Segway - C2 Pro

My son loves this scooter. He is about 53” and we don’t even have the handle bar all the way up. So he can grow into it. Speed is fine, goes 12mph and if he is going down hill he can coast closer to 15mph. You can set speed limits on the app. I think anything faster than that would be too fast. Battery life is good. I love that it has a digital display that shows battery life remaining. If you are nervous that he may be reckless get him a full face helmet like an adult small super DH. I require that my son wears his when he rides.

Are you sure you have the c2 pro? On their website it says suitable for kids up to 5’6” which is practically a teenager. Ninebot has smaller kids scooters you may be confusing this with.

I just bought a C2Pro and it seems too small for a 9 year old. It’s ideal for riders 100-120 cm tall, roughly ages 4-8. I also wouldn’t give a kid a 12 mph scooter like the C20Pro until they have mastered a slower scooter like the Gotrax GKS.

Yep it’s the C2 Pro. It’s versatile because the handlebars can adjust by 6 inches. I have no doubt a 5’6” person could ride it comfortably. However at that height you can ride pretty much any scooter, and this one only goes 12 mph. Also the C2 Pro has a 100 Wh battery, so it won’t get you very far if you are over 100 lbs. It’s ideal for smaller people who don’t have a lot of good e-scooter options on the market. Down to 3’6” can ride this comfortably and at 50 lbs my son goes 12 miles on it.

Yes, the S2 Lite is a small scooter for kids. My son started riding it when he was 5. It has a 180 Wh battery, so a 50 pound rider can go 20+ miles at 13 mph with cruise control - it’s very impressive for a kid’s electric scooter! That being said, I recommend the Ninebot C2 Pro as a better option for kids. Its build quality is better and the adjustable handlebars make it comfortable for shorter and taller kids. Biggest downside of the C2 Pro is the smaller battery (100 Wh), so its range is about half of the S2 Lite.

My 5 year old has had this model for the last year and it’s been great for him. With the app you can slow it way down to your liking, but I’d possibly look into a size or two up from the c2 pro for a 9 year old. Just my opinion. Good luck!

My ninebot scooters I got for my kids all broke after a year. Junk stuff.

No we took care of them. They are scooters. Batteries went to shit with probably 50 hours of run time.
