Segway - F2 Pro

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

I have had the F2 Pro for about 4 months and it's been good to me.

Just be careful with the range bc their estimate is based on a75kg person riding 12km/hr in eco mode on flat bitumen. That does not reflect how I ride my scooter. I have an f2pro &it's range is 55km. I get about 27- 30km (&that's using regen battery at medium &sports mode set to normal) bc I have steep hills& I use drive or sports travelling 20-25km/hr but you'll love it. It's so much fun

Had a Gyroor that was bought in May 2023. It had issues, I wrote them and asked where I could find replacement parts. They said the line has been discontinued and no parts exist soooo… never doing that again. I want a scooter brand that is easy to find parts on. We bought a Segway Ninebot F2 Pro and so far love it more. Better handling, rides higher, app that works, no card to unlock the scooter, smooth ride.

looks like it has a single motor "With its **powerful 450-watt motor**" unless Im wrong I would say this would not be a great hill climber.

yeah, I see what you mean it does say "Its **powerful 450-watt motor with a max output of 900 watts**" its possible it can peak at higher watt, but in my experience this is only slightly more powerful than a lime scooter. I would go dual motor for sure.

I would go for the F2 Pro. It has front suspension, the Nui has no suspension (that alone should be a deal breaker, you’re going to want suspension). Also the F2 Pro has Apple’s Find My tech built in, so you can track it if it gets stolen.

So the issue with the advertised range is that it’s tested under ideal conditions (no traffic, flat roads) with a very lightweight rider. Constant acceleration and deceleration lowers your actual range. G30LP might not cut it as people have tested it for around 14 miles of range without traffic, so it might fall short a bit to your requirements (with traffic). But it is currently the best value per dollar since it’s $250 refurbished at Walmart. F2 Pro is alright, you’ll definitely get 12 miles and have a bit of range left over. I personally own the F2 Pro in NYC and I get around 15 miles of range. I recommend the Max G2 (as the owner of one myself) I know your budget is $600, but if you are open to second-hand scooters. That’s around the price of a used Max G2 on Facebook marketplace. Just make sure to do your due diligence by checking the battery voltage, cycles, etc. before purchasing it.

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

I love my 9bot F2 Pro. Not too expensive, great quality and ride, with well built, and company supported peace of mind.

Something like a Segway F2 Pro would be Ideal. Your basically getting a cheaper G30Max with just a little less range. The F2 has great suspension that will make your ride smoother on most grounds.

F3 def looks good. If you have the money go for it but F2 still highly recommended.

Get an F2 Pro then if you want to go light. You only need to do 3 miles, which is nothing.

I think my F2 pro is great. It carries my 250lb ass up hill twice a day. It cruises nice and has turn signals.

I've been using the F2 Pro for about 9 months, taking it on the subway, trains, and buses. I ride it almost everywhere—I hardly walk anymore, so my legs have gotten weak! :) It's lightweight and easy to load/unload onto vehicles, (I have a spinal hernia so I care) as well as lift onto and off pavements without ramps. The hanging hook on the back of the stem is a lifesaver for carrying market bags, backpacks with haul loops, and more. The only downside (for me) is that it has a peak power of 900W, allowing it to handle inclines of up to 22%. Meanwhile, the F3 Pro can handle 24%. This is a very subjective issue because I regularly visit a place with a \~22% slope ramp, and I can't reach the top without zigzagging in the last 10 meters. :) Other than that, it's a great scooter. The 40 km range is more than sufficient for city use. I will upgrade to the F3 Pro if it has a good price when it's released. # Key Changes from F2 Pro to F3 Pro: 1. **Peak Power:** * **F2 Pro:** 900W * **F3 Pro:** 1200W * **Increase in Peak Power:** \+300W (+33.33%) 2. **Range:** * **F2 Pro:** 55 km * **F3 Pro:** 70 km * **Increase in Range:** \+15 km (+27.27%) 3. **Weight:** * **F2 Pro:** 18.5 kg * **F3 Pro:** 19 kg * **Increase in Weight:** \+0.5 kg (+2.7%) 4. **Battery Capacity:** * **F2 Pro:** 460 Wh * **F3 Pro:** 477 Wh * **Increase in Battery Capacity:** \+17 Wh (+3.7%)

I have been using F2 Pro for about 1000 km. Mine is limited to 25 km/h. I am generally very pleased. I especially wanted it to be relatively light. (I have to carry it to the 3rd floor all the time) A shock absorber at the front wouldn't be bad either. It also gives what I want in terms of range and power. I find "limited power" suitable for a scooter. Very fast / very powerful scooters are a total madness. Positive aspects; first of all, it works properly. The quality of the materials is excellent and it seems sure to stay that way for a long time. It has a relatively high engine power compared to its weight. I think it is one of the best among single-motors. It is easy to fold and carry. The right and left signals are quite bright. (I wish it worked like hazard lights but no). Most importantly, the lock that opens from the device screen. You can't go directly by pressing the unlock button. You have to enter the password on the device first. This is very useful in terms of security, especially so that they don't tamper with it. It also has a built-in alarm. And this scooter have Apple find my device support. As for the bad features; Even though the front shock absorber works well, there is a little gap and it makes noise. It is not noticeable when using it, but it is there. It takes 6-7 hours to charge. This is too long. I wish this model had a built-in charger like the Max g2. In general, I think it is a product that can be purchased within its price range. I do not know if more can be purchased in this price range, except for noname brands.

Yes, its wobble but i don't care. Because i think this is a design, but a issue.

Same, I just hit over 500 miles on my Segway F2 Pro and it's still running strong.

Gotrax is e-waste tier until you hit GX Zero. Even then, it's a D tier option. Garbage cells that don't last more than a year usually, controllers blowing up, and other electrical issues plague them. Also terrible company in general. # $500 budget * **F2** \- 38lbs, 700w, 36v 367Wh, Front disc brake, 18mph max, *(up to 950w/22mph+)***\*** * **KQi 3 Pro** \- 45lbs, 700w, 48V 486Wh, Front+Rear disc brakes, 20mph max The KQi 3 Pro is better than the F2, stock.

Take ur pick. \**You can flash SHFW (scooter hacking firmware) onto Segways in minutes, unlocking control of speed/power/etc. No tools required (if you join the Telegram).* [***As long as you follow the guide***](https://github.com/lekrsu/shfw-walkthrough?tab=readme-ov-file#Ninebot-g2-f2)***,*** *it is highly unlikely to damage anything.*

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.

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.

Can't help you about reviews, but I *can* tell you - from the tech specs and from user reports here - that E-series Ninebots below the E3 Pro aren't actually very good. They have weak powertrains and tiny ranges and they'll choke on any uphill; personally I'd avoid them all. The E3 Pro specifically is the only one with a half-decent powertrain; I'd imagine that's why people have more things to say about it. I *would* choose a Xiaomi 5 before any E-series, but I'd choose a Ninebot F3, cheaper F2, or even the older G30 before the Xiaomi 5.

If your commute has hills - you are going to need a scooter with enough power to climb them. In my case I started with a 900w Segway and it would barely climb hills at walking speed, that was with me giving it some help it - which wasn't doing my back any good. . I moved up to a dual motor 2 x 1000watts and it is unstoppable and will maintain 20 - 30Kph on any climb. It also has 2 x disc brakes so stopping power is much better. But it can be a bit of beast to ride due to its power - so I dial back the power settings. Only negative of this scooter is its weight - 30+ Kg makes it hard to handle.

meh, speed isn't everything. I'd rather have something reliable that I know is going to work every time I turn it on, and it's affected by things like rain. That said, Segways are extremely reliable, g30p is about $600 now, G2Max has been available recently for $799 and it adds suspension and little higher top speed as well as blinkers. The f2pro might hit that $500ish price point too.

Depends on the overall budget though. College students don't necessarily want to sent or have the money to spend on a higher end scooter, esp when there are decent dependable scooters that may not go 50mph with a range of 90 miles. College students are going to have issues of storage and theft as primary concerns. So spending over $1k for something that could easily grt stolen makes zero sense. You're really better of getting something that is cheaper and reliable and speed doesn't have to be king nor does everyone want speed to be king. Add that it has zero to do with masculinity as you're trying to make it put to be. You're not a little girl if you don't want to go 50mph+, you just want a quicker commute and do it safely. Some people have balance issues and the faster you go the more dangerous it becomes. So something like those entry/mid level segways are amazing options because they aren't made for speed but dependability. And no, it doesn't have to be a tradeoff, but often times is.

at what point do you think I'm the OP? My experience and a lot of peoples that for the money, the Segways are some of the most dependable on the market and aren't built for speed. Some people are going to really like that aspect of it. Probably esp a college student on a budget.
