HiBoy Foldable Electric Scooter Is Practically a Steal Now as Best Buy Clears Out Top Deals
When it comes to city-living, there's a number of ways you can get around. You've got the subways, maybe call an Uber or a cab, or perhaps even get yourself a bike. There's always walking, but that can take forever. The best option that's often forgotten is staring right in front of you—an electric scooter. Cruise around town like six times as fast as you can walk with the HiBoy electric scooter. Right now, Best Buy has it for $200 off (-40%). That brings it down from its usual price of $500 to just $300 for a limited time. See at Best Buy Perfect for city life, you can commute to and from work on the HiBoy electric scooter. You can cruise along up to a max speed of 19 mph (I'd like to see you even try to walk that fast) and the scooter folds up so you can carry it easily when going inside or transferring onto a train or bus. Plus, that makes it easy to store in a small apartment. The scooter itself weights 31.7 pounds and has a maximum carrying capacity of 220 pounds. Not only are they just plain fun to ride, an electric scooter is a terrific way to help reduce your carbon footprint. On a single charge, you'll be able to reach an operating range of over 17 miles from your starting point. If you need to commute further than that, I'd probably recommend a car anyway.
