Segway ES2 Review: Ultralight Scooter for City Commutes
The Segway ES2 blends a 700 W motor and a 187 Wh battery into a 12.5 kg frame, offering a top speed of 24.9 km/h and a factory-rated range of 24.9 km. Its IP54 rating and front spring suspension handle light rain and urban bumps, while the lack of pneumatic tires means firmer rides over rough pavement. High portability earns an 8.8 score, making it ideal for mixed-mode commuters who stow it on trains or buses. However, its 1.1 range score reminds buyers to factor in rider weight, terrain and speed to avoid mid-trip surprises.
Real-World Range and Performance
While the ES2 claims 24.9 km range, real-world factors often reduce this by 10–20 %. A 75 kg rider on flat terrain at moderate speed can expect around 20 km on a full charge. Hills, strong headwinds and frequent accelerations tax the 187 Wh battery more heavily, trimming distance. Adding Segway’s second battery pack can boost range to roughly 45 km, but increases weight. For daily runs under 15 km, the stock ES2 delivers reliable performance, especially when recharged after each trip to keep voltage levels optimal.
Portability and Practical Use
At just 12.5 kg and a one-second fold mechanism, the ES2 excels on public transit and in tight storage. Its 8.8 portability score outpaces heavier commuters, letting riders carry it upstairs without effort. The front spring suspension softens minor bumps, compensating for solid tires that don’t require air checks. An IP54 rating safeguards electronics against splashes, but avoid deep puddles. Regular wipe-downs and tightening the folding latch ensure years of smooth operation. Ideal for students, office workers or anyone juggling sidewalks, subways and shared spaces.

Yes. The ES2’s lightweight design (12.5 kg), fast folding system and IP54 rating make it ideal for urban commutes under 20 km.
