Segway Ninebot C2 Lite review

The C2 Lite is the only electric scooter on this list, and it belongs here as the next step for a child who already rides a kick scooter, not as a first scooter. Segway gives it a 130W brushless motor, a 9.9 mph top speed and up to 5.6 miles or about 70 minutes of riding, with 7-inch solid rubber tires and a mechanical hand brake. The parent-friendly part is the three speed modes: Standard limits the top speed to 7.5 mph with reduced acceleration, Sport unlocks 9.9 mph, and Power Assist has no throttle at all, adding a boost to each kick so the scooter still feels like a kick scooter. Segway rates it for ages 6 to 10 and a rider height of 3'8" to 4'8", and its battery system is UL 2272 certified. It costs $142.48 on Segway's store against a $199.99 MSRP, with a 1-year limited warranty. Charging, speed and price make it a poor fit for a 4-year-old.
