Why We Love This Deal
There are lots of ways to get to work without having to turn on the car. You can take a long-range e-bike, carpool with friends, or even just walk, but many commuters have found riding e-scooters to be tremendously convenient. Electric scooters are lighter than bikes and much easier to store, but what’s even better news is that one of Walmart’s bestselling models is over 50% off right now.
The Aovopro ESBS 500W Commuter Electric Scooter is on sale for as low as $287. This version usually costs $599 and has a battery life that supports travel up to 28 miles. Alternatively, you can spend a little bit more on the model with the larger battery (usually $699) that can travel up to 50 miles. Altogether, the bikes have over 1,00 five-star ratings and are selling rapidly while they’re on sale.

The Aovopro ESBS is a sit-down electric scooter with an adjustable seat and handlebars placed at a level ideal for sitters. It has a 9-inch scooter platform for your feet, uses 14-inch wheels, and has a small carry basket behind the seat.
By default, the scooter travels around 15.5 MPH, but you can push it up to 22 MPH at full throttle. The entire scooter is only 47 inches long, making it perfect for storage in your garage or utility room and portability if you want to pop it in the trunk and take it somewhere.
We’d also recommend picking up one of Walmart’s 3- or 4-year protection plans. If anything happens to your e-scooter and a local mechanic isn’t able to fix it, you’ll be covered for most of what could go wrong.

What Shoppers Are Saying
For most who have brought this e-scooter home, it’s all about having a good time. “They are fun to ride, sturdy, and quiet,” one shopper said. “We ride around our neighborhood, and we also take them in the car to other areas, like the beach, to ride on the sand.”
Another, who described the Aovopro ESBS as a “campground scooter,” reviewed the e-scooter’s abilities for vacation. “It works well, good on uneven pavement, and works okay on roads with a slight grade.” They added that it “seems to hold a charge for a good amount of time, but performance is affected a bit as the charge decreases, which is expected.”
If you want to get this long-distance commuter e-scooter starting at $287, you should pick yours up now. This is a Walmart Flash Deal, so it is likely to end by the end of the week.
