Why You Can Trust CNET Cyber Monday 2019: Best deals on e-bikes, electric scooters and rideable tech
Wheel into holiday savings with these slick, street-ready electric and self-balancing rides.
Razor scooters are yesterday's news. The latest in personal transport is battery-powered e-bikes, electric scooters and other rideable tech. We've tested many different versions (and almost got killed in the process). Now that Black Friday is in the rearview mirror, here are the weekend and Cyber Monday deals that will get you out of your car and onto new rideable tech.
2020 Holiday Gift Picks
We got to test ride this over the summer and really liked it. Not only is the Radrunner on sale but you can find most of the Rad Power Bikes on sale for $200 off and for returning customers 25% off on all accessories. The sale is good while supplies last, both online and at its Seattle-based stores.
The Boosted Rev packs a lot of power and accelerates faster than most scooters on the market. Not only that, but it's a smooth ride. Right now the Rev, along with all Boosted products, are 25% off while supplies last.
When we tested the Swagtron EB5, it proved to be a very practical bike, especially for those with limited storage space. For this full 15% off you need to add two codes at checkout. The code SHOP2019 will give you 10% off and GIVING-IS-SWAG will give you an additional 5% -- and Swagtron will donate 5% to the Toys for Tots charity drive. These codes should stack, but YMMV.
The Mercane Widewheel has the power, with two 500-watt motors, but it can also go the distance -- over 20 miles on a charge. This scooter, along with the company's Mantis, Wolf and Horizon models, are all on sale.
Fluid FreeRide has teamed up with Trees for the Future as part of a go-green initiative. For every deal sold they will plant 100 trees.
This is one of the most beautiful scooters on the market, with a blend of looks, power and a 24-pound carbon-fiber body.
When I reached out to inquire about any Black Friday deals, Unagi created one for CNET readers. Buy one Unagi E450 and get the other 50% off with the code CNETHOLIDAY at checkout. But you have to have two scooters in the cart.
A scooter we have in-house but have yet to fully test is the Levy Electric scooter. From what we've seen so far we can definitely appreciate its removable battery that can be charged on or off the scooter, as well as its modest price of $499 and reasonable weight of 27 pounds.
Add the Levy scooter to your cart along with either a lock or helmet and use the code cnetspecial for a $35 discount.
Still one of my favorites, the Onewheel XR+ is on sale for Black Friday, buy it now and you can save $175. The Onewheel Pint is also on sale and is currently $75 off. You can also find some deals on bundles and accessories.
There's a sale going on at Juiced Bikes website, if you enter the code MERRY100 you will receive $100 off. This code works on the entire Juiced Bikes lineup.
This hip-looking scooter is $300 off, but if you're looking for something even cheaper, the non-motorized kids' version is a steal at $99,
We got to test ride the Allant+ 9.9S, and it was a dream to ride. Weighing just over 50 pounds, this carbon bike glides either with or without pedal assistance. In addition to the Allant+ the entire Trek lineup is on sale at Trek.com
