Segway - F2

Got a used one for 330, only 288 miles. Just scratches, was that a good deal?

Yeah it says that. The breaks maybe need a bit lubreicating

I picked one up a week ago for this price. I'm really happy with it so far. 3 speeds are nice, and sport mode is FAST at 19mph.

If it works well and you're happy with it, then yes. Download the app if you haven't already. Charge to 80% (unless you need the extra miles) to help prolong battery life. Assuming the battery is in good shape, you got it for $200 under MSRP Displayed miles at 80% should be about 19 or 20 miles. If it shows close to that, that's a good sign.

I don't know if ninebot is considered name brand but I love my f2 Pro so much

Damn my f2 pro came in 19th..thought it was better that that lol

I’ve been riding on the max g2 for a week feeling like I should have gone for the F2 pro. The thing is just too heavy for me. Still debating.

Seems like everything was better on the max g2 except for the weight. Oh and the pro came with a bag hook that I really liked. That being said, I just hated how bulky the g2 was for my need (carrying it upstairs quite often). The F2 pro was lighter and felt more nimble, and for almost half the price ($600 vs $1000), it just made more sense. The range drop (22 miles vs 25 miles at high speed) wasn’t a big deal. I do miss the suspension a bit, but I mostly ride on paved roads. Oh and I thought the f2 pro was visually better looking, and less of a target for thieves. Overall, very happy with the F2 pro.

Really depends on how and where she intends to ride it. I probably spoiled myself by going for a fully suspended one on my first purchase (the Max G2) and when I tried a friend's F2 Pro,on somewhat degraded roads, it felt like I was going to damage my spinal cord lol, lack of back suspension really shakes you like a tree.

My commute home includes a train ride plus a 20-minute walk that has an uphill part and a short gravel / dirt road. So after watching some reviews I decided the F2 pro was the perfect balance between portability and power. Here's my experience so far. The scooter handles gravel much better than I expected. No issues at all. I'm glad I didn't go for the Max G2, I'm sure the rear suspension would add to the comfort but I'm perfectly fine with what I have and the lower weight was more important to me. Also I'm really glad for the traction control feature as I heard it kicking in a few times on dirt. I don't even understand why is it off by default, I switched it on in the app immediately. Unfortunately riding uphill was a disappointment. They advertise 120 kg max payload and 22% max incline. Now I'm around 100 kg and the steepest incline on my route is 18% and it can't make it up. I wasn't expecting full speed, but I was hoping to be able to get to the top without help. It's not happening unfortunately, so you should set your expectations based on this. But overall I'm glad with the scooter, it's still a huge help with my commute and actually pretty fun to ride. Now my biggest issue is that I can't remove the 25 km/h limit because it was on the latest firmware out of the box, so I'm hoping for a solution soon lol. 25 is fine but I would actually feel safer in traffic if I could speed up to 30-32.

One funny thing, I found the setting "abnormality alert" in the app. It says "audible and visual alarm in case of abnormal vibrations". I was like cool, this will alert me if something's wrong with the tires or brakes or whatever. Nope, that's the anti-theft alarm. 😄 I was confused for a minute, not understanding why the scooter beeps at me when I move it.

Tried disabling it today but no luck unfortunately. It's pretty steep though, I can't even ride my bike all the way up.

Huh, that's interesting. So there's still hope mine's true power will also kick in shortly 😄 Thanks!

Mine was fine, but definitely check it. Also you're supposed to check it in every few weeks (but so far it's not deflating for me).

1. I'm sure it adds to its range, I think the app estimates around 35-37km range with a full charge in sport mode. But I'm a heavier guy, often climbing hills with the scooter, and those are more serious factors on range I think. But I don't measure the actual distance I travel between charges, I just plug it in when it's low, so I can't really help you with that, sorry. 2. I'm definitely experiencing this unfortunately. Under 30% battery the performance starts to drop. It's not a big issue on flat roads, it maybe takes a second or so more to reach the top speed; but the hill climbing suffers a great deal. It kinda sucks because the last part of my commute is uphill, so if I reach it with less than 30% battery, it won't carry me up anymore, I have to help it out with a few kicks, even on slight elevations. But again, I'm around 100kg plus my clothes and backpack, so I get it. All things considered, I'm happy with the scooter. I wish it was a bit stronger but I guess it would then also be heavier and more expensive. I'm especially glad for the turn signals, I thought it's a gimmick but I ended up using it all the time and it really makes my ride in traffic safer.

No, I didn't notice it getting any stronger. But I kind of adjusted my expectations - it can still take me up on somewhat steep inclines, only the steepest part was too much under my weight. My sister in-law who's much lighter than me tried it and she managed to get all the way up. So I think it can manage 22% hills with full battery, under someone around 60 kg, and slowly. Still pretty impressive considering the size and price.

I’ve had a f series nine bot scooter for a year now. Getting outsped by limes because my dinky thing dies after 6-7 miles is killing me. I’ve made my mind on the Kabo mantis 10 lite. Seems like the exact power distance and speed upgrade I need
