Walmart's summer discounts have been melting prices on high-ticket items like home gyms , backyard sheds , and even chainsaws .

At first glance, the iScooter i8L looks pretty much the same as every other electric scooter on the market, but there are a few key differences. For one, it feels sturdier to ride thanks to a taller and wider design than other scooters. It also offers great battery performance with 12% kinetic energy recovery while braking and one-touch folding for easy carrying indoors upon arriving at your destination. It's also equipped with a display panel that shows speed and battery life and has several safety lights in the front and back that ensure visibility when riding in the dark.

One reviewer called this scooter "the perfect travel friend" because it has "quite a long battery life and is rather light and easy to carry." And those wary of buying an electric scooter, particularly one online at a price this good, will like the 12-month warranty that's part of what they call the "whole gratification" of owning this scooter.

Riding an iScooter i8L Electric Scooter is a greener way of getting around town that's exploding in popularity. At this price, it qualifies as a semi-impulsive purchase that promises fun and novelty with a chance for real lifestyle improvement. But this deal surely won't last long, so if you're ready to try an electric scooter we'd recommend picking this one up ASAP.
