I've been riding and reviewing electric scooters for nearly a decade — these are the 7 Prime Day deals I recommend

I gave the Segway C2 Lite to the neighborhood kids, and they all loved it — as did their parents — which is why it's at the top of our list of the best electric scooter for kids. Right now, it's on sale for 34% off, which is the lowest I can remember seeing it.

This model isn't on sale, but it's at a very affordable price, so I thought I'd highlight it here. The NIU 100F is very similar to the NIU 100P I reviewed (and named the greatest cheap scooter); the difference is that this model has collapsible handlebars, which makes it a lot easier to store and carry on trains and busses. The handlebars also have turn signals, so oncoming traffic can know which way you're headed.

The Hiboy S2 SE is basically a newer version of the Hiboy S2, which was one of my favorite budget scooter picks. It's not going to win any awards for speed or power, but it's a very capable model for those who want something light and cheap, and don't have many hills to climb. It has a 350W motor and a max range of 22 miles. Plus, the SE has a bunch of fun LEDS around the deck

When I reviewed the Segway E3 Pro, I called it "one of the best scooters for everyday commuters" due to its winning combination of price and performance. It has a top speed of 20 MPH; its 400W motor is good for most hills; and its range of between 17.5 and 34 miles means you won't have to recharge it every day. Right now, it's $70 off — not bad since it just went on sale last fall.

I haven't personally reviewed this model, but GoTrax makes capable and economical — if not spectacular —scooters. The G6 has an excellent advertised range of 48 miles and a top speed of 20 MPH. It has 9-inch pneumatic tires and a 500-watt motor, as well as LED headlight, taillight, and LED strips along the sides. It's a bit hefty at 51 pounds, but par for the course for a scooter with this range.

Need a scooter that can go the distance? This model has an excellent range of up to 50 miles, and has a top speed of 28 MPH. My Segway Ninebot Kickscooter Max G3 review also praised its powerful motor and built-in turn signals. It even supports Apple Find My, if you ever forget where you’ve parked it. Just note that it's rather heavy, weighing 53.5 pounds.

Back when my garage was full of scooters, I often turned to the Apollo City when commuting, as it's fast enough to keep up with traffic and powerful enough to get me up the steepest hills. It also has turn signals both in the handlebars and in the deck. It's not cheap, but you can currently get it for $500 off.
