For sheer variety and steepness of discounts, Walmart’s Black Friday sale is hard to beat. There are chances to save on everything from massage guns to power stations, but the most fun and practical item we’ve found is this electric scooter that's well over half off and makes an incredible gift for any fun-spirited person (even if that's you).
The iScooter 350W Electric Scooter is on sale for just $230 thanks to a special on-page coupon that activates when you sign into your Walmart account, which brings the total discount up to 62% off its typical $600 price tag. For that paltry sum, you get an electric scooter that tops out at 15.6 mph and has a range of up to 18 miles. It’s not made for long journeys, but reviewers say it’s a “great option for alternative transportation” because it’s “compact, fast, simple” and “rides smoothly yet is powerful.”
The best thing about this foldable e-scooter is the price. The second best thing is how easy it is to use and own. It has a throttle, a hand brake, and a kickstand, and it folds down quickly for compact storage. There’s a clear display that shows speed and cruise control, and it also comes with front and rear lights, ABS brakes for safety, and 85-inch tires for a smooth ride. The battery itself even recovers 12% of kinetic power when braking, a clever way to go further on a single charge.

One satisfied customer wrote that this scooter “was exactly what I wanted it to be.” They continued: “It got up inclines, it got me where I wanted to go quickly, and the battery lasted long enough to get anywhere that I needed to be and back.” It all adds up to a “great buy” for anyone who needs to get around town, particularly if they're maneuvering around a busy city or simply don’t want a change from driving.
The magnitude of the discount and the sheer shock of seeing a sub-$250 electric vehicle means the iScooter 350W Electric Scooter is primed to fly off of shelves this Black Friday. We’d recommend snagging one today if you’re interested, particularly if you live somewhere with a climate temperate enough for winter rides.
