If you’re not zipping around town on an electric scooter, you’re missing out. E-scooters are faster than walking and a lot less sweaty in the summer months. They’re also much easier to park and store, and miles cheaper to operate than cars. What's even better is that Walmart has already started marking some down ahead of its big deals event, including this beloved e-scooter that's $440 less than its normal price.
The Hovermax 500W Electric Scooter is normally $800, but you can get one for $360 right now. That’s a 55% discount on a scooter that’s earned over 650 five-star ratings and reviews that call it “fast, reliable, and convenient,” “heavy duty,” and “easy to ride.” This price is valid on both of the colorways this scooter comes in, black and white, but we should note that the latter has already sold out.
Hovermax 500W Electric Scooter, $360 (was $800) at Walmart
This scooter has a 500-watt motor that has a top speed of 19 mph and a range, at lower speeds, of 22 miles. It also has 10-inch honeycomb solid tires and real shock absorbers for a smooth ride, and it folds up so it’s easy to store and carry if need be. There are three driving modes—eco, standard, and sport—and an actually useful app. It connects to the scooter via Bluetooth and allows you to switch driving modes, lock the scooter, and monitor the status of the scooter at any time.
One customer wrote that this scooter “came pretty much totally assembled” with a charged battery to boot. “I was concerned about how it would handle the hills in our area, but it does great. It averages about 18 mph with an adult on it, and the battery life is great.” They added that it’s “compact and light enough for me to pick up and throw in the back of my car.”
Another reviewer wrote that this scooter “has exceeded my expectations in almost every way,” from “impressive acceleration” to “quick and hassle-free charging” to the “smooth ride” the tires and shock absorbers deliver. “If you’re looking for a fast, reliable, and portable electric scooter for daily commuting or trips around town, this is a great option.”
The Hovermax 500W Electric Scooter is worth considering at full price, but with a 55% discount, it’s close to a must-buy for anyone in the market for an e-scooter. If that’s you, we’d recommend getting one ASAP. The white is already sold out, as we mentioned, and there’s no guarantee that the black option or this discount will last through the holiday weekend.
