Segway - Ninebot E2 Plus

It's specifically meant for simple needs just like yours. If the scooter is indeed new and the battery healthy, I say go for it.

Basic Ninebots are what we usually suggest. The F25 and F35 are relatively unassuming but effective people-movers. The G30LP and the F2 are a little more serious, but they're probably over-budget. The E2 is cheap but pretty weak, though that might be a feature rather than a bug if you're giving it to a 14yo - though do keep in mind that also means it chokes on the slightest uphills. We also like basic Nius but I don't think they have the 20kmh limit German law requires - all of the Nius I've seen so far do 25. Edit: well, apparently not - if available in Germany, the KQi1 Sport (warning: cheap but doesn't fold) or the KQi 100P would be good choices as well.

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).

You have the Razer E200 which is basic. 12mph for 45 minutes. Its the only escooter ive seen that can either be purchased with a seat or you can buy the accessory separately. Its $225 on sale on amazon, seatless, Also the segway ninebot kickscooter. They have several models ranging from 12mph to 15mph to 21mph. All have LED screens that say what mph you are going and can be folded in half for easy storage. The E2Plus (15mph) is $280 on amazon. Also has leds for visibility but im guessing hes not riding past dark. Unless you buy one of those segway "self balancing" scooters (they look *exactly* like those old fashioned segways mallcops used) there isnt much difference between them balance wise. It really depends on the rider. I can ride scooters and bikes but i cant ride with no hands or only one hand like alot of people...i tried once and swerved off the rode into a ditch. I also cant ride skateboards because they have no handlebars. Im terrible without something to hold.

I bought a Segway Ninebot E2 Plus II for my girlfriend to ride with me when I Onewheel around the neighborhood and she loves it! It was only $300 so I would recommend it or other similar models if you're not looking for higher speeds or specific features and weight under 200-lbs.

Feel the same way about my E2 plus2

If you're planning on keeping the scooters as they age, I think the Segway E2 plus is the better buy. Note: They will eventually get bored of the top speed in their teens.

not everyone needs a high end $1500+ scooter. as someone who comutes daily around a 5mi radius around my city something cheap and easy like this is very attractive.

they let you save 168 dollars to pay for the hospital bill ToT. Hiboy scooters suck, get a ninebot. strongly suggest ninebot teen and kids scooters (ninebot e2 is a good option)

The Segway e2 will serve your purpose just fine, just try not to deliberately ride through deep rain puddles.

E2 and E22 are good entry level.

It all depends on your budget, commute, and how heavy you are. Tiny dude doing short trips on flat pavement? You can get something small like a Ninebot E2. I myself have the Apollo City 2023. It's got dual motors so can get my >90kg ass up hills and all the way to the city. I used to have the Ninebot Max G2. It was a solid scooter, just didn't have enough power for hills.

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.

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.
