Get a Ninebot for less than $500 or score the best gift for your kids—a self-balancing scooter—for under $300. Motorized Scooter For Adults
For this year’s Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, the sales event running today, October 10, through tomorrow, October 11, Amazon Prime members get access to some of the best deals of the year, from home projectors to TVs to editor-recommended tools. It’s the perfect opportunity to think about treating yourself to something that’ll make your commute a little more fun: an electric scooter.
Segway is a leader in the electric scooter space, winning our best overall designation for its Ninebot Max—which is currently 35 percent off for Prime members. The Max is our top pick because of its range, speed, and affordability (today it’s under $500).
At an even steeper discount, the Segway SuperScooter GT is an absolute tank. This scooter has dual suspension, goes for 56 miles, and speeds up to 43 miles per hour—yes, you read that right. It’s usually $4,000, but Prime members can get the SuperScooter for $2,699 today—that’s 33 percent off one of the heaviest-duty electric scooters on the market.
The affordable Segway Ninebot ES clocks in at $480 for Prime members and has some of the best safety features of the scooters we recommend. It’s a good pick for teens, with a top speed of 19 miles per hour and plenty of range to get to school and back home for dinner. It’s on sale for 44 percent off now.
If you’re more into the traditional Segway design, the self-balancing Ninebot S Max is discounted 33 percent, clocking in at $800 for the handle-less vehicle. There’s also the kids’ Ninebot S—another self-balancing scooter, but with a smaller battery than the Max—on sale for 46 percent off, which clocks in at $250 for the best Christmas gift ever.
Our recommendation for the electric scooter with the best suspension, the Navee S65C, is discounted $180 for Prime members during October’s Prime Day event—that’s just over $700 for a vehicle that can speed up to 30 miles per hour, runs for 40 miles between charges, and can comfortably handle bumps in your ride. This electric scooter has built-in drive modes that help you get the most out of your battery—our reviews editor used his to commute from Williamsburg to Midtown for work with no problem. It looks good, too, fitting in easily next to electric bikes in the office parking lot.
