An electric scooter might be best suited for use from spring to fall, but that only means now is a good time to find them on sale. With now being the off-season and Amazon bursting with deals in the final hours of Christmas shopping, loads of e-scooters are showing discounts, and many are up to 40% off.

This Roinside e-scooter features a 350-watt brushless motor and can propel you at speeds up to 19 mph and distances up to 21 miles. It rides on solid 8.5-inch tires, so you’ll never have to worry about getting flats, and its folding design makes it easy to transport, store in a closet, or carry when you reach your destination.
The LED display on the handlebars shows you your speed and battery life at a glance, and using the accompanying app, you can adjust the scooter’s settings for a customized ride experience. The scooter includes three ride modes, Eco, Drive, and Sport, to maximize range or speed.
It also has some really helpful safety features, including front and rear lights, brake lights, and powerful regenerative braking (it’ll slow you down and help recharge the battery, too).
What Shoppers Are Saying
Reviewers have been impressed with the scooter’s overall performance and rock-solid build quality—a surprise to some who expected a flimsy product at this affordable price point. “It’s fast, stable, and handles all kinds of terrain without issues,” one shopper said. “Highly recommend if you want something reliable, well-built, and actually enjoyable to ride.”
Another agreed, calling the scooter “so easy to ride and fun,” and another reviewer considered the Roinside to be the best in its class, calling it the “best budget-friendly scooter.” That’s high praise, especially considering there are lots of models available at this price point.
Big discounts on top-rated scooters don’t usually last long on Amazon, so act fast: Scoop your Roinside Electric Scooter for 35% off before the price jumps back up (or Amazon runs out of stock).
