Micromobility brand Segway has announced the launch of its new Ninebot E2 Pro electric KickScooter that comes equipped with improved battery performance and other new features that look set to meet a wide range of needs for commuters.

Now available for pre-order, this model has been upgraded from its predecessor and allows users to easily locate their scooter at all times with Apple’s “Find My” function.

The E2 Pro promises to energise trips with a next-level experience

The E2 Pro eKickScooter is a major highlight of Segway’s E2 series, with optimised battery performance in comparison to its predecessor E2 Plus. The company states that it “establishes unprecedented standards in urban commuting technology at an affordable cost. It comes built with a 20% increased travel range for commuters and joy riders alike”.

“Our latest micromobility lineup represents more than just a collection of innovative products. Rather, it’s a testament to our unwavering commitment to transforming the way people navigate and experience the world. This is more than a product launch, it’s an invitation to join us in shaping the future of micromobility, enhancing the experience of every ride.”, Wayde Zhao, Segway Inc president, summarises his thoughts about the brand’s latest portfolio of micromobility products.

Built with a 750W motor and a rear-wheel drive, the E2 Pro can tackle up inclines of up to 18% with ease, reaching a top speed of 15.5 MPH. In regards to range, its optimised 42V battery goes up to 16.8 miles on a single charge, so riders have plenty of time to commute, or cruise around the local neighbourhood without concerns about being stranded. The scooter also has a 6-point Battery Management System that protects the battery during riding, charging, and storing.

It works harmoniously with Apple’s “Find My” application, so the scooter’s location can be accessed at all times for extra security and additional peace of mind. The feature has been long in demand by Segway fans because many of its previous designs have been vulnerable to theives in the past, due to simple push-start buttons on these models.

The new Segway Ninebot E2 Pro boasts more innovative features including built-in front and rear direction indicators to ensure safer travel, and an upgraded anti-skid traction control system, as well as 10-inch air-leakage-proof tubeless tires that offer improved stability. Its integrated LED dashboard has been simplified to a sleeker 2.8-inch size, for users to easily keep tabs on speed, battery levels, and riding modes at a glance.

Segway Ninebot E2 Pro is available now for pre-ordering

The E2 Pro has been discounted to a $450 pre-order price from its normal rate of $499.99, with an estimated shipping date from January 25th. Its currently only available to purchase on segway.com, but other retailers are likely to start offering this e-scooter after shipping has commenced.
