The Segway ES2 electric scooter from Segway\/Ninebot<\/a> is an upgraded model from its successor the ES1 which both have had very successful sales numbers since their release in late 2017.<\/p>\n

This has been one of the greatest things to happen the electric scooter community in quite some time and there are some good improvements to the ES2 that makes up for the difference in price between the two scooters.<\/p>\n

The best part with the Segway scooters is that you can easily upgrade them with an externally mounted battery-pack and get a lot more out of them.<\/p>\n

Review<\/h2>\n

The ES2 offers<\/a> users more power in terms of watt, a 300W hub motor, instead of the 250W mounted on the ES1. This motor has a peak power of 600W.<\/p>\n

For more information about each of the Segway\/Ninebot, electric scooter models read our comparison between the ES1, ES2, and ES4 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The motor mounted in the front tire delivers a top speed of 15.5 mph and with the high-quality lithium battery, it can provide a maximum distance per charge of 15.5 miles.<\/p>\n

If my calculations are correct, which they usually are, the battery powering the scooter is a 36V\/5.2Ah lithium-ion battery. The way I calculate Ampere hours is Wh(187)\/V(36) = Ah. There was no information about battery size on the Segway homepage<\/a> so I had to calculate it on my own, basing it on a 36V system.<\/p>\n

It has a rear suspension system and a front shock mounted just above the front tire that helps a lot in reducing some of the bumps coming from the fairly small hard rubber tires.<\/p>\n

\"Seen<\/p>\n

A good-sized scooter that is very visible during the night thanks to the rear lights and the LED-lights mounted underneath the footpad. The headlight provides you with great visibility during night time riding and the scooter itself is very easy to control.<\/p>\n

The scooter is somewhat lightweight with its 28 pounds and it can be easily folded and unfolded in seconds. A great improvement they made to the folding system of the ES1 is that the thing you press down in order to get the scooter to fold can now be hidden. On the ES1 it stands out all the time, on this model you can instead fold it out of the way.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

It has a very easy to read LCD display providing you with real-time data like speed, battery level, and ODOmeter. It has built-in Bluetooth so you can download the Ninebot mobile application (IOS \/ Android) and adjust things like speed and the regenerative braking settings to your liking. There you can also see the real-time data and historical data of your electric scooter and also update the software(firmware) to the latest version with the click of a button.<\/p>\n

A sophisticated and smart electric scooter that will find its way into many people’s lives and daily commutes<\/a> over the coming years.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe ES2 provides its user with good speed and a decent distance per charge, enough to handle most one-way commutes. The best part of this scooter is the ability to purchase a battery upgrade. An external battery that increases top speed to 18.6 mph and distance 27 miles. A good initial scooter purchase that gives you the option to upgrade it to a long distance scooter at will.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
