The store lists six standing scooter models in this category, from a folding commuter under 35 lb to a 50 mph dual-motor machine.
Walmart sells InMotion scooters through the brand's own marketplace store, but no scooter listing there reaches ten native unflagged reviews once reviews syndicated from the brand's site and Incentivized ones are dropped; none of Best Buy, Target, Costco, Dick's Sporting Goods, REI, Home Depot or Lowe's sells InMotion scooters (October 2026).
