E-bikes are continuing their upswing of becoming mainstream modes of transportation, but they're also becoming more affordable. A few years ago, most popular models would have cost you well over $1,000, but thanks to Walmart , you can now find reliable folding e-bikes , fat-tire e-bikes , and even e-scooters for a fraction of that, including one of the retailer's bestselling cruisers that just went on sale for less than $500.

Right now, the Gocio 500W Cruiser E-Bike is on sale for $516 at Walmart, but when you create a free Walmart account, you'll gain access to an exclusive on-page coupon worth an additional $30 off that brings the price down to just $486—a 51% total discount on the normal $1,000 retail price. Thanks to the additional coupon and the 1,200-plus five-star ratings singing its praises, this cruiser has become one of the bestselling e-bikes on the entire site . It's available in black, white, and silver, and even comes with free shipping—a rarity when buying bikes online.
