Segway - C2 Pro

[Segway C2 Pro Kids Scooter](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/segway-c2-pro-kids-electric-scooter-w-7-5-mi-max-operating-range-12-4mph-max-speed-black/6541284.p?skuId=6541284&extStoreId=579&utm_source=feed&ref=212&loc=1&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19689011035&gbraid=0AAAAAD-ORIgMAKQttAkxwwcEkfqsk9PKp&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3b77zcKcjQMV9UlHAR071A3uEAQYAyABEgLF1_D_BwE) Got this for my 10 year old a year ago. My 8 year old also rides this. We started out slow with max speeds. The app is good. Been rock solid.

I get it. It's the same way with motorcycles. That's cool as hell to have a partner that shares a passion with you and has her own thing going on too. My wife used to love tennis but that all ended with Covid then having our youngest shortly after. She rode the Niu scooter to the local Starbucks a few weeks ago and it sparked something in her. Then when I got my Aventure .2 she swapped me the scooter for the bike for about 10 minutes in a local parking lot and she ended up ordering one for herself too. Hers arrived today along with the Ninebot C2 Pro for one of the middle kids and they both test rode them around the block with a wind chill of 15°F and were so happy when they came back. It's so fun to see someone you love vibing and having a good time. I hope you and the wife keep having fun and sharing that joy together, it's really something special.

To be honest we are pretty stoked. I weigh around 280lbs so it's not easy finding something with the rating, range, and power for a guy like me. The green Aventure .2 is mine The black Aventure .2 is my wife's My oldest rides the Niu KQi 2 Pro Older middle rides the Ninebot C2 Pro Younger middle rides the Fanttik C9 Pro The 2 year old will ride in the Burley Bee trailer but it doesn't arrive until Friday and will go behind my bike. As my kids get older I'll start upgrading the scooters but for now I don't think they need anything faster than what they have. I am eyeballing the Amflow PL Carbon Pro with the new DJI Avinox mid drive system for myself eventually. Those things have generated a lot of buzz.

This is what I bought for my 12 and 14-year olds to use. It's enough to get them going and not too crazy fast. Still need to wear gear. They weigh 105-125lbs, and it's enough for them to get up the steep hill next to our house. I'm 180lbs, and I can ride it on flats, moderate hills, but it won't climb the steep hill with me on it.

I’d go with the [Segway Ninebot](https://www.reddit.com/r/Calidad_Precio/comments/1j2ltqy/best_electric_scooters_for_college_in_2025/). It’s got great range, solid speed, and rides super smooth. Perfect for getting around campus without worrying about charging all the time.

Try Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, I got a nice ninebot for $150.

Been using Navee S65 for about 6 months now and had a Ninebot before that. The ride quality is actually pretty solid - suspension feels comparable and build quality seems decent enough. Where Navee really struggles is in the app department, it's quite clunky compared to Segway's software and customer support is basically non-existent if you run into issues As for market share, I think they might grab some budget-conscious buyers but Segway just has too much brand recognition and better service network

If it's just to commute to work get a Segway ninebot or NIU like most people.

This isn't helpful. The person asked a very popular question and you responded with a condescending, "you need more money" tone. You could have referred them to this very question on the escooter sub. There are scooters out there that aren't "pieces of junk" at this price point. HiBoy, while having poor customer service, is a decent suggestion. Buy the extended coverage plan if you order from Amazon or wherever you order from just to be safe. They also sell extra parts which can be difficult to track down for other brands. NIU KQi2/3 is a great, budget friendly scooter which is recommended in the "escooter" sub and is the only "budget" scooter they recommend. The Ninebot model from Segway isn't the most popular, for quite a few reasons, but I certainly wouldn't consider it a piece of junk. It's a 70/30 chance you'll get your full money's worth, 400 dollars is still a good deal of money, which I think OP and I both understand; although to some who can afford better quality products for commuting there are obviously far better options. If you want to just get around for a little while look into these models. Stay away from brands like GoTrax or Volpam or those who primarily sell on Amazon and create fake reviews etc and you have a better chance of getting a decent life on these. My car was stolen and didn't receive enough to make a down payment on a vehicle, so I have tried each of these scooters. I will say the one I went with was the HiBoy, despite the NIU having a better track record and some better features. A review of that for a later time. At the end of the day, yes--you get what you pay for. But, as I said, this is still a decent chunk of change that will get you from points A to B (assuming your commute is primarily campus or city-based). Do not neglect the idea of looking for refurb's or used on FB marketplace and the like (!!!!) Don't get it wet/ride in the rain. Basic stuff. Look out for potholes and crazy drivers/stay safe and you will be good for a bit until you're able to save up for a nicer model. Hope this helps.

I’ve had both, Segway is better quality hands down. Navee is still good though.

If you’re mainly commuting, I think you’re already looking in the right category. Segway (Ninebot) and Xiaomi are consistently the safest options when it comes to dependability and value. They have good build quality, readily available parts, and fewer long-term issues. The Hiboy is good but a little more inconsistent in terms of durability, while the Unagi is attractive but expensive for what you get.
