   The media could not be loaded.  Can a scooter with a $299.99 price tag that sounds great on paper bridge the gap between riding your bike to work, possibly saving a little gas and even having some fun in the process? My short answer is: Yes it can!Value:When opening the Ninebot it is mostly assembled out of the box and after looking through the manual the only actual “assembly” was plugging in the four pin connector for the handlebars.The handlebar screws have a specific tightening order so make sure you double check the manual for that.At $299.99 you still get what feels like a solid machine; while putting the handlebars on I found myself impressed with decent fit and finish, bright headlight, larger wheels than I expected, almost sandpaper level foot surface for max traction, and many other little things that reinforces my feeling – for $299.99 you are not going to go wrong here folks as long as you managing expectations.All the little details:Speaking of details let’s talk about some – the Ninebot has lots of them and for $299 they are nice.For starters it is big enough for an adult; I’m 6’ tall and am slightly over the 220lb. weight limit of the scooter, and it fits me fine…If you have ridden a Lime scooter this will feel very similar. The handlebars grips are comfortable and grip well (although I do agree with comments about them possibly getting dirty over time). I would have liked to see green on the accelerator and red on the brake lever, but after riding you get the idea pretty quickly.The front suspension is decent for the price point, and front and rear fenders help keep anything from flying through the air. Speaking of water the Ninebot has an IPX4 water resistance which means it can take splashes and not a continuous stream of water (this is not waterproof) not that I would recommend riding this thing through puddles or in the rain; I have never had mine out when it is wet outside.Tires and “gas”/brakes:The 8” diameter tires are flat free/much better than traditional air filled in my opinion. The 250watt motor lives inside the front wheel and this also doubles as the front electronic brake. The rear wheel is open plastic spoked and the rear fender doubles as a foot brake and between the front and rear brake you can come to a stop pretty quickly.Speed and Distance:There are three speed modes you can choose from: Safety Mode which offers slightly reduced speed but the most range possible. There is also a Standard Mode, and a pretty peppy Sports mode.The display and controls are easy enough: press the only button on the scooter for a few seconds and it beeps to life with the display showing km/h (there is no MPH option available on this model), battery charge and the current mode designated by the no S/white S/red S.Battery and Charging:I have had good consistent performance from the battery, and would definitely recommend this for mostly flat terrain and the smaller the hills the better; I have tackled steeper hills but end up kicking some with my feet to keep some decent speed (hills will definitely go through the battery faster).Charging is easy and dead to full has taken 5 hours on average, and charge rate is approximately 20 percent per hour from what I have experienced so far.Portability:If you are looking for lightweight and portable the Ninebot is definitely for you – Weighing in at approximately 24.9lbs I can lift with one arm with no issue and the ability to quickly fold down it is quite portable.This easily fit into the back of my CRV, and could fit in the trunk of a car or front seat as needed with no issues.In Conclusion:In Conclusion let me say this scooter may not be for everyone, and if you are in the market please consider the following details before buying:Consider your fun just as much as practical use – I had this scooter out riding it about 10 minutes after screwing the handlebars on, and you will too.The ES1L is a great scooter, but the best I could do is 7 miles range or so in Sport mode and just under 7.5 miles in Safety mode on all level ground, so if you need more than that I would say look at an ES1 or higher.All in all I would recommend the ES1L to most people without a second thought – value, fun, economy with just enough speed, and maybe even some gas savings make this a solid choice for anyone.

   The Segway ES1L Escooter is my 2nd escooter, as I’ve previously purchased the HiBoy SL2 Pro, which I still have. The two escooters are in different classes, as the Segway is more of an entry level.After reading many reviews on the Segway ES1L, I knew what to expect before I purchased it. Still, I found myself wishing more was included with the escooter. But having paid $299 for the ES1L, I am comfortable for what I got for the money. Still, it would have been nice to have something as basic as a bell on the escooter.Pros:Design – This scooter was introduced a few years ago, but the design I feel is still modern, and even better the newer escooters costing much more.Weight – One of the reasons I purchased this escooter was I was looking for something easier to carry around than my HiBoy SL2 Pro. And at about 25 pounds, the Segway ES1L is much lighter, and more comfortable to carry.Suspension – I was pleasantly surprised by how soft the ride was over small bumps, as the tires are not air-filled, and are relatively small. There is a cheap sounding “clunking” noise that’s made when the ES1L goes over some bumps…and it can get bouncy. But it’s not a harsh ride, and I prefer it over the HiBoy, even though the HiBoy has bigger 10 inch tires, and cost $215 more.Folding – One of the easier escooters to fold. Simply step on the latch in the front, and the scooter folds. You can hook the top half to the rear fender, making the scooter very easy to carry. To open the scooter back up, just reverse those steps.Braking – The electronic brake felt pretty strong, and is easy to use.Cons:Speed – I knew before purchasing the escooter, the speed was limited to 12.4 mph (20 kph). But still, I find myself wishing it was made to reach 15-16 mph. My HiBoy goes 19-20mph.Range – Probably the most disappointing part of the escooter is the pitiful range. For a scooter that only goes 12-13 mph, it would have been nice to be able to get more than the 12.4 miles per battery charge. Real life range is most likely 7-9 miles.Safety features – Missing a tail lamp, and a bell is disappointing. I understand wanting to keep costs down, but these two features would make riding more safe, and should not have been left out. I mean, how much would it have added a bell…something tricycles come with?Neutral:Fun to ride – The ES1L is fun to ride, but the lack of speed makes it less enjoyable. There is no cruise control, which would have made the ride, greater.Who is this scooter for?The Segway ES1L is perfect for those just starting out with electronic scooters, as it’s not powerful, easy to carry, and easy to ride. The ES1L is also perfect for someone looking for an escooter for short commutes.Who would not want this scooter?If you are looking for an escooter with fast speed and/or great mileage, look elsewhere. This is a basic escooter, and is priced that way. If you are looking for an escooter to ride on busy, or active city streets, I would pass on this, as it will not be able to keep up with traffic. An exception would be if you live in a town with bike lanes, or if you are okay with not being able to keep up with traffic when riding your scooter.If there was an option to give 3.5 stars, I would have do so. But because of the $299 price, as well as the other parts of this scooter I like, I give the Segway ES1L, 4 stars. If this scooter was $350, or more, I would have given it 3 stars.

   The scooter rating will be split up to 3 categories pro’s and con’s and middlePro’s 1. Its very comfortable and it has nice suspension2. It’s front light is very bright and there’s a brake light that blinks every time you reverse.3. The scooter isn’t as very loud and it doesn’t make any sound.4. Its standing pad is very largeMiddle’s,1. The speed is average2. It’s price for it is expensive but not to expensiveCon’s1. It’s battery life isn’t as long as another scooter I had which I had that lasted for almost 4 hours2. Its a lot slower then other scooters3. It’s pretty heavy for an average electric scooter4. The braking is ABSOLUETELY HORRIBLE, the breaking takes around 5 seconds for the scooter going at full speed to completely stop, and the braking doesn’t even work when its not moving so I can’t keep it in place, rather than an electric brake I would recommend a regular bike brake where you can control the amount of force and you can brake the scooter so it doesn’t roll down a hillOther then that I don’t really recommend this scooter since there can and will be better, faster, scooters for less or more, its just the fact that Ninebot is a pretty famous electric scooter brand but yet they use most of there funds on an electric break that barely works.
