F2 E II

Hi, having tested the two brands on two models roughly similar to when I started and now riding in hyper trot, I will try to give you my opinion. The Xiaomi is very good value for money, indeed as another comment says it has a superior battery but honestly between the two you will gain like 5km; honestly you can't even count it as an advantage. Concerning its power, both are already light, but it remains below. The drum brake can be an advantage as well as a defect, less maintenance but less qualitative braking. If you're not used to it, it's very good because braking that is too optimal (dry) could send you into trouble. In general, the Xiaomi, like all their products, are very good value for money. The specs are good for this kind of price. However, on this specific example, I would lean more towards the segway, from my experience On this model, it has slightly more power, better braking, and above all exceptional reliability. I rode a Segway for 3 years before encountering a problem that wasn't even a problem. My Xiaomi lasted 2 years before having a drop in battery. I was even able to ride in the rain countless times, there is no official IPX but the finish is so clean that it replaces the certification. Concerning the application however, it is limited compared to that of Xiaomi. Verdict? If you are looking for classic, very good value for money with a slightly better battery: take the Xiaomi If you are looking for reliability, finish and overall the best quality, take the Segway 40€ difference for higher quality is really advantageous. If when you want to buy the difference between the Xiaomi and the Segway is 100€, it is no longer worth it. Here I hope I was easily understood. Once again this is just my experience, we don't have everything the same. Even if I preferred Segway, I was not disappointed with the Xiaomi. Your two choices are in agreement with your research in all cases.

I’m using Segway F2-2. It’s fine but a little bit big for me (I’m 5’2, 55kg). The scooter is lightweight but can be wiggly when it’s very windy. I always use the sport mode so I can only go around 25km after fully charged.

I have the Segway F2 and this thing is a tank. 300 miles in and she has been a loyal buddy to me. It has traction control for slippery weather, apple findmy so you can locate the scooter and a bunch of other cool shit in the app. It goes 19 MPH and that is FANTASTIC! Make sure to wear HELMET!!!!

Had a few for our teens. Xiaomi Elite Max goes for ages and doesn't go fast - perfect for someone getting to school and back etc. Eldest now has an F2 and really good. Invest in a decent D-Lock with code - kids never remember keys and scooters are stolen in seconds but haven't had one stolen with a dlock. Best of luck!

Solid advice on the Ninebot - I've had my G30 for like 2 years and it's been bulletproof, just heavy as hell to carry around. The F2 series is way more portable if you need to lug it up stairs or whatever

I just went through this with the G30P, E3 Pro, F3 at BB. I wanted the suspension and the E3 was pretty small for me at 6'2, there was no foot room at all which made standing position cramped and I reasoned if the much more spacious F2 was a lot safer by being able to carve and maneuver better, the $200 was a no brainer. I felt like I was standing over the bars on the E3, precariously forward, not laying back, so it felt all wrong. F3 cost me $700. The G2 has been cursed with the front wheel play thing and it's super heavy. The F2 is kind of similar but I guess less range as said above. E3 Pro to F2 was night and day for me plus it has hydro front suspension, 20% more power, super bright headlight. Go for the one you will enjoy the most. There is also a guy who says the F3 and E3 have the exact same fork as the G2 and will have the same play issues but I figured so many people have bought them and there is a limited amount of complaints. I was definitely turned away from the G2 there are at least 3 major issues with it.

Thats pretty light - you can use just about anything with a 350W + motor Probably your best deals are segway F series or Gotrax G Series

Im also a teen that commutes to school by escooter. Segway-Ninebot is a pretty high-quality brand in my opinion. For the purpose you gave the Ninebot E2 or E2 Plus II is a pretty cheap but still solid fit. I currently use the C2 Pro, its a kids scooter and Im very over the max reccomended rider age for it but I its cheap and gets the job done for me. But except for the few times I go somewhere extra, school’s only 1.8 miles for me, and for his longer range its probably better for him to get an E2, E2 Plus II, or maybe even an F-series if you want to get fancy (though I doubt he’ll need the power of an F-series).
