Gotrax's XR Elite Max e-scooter makes a great entry-level commuter with 18-mile range at $359 (Reg. $450)

Amazon is offering the Gotrax XR Elite Max Electric Scooter for $359 shipped. Normally going for $450, discounts have been frequently bringing costs down throughout the year, often to $377 or higher, though we have spied a few occasional deals that went as low as $355. Today you can score it at a 20% markdown, giving you $91 in savings and landing it down among its lowest Amazon prices – just $24 above the all-time low from over the summer.

While the Gotrax XR Elite Max doesn’t sport any fancy bells and whistles, for its affordable price you’ll be able to get a reliable commuter that can max out at 20 MPH top speeds (which is rare for entry-level scooters like this) and carry you up to 18 miles on a single charge, giving urban residents plenty of go to get around the city. On top of the foldable design that is expected of most e-scooters and the unexpected brake light functionality, there are two different gears/riding modes, with gear 1 providing a 15.5 MPH speed at 18 miles, while gear 2 maxes out the speed at a lesser 14-mile travel distance.

If you’re wanting to shop around for scooters, a good place to start is by browsing Segway’s ongoing Halloween sale that is taking up to 60% off its EVs and will be ending November 2. You’ll find more discounted EVs (with plenty of e-bike options) in our Green Deals hub, but a bunch will be ending either tonight or in the coming days so don’t wait too long.
