Why We Love This Deal
Electric mopeds and scooters are having a bit of a moment right now. Chief among the reasons for their popularity is that they're just plain fun to zip around on. Aside from that, these scooters are speedy and reliable enough to use as a means of conveyance, especially if your daily commute is within a few miles of home. They're also not terribly expensive—Amazon's bestseller, for example, is under $150.
The $260 Volpam Q1 Electric Scooter is on sale on Amazon for just $144, which is the perfect price for anyone looking to dip their toes into the world of scooters. For short commutes, weekend rides, or making sure you get to class on time, there aren't many quicker ways to get around without breaking a sweat.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Scooter Height: 44 inches
- Weight: 26 pounds
- Weight Limit: 264 pounds
- Top Speed: 15 miles per hour
This scooter packs a surprising amount of speed and power in a small space. Its 350-watt motor lets this scooter run for up to 15 miles at a time, with a top speed of 19 miles per hour. Once you arrive at your destination, the scooter folds up for easy storage, whether that's under your office desk or parked by the door in your stats class.
It charges to full in as little as four hours, so you can really put it through the wringer on your way to work and on the drive back. Because it only weighs 26 pounds, it's light enough to carry short distances, especially if you slide it into a backpack or duffel bag.
You don't need any special knowledge to ride this scooter, especially with its handy LCD screen, but it may take some getting used to the speed. Of course, we highly recommend a helmet, which is not just wise but necessary in many states when you're driving a vehicle this speedy.
And while riding in a scooter without heating sounds like a dismal prospect in many parts of the country right now, considering the weather, it may be prudent to purchase this scooter now at its discounted price. That way, once warmer weather rolls around, you'll have a speedy vehicle and a little extra money in your wallet.
