They won’t do well on your local trails, but for zipping around city streets on something that’s easier to maneuver and take onto a bus or train than an electric bike, it’s hard to beat an electric scooter. Good e-scooters can have similar top speeds and ranges as their larger-wheeled siblings, all at a lower price. And that’s even if you don’t find a big discount like the one Walmart just took on this electric scooter.
The iScooter 500W Electric Scooter is on sale for $140 at Walmart, 53% off its normal $300 price tag. This price is good on the model that tops out at 19 mph. One that goes up to 21 mph is also discounted, down to $189, if that’s more your speed.
53% OffLooking at this scooter, it’s hard to find something it doesn’t do well. That 19 mph top speed is great for local roads, and it’s not like you’d take a scooter on the highway anyways. The 7.8Ah battery, which charges in roughly five hours, has a range of 15 to 21 miles. There’s a rear drum brake and handlebar electronic brake. This scooter is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminium, so it weighs just 26 pounds, with a load capacity of 264 pounds. And because it also folds down to a compact size (19.3 by 17.7 by 43.3 inches), it’s easy to carry as needed. Rounding things out are an LED screen, app connectivity, 8.5-inch pneumatic tires, and both head and tail lights for safety.
One shopper wrote that “the battery life is great” on this scooter — you “can ride for hours and still have a charge.” The overall “quality and price was also great.”
Other customers agreed, calling this “reliable” scooter “surprisingly easy to use” and celebrating its “amazing quality.”
