Segway is the number one manufacturer of electric scooters in the world, and we’ve been testing their products for years. We’ve come to expect high-reliability, high-quality electric scooters that cost a little more than your typical budget models.
Given Segway’s reputation for making higher-end scooters, we were a little shocked about a year ago when they came out with two ultra-affordable models, the Segway Ninebot E2 at $279 and the E2 Plus at $349.
While the E2 and E2 Plus are great for teens or younger college students, we thought that with a little more power and range, the E2 could also be one of the best electric scooters for adults in 2024.
Now we have the Segway Ninebot E2 Pro. It’s the top of the super-affordable E-series line, and it gives you 50% quicker hill climbing and 50% more range for about $100 more than the E2 Plus.
The E2 Pro has a 350W nominal motor in the rear wheel with 750 Watts of peak power for more torque.
Unlike the semi-solid tires on the E2 and E2 Plus, which are 100% flat proof, the E2 Pro comes with tubeless 10-inch tires, which are supposedly puncture proof. (We test that claim in our video review, and you’re going to want to see it.) The E2 Pro also comes with traction control, and it’s got Apple Find My so you can track your scooter’s location.
Segway claims a top speed of 15.5 miles per hour and a range of 16.8 miles. We put those claims to the test in our full review.
Who Is This Scooter For?
The Segway Ninebot E2 Pro is for the discerning budget buyer who wants the best quality they can get for the money. While the E2 Pro might not cost nearly as much as Segway’s bigger, faster scooters, like the Segway Max G2 or their GT performance line, it’s still a Segway, and it’s built to last forever and warrantied for 2 years.
The E2 Pro is also a scooter for commuters who don’t need to hit higher speeds on their ride to compete with car traffic. It can keep pace in the bike lane, however, with enough range to get you to work, and a quick turn-around charge time if you run low on juice and need to recharge during the day.
