Looking for an alternate means of transportation? Prime Day is a great chance to score a deal on one of the best electric scooters from some of the major brands like Segway and NIU. 

But, there are a lot of crappy scooters on the market, so I've gone through the list of scooters I've tested to pull together this list of deals on models that make the cut. For example, the NIU KQi Air is now $949 at Best Buy, a savings of $400 off what I consider the best scooter overall. 

I've highlighted a few other picks below at varying prices, so take a look if you're in the market for a new electric scooter.

An excellent choice for commuters, the Segway Ninebot Kick Scooter E2 Plus is on sale for $299 at Amazon. Its 350W motor can reach a top speed of 15.5 mph, so it's not the most powerful, but could be a good option for teens. However, one of its most fun features is its set of RGB lights under the footboard — it lets you light up the night with a full rainbow of beautiful colors. Note: this has sold for $279 in the past.

Of all the scooters in my garage, this one has turned out to be my go-to when commuting, as it's fast enough to keep up with traffic, powerful enough to get me up the steepest hills, and it has turn signals both in the handlebars and in the deck.
