For anyone debating trying out scooters, *for this price* this deal is pretty hot. Solid review from well-known YTers back when it launched almost 2 years ago -
Discount the part at the end of the video where they talk about the competition. This scooter is 2 years old in design, and even in the 2nd half of 2024, a lot of new competition has matched or bettered the Segway. At higher price points than this sale, these days there are other options like:
- the Okai Neon Ultra es40. Awesome machine for $200 more than this sale price. Whether the extra money is worth it depends on each individual's needs and usage.
- Apollo Go. Costs almost twice the price of this Segway sale, so probably not worth it for most. BUT the Go crushes hills, is loaded with the latest tech, and is damn good on its own merits.
- Vmax vx4 rides all day comfortably, and the vx2 Pro is only $100 more than the Segway
- and of course have to mention Voro motors lineup, and in particular the Emove Cruiser S (and since if you wanna splurge hard, the Cruiser v2). Long-range kings, great bang-for-the-buck, and highly customizable while still being damn good stock out the box.
Again, for the $600 though, the Segway is great even if I'd probably spend the extra 2 bills to buy the Okai es40 (in blue for better visibility to other people).
Last thing: if you're gonna ride over ~10mph, wear a helmet! Death by scooter is a silly way to go, and easily minimized with head protection.
This is a great scooter at $600, and if you're thinking of a scooter, get this.
The only downsides is the internal charger will die eventually and you'll have to use an external charger, and the rear mud fender is pretty poorly made and will likely break over time.
Otherwise it's rock-solid and I've had mine for nearly 3000 miles. It's great commuting to an office job and back.
I have this scooter as well, great for getting around. As the user before me said this one is heavy, and somewhat cumbersome with the extended handlebars if you need to throw it into a car.
i used to own the original Max. Is this one that much harder to get into a car?
I have this scooter. Heavily recommend. The best all around scooter in terms of range, comfort, price, quality. Only con is it a bit heavy so ideally you don't have to deal with stairs
how is it putting into a car? does it use that goo inside the tire rather than air? how involved is replacing tires if needed?
I wish they had capped these at 20mph like many local laws limit them to being capable of reaching. Not so much the enforcement I'm worried about as civil lawsuits over an accident while technically driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle.
I do, but I never leave mine outside. I ride it to work and back, leave it in the employee area. When I stop by grocery stores, I bring it inside and park.
That's kinda the problem with these. They're not really practical for errands. Too difficult to lock up and too expensive to leave unlocked. And then if someone wants to be an ass they could just slash a tire or wire and you're out of luck

Not bragging but I win here.

I even ride it in the snow and it handles great!
