While biking can be a lot of fun, it can get tiring, and locking your bike up outside while you’re working or shopping isn’t always an option. Electric scooters have taken the world by storm because they are more compact than bikes, you can take them with you when you reach wherever you go, and, let’s be honest, you don’t have to pedal. Luckily, there’s a big sale going on at Walmart that sees a discount on the Gotrax Rival Adult Electric Scooter. The price has been knocked down to just $198 from the usual $298. That $100 in savings is pretty substantial and makes it a good option for those who might be on the fence in terms of price.
The Gotrax Rival Electric Scooter has a relatively powerful 250W motor that will give you a max speed of 15.5, which might be a bit slower depending on your weight, but otherwise, it’s a pretty solid pace, especially if you’re on pedestrian roads. The battery has a little over five amp-hours, which roughly translates to up to 12.5 miles of range that you have to work with, although that also will be affected by the quality of the road you’re on and you’re weight. It has a max weight capacity of 220 pounds.
Interestingly enough, you do get rear disc braking and EABS anti-lock, which means you won’t go flying forward if you need to break too suddenly, which is good because you likely will in your day-to-day commute. Luckily, it’s not too heavy at 26.4 pounds, so if you want to get off and carry it around, it’s relatively easy to do so compared to something bigger like a bike. You’ll also appreciate that the Rival comes with an LED display, which gives you information on your speed, battery life, and headlight.
Overall, the Gotrax Rival Electric Scooter is a pretty solid all-around electric scooter, and with the discount from Walmart that brings it down to $198, it’s a pretty good deal that’s worth grabbing. That said, if you aren’t convinced about the Gortrax Rival, you could also check out some lingering Best Buy 4th of July deals as well for some alternatives.
Few things ruin a quiet evening faster than a robot vacuum roaring through the living room. Most of us end up pausing the cleaning run, which defeats the whole purpose of owning one. Matic thinks it has the answer with its new Serene robot vacuum, and the big selling point is how little noise it makes.
The Matic Serene runs at 52 decibels even when cleaning at full power. To put that in perspective, Matic compares it to the hum of your refrigerator. It is available now for $1,695, which is $200 more than the original Matic’s current price.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.
