Looking for a reliable, affordable entry-level commuter e-scooter? The new Segway E2 Pro is a solid pick. It replaces the now end-of-line E2 Plus and offers genuine value for city riders on a budget. You get more range, a few extra features and a noticeably better ride, all aimed at making the daily commute easier.
Getting to Know the Segway E2 Pro
The E2 Pro covers the basics you actually need in an entry-level commuter. It's not chasing top speeds or huge range numbers. It's built for consistent, dependable rides. It sits in the wider Segway Ninebot scooter range as the go-to option for new commuters.
Key Upgrades
More Power: Same 25 km/h top speed as the E2 Plus, but a stronger 350W motor delivers better peak power and improved hill climbing (18% vs 12%).
More Range: You'll cover 40 km per charge instead of 25 km, thanks to the Pro's 275 Wh battery. Charging is also quicker. The E2 Plus takes around 7.5 hours, the E2 Pro gets from zero to 100% in about 5.5.
Larger Tyres: The Pro runs 10-inch pneumatic tyres versus the E2 Plus's 8-inch hollow-out tyres. Better traction, better shock absorption.
Built-in Indicators: Paired with bright front and rear LED lights, they keep you visible on the road.
Higher Weight Capacity: At just 18.8 kg, the E2 Pro still comfortably carries riders up to 120 kg.

Special Features
Anti-Skid Traction Control System: TCS kicks in when conditions turn dodgy. Rough patch, wet road, whatever it is, it helps prevent slipping and keeps you in control.
Air-Leakage-Proof Tubeless Tyres: The larger tyres use an air-tight material that's less prone to punctures. Fewer flats, less maintenance.
Apple Find My Integration: At this price point, you also get Apple Find My built in. iPhone users can track their scooter straight from their device.
Segway E2 Pro Test Drive: Real-Life Riding Performance
Like any new arrival, our team couldn't wait to get on it. And honestly, it was a pleasant surprise. Despite being one of our most affordable beginner scooters, it feels sturdier and more refined than its price suggests.
Press the throttle and it picks up pace quickly. Acceleration feels responsive, and the scooter stays steady as speed builds.
Braking is genuinely good. You get the control you need when weaving through city traffic. And while there's no dedicated suspension, the ride stays smooth over less-than-perfect pavement. It feels more polished than the E2 Plus and holds its own against some pricier options.

The E2 Pro wins on rider load, safety features and tubeless tyre tech. The NIU KQi2 Pro is worth a look if you want a wider deck and a slicker app. The GOTRAX suits shorter commutes on a tighter budget. All three sit in the same 25 km/h class, so it really comes down to features and fit.

Who Needs the Segway E2 Pro?
For everyday commuting, it gets the important things right. The 350W motor copes well with hills, while the 40 km claimed range gives you room for regular trips. Its 120 kg load limit also suits a broader range of riders. Turn signals are included too, which some pricier scooters still skip.
It's a good pick for beginners, commuters running first-mile or last-mile trips, and anyone chasing a fair balance between price and function. If you're an experienced rider chasing high-performance thrills, look elsewhere. The speed is capped and there's no dedicated suspension, so it's not built for rugged terrain.
Wrapping Up
The E2 Pro is our pick for value entry commuter, and the honest way to know if it suits you is to try one. Pop into an Electric Kicks showroom for a test ride, or check current AUD pricing on the product page. We also price-match, so you get a fair deal plus proper local support rather than a marketplace listing.
FAQs
Is the Segway E2 Pro Waterproof?
The Segway E2 Pro carries an IPX4 water resistance rating, meaning it handles light rain and road splashes but isn't built for submersion or heavy downpours. Ride through a passing shower and you'll be fine. Avoid deep puddles, don't hose it down, and store it indoors or under cover when it's not in use.
How Fast Is the Segway E2 Pro & Is It Road Legal in Australia?
The Segway E2 Pro has a top speed of 25 km/h, which lines up with the standard e-scooter speed cap used in most Australian states. Where and how you can legally ride varies by state though, and several state e-scooter laws are under active review in 2026. Before you ride, check our guide to current Australian e-ride laws and your state or territory transport authority for the latest rules.
Does the Segway E2 Pro Have Suspension?
No, the E2 Pro doesn't have a dedicated suspension system. The 10-inch tubeless pneumatic tyres absorb most road buzz and the Anti-Skid Traction Control System helps keep the ride stable. It's plenty comfortable for smooth city commuting. If your route covers rougher surfaces, take a look at our picks for commuter scooters with suspension.
