Hey, looking for advice on which on to buy. My Xiaomi Scooter Elite was stolen I am hesitant if I should rebuy it or try something d different. **Prices:** \- SEGWAY E3 E 360€ \- Xiaomi Scooter Elite 300€ So far what I got from reading **SEGWAY E3 E** * New brand to me, I only had Xiaomis before * Traction Control (TCS): some say it doesn't do much, some say it is useful * Dual suspension * Fancy breaking system ? * 45 Km range but arguably **a lot less** in practice (like 20ish) * 400W/800W * 18% uphill incline (only, despite having a 400w motor?) **Xiaomi Scooter Elite** * I am kinda used to it. * NO Traction Control (TCS) * Front suspension only * I consider the brakes to be passable, but not perfect, preferred the disc brakes Xiaomi scooter 4 * 45 Km range, and in practice the real range is close * 350W/700W * 20% uphill incline (up to 20% > 18% despite having a weaker motor...how??) Any opinions? any real noticeable advantages in the segway E3 E making it really better? Is the TCS and back suspension worth the extra money? Is the battery life and climbing ability really worse?

I found the **SEGWAY E3 E** on offer for 331€ on wellbots. I ordered it. Worst case, if I don't like it, I have 14 days to return it.

I got the **SEGWAY E3 E,** so far I am happy with it, it feels stable in wind, but there one bumpy road I take that I still didn't test yet. The brakes, acceleration, etc all feel a little bit different than the Xiaomi Elite, but still ok. Less space, the Elite is a bit wider, but still ok The design is soo cool. It has a dedicated space for accessories and can be linked to "find my" like airtags (didn't try that yet, tho) THE MAJOR ANNOYANCE: No battery life on screen!! and the BIGGEST ISSUE: NO real good points to lock the scooter!! the spaces in the front wheel are very small! can't fit any of the locks I have through, will have to look for a look that fits The stem is clearly not an option because thieves can remove the handle bars by unscrewing it! and in this model the diagonal bar at the bottom is part of the folding mechanism (in the elite it is not a moving part, very stable!) which makes it not a very solid choice for locking. Will have to be extra careful with this one and enable that find my. If you're worried about security, and want to easily use physical locks don't go for this scooter!

Trust me, in Ninebot you will sometimes tighten the bolts, and in other brands you will change the controllers and batteries))) For the 3rd generation of Ninebot European versions, there are boards for unlocking speeds up to 40 km/h, and after some time, free firmware will appear. If you need speed and power, take the G3, if something is lighter and more compact, then the E3. F3 and ZT3 are intermediate options.

This is essentially a copy of the xiaomi m365, but more powerful, and the price is too damn high. As for me, it's better to pay a little extra and buy a Ninebot G2 or Ninebot E3 (just the first thing that came to mind), they are not inferior in power, they have a double suspension. Well, or look for something better than the hiboy s2 pro, for that price.

Id recommend the Segway ninebot e3 or e3 pro. The ninebot has front and rear suspension. The water resistance rating is good. The redesign Segway ninebot has done with many of their scooters now with much better steering geometry. The scooter will be very stable riding at full speed. I know someone has a modified Segway ninebot g3 and its similar steering/suspension geometry and flys over 80mph without a steering damper.

I bought the eu version and it only goes 25 and no led lights :( i really want to tune it but dont know how

I use an Abus padlock and a disc lock, however Ninebot E3 does not have a disc, so in your case only the Abus would work, as long as you make sure to always lock the scooter digitally, if you are interested in using padlocks, make sure you use one from Abus or similar, and put a permanent screw lock on the scooter's nuts and bolts.

I own the non-pro version, the Segway E3. I don't know what are the main differences, but I assume that one of the difference must be a bigger battery pack and longer range.  The E3 is a really great scooter for its price. I get a range a bit higher than half the advertised range because of my weight. It has a nice big screen, good headlights and brake lights, really nice RBG lights under the floor. I've used it during rain, and I have not faced any issues thus far. Although, I would say, if you're gonna ride it on the sidewalk, it will be a bumpy ride because the suspension isn't THAT great (not sure if the suspension's better on the pro model). But overall, the scooter is a really great scooter to look into.

Had the E3 for about 8 months now and honestly the weight difference is noticeable when you're hauling it up train steps multiple times a day. The suspension is pretty decent on cobblestones but I've had two flats already - one was probably just bad luck but still annoying when you're trying to get to work Pro tip: get some tire sealant either way, Paris streets are brutal on these things
