Electric Bikes for only $398
Walmart is having a huge sale right now on some of their electric bikes.
Their regular price on these is $648 (already much cheaper than many other electric bikes retailing for over $1k+). At $250 off, we are talking about a discount of about 40%!
Go to Walmart.com and search for the following models:
Hyper Bicycles E-Ride Electric Pedal Assist Mountain Bike, 26in MTB, Black
Hyper Bicycles E-Ride Electric Pedal Assist Commuter Bike, 700C Wheels, Blue
Hyper Bicycles E-Ride Electric Pedal Assist Commuter Bike, 700C Wheels, Black
To be clear, these are full-size adult bikes sold and shipped directly by Walmart, not just some random third-party seller. This means you can have more confidence in the quality of these bikes.
As electric bikes go, they look very attractive if that kind of thing is important to you.
And as I’m writing this, there are over 470 reviews and most of them are overwhelmingly positive.
Th range of these bikes on a full charge is about 20 miles, which should be enough for local commuting and errands.
One thing to keep in mind is the max weight limit of 275 pounds. Also, the bikes are meant for heights between 5’2″ – 5’10”.
In other words, the bikes will be suitable for the majority of people but if you are too tall or too heavy, unfortunately that means it’s a no go for you (pun intended).
There’s no question that you can find better quality bikes elsewhere but the value proposition won’t be the same. There are competing electric bike makers like Rad Power Bikes as well as traditional bike companies like Trek that have entered this space and manufacture amazing e-bikes. However, those bikes cost hundreds and thousands of dollars more.
If you are testing the waters (very risky when it comes to electricity) or are just trying out biking as a hobby or as a new year’s resolution, then budget bikes like these are a good start.
