Cars are convenient, and walking is healthy, but sometimes you just need a more efficient and fun way to get around town. Electric scooters are great for shorter commutes where driving a car/calling an Uber feels a bit necessary and you’re also too tired to walk.

If you’ve been wanting to get your hands on one, the Maxshot electric scooter is now down by 34% on Amazon: This $400 scooter is now sitting at $266. The offer applies to the classic black model. It comes in several other colors, most of which are also discounted right now. Prices, however, may vary.

Multiple riding modes

It’s a foldable scooter, so it’s easy to take with you on your adventures. You can store it in your car’s trunk, or even bring it on the subway if you don’t have energy left for the ride back home.

The scooter features a 500W brushless hub motor, which offers speeds up to 22mph. The available speed modes are Walk (4mph), Eco (7mph), D (11mph), and Sport (22mph).

You’ll enjoy a smooth ride wherever you go, thanks to the 10-inch honeycomb tires paired with a built-in shock-absorbing system. It’s basically going to support you through almost all your everyday rides (to the grocery store, a nearby cafe, your school), and even handles occasional rough patches well! And speaking of rougher paths, it also has a dual braking system and non-slip deck that keep you safe when the road isn’t smooth or you’re riding through a crowded area.

If you’re a night rider, the super bright LED headlight and brake tail light are going to light up your way in the dark. Then there’s the LED digital display, which lets you view your speed stats, remaining battery, riding mode, and more with ease. Management is pretty straightforward with the smartphone app, where you can pick a mode, lock/unlock your scooter, customize the speed limit, control headlights, etc. Additionally, since the scooter is IP65 water-resistant, travelling on rainy days won’t be a problem either.

You can now enjoy all these features and more for only $266, all thanks to the 34% discount. This electric scooter offers impressive speeds, multiple riding modes to choose from, a long battery life, and a lot more. Note that the offer applies to the black model. Other colors are also available, but not all of them are currently discounted. If you’ve been wanting to pick up an electric scooter for yourself, now is a good time to grab it while also saving big.
