E-bikes are changing the way people get around the city, but they're also becoming more expensive. Luckily, Walmart cuts prices on its best-selling foldable bikes, fat-tire bikes, and even some e-scooters with seats by up to 70%, making them more affordable than almost any other retailer. Recently, Walmart slashed the price of one of its popular electric mountain bikes by more than $1,000, and it even ships for free.
The Totguard 500W Electric Mountain Bike is currently available for as low as $502; that's a 69% discount off the regular $1,600 price tag. These durable bikes have more than 100 five-star reviews from Walmart customers who say they “ride great” in both manual and mechanical modes. Unlike many e-bikes, this one is available in a variety of colors, and although there are price ranges, none currently cost more than $518.

This mountain e-bike is equipped with a 21-speed Shimano shifter and a powerful 500-watt motor that can propel it to speeds of up to 35.6 mph. It is powered by a 48-volt 10Ah battery that can reach 65 miles of range on a single charge, depending on driving conditions and driving mode, and can recharge in just 5 hours. Surprisingly, it weighs only 49.6 pounds; This is a bit lighter for a bike like this and is still rated for a 300-pound load capacity. The manual bike can be used in three riding modes, including pedal assist and pure throttle, and its 27.5-inch tires are suitable for riding on pavement, sand, dirt and even snow. It has an LCD display that shows battery level, speed, and distance traveled, and Totguard has even included a font headlamp for comfortable night riding.
Shoppers were excited to see how much value was added to this affordable e-bike. “Overall, a really nice, affordable e-bike for city/trail riding,” one customer said. “I've already ridden over 150 miles on city streets, paved bike trails and some gravel trails. It rides great.” Another shopper agreed, saying: “This bike offers excellent value for money and is well-suited for both daily commuting and recreational riding.”

Others were impressed with this e-bike's power and range. “The pedal assist system is great,” said one customer. “I was able to ride 30 miles yesterday and still have three of the six battery indicator lights on… There's an added feature where holding the minus button activates 'walk' mode, allowing the bike to cruise at around 4.3 mph until you brake.” “
