Segway Ninebot E2 Pro Electric Scooter

Segway rates the motor at 350 W continuous and 750 W peak, enough for an 18% grade in its own test. As shipped, its 15.5 mph top speed is 0.5 mph above California's 15 mph limit for motorized scooters (Vehicle Code §22411), so a California rider has to hold it at 15, and it is under the 20 mph line in New York's e-scooter definition (VTL §114-e), as is the 18.6 mph update; scooters are not e-bikes, so the US e-bike classes do not apply. New Jersey draws its line for a legal e-scooter at stand-up, under 19 mph and no more than 750 W (NJ chart), and the E2 Pro's numbers sit inside it at either speed. California also requires a driver's license or instruction permit, and a helmet under 18 (§21235). Pennsylvania does not allow e-scooters on public roads. Check your city's rules as well.

The battery is 36 V and 7,650 mAh, which Segway states as 275 Wh. Segway prints range at three speeds, each with a full battery, a 165 lb (75 kg) load, 77°F and pavement: 24.9 miles at a 9.3 mph average, 21.7 miles at 12.4 mph and 15.5 miles at 18.6 mph. We estimate 10 to 13 miles at full speed for a 175 to 180 lb rider on city streets with stops (275 Wh divided by 22 to 27 Wh per mile). For this scooter the estimate probably runs low. The band comes mostly from faster scooters, and published full-speed range tests have found the E2 Pro going about 25% further than its top end, so treat 13 miles as a cautious figure. A full charge takes about 5.5 hours.

The E2 Pro rolls on 10-inch tubeless pneumatic tires, which Segway calls air-leakage-proof, inflated to 45 psi, give or take 3. Segway lists no suspension, so the tires do all the cushioning. Braking is a front drum plus a rear electronic brake, with no disc. The scooter is rated IPX4, which covers splashing water, and the battery pack IPX6. It weighs 41.4 lb and folds to 45.9 x 21.1 x 22.2 inches, so a daily carry up stairs is a real chore. Max load is 265 lb, and Segway lists rider heights from 4 ft 5 in to 6 ft 5 in. The 18% climb figure comes from a test at 70% battery with a 165 lb rider at 9.3 mph on a 10-meter slope. Front and rear turn indicators are built in, and the app adds traction control and Apple Find My.

Segway states its scooters are tested to UL 2272 by TÜV Rheinland; we could not verify it in a certifier's directory. That statement sits in the product-warning block on Segway's E2 Pro page. The Amazon title also claims UL 2271, the standard for battery packs alone, which Segway's page does not claim for this model. UL 2272 covers the electrical system's fire and shock safety; it does not test the folding stem, fork or brakes. New York City requires it for e-scooters sold there under Local Law 39, and since January 1, 2026 California has required UL 2272 battery testing for motorized scooters sold there (SB 1271). No CPSC recall found for the Segway Ninebot E2 Pro as of October 2026. Segway's 2025 recall of about 220,000 Max G30P and G30LP scooters, over their folding mechanism, does not cover this model (CPSC notice). Our scooter safety guide explains how to check a listing's claims.

• Hiboy S2: lighter at 35.5 lb and faster at 19 mph, with rear spring suspension and a rear disc brake, on a battery of about the same size (Hiboy gives 36 V and 7.5 Ah on its site, 7.8 Ah in its manual). It rides on 8.5-inch honeycomb solid tires, carries 220 lb and has a one-year warranty. The E2 Pro answers with larger air-filled tires, a 265 lb limit and a two-year warranty.
• Gotrax GXL V2: the same 15.5 mph top speed at 27 lb, 14 lb lighter, but with a 187.2 Wh battery (we estimate 7 to 9 miles), a 250 W motor, a 220 lb limit and no water rating stated. Pick it if you carry the scooter more than you ride it.

Buy the E2 Pro if you are 16 or older, ride a few miles each way on paved streets, and want a scooter that ships close to the 15 mph riding limit that 12 states set. It also suits a buyer who would pay more for a two-year warranty and a maker that publishes its range test conditions. Skip it if your round trip is longer than about 10 miles, the low end of our estimate; if your streets are rough, since it has no suspension; or if you carry it up stairs every day at 41.4 lb.
