2024's Black Friday electric scooter deals are coming to a gradual stop, kind of like when the battery gives out and you sputter to a halt. That isn't to say you can't get good discounts, though. The sale may have ended in an official capacity, but many of its reductions have been relabelled as 'Cyber Monday' savings. In other words, there's still time to score a bargain.
Regardless of whether you want something cheap and cheerful to get you from A to B or a more powerful premium option that'll leave everyone in your dust, there's something to suit you in this year's Black Friday electric scooter deals. In fact, the majority of discounts are still live... if not better than they were before due to the addition of some cheeky coupons at Amazon. However, it's not a bad idea to strike sooner than later because there's no guarantee stock will hang around much longer.
With that in mind, the GamesRadar+ team and I are rounding up the very best price cuts here. You'll also find some advice further down the page on how to take advantage of this year's Black Friday electric scooter deals.

What to expect from Black Friday electric scooter deals
There are plenty of wheels on the market now, and with extra competition comes some particularly low prices in the Holiday sales as everyone tries to one-up each other. That was certainly the case last year, so we're expecting great things in 2024.
No matter what your requirements are (be it mileage, battery life, max weight, portability, or something else), there is bound to be something for you in the November sale. We say this from experience; in 2023, premium models, cheap scooters, and everything in between enjoyed a reduction. The already-affordable iScooter i9 hit its lowest ever price by $25 or so, for example, while premium models including the Niu KQi3 Max reached a record low as well.
The Niu KQi3 Max is arguably one of the better electric scooters on the market right now
These offers were available from retailers like Amazon to manufacturers' own stores, so we anticipate the same being true in 2024. And while Best Buy and the rest are unmatched in terms of variety, those manufacturers normally have them beat in terms of sheer value. They usually provide the most enticing price cuts, so if there's a particular brand you prefer (Segway, for instance), watch out for the official site.
As for what you should keep a particular eye out for, a premium model by the same company we mentioned earlier (Niu) called the KQi3 Pro is arguably one of the better electric scooters on the market right now. Because it got a modest but eye-catching reduction last year, we've got our fingers crossed for a bigger one in 2024.
What should you look for in an electric scooter?
Choosing the right model for you is going to be essential in finding the best Black Friday electric scooter deals. You can spend some serious cash on these rollers, but if you're spending above your needs that's going to be wasted. Similarly, splashing too little can see you lumped with a set of wheels that can't hack your routine. The two main factors you should consider first are max speed and max range. A scooter battery can only take you so far, after all.
In general, the majority of scooters under $300 / £300 can max out at around 15mph for 10 miles, boosting up to $500 / £500 will extend things to up to 20 miles while keeping a similar speed, and premium models reaching past this point will generally hit 20mph speeds for between 20 and 26 miles.
Consider your route too - speed is one thing but acceleration and hill-climbing is another
You will also need to check the weight limit of your chosen scooter. Generally, most rides can take between 200lb and 300lb of weight, but there are options over that scale as well. It's important to factor backpacks into this equation as well.
Consider your route too - speed is one thing but acceleration and hill-climbing is another. The majority of cheaper electric scooters will only come packed with a 250W motor, which likely won't see you up the steepest of inclines. If you're going to be powering up hills, we'd recommend looking at models with 300W of power or more. Similarly, a bumpy road may be your nemesis if you don't take a look at your tyres. Pneumatic wheels are falling down the price scale quickly these days, offering a smoother ride for far less cash than we were seeing just last year. Rubber tyres are even cheaper still, but you will need feel those potholes all the more.
