E-bikes are no longer just specialty goods. Their popularity has rapidly grown over the past few years, and now even retailers like REI offer select models . The one downside is that they're still typically expensive, with prices often reaching and exceeding $1,000. Electric scooters are also becoming more prevalent, but they're far more affordable than bikes while offering a similar ride, and they're much easier to store. If you're looking for new wheels, you're in luck: One of Walmart's bestselling e-scooters just got a massive price cut—and it's less than you might expect.

The Kistp 550W Electric Scooter is now on sale at Walmart for only $359—a massive 70% discount on its normal retail price of $1,200. This foldable electric scooter is on the rise at Walmart because of this limited-time sale, now ranking among the top 10 models among the 250-plus available on the site. It's already earned over 50 five-star ratings from happy shoppers who say it's "easy to put together" and that the thick tires "run hard" across various terrains.

This e-scooter supports up to 265 pounds and offers much comfort, performance, and convenience. It features a large and well-cushioned adjustable seat, rubberized handlebars, and a place for your feet on the grippy deck or the retractable footrests. It's built with a 36-volt battery and a 550-watt motor and can hit a max speed of 18.6 mph for up to 20 miles. 12-inch tires both dampen impact and offer a smooth ride while the front and rear disc brakes make stopping on a dime possible. But what stands out most is this scooter's storage capacity: It has a mounted rear basket and a large detachable middle basket that can fit everything from corgis to groceries.

Shoppers are enjoying this e-scooter for many reasons, but many are shocked by the immense value it offers. "I seriously didn't expect such high quality for the price that it was," a shopper said. "I was truly shocked—it's an amazing scooter." Another shopper agreed, saying, "The best investment I've made in years…the entire family enjoys this wonderful ride that we got for an amazing price!"
