E-scooters are becoming increasingly popular among city commuters, college students, and families looking to get around faster and just enjoy themselves, but they're not known for being cheap. Thankfully, Walmart has been cutting down prices on some of its most popular electric scooters and e-bikes, with certain models seeing discounts of up to 70% off their normal prices. Now, the retailer has dropped the price of this foldable e-scooter by more than $700—and it even ships for free.
The Kistp 550W Foldable E-Scooter is on sale for only $340 at Walmart right now—69% off its normal price of $1,100. This commuter-style scooter has earned over 150 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it's the "perfect" choice for first-time scooter riders looking to zip around town. It comes in two colors—blue and black—and both are on sale for the same price.
This folding electric scooter has a max load capacity of 265 pounds and a 550-watt motor that tops out at around 18.6mph, depending on what it's carrying. It uses a 36-volt battery that can get up to 20 miles of range and will charge from dead to full capacity in 5 hours. It is equipped with an LED dashboard that showcases current speed and remaining battery life as well as front and rear disc brakes and front and rear lights, but what stands out the most is its extra-wide deck, which offers 9.5 inches across for easy foot placement.
Shoppers say it's a great electric scooter to learn the ropes on. "This was pretty much my first time riding an e-scooter and I had a blast," a shopper said. "They are extremely easy to use…This one feels so sturdy and solidly constructed that I would definitely say it is worth the money." Another shopper agreed, saying, "It's a really good first scooter to commute around on…It's good quality and it's quite strong."
Others say it's a great option for daily commuting, especially on campus. "Great for my college kid," a shopper said. "He can say goodbye to those $300 parking permit fees every semester." Another commuter said, "I've been using it daily for commutes and can safely say, in this case, you get more than what you pay for. The performance is next level!"
Whether you're trying to get to work or just looking to have fun on the weekends, Kistp's foldable e-scooter is a top choice for convenience and power. And, at just $340, it's a fantastic buy. Get one in your cart soon, though, because we're not sure when the discount will end.
