Walking is a great way to spend time outside, but it can be a lousy way to get around, especially in the summer heat. Luckily, walking has become largely optional thanks to the electric scooter, a fun and practical means of mobility. If you’re ready to try one out, Amazon has a top-selling, well-reviewed model from Volpam that's nearly half off for a limited time.
The Volpam 350W Folding Electric Scooter is just $200, 46% off its $369 list price just ahead of summer. It's earned more than 100 five-star ratings, and customers have said it has “exceptional battery life,” is built “incredibly sturdy,” and is “super fun” to ride around town. There are six models with varying specifications, but the 8.5-inch (off the ground), 350-watt model has the best discount and, we think, will do the trick for most people.

The 350W brushless motor is powered by a 280Wh battery that only takes 4 hours to charge fully. This scooter can reach a top speed of 19 mph and has a range of 21 miles, though factors like rider weight and road conditions might bump those numbers down a bit. There’s a dual braking system—drum brake in the rear, electronic ABS in the front—along with bright headlights and red taillights for safety. This scooter weighs just 33 pounds and folds down with the press of a button, so it’s easy to carry indoors once you’ve arrived at your destination.
One customer wrote that this scooter is “quick to accelerate, handles well, and the brakes are responsive and smooth.” They called the build quality “solid” and wrote that “it feels really sturdy, even when riding over rougher pavement.” At the end of a ride, “I also appreciate how portable it is—folds up easily and fits in the trunk of my car.” Overall, it’s “great for commuting short distances or just having fun around the neighborhood.”
Another reviewer called this scooter an “amazing value,” something that’s even more true given its current discount. They like that “it folds up so easily for storage, and the dual braking adds an extra layer of safety” to a scooter that provides “a smooth, comfortable ride.”
A Volpam 350W Electric Scooter is a faster, less sweaty way to get around town. For $200, it’s worth trying as a way to get to work, run errands, or just meander around the neighborhood. Don’t miss out on the fun (or this price) and pick one up today.
