Segway Ninebot F3: the case against
- 44-mile claim is more than double what 477 Wh realistically delivers
- Eight-hour charge is slow for a daily commuter
- Rear suspension is a rubber damper, not a spring or hydraulic unit
- Smaller pack than the Max G2 it is often cross-shopped against
NIU KQi 300P: the case against
- Same 486 Wh pack as the KQi3 Pro pushing a bigger scooter — 21.4 miles tested
- Physically large; owners report it barely fits a compact car's boot
- Front suspension only
- 46 lb with no carry handle designed for it
