Electric cars are expensive and still need to be parked, and electric bikes aren't the easiest to maneuver or least expensive option. Those titles belong to electric scooters, a small, quick, and inexpensive mode of transportation that's also quite fun. Right now, Walmart is making it even easier to try one out, as it has a well-reviewed e-scooter on sale for nearly half off.The Sanopy 250W Electric Scooter is on sale for $160 at Walmart, 48% off its normal $309 price tag. This deal is good on both a black "upgraded" model that, as far as we can tell, differs only in its more colorful deck and black and blue versions of the previous model, which have a plain black deck.Sanopy 250W Electric Scooter, $160 (was $309) at WalmartSanopy 250W Electric Scooter, $160 (was $309) at WalmartCheck PriceThis scooter weighs just 23.1 pounds, and being lightweight means it's both easy to carry when folded and efficient, as a heavier scooter would go through the 48V 500Wh battery more quickly. As things stand, this scooter has a range of up to 30 miles, and its 250W motor can conquer 15-degree inclines and go as fast as 14 mph. An electronic anti-lock brake system and mechanical rear brake work together to ensure you can stop when you need to, while an LED headlight and integrated bell make it harder for drivers to miss you. The aircraft-grade aluminium frame can support up to 220 pounds while the 6.5-inch rubber tires and front suspension ensure a smooth ride that you can monitor with the LED dashboard.AdvertisementAdvertisementRelated: Beat Traffic for Only $160 With Walmart's Foldable Electric ScooterOne shopper wrote that they bought this scooter for their 20-minute commute.
