I got this for my 8 year old son so he could scoot around the neighborhood with me. I got this one because it was about $200 cheaper than what I bought. It's great for his size and weight it goes pretty quick on smoother surfaces. It does struggle going up hill. The brakes stop on a dime and i was able to get it ready out of the box in less than 5 minutes. It has a built in led kit which is controlled via Bluetooth so he really enjoys having a light show while he drives. The battery lasts for ever on a full charge too. 10/10 recommend

I have had this scooter for a year and commute with it during spring, summer and fall (excluding dec-feb). After 3 years of daily usage (8 miles total) and being in a trunk during some hot days, it works just as good as the day I got it. The battery life is excellent and reliable, as are the motor and breaks. This scooter is lighter* weight. I use it for the "third leg" of my commute to get from my car to my work, which is a few miles. I especially like that it folds for easy storage. The folding option allows me to store it in my trunk quickly and out of sight for later errands. I am also able to store it out of the way at work and conveniently charge it. It allows me to park farther away for free and save a considerable amount of money on parking while having a commute that takes just as long as trying to navigate a busy parking deck. Not to mention it is quite a blast and I don't show up all sweaty on hot days or worry about walking alone at night. I like that it has two breaking options and different acceleration speeds. It handles hills pretty well but I wouldn't think it would do well on very steep hills (see incline restrictions). For the larger hills I go on, I will sometimes give it a push to get more momentum. It is smooth and handles well, unlike the scooters you rent which feel a bit jerky and sudden in their acceleration.

Overall, I highly recommend this scooter for someone who wants a faster mode of transportation and an alternative method to a bike or for kids!

Needed minor assembly. Super simple took 3 minutes, tool included. Fun to ride. My only concern is that even though I just purchased from Amazon 3 weeks ago, production date on scooter was 13 months ago, so that means battery is already 1 year old before I purchased. Not happy about that. Otherwise, scooter is great.

Scooter arrived yesterday. Assembly is super easy. Just connect the steering handle and secure with six screws.

Charged up to 50% pretty quickly like within an hour and a half or so probably. 50-100% seemed a little slower.

Took it for a quick spin at night. The headlight was bright and put out a decent amount of light.

I'm just over 200lbs, so I'm sure the experience for those lighter will vary, but still this little thing was surprisingly nimble. On a relatively flat surface the display was registering 18-20kmph. Going up any sort of incline challenges it a bit. You can put it in the high power mode to overcome slight inclines with a running start. I'm not terribly hopeful that I'll get 12 mile range given my weight, and riding outside of the lowest power setting. I took it out for a ride in a parking lot with lots of inclines for about 15 -20 minutes or so and the battery was down to 50%.

The suspension on this is a little rough. You feel most bumps"¦ not the smoothest ride.

The electric brake system works well. You can also step on the rear fender to manually brake if needed.

Overall very impressed with this scooter so far. The build quality seems solid and high quality. Purchased on sale for around the $200 mark on sale.

Great beginner scooter or for those who just want to take short rides.

Fun little toy!

This is my first e-scooter. I've been using this it for about 2 weeks now. I use to ride around at my local park and to commute to work. I have around 63 miles on it and here are my thoughts.

°°° I will keep this page updated as I use my scooter throughout the year °°°
°°° Latest update: June 13 2023 °°°

::: Build Quality :::
The build quality is excellent. The stem uses a 2-step mechanism that prevents it from unfolding while you are riding it. This was one of my concerns because budget scooters seem to have this issue going by a few comments from other brands. I'm glad Segway addressed this. I've had no issues so far.

::: Packaging :::
The scooter was packaged well. The product box has plenty of padding. There shouldnt be any way for it to be damaged/dented during shipping.

::: Screen :::
The screen displays your battery life, mph, and if you have cruise control activated. And it's clear. Even under a sunny Florida day.

::: Headlight/Brake light :::
The scooter has a built in headlight and brake lights (they flash when you brake). Hats off to Segway. The headlight pattern has a similar design to a car where the hotspot is designed to illuminate your forward path and provide some lighting just ahead of you. It's better than other brands that prefer to have a spotlight. These lights are intergrated with the battery and have a negligible affect on it's range.

::: Ride Comfort :::
Unfortunately this is where this scooter takes a hit. I'll first add that the board has a good amount of space for your feet and for you to maneuver on. The rubber padding also gives you excellent grip. There is no suspension given it's budget price. You have puncture proof tires which means no maintenance. But it gives you a rougher ride compared to other scooters. The roads I take at the park and my commute to work are well to decently maintained. But a road non sealed cracked asphalt road will feel rough. Id say avoid this scooter if your local roads are not maintained. But otherwise it's fine !

::: Weight :::
It weighs 30 pounds. That's not bad ! I think most people can handle it. If you have to go up a single flight of stairs you'll be fine but anymore and it's going to suck for you.

::: Wet roads :::
I took a downpour on my ride from work (I'm in Florida) and I didn't slip. My shoes gripped the rubber board well. And the internals were not fried due to water intrusion. This board is water resistant. So time will tell if it holds up.

::: Charging :::
Slow. It takes several hours. But that's okay, it's better for the battery. And if barely warms up. Any faster would reduce it's life span.

::: Registration :::
You need to register with the Segway app to unlock it's full potential. It's easy enough. But I had initial issues. I ended up connecting it through Bluetooth settings on my phone. Then connecting it with the Segway app. No issues ever since.

::: Range :::
I take this to and from work. I am 5'7" and weight 170 lbs. Here's what I get:

12 mph = 11.5-12 miles of range.

My job is 5.2 miles from my home. So when I get to work I have 60% left. When I return home. I have between 10-20%. (And yes there is a cruise control thankfully) this is on par with what Segway states. There is a "D" mode that maxes out at 9mph. Which should get you the 15 miles of range. But I'll need to do further testing.

! Please note. I live and commute on mainly flat roads. If you have plenty of hills. Your range will drop greatly. Overall I'm happy with this range since it perfect matches what I need.

::: Issues :::
None so far

:::::: Final Opinion? ::::::
This is an excellent scooter. It's fast enough I can enjoy a nice ride around at my local park with lots of smooth walking/biking trails. I can also take it to work in 30 minutes. It feels like time flies by since I'm listening to music and staying alert with drivers around me. Although I'd say I'd be happier with the E2+ which goes 15mph. But my next upgrade will be a scooter that can go 20mph. This E2 tops out at 12 mph. And that's enough to go without wearing a helmet and elbow/knee pads. I had 3 instances where I wasn't quick enough to adjust my center of mass so I went off the scooter and onto the road/grass. You need to learn how to fall off this scooter. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be fine and can recover quickly. But be careful taking turns too sharply. These wheels are not designed for that. Take sharp turns carefully.

This is the perfect beginner scooter for commuting to work. Giving it to your kids. Or just driving around. Do I have regrets ? Nah. This is the perfect entry level price to give you a feel for escooters and if you want to eventually upgrade. Though ... I'm having so much fun .. that now I want the 20 mph escooters. But those WILL require you wear protection or you are heading to a medical clinic after you wipe out. So for now, I'm good.

::: should I buy it ? :::
Yes! It's so much fun.
