E-bikes were some of the fastest-moving products during Walmart's recent Holiday Deals Event. Shoppers flocked to the retailer's site to take advantage of deep discounts on fat-tire e-bikes, commuter e-bikes and even some electric scooters, but none were more enticing than Gocio's Foldable E-Bike. Gocio offered one of the best deals during the sale, and even though it's over, the brand is still offering a significant discount for those who missed it and it still ships for free.
The Gocio Foldable E-Bike is still available at Walmart for just $500; that's a notable 69% discount off the regular $1,600 price tag. This e-bike is currently the retailer's #1 best-selling model, but that's no surprise; It has nearly 400 five-star reviews from shoppers who say it's “the perfect bike for beginners” and that “the power level is insane.” It's available in three great colours: red with black or orange, and then red with white – but we've seen certain colors sell out before.

This folding e-bike is equipped with a 500W brushless motor, dual shock absorbers, and thick 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 up to 50 miles of range when using the first. It has plenty of built-in safety features, such as front and rear lights and dual disc brakes, and offers the convenience of an LCD display and adjustable seat and handlebar heights. However, its most useful feature is that it is completely foldable thanks to the hinge on the crossbar, making it extremely easy to put it in the trunk.
Those who have used this foldable e-bike say it is harder than it looks online. “Unmatched capability and performance,” said one customer. “This 500W electric mountain bike is an absolute beast. The 26-inch tires provide excellent traction and the dual suspension absorbs bumps and shocks for a smooth ride. The 21-speed gears allow me to find the perfect pace for any situation.”

Many shoppers also loved how easy it was to fold. “Super practical,” one customer said. “This foldable mountain bike is one of the most practical electric bikes I've ever ridden. Its motor is powerful, its battery lasts a long time, and it folds up easily enough to fit in the trunk of a car.” Another customer agreed with this opinion: “It folds quickly and easily and does not take up much space.”
If you're looking for a great e-bike at an unbeatable price, there can't be sweeter deals than the Gocio Foldable E-Bike at Walmart. But make sure you get this ASAP because it's already sold out in one color and the rest are sure to follow.
