What’s Available?

E22

6 hrs

65 km 20 % We pitch the E22 – which we’ve spent quite a lot of time riding recently – as the perfect road e-scooter. Light at 13.5kg and foldable, it’s perfect for taking on the train or bus. Once mobile, an LED screen in the centre of the handlebars displays the charge remaining and travelling speed. The wheels are foam-filled and two shock absorbers help smooth out bumps in the road, while an incredibly bright LED headlight will help navigate night-time trips. Top speed comes in at 21kph, however if you attach an additional battery (sold separately), speed increases by 4kph and takes the range from 22km to a whopping 44km. Charge time is around three hours. Available in selected stores and online 13.5 kg 25 kph

E8

4 hrs

10 km 7 % Enjoying e-scooters isn’t just the preserve of the young. Segway-Ninebot has developed two models for the junior members of the family, so no one misses out. For children under the age of eight, Segway has you covered with the E8, a small yet versatile e-scooter perfect for learning the craft on. Spring shock absorbers and wear-resistant solid tyres will endure whatever your junior rider will throw at it, and three speed modes – sports, cruise and safety – that are activated at the rear of the deck next to the power button provide options for learners to cruise the streets with confidence. Maximum speed is 14kph with a 10km range. Coming Soon - ONLINE ONLY 8 kg 14 kph

E10

4 hrs

10 km 7 % The next model in Segway’s e-scooter junior range has been designed with a larger frame to accommodate eight- to 14-year-old riders. Much like the E8, the E10 has spring shock absorbers, a thumb throttle with a corresponding handbrake on the other grip, and three modes of speed – sports, cruise and safety. The safety mode caps the e-scooter’s speed, making it easier for beginners. It’s foldable for transport and weighs a mere 8.5kg. The E10’s top speed is 14kph, with the range coming in around 10km. Coming Soon 8.5 kg 16 kph

Max

6 hrs

65 km 20 % The Max is Segway-Ninebot’s big, 18.7 kg 25 kph

powerful all-rounder. With a deck that will feel like a surfboard in comparison to other e-scooters, the Max is built for comfort. Pneumatic tyres mean you can venture off the road more often, and a more substantial battery affords riders an unprecedented 65km range. And the Max eats hills alive, handling anything up to a 20-degree rise with ease. Four different riding modes can be activated through the app and the Max is designed to facilitate USB charging, so you only have to carry a USB cable when you’re on the road instead of a bulky charging pack. Suspension, dual brakes and a rear wheel drive for better acceleration complete this excellent one-step foldable e-scooter; a serious ride for serious riders. Full charge will take five to six hours. Available in selected stores and online

T15

4 hrs

12 km 15 % The ultimate in e-scooter portability, and the commuter’s best friend. Weighing only 10.5kg, the T15 folds right down (including the handlebars) for easy stowage. There is no accelerator on it; instead, the rider kicks as per a standard scooter and the T15 calculates the surface type and automatically sets a cruising speed. Want to pick up the speed? Use your feet to push and the speed will adjust to suit. To slow down, tap on the rear wheel to brake (this also regenerates a little battery). A top speed of 20kph and a range of 25km on a single charge rounds out the package. Coming Soon 10.5 kg 20 kph

Any user of this product must ensure that they check and abide by their local by-laws and use responsibly. Ride with caution and always wear a helmet and protective gear when riding your e-scooter and e-board.
