Why You Can Trust CNET Roll on up to save up to $120 on a Segway scooter or self-balancing transporter
These scooters have the range to get you back and forth to the grocery store, and can get you out of the house in the Age of Corona.
Some retailers are seeing a spike in scooter sales. Why would that be? Well, during the current pandemic, personal transports are a great way to get around town while practicing social distancing in the open air -- something many of us are getting all too little of these days. So rather than driving a mile to the grocery store to see if it has any yeast packets (spoiler alert: probably not), hop on an electric scooter instead.
Wellbots is leaning into the surge in scooter sales by offering discount codes on a handful of Segway Ninebot models. Depending on the model, you can save as much as $120 on an electric scooter or $70 on a Segway Ninebot S, a two-wheeled self-balancing transporter. Here are the details.
The Segway ES4 Electric Scooter is billed as an offroad scooter, equipped with front and rear shock absorbers for a smoother ride over uneven terrain and at higher speeds. Packing both an internal and external rechargeable battery, it has a top speed of about 19 mph and a range of an impressive 28 miles. You can save $120 on the ES4 when you apply coupon code CNETRIDE at checkout.
The Segway ES2 Electric Scooter is a speedy scooter that's ideal for commuters and quick trips to pick up groceries or take-out from the neighborhood stores. It offers a top speed of 15.5 mph and a range of 15 miles. It weighs 27 pounds and folds up so you can carry it onto mass transit, fit in a car trunk or store it in the corner of your coat closet. You can save $100 on the ES2 when you apply coupon code CNETSCOOT at checkout.
The Segway Ninebot S is most like the first self-balancing Segways you recall from the early 2000s. A true self-balancing transporter, it's easy to ride -- just step on and lean to control it, using your knees to influence the steering column -- that think that looks like a seat but isn't. You can save $70 on the Ninebnot S when you apply coupon code CNETROAD at checkout.
