The Ninebot Segway Air T15 certainly looks the business, but it’s smaller, slower and lacks the range of similarly priced competitors. For those who want to easily fit it in the boot of a car or take it on public transport, it’s absolutely perfect and provides a perfectly acceptable ride if the surfaces are smooth and you don’t have too many steep hills to contend with.
The lightweight body, diminutive package and smart storage solution mean there’s a trade-off in performance, but the Ninebot Segway Air T15 packs the essentials with smart extras and a stylish smartphone app. Choosing between this and its many competitors will depend on the type of use it is intended for and whether you really need this futuristic design.

Built by renowned electric mobility brand Segway, the Ninebot Segway E25E is one of the more successful entries on this list. The E25E is another great all-rounder. Its 300W motor helps it achieve a very reasonable 15.5 mph (it’s usually limited by law) and a very respectable 15.5 mile range. If that’s not enough, you have the option of adding an external battery for even more range.
It’s also well presented, with a sturdy and comfortable footrest, bump-absorbing dual-density wheels and a neat one-click folding design that means it doesn’t take up too much space.
The thumb throttle controls your speed, and there are three ways to stop: let off the throttle using the electric front brake, or step on the wing brake to slow things down really quickly.
It’s a multi-functional scooter with an advanced smartphone app that lets you customize every aspect of your ride, view ride metrics, and check the vehicle’s health. You also get cruise control, all-round active lighting, independent front and rear suspension, IP54 water resistance and a crisp LCD display.
