The selection includes e-bikes, scooters, mopeds and accessories
from some of the best names in the industry, like Unagi, Bird,
Segway-Ninebot, SUPER73, SWFT and more. And together, Best Buy and
these transportation innovators are helping customers cruise into a
new era of commuting.
These new products are launching just in time for the Best Buy
Labor Day Sale, which starts Sept. 3 with hundreds of deals on TVs,
appliances, cellphones, fitness products and more. During the sale,
customers can also save up to $300 on select e-transportation
products.
“There’s been incredible innovation in the e-transportation
space, and we know more customers are looking for ways to
efficiently and sustainably commute,” said Frank Bedo, senior vice
president at Best Buy. “As we grow this selection, we look forward
to helping customers find the right products to fit their needs and
supporting them as they hit the road safely.”
For select electric bikes, Geek Squad can safely assemble and
help customers fine-tune their bikes, at the convenience of the
customer’s own home, for $99.99. Those services include adjusting
brakes, seat height and handlebars.
The collection of e-transportation will include products
from:
- Unagi: Redefining urban, local travel with its uniquely
designed lightweight and compact scooters, Unagi makes it easier,
cheaper and more fun for people to get from point A to point B,
while balancing weight, range, speed, and rideability. Their
All-Access subscription and ownership models allow riders to always
have a scooter when they need it, helping scale more sustainable
local transportation options.
- Bird: On a mission to bring eco-friendly mobility to
everyone, Bird designs its products with performance and
sustainability in mind. Its electric scooters and bikes turn
everyday commutes into fun adventures while providing an
alternative to carbon-heavy, short-distance gas-powered car
trips.
- Segway-Ninebot: Specializing in intelligent
short-distance transportation and service bots, Segway-Ninebot
strives to provide high-quality, safe and reliable products. Its
lineup of e-transportation is bringing the industry to the future
with mopeds, scooters, dirt bikes and more.
- SUPER73: An American lifestyle brand that inspires and
creates adventure by fusing motorcycle heritage with youth culture,
SUPER73 emphasizes thoughtful design, responsible manufacturing
techniques and local community engagement with its selection of
electric motorbikes.
- SWFT: With a passion for innovation, SWFT provides
solutions for short-distance e-mobility through its e-bikes,
e-moped and more. It handles every step of production to ensure
quality and safety at every turn.
