E-scooters aren't just toys that kids use to whip up and down suburban streets—they're fully-fledged commuter tools that make getting around town easier. They're also a lot more convenient to store than e-bikes when you're not using them, with many models having folding capabilities. They're not always cheap, but right now, Amazon has a screaming deal on an electric scooter with a ton of power, and it's over $200 off the normal price.
The Volpam Electric Scooter is now on sale on Amazon for $239—48% off its normal price of $459. This compact and foldable e-scooter has earned nearly 1,000 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers who say it's the "best bang for your buck" and that the "folding mechanism is a game changer" for portability.
Volpam Electric Scooter in Grey, $239 (was $459) on Amazon

This e-scooter has a 350-watt motor and can move at speeds of up to 19 mph depending on road surface conditions and weight load. It's rated to carry up to 264 pounds despite only weighing about 34 pounds itself and can get a range of up to 20 miles on a single charge. Unlike e-bikes, e-scooters are wonderfully portable, and this model folds right up when not in use thanks to a hinge at the base of the handle. It's equipped with features like an LED screen that displays speed and battery, headlights and tail lights for safe night riding, and both front and rear brakes. It also has great shock absorption thanks to its honeycomb-design tires.
Shoppers who have used Volpam's electric scooter say it's one of the easiest ways to commute in the city. "I got this scooter to take me 3.5 miles to and from work four times a day," a shopper began. "Battery has lasted the entire trip and I charge at home at the end of the day. Smooth riding through the city of Chicago, and it locks, so you don’t have to worry about someone riding off with it if you have to make a quick stop."
Others just enjoy riding it because it's fun. "I gotta tell you…It’s fun," a shopper said. "Back to childhood for me." Another shopper agreed, saying, "I like how long the battery lasts and how fun it is for the whole family—great way to get around and easy to use."
Though chillier weather might be settling in, many are still looking for easier ways to commute around town, and there's no more convenient way to get up and go quickly than with the help of an e-scooter like this one from Volpam. At more than $200 off, it's an incredible deal, but the price isn't guaranteed to stick around so pick yours up soon.
