Whether you're on the fence about buying a new car or are just looking for a less expensive commute, e-bikes are a great universal solution.

E-bikes are all about convenience and this Gocio cruiser is no different. It has a low-step frame that makes it easier for riders to get on and off and its 26-inch tires are perfect for that lower center of gravity. While riding this bike, you can go up to 19.8 miles per hour thanks to its 500-watt brushless motor and pneumatic tires that absorb the various bumps of your journey. You can ride in three modes, but in the electric assist riding mode, you can reach a max distance of 50 miles. As for the top safety features, this electric bike has front and rear mechanical brakes that promise progressive braking in any weather along with front and rear lights for better visibility when riding at night.
“This bike has worked wonderfully for me,” one reviewer said. “Assembly was super easy. I ride 8 miles to work and my battery is still at 60% when I arrive. Mind you, this is 8 miles riding through the snow, and for most of the trip, I'm on full throttle. I'm so glad I decided to go with an electric bike instead of saving for a vehicle.”
“I’m 65 years old with bad knees, and haven't ridden a bike for 40 years,” another shopper began. “I bought this to get me moving again. I was able to hop on and ride it 3 miles the first time out, including some fairly big hills…It seems to be a great bike for this old gal.”
The Gocio 500W Cruiser E-Bike won’t be over 50% off forever, especially since this is a Walmart flash deal. Get going and add it to your cart before the 52% discount disappears.
