Over the summer, Walmart has been the best place to get a bargain e-bike. The retailer has marked down all kinds of electric models—including all-terrain e-bikes, cruiser e-bikes, lightweight commuter e-bikes, and even e-scooters—by up to 74%, and they’ve been flying off the shelves. Now, one of Walmart’s most popular models has been slashed by more than $1,100 and even comes with free shipping.
The Gocio Folding E-Bike is currently on sale for just $500 at Walmart — a notable 69% discount off its regular $1,600 price tag. This e-bike is currently the retailer’s No. 1 best-selling model, but that’s no surprise — it’s racked up more than 350 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it’s “a great bike for beginners.” It’s available in three great colors — black and red or orange and white and red — but we’ve seen certain colors sell out before.

This folding e-bike is equipped with a 500W brushless motor, dual shock absorbers, and chunky tires that allow you to ride comfortably anywhere, including trails. It has five riding modes, including pedal assist and throttle, and a full charge will give you a range of up to 50 miles when using the first one. It has multiple safety features built in, like front and rear lights and dual disc brakes, and it offers the convenience of an LCD screen and adjustable seat and handlebar heights. But its most useful feature is that it folds completely, thanks to a hinge on the crossbar, making it very easy to pack in a trunk.
This foldable e-bike is said by users to be more durable than it looks online. “Unparalleled capability and performance,” said one buyer. “This 500W electric mountain bike is a beast. The 26-inch tires provide excellent traction, and the dual suspension absorbs bumps and shocks for a smooth ride. The 21-speed gears let me find the perfect cadence for any situation.”

Many shoppers also loved how easy it was to fold. “Super practical,” one shopper noted. “This foldable mountain bike is one of the most practical electric bikes I’ve ever ridden. The motor is powerful, the battery lasts a long time, and it folds up easily enough to fit in the boot of a car.” Another shopper agreed. “It folds up quickly and easily, and doesn’t take up much space.”
If you’re looking for a great e-bike at an unbeatable price, there’s nothing sweeter than the deal on the Gocio Folding E-Bike at Walmart. But make sure you buy it now because one color is sold out and the rest are sure to follow.
