Every electric scooter on this page is currently priced under $500, and the list updates itself as prices change. At this price you are buying a straightforward folding commuter: a single motor, a top speed around 15–20 mph, a rated range in the 10–25 mile bracket, and 8- to 10-inch tires, from brands such as Segway, Gyroor, JOYOR, iENYRID, DriveTron and Hiboy.
From 13 mph up to 28 mph.
Ranges from 11 to 40 miles on a single charge.
Or pay over time with Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay.
Free shipping to the lower 48 and 14-day returns.
A folding electric scooter for adults with a single 250–500W motor, a top speed the maker rates at roughly 15–20 mph, a 36V battery good for 10–25 miles of rated range, and a rider weight rating usually around 220–265 lb. Lights, a display and a folding stem are standard. Brakes are typically a rear disc or drum with electronic braking at the front. Weight lands in the 25–40 lb bracket, which makes these among the easiest electric scooters to carry.
Compromise on top speed and range: 15–20 mph is plenty for bike lanes and a 10–15 mile rated range covers most short commutes. Do not compromise on the rider weight rating; riding over it wears a cheap electric scooter out fast. Prefer air-filled or hybrid tires over hard solid tires if your streets are rough. If you need hills, more than 15 miles a day, or a seat, the under-$1,000 collection is the better place to look.
A cheap electric scooter is not an unsafe one, but it is a lighter one. Check tire pressure weekly on air-filled tires, keep the folding latch clean and fully locked before every ride, use the supplied charger only, and wear a helmet. See helmets and protective gear.
Every electric scooter here carries its maker’s warranty; terms and how to claim are on the warranty page. Refurbished models carry their own warranty period, shown on the product page. Keep the box for the first two weeks in case a return is needed; unused electric scooters can be returned within 14 days.
For short, flat trips and riders within the maker’s weight rating, yes. Choose by rider weight and range first; models at this price are built for commuting, not speed or hills.
The models here come from established makers with lights, brakes and rider weight ratings published. Safety mostly comes down to riding within those ratings, keeping tires and latches checked, and wearing a helmet.
The maker’s warranty, the same as any other model we sell. Terms vary by maker and are on the warranty page and each product page.
Yes. Pay in 4 through Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay splits the price into four interest-free payments. See the financing page.
