Segway Ninebot E2 Plus electric vehicle

Description

The Segway Ninebot E2 Plus is part of Segway’s entry-level E2 family of commuter kick-scooters, sitting above the base E2 and below the E2 Pro and the later E2 Plus II refresh. It pairs a single 300 W front hub motor (rated to 500 W peak) with a compact 220 Wh battery, giving a manufacturer-rated top speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph) and an advertised range of around 25 km. The nominal battery voltage is 21.6 V with 10.2 Ah of capacity, and a full charge takes roughly 7.5 hours. The deck rides on 8.1-inch inner hollow (honeycomb-style) tires that Segway markets as puncture-proof and maintenance-free, splitting the difference between solid and pneumatic rubber for shock absorption without flats. Braking combines a front electronic/regenerative brake with a rear mechanical drum brake. The original E2 Plus has no suspension and is rated IPX4 for splash resistance. A color dashboard shows speed and battery, and the scooter connects to the Segway-Ninebot app for locking, speed modes, ambient lighting and firmware updates. At roughly 14.4 kg it folds for storage and carrying. It is positioned by reviewers as a simple, family-friendly first scooter rather than a performance machine.

Model history

The E2 Plus launched in 2023 as part of Segway-Ninebot’s redesigned entry-level E2 commuter series, which spans the base E2, the E2 Plus, the longer-range E2 Pro, and a later E2 Plus II refresh that added front spring suspension. The line targets first-time riders and families, emphasizing maintenance-free hollow tires, app connectivity and a light folding chassis over outright speed or range. Segway-Ninebot, formed when Ninebot acquired the original Segway Inc. in 2015, is one of the largest makers of personal electric transport, and the E2 family represents its mainstream commuter offering.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Maintenance-free, puncture-proof 8.1-inch inner hollow tires
  • Light folding chassis at roughly 14.4 kg for easy carrying and storage
  • App control for locking, speed modes and firmware updates
  • Dual braking with front electronic and rear drum brakes
  • UL-2272 certified build with solid Segway-Ninebot fit and finish

Cons

  • No suspension on the original E2 Plus, so ride comfort relies on the tires
  • Modest 220 Wh battery limits real-world range to well under the advertised figure
  • Independent testing shows range closer to 17 km than the rated 25 km
  • 25 km/h top speed and 300 W motor make it underpowered on steeper hills
  • Front hub motor offers limited torque compared with rear-drive rivals

Verdict

The E2 Plus is a straightforward entry-level commuter built around maintenance-free tires, app features and a light folding frame. It suits short urban trips and first-time or younger riders who value simplicity and low upkeep, but its modest battery, lack of suspension and front hub motor mean it is not aimed at long commutes, hills or experienced riders seeking performance.

What reviewers say

  • The 8.1“ hollow tires provide a nice ride experience that splits the difference between solid and pneumatic tires.

  • The E2 scooters are definitely not the fastest commuters you can get, but you get a decent power.
