Top Discounted E-Scooters for Spring: Expert Picks and Deals

Gear editor Julian Chokkattu, who has dedicated five years to testing over 45 electric scooters, shares his top recommendations that are currently available at discounted prices. Among his favorites is the Apollo Go, now priced at $849, offering a $450 discount. This scooter is praised for its powerful and smooth riding experience, attributed to its dual 350-watt motors and robust front and rear suspensions. Although its maximum speed is 28 miles per hour, which is not the fastest on the market, it provides a satisfactory range. Chokkattu, who is notably tall, managed to travel 15 miles on a single charge at 15 mph. Additional features that enhance the Apollo Go's appeal include turn signals, a dot display, a bell, a headlight, and an LED strip for increased visibility.

Another standout model is the Apollo Phantom 2.0, available for $2,099, reflecting a significant $900 discount. This scooter is capable of reaching speeds up to 44 mph, powered by its dual 1,750-watt motors. It boasts a striking design with 11-inch self-healing tubeless tires and a dual-spring suspension system, ensuring a smooth ride. However, its impressive power comes with a trade-off in weight, as it is the heaviest electric scooter Chokkattu has tested, weighing in at 102 pounds. Therefore, it is recommended for individuals who do not need to carry it up stairs or have a garage for storage.

These discounted scooters offer a range of features and capabilities, catering to different needs and preferences. Whether prioritizing speed, power, or convenience, these models provide options for those looking to invest in a new electric scooter this spring.
