That's strange. I've been on that thing with two people and it got up the steeper parts of the hill with about 15km/h. Not amazing but absolutely serviceable considering it can't go faster than 20km/h anyways
TL;DR - Love my Segway Ninebot, saves time, saves $, gives freedom, + even survived a theft with Find My iPhone.

I’m 100 days into having my Segway ninebot E2 pro and I had no idea it would improve my quality of life so much. I live in Chicago & would usually take the bus -> train and then another bus to my location but now I can get around the city soo much easier and soo much faster.
Sometimes a bus delay led to 20-30 min extra travel time bc I’d miss a connecting train/bus. Now trips that took me 45 min take 15 min. And I feel more freedom to be spontaneous and go places that aren’t close to major roads
At first I was scared to spend $400 for a scooter but 100 days in, it’s paid for itself in saved transit fees and it’s so fun to ride around.
I will never buy a scooter that’s not Segway. Just bc it has find my iPhone. Which WOW. I’ve had 2 bikes stolen in Chicago in the span on 2 years so I was scared my scooter would get stolen. Well it did! But bc of find my iPhone the cops helped me get it back the same day.
600 miles later it’s 100% worth the investment. Bonus is I never have to worry about traffic jams, I wiz by with a smile.
I’m faculty at a university. I have a Segway Ninebot E2 Pro. It works perfectly for getting across campus twice a day. Total mileage per day is less than 1 mile, and my campus max speed is 10 mph. My campus is super flat with excellent paved surfaces, so I don’t need much power. Wear a helmet!

Were these screws tight? I couldnt find the allen key in the box and thought it would be ok. Turns out the same thing happened to me, hit a bump, fell off, heaps of scratches, scars, blood and a broken right arm. Then later the same day, i found the fucking allen key. (E2 Pro)

Always, AND I MEAN ALWAYS, TRIPLE CHECK THESE SCREWS ARE TIGHT BEFORE RIDING!!!!
I did update it but this is also my first escooter so its pretty beatup and im looking for something that can go on the road and me not have to worry about being to slow where i live to go down town i have to cross a highway and right now the e2 pro just is not cutting it for a safe enough speed for crossing it and i would love not to have range anxiety anymore but i really do appreciate the advice
