Segway - F2 Pro

I have the Segway F2 and this thing is a tank. 300 miles in and she has been a loyal buddy to me. It has traction control for slippery weather, apple findmy so you can locate the scooter and a bunch of other cool shit in the app. It goes 19 MPH and that is FANTASTIC! Make sure to wear HELMET!!!!

meh, speed isn't everything. I'd rather have something reliable that I know is going to work every time I turn it on, and it's affected by things like rain. That said, Segways are extremely reliable, g30p is about $600 now, G2Max has been available recently for $799 and it adds suspension and little higher top speed as well as blinkers. The f2pro might hit that $500ish price point too.

Depends on the overall budget though. College students don't necessarily want to sent or have the money to spend on a higher end scooter, esp when there are decent dependable scooters that may not go 50mph with a range of 90 miles. College students are going to have issues of storage and theft as primary concerns. So spending over $1k for something that could easily grt stolen makes zero sense. You're really better of getting something that is cheaper and reliable and speed doesn't have to be king nor does everyone want speed to be king. Add that it has zero to do with masculinity as you're trying to make it put to be. You're not a little girl if you don't want to go 50mph+, you just want a quicker commute and do it safely. Some people have balance issues and the faster you go the more dangerous it becomes. So something like those entry/mid level segways are amazing options because they aren't made for speed but dependability. And no, it doesn't have to be a tradeoff, but often times is.

at what point do you think I'm the OP? My experience and a lot of peoples that for the money, the Segways are some of the most dependable on the market and aren't built for speed. Some people are going to really like that aspect of it. Probably esp a college student on a budget.

I have had the F2 Pro for about 4 months and it's been good to me.

Had a Gyroor that was bought in May 2023. It had issues, I wrote them and asked where I could find replacement parts. They said the line has been discontinued and no parts exist soooo… never doing that again. I want a scooter brand that is easy to find parts on. We bought a Segway Ninebot F2 Pro and so far love it more. Better handling, rides higher, app that works, no card to unlock the scooter, smooth ride.

I would recommend a refurbished F2/F2 Pro if it's available in your region. You will save ton of money for mostly the same features. I just got mine F2 Pro refurb it's a fantastic deal.

Why what? :D Yes I bought f2 pro from Ninebot refurbished for $800 AUD. New was $1400 AUD. THat's why :D

looks like it has a single motor "With its **powerful 450-watt motor**" unless Im wrong I would say this would not be a great hill climber.

yeah, I see what you mean it does say "Its **powerful 450-watt motor with a max output of 900 watts**" its possible it can peak at higher watt, but in my experience this is only slightly more powerful than a lime scooter. I would go dual motor for sure.

Same. I have the F2 Pro and love it. I arrive at work without the sweat on hot days.

Can't help you about reviews, but I *can* tell you - from the tech specs and from user reports here - that E-series Ninebots below the E3 Pro aren't actually very good. They have weak powertrains and tiny ranges and they'll choke on any uphill; personally I'd avoid them all. The E3 Pro specifically is the only one with a half-decent powertrain; I'd imagine that's why people have more things to say about it. I *would* choose a Xiaomi 5 before any E-series, but I'd choose a Ninebot F3, cheaper F2, or even the older G30 before the Xiaomi 5.

I love my 9bot F2 Pro. Not too expensive, great quality and ride, with well built, and company supported peace of mind.
