Segway - E22E

e2 maybe, e22 hell no, its a rereleased ES series with none of the MANY issues fixed

Got over 300miles on my ninebot s2 with external battery. Things pretty fast even tho it only goes 20mph with the battery extender. I love it for short trips to the store.

E2 and E22 are good entry level.

I gave an E22 to a college-age kid to get around campus. It's a foam-filled tire that they don't need to worry about maintaining. I think it was worth the other tradeoffs.

I would strongly disagree. As mentioned, the E22 is a derivative of the ES series. It's better built and fixes some of the ES's *many* problems, but retains some of the important ones, including the frankly backward concept of keeping all the electronics and heavy battery in the stem - where it screws up weight balance and makes it a nightmare for maintenance. The E2 has a more traditional build, but it's just weak. 24V powertrains shouldn't be included on anything larger than mini-scooters for kids. Ninebot are a mixed bag like that - they make some really great products, and at the same time some really crappy ones. I'm convinced the RnD department is split in two, or may actually be two branches of the company, and neither knows what the other one is up to. I can't otherwise explain how Ninebot are responsible for the scooter we most suggest (G30) and at the same time the scooter we most laugh at (ESx).

I just got a F3 to upgrade from the E22 the F3 battery is terrible it drains so quick the E22 can keep up with it and it’s supposed to have less range.

I've been using my partner's Segway Ninebot eScooter to commute to work regularly for two summers now and have been very happy with it. He bought it locally at Best Buy. It's definitely not the cheapest eScooter, but I'd say it's worth 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.

Segway is good but this is a kids' scooter. The weight limit is 50kg, so unless you're a preteen or a **very** small adult, this probably isn't the scooter for you. It's not built to handle an adult's weight, and it will feel slow even at top speed. The motor is only 260W. The Segway Ninebot line has good brand recognition, and a reputation for not needing much maintenance. But that comes at a premium. If you're on a budget, I'd go for a different brand. P.S. I assume this is in Canada. Your city [probably has scooter laws](https://apolloscooters.ca/blogs/news/electric-scooter-laws-2024-in-canada-everything-you-need-to-know) that limit you to around 25km/h or 500W (treating them as motorcycles past that in some cities, so you'll need a license and insurance). So it's most likely a bad idea to get something too expensive anyway; you're really only paying for more power past $800 or so. The one linked here is a good option.

Depending on your weight, and how hilly Ann Arbor is, I'd probably aim for a cheaper dual motor scooter - the Inmotion climber or the Kaabo Mantis 8 both come to mind. If you're lighter, or mostly in flat area, the Segway Ninebot line has a lot of happy users. You mention you're not handy - I'd advise learning just a little bit of maintenance on the scooter, since it really is easy to do and you don't have much else protecting you on one! Basic stuff like wiping it down when it gets dirty and checking/filling tire pressure will go a long way. You can pick up a cheap electronic air compressor that doubles as a power bank to help with that, and every manufacturer should have videos or writeups on regular maintenance. The big problem is that, unlike a bike, you probably don't have a shop you can take it to for repairs near you - even if there's a bike shop with ebike repairs, they don't necessarily service scooters too.

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

Ninebot is made by Segway. It’s branded. I also love my ninebot.
