Evercross 500-Watt Electric Scooter for Adults, $250 (was $500) at Walmart

Why do shoppers love it?

This Evercross electric scooter is powered by a 500-watt brushless motor and a long-lasting rechargeable battery, letting you travel at speeds up to 19 miles per hour under ideal road conditions. It's got a range of 22 miles or so, with a maximum weight capacity of 230 pounds, depending on factors like the weather and the rider.

Using the Evercross Pro companion app with your smartphone via Bluetooth, you can monitor your speed, mileage traveled, and adjust the various modes and speeds available: eco mode, standard, and sport riding. Just be sure to look at these stats when you're stopped and not actively driving. 

You can also set the scooter to lock mode with the app, which prevents the wheels from turning for added theft prevention. The 10-inch wheels are supported by rear dual-shock absorbers, an electronic brake, and a disc brake.

"This scooter is awesome. Perfect for getting around the neighborhood," said one reviewer. "It doesn't go too fast, which I prefer, so it's much safer for daredevil teenagers. But don't fret — it's fun for adults, too. It's not loud, and the app support is a nice bonus."
