Whether or not shared e-scooter companies like Bird and Lime will make a full recovery after the pandemic decimated the on-street rental model remains to be seen. But we already know one thing: these e-scooters — perfect for that last mile of your commute, and turning any and all errands into welcome excursions instead of chores — are more than worth adding to your personal cache of high-tech toys.
That’s why you’ll want to take note of the huge sale at Amazon’s Woot, where refurbished models of Segway’s excellent Ninebot KickScooters are up to 58% off through the weekend, or until they sell out. (Since it’s an Amazon affair, Prime members get free shipping.)
Whether you’re looking for a basic model or a top-of-the-line scooter experience, Segway has a discounted vehicle for you. At the upper end, there’s the ES3, which has a top speed of 15.5 mph, 28-mile range and power to handle a 15% grade, and is down from $700 to $330. In the middle, there’s the ES2: 15.5 mph top speed, 15.5-mile range and 10% hill grade, a well-reviewed model down from $650 to $300. And then there’s the ES1 (Gen 2), which has the same specs as the ES2 but is a little heavier with an older design. And if you’re not sure about the whole refurbished thing (though it’s nothing to be worried about, and a boon for the planet), the MAX G30LP is on sale for $135 off in new condition, and beats all the others in total performance with an 18.6 mph top speed, 25-mile range and 20% hill grade capability.
