Segway Ninebot Air T15 Electric Kick Scooter, Lightweight and Portable, Innovative Step-Control, White

Stop selling defective scooter!
I am extremely disappointed with this seller. This scooter fails to charge or turn on, and this issue has occurred with another Air T15 that I purchased several months ago. It has been a persistent problem, and I am appalled that the seller is not taking any action to address or prevent such issues. My frustration is primarily directed towards this seller. I reached out to Ninbot Technical Service, and they informed me that the seller named “The Thrifty Posey” is not an authorized dealer. It is not surprising, given the name itself. I am furious because Amazon hides the seller’s name and information. When I clicked on the product I purchased, it was listed as sold from the Segway store. This was a total lie.If the scooter is not defective, I actually really enjoyed it. I really like the sleek design and the way that it’s being displayed when you’re not using it’s very compact and beautifully designed. The battery doesn’t last for too long but it’s still reasonable for casual using. I’ve used it for a year and I like it a lot so I purchased another one for my friend as a birthday present. Who would have known that it’s been such an disappointing purchase experience. I have tried to purchase her the same scooter three times in the past year. The first package was stolen and the second and third package appeared to have the same technical issue.

Perfect for a very specific user, but not at full price
Pros:Lightweight (23lb) compared to many other limited range/entry level scooters (33lbs)Shorter, so fits in a Miata trunk which no other adult Segway model did.Compact, even the handlebars fold down so it transports well on crowded train, even in front of you while sitting if necessary.Easy to roll like a dolly when folded.One click switch to fold/unfold is awesome.Rear fender step to power on/off is awesome.Kind of a gimmick but I use it – the packaging doubles as a stand.Cons:Realistically 5.5 mile range is very limitingTop speed maxes at 12mph which is all you’d want to do on these solid tiny tires.Requires smooth uncracked surface or ride is really rough.Almost unusable on moderate hills.Small scooter so over six foot tall people probably shouldn’t consider.Super cool lighting display option to choose any color (go purple!) is only effective if you connect to the app every ride otherwise it is default red.The cons are the result of this being a very specific purpose built scooter. If you have a very predictable scooter commute and don’t need much more than 5 miles of range per trip (or have a charger at your destination), your scooter path is flat and well paved but wouldn’t be safe at faster than 12mph, your commute involves a crowded train AND a compact two seat car with a child seat and a tiny trunk, AND you can get this on sale or used for no more than $250 you’ll be very pleased with the purchase.Otherwise, and especially if space isn’t as big a consideration, just get a slightly larger heavier but more comfortable scooter (pneumatic tires) with a much better range and a little better top speed for the 3-400 dollar range.I use the T15 for my driving/scooting/train work commute where I also charge at work, but have a separate larger scooter (Segway F35) for more unpredictable terrain and/or longer rides.Kudos to the designers though, who took a very specific and limiting brief and knocked it out of the park. I find delight in objects that are purpose built rather than built to appeal to the largest possible audience (see the Miata). Too bad there isn’t a big enough audience for this (or almost any audience at full price) but at least it existed for a bit. And as batteries get better, I hope what they found in creating the T15 informs design decisions of future models.

For just around 300CAD (not including tax) this is a very practical e-scooter from Segway. I knew from the researched I’ve done on this model that it is catered to a niche set of user, particularly to those that need a ‘last mile of commute’ solution. As an example, my commute to work takes 2 rides of bus and a walk for around 1km. I am using my e-skateboard for the last kilometer. However, I wanted an e-scooter for a safer and more weather proof ride (to an extent, like light rain and light snow) that’s why I decided to purchase the Air T15.The T15 has a rated max. speed: approx. 12.4 mph (20 km/h) with typical range: approx. 7.5 miles (12 km) and rated payload of 66.1–220.5 lbs (30.0–100.0 kg). It also has 4 different speed modes to choose from:Pedestrian – max speed of 3.7 mph (6 km/h)Eco (Energy Saving) – max speed of 6.2 mph (10 km/h)Standard – max speed of 9.3 mph (15 km/h)Sport – max speed of 12.4 mph (20 km/h)It also has nice features such as 15% Hill Grade, IPX4 Water-Resistant, Cruise Control, Built-In Front and Rear LED Lights. It’s relatively lightweight (23 lbs / 10.4 kg) compared to other e-scooter in its category. It is ultra-portable since it folds completely in half, even the handlebars retract for a flat and compact form-factor for easy transport while using mass transits.Shout-out to Hyper Mega Electronics for this great deal on the Air T15, their customer service is very accommodating on my inquiries prior to my purchase; the shipping is fast and on-time as well :)**I will update this product review upon actual usage of the Air T15 for a week or so, to share my thoughts about its real world performance (speed, ride comfort, stability, battery life etc.)

I like this scooter because I like slower and more relax ride. Tue charging is quick and the battery last for about 7km when you see half of the battery is gone. This scooter can’t overcome a small slope or uphill of 10 degree. So it’s only good to ride on a dedicated smooth and flat bike lane. Not very good on sidewalk. Bumpy ride. But the look is sleek. I enjoy it.

Got an used one and only got 20% off, just lazy to return it so will keep it. But at least it works.
