NINEBOT-SEGWAY E25E ELECTRIC Scooter

The original Ninebot-Segway ES2 Kickscooter was released in late 2017 but only came to people's attention in Europe when electric scooter hire company Lime put 1000s of them on our streets. It fared less well in the private ownership market due to the success of the cheaper Xiaomi M365, but Ninebot has now released two new versions of the ES2 - without really telling people. 

The Ninebot-Segway E25E is a foldable electric scooter designed by Segway, the American brand that was bought by Chinese firm Ninebot (hence the double-barreled name) in 2015. It is based on the original ES2 and looks almost identical, though is slightly bigger. To confuse matters, Ninebot actually manufactures the scooters for Xiaomi too. Although Segway had a heads-tart on both Ninebot and Xiaomi, and had claimed copyright infringement against Ninebot before being bought out by them, it now feels to me like Segway is little more than a brand name that Ninebot will eventually ditch once its own name is well enough known in the West.

It has been proven that e-vehicles not only ease traffic congestion but produce lower carbon emissions, which should be prioritised as our cities grow. E-scooters like Bolzzen Atom Lite are selling good number of units in Australia.
