Segway - Ninebot E2 Plus

Personally mine’s a Ninebot Kickscooter E2 Plus. Pretty sturdy and I love it. Go for about $349.99 on their website and Best Buy (from what I can find) before taxes and the such :)

Oh this also come with an app for you to set up and connect to it. I’m not sure if that’s the norm with other scooter tho. It’s my first time having one so I thought that was pretty cool 😊

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.

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.

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)

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.

Sounds like you really should get a segway E2

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.

I have the Segway Ninebot Scooter, it’s pretty good! Mine isn’t the best at hill climbing tho, especially when its steep, it slows down. But i can’t really say much about other scooters though

Segway is good but this is a kids' scooter. The weight limit is 50kg, so unless you're a preteen or a **very** small adult, this probably isn't the scooter for you. It's not built to handle an adult's weight, and it will feel slow even at top speed. The motor is only 260W. The Segway Ninebot line has good brand recognition, and a reputation for not needing much maintenance. But that comes at a premium. If you're on a budget, I'd go for a different brand. P.S. I assume this is in Canada. Your city [probably has scooter laws](https://apolloscooters.ca/blogs/news/electric-scooter-laws-2024-in-canada-everything-you-need-to-know) that limit you to around 25km/h or 500W (treating them as motorcycles past that in some cities, so you'll need a license and insurance). So it's most likely a bad idea to get something too expensive anyway; you're really only paying for more power past $800 or so. The one linked here is a good option.

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.

Ninebot is made by Segway. It’s branded. I also love my ninebot.

What's your budget and country?  That makes a huge difference.   Overall,  Segway-Ninebot is the biggest company and they have a range of scooters at all budgets. You won't get the best value for a dollar but you'll have an acceptable warranty and a large community of users.

Yeah Segway is the least risky option.  You can also look at Niu, although none of their kick scooters have rear suspension so long rides on rough pavement can be tiring.  If your roads aren't very smooth I would strongly recommend a scooter with front and rear suspension.   keep in mind that advertised range is much shorter than real life range unless you have perfect conditions and ride at slower speeds.
