E-bikes are no longer just specialty items. They’ve skyrocketed in popularity over the last few years, and even retailers like REI now offer select models. The only downside is that they’re still expensive, often reaching and exceeding $1,000. Electric scooters are also becoming more common, but they’re much more affordable than bicycles while offering a similar ride and are much easier to store. If you’re looking for new wheels, you’re in luck: One of Walmart’s best-selling e-scooters has just received a major price cut, and it’s cheaper than you might expect.
The Kistp 550W Electric Scooter is now on sale for just $359 at Walmart — a whopping 70% off its regular retail price of $1,200. This foldable electric scooter is trending higher at Walmart due to this limited-time sale, and it’s now a top 10 model out of the 250+ models available on the site. It’s received over 50 five-star ratings from happy shoppers who say it’s “easy to put together” and its chunky tires “go hard” on a variety of terrain.

This e-scooter supports up to 265 pounds and offers plenty of comfort, performance, and convenience. It has a wide and well-cushioned adjustable seat, rubberized handlebars, and room for your feet on the grippy deck or retractable footrests. It’s powered by a 36-volt battery and 550-watt motor, and can reach a top speed of 18.6 mph for up to 20 miles. The 12-inch tires cushion the impact and provide a smooth ride, while front and rear disc brakes make it easy to stop in an instant. But the highlight of this scooter is its storage capacity: It has a built-in rear basket and a large, removable center basket that can fit everything from corgis to groceries.
Shoppers love this e-scooter for a variety of reasons, but many are shocked by the incredible value it offers. “I wasn’t expecting this much quality for the price,” one shopper said. “I’m really shocked—it’s a great scooter.” Another shopper agreed, saying, “Best investment I’ve made in years…the whole family is enjoying this awesome ride for an incredible price!”

Others love how easy and fun it is to ride. “Great scooter,” one shopper exclaimed. “Great for short trips to the store, around town, to parks, and just overall fun to ride!” Another shopper raved about the baskets, saying, “My favorite thing about this scooter is the two baskets…completely solved the problem I had with other models, which was insufficient storage or difficulty securing cargo.”
