E-bikes are on the rise and becoming common modes of transportation, but they’re also becoming more affordable. A few years ago, most mainstream models would have cost well over $1,000, but thanks to Walmart, you can now get reliable folding e-bikes, fat bikes, and even e-scooters for a fraction of that, including one of the retailer’s best-selling cruisers that just went on sale for under $500.
Currently, the Gocio 500W Cruiser E-Bike is on sale at Walmart for $516, but if you create a free Walmart account, you’ll get access to an exclusive on-site coupon worth an additional $30 off, bringing the price down to just $486—a total discount of 51% off the normal retail price of $1,000. Thanks to the extra coupon and the over 1,200 five-star reviews singing its praises, this cruiser has become one of the best-selling e-bikes on the entire site. It’s available in black, white, and silver, and even comes with free shipping—a rarity when buying bikes online.

It also comes with great extras like a rear rack, front and rear lights for safe night riding, a chain cover, and an LCD dashboard.
Shoppers who have taken this cruiser bike home say it’s great for commuting to and from work. “An efficient commuter,” said one shopper. “This e-bike has been a game changer for my daily commute.

Others say they are just a lot of fun to ride. “We used these bikes on two long paved trail rides with dog trailers when our pups were too tired to keep up,” said one buyer. “We Love these e-bikes! The e-motor performed excellently. They look and feel very good, but are a bit heavy.”
