outdoor gatherings or cozying up indoors, you’ll likely need a means to cut and collect firewood and this Greenworks model comes ready to tackle the job. It’s equipped with a 14-inch bar and chain and comes powered by a 2.5Ah battery that lets you make 50 to 75 cuts per charge. The TruBrushless motor ensures “2x more torque,” while the automatic oiler keeps everything lubricated and running, with a push button start to toss out the pain of fighting with starter cords. You’ll also receive a fast charger and a scabbard with your purchase.

Jackery’s Explorer 290 Portable Power Station delivers on-the-go backup at new $160 low

There are plenty of great Green Deals in Best Buy’s Deals of the Day, with the Jackery Explorer 290 Portable Power Station dropping lower than ever to $159.99 shipped for the rest of the day. Usually priced at $250 most of the time, it ended 2023 at $190 from Black Friday and Christmas sales just to be immediately beaten out by the former $180 low in January, which repeated a handful of times across the months since. Today though, we’re looking at a better deal than we’ve ever seen, as it receives a one-day $90 markdown that beats our previous mention/low by $20 and carves out a place as the new lowest price we have tracked. You won’t find this model direct from Jackery or in new condition at Amazon either, only this refurbished option that is currently down at $125.

An ideal companion for those in need of on-the-go backup power for their devices, Jackery’s Explorer 290 weighs in at just 9.6 pounds, making it compact enough to easily carry along by its integrated handle or by stowing it away inside a backpack or tote. It provides a 290Wh capacity as well as 200W of power output that surges to 400W. It offers three ways to recharge itself – plugged into an AC outlet, solar charging, or connected to a car port – often taking five to seven hours on average depending on the method you choose. You’ll be able to charge up to four of your devices at once with its one AC port, two USB-A ports, and the car port.

Worx’s 600 CFM TRIVAC Blower, Vac, and Mulcher comes with universal collection system and bag for $110

Courtesy of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Worx 12A TRIVAC 3-in-1 Blower, Mulcher, and Vacuum for $109.99 shipped. Normally priced at $160, with a higher $200 MSRP direct from Worx, we haven’t seen prices fall as low as in previous years, though we have been seeing frequent discounts on this newer model that have taken costs as low as $95 in 2024, so far. It’s coming in today with a solid $50 markdown that lands it at the second-lowest price we’ve seen this year – sitting $38 above the $72 all-time low from early 2023. One thing to note here is that this bundle also includes the collection system attachment that is usually sold separately or added to the main device in place of the collection bag – but you get both options here for no added cost!

An updated version of the WG509 model we usually see benefitting from the most discounts, this WG524 TRIVAC from Worx delivers the same 3-in-1 functionality with increased power to tackle the annoying chore of gathering leaves and debris from your yard. It provides an increased 600 CFM of blower force (up from the WG509’s 350 CFM), and can also collect and mulch it all into the complimentary bag (up to 1.2-bushels) or use the included bonus attachment to have it dumped straight into a trashcan/bin of your choice. Keep in mind that this is a corded model, which means you can just plug and go rather than wait for a battery to fill back up first.

Murf’s new accessory sale kits out your e-bike at up to 25% off: Racks, baskets, seats, koozies, trailers, more

Murf Electric Bikes has launched a 4-day Buy More Save More sale through September 29 that is offering up to 25% off e-bike accessories when buying two or more together. At the moment, the only e-bike that is currently seeing a discount is the Fat Murf Step-Thru e-bike which is still benefitting from a massive $1,000 price cut down to $1,995 from Labor Day sales, with deals far more sparse from this brand. That being said, this accessory sale does offer some solid savings to folks who may already own one of Murf’s e-bikes or are considering buying one. You’ll find quality accessories like a rear rack package at $85, or maybe you want to add a front basket to your bike for $95? There’s smaller stuff like the Koozie cup holder at $40, as well as larger add-ons like the e-bike trailer that goes for $395, and plenty more too.

If you’re interested in the Fat Murf ST e-bike, you can read back through our Labor Day coverage to get a full rundown on the e-bike and its capabilities. We don’t often see many big price cuts like the one that’s been holding strong on this model, so it’s worth considering if you’re a fan of the brand. It offers some decent commuting support too, with a 25 MPH max speed, and a travel distance that ranges from 30 miles when using only its electric action with the throttle and 50 miles when utilizing its five levels of pedal assistance. There are also some quality features here that are worth learning about in full, like the hydraulic brakes.

In terms of how this sale works, it’s pretty simple. A list of over 30 add-on accessories can be found on the landing page here, with Murf even providing a countdown clock so you can keep track of its approaching end along with these stipulations:
