Electric bikes have soared in popularity as eco-friendly alternatives to a car or motorbike that can help you get around campus, run errands or even commute to work. But many models out there are still expensive, with price tags well over a grand each. If you’ve been wanting to snag one without breaking the bank, now’s your chance. With Black Friday on the way, plenty of retailers are offering discounts on big-ticket items. Some major deals on e-bikes just dropped as part of Walmart’s Black Friday sale, which means getting your hands on an electric ride just got more affordable with hundreds off regular prices.
