The official start of summer is next week, which makes now a perfect time to snag an electric scooter for warm-weather commuting, errands, campus rides, and quick trips around town. Instead of automatically grabbing the car keys for every short drive, an electric scooter gives you a fun and easy way to get outside while saving a little gas along the way. It’s also more compact than an e-bike, which can make it easier to store in an apartment, office, garage, or car trunk when you’re not riding.
With this limited-time deal we found at Walmart, you can get the Gotrax 250W Electric Scooter on sale for just $198, which is a solid $100 discount on a lightweight commuter electric scooter. This model has a 250W motor, a listed top speed of 15.5 MPH, and a 36V 5.2Ah battery with up to 12.5 miles of range per charge. It also weighs only 26.4 pounds, has an aluminum alloy frame, and folds for easier carrying and storage.
Top SellerThe feature mix makes this a good fit for casual riders and daily short-distance use. The 8.5-inch tires can help smooth out bumps better than solid tires, while the extra-wide deck, cruise control, rear disc brake, anti-lock braking system, LED headlight, and LED display all add to the commuter-friendly setup. The display shows speed, speed mode, battery life, and headlight status, so you can keep an eye on the basics while riding.
It’s not built for long-range travel or high-speed performance, but for neighborhood rides, quick errands, last-mile commuting, and summer fun, it’s a solid option with this deal.
“I’m having a blast with this,” raved one excited user. “The speed is enough to get me home in a good time and the battery life is great. It’s a lot of fun to ride!”
Another reviewer commented, “It is a very good electric scooter. It drives fast, and the assembly is easy and smooth.”
