Segway-Ninebot E10 and E8 electric scooters for kids launch in Australia

Gotta say, I love the electric scooters. The hop on, scoot away, simplicity of getting from A to B concept is perfected with one of these.

Taking cars off the roads, it’s a winner on so many fronts. Now you can take the kids with you for a scoot with the Segway-Ninebot eKickScooter E8 and E10 available in Australia.

The E8 is $499, the E10 is $579.

George Saad, Chief Operating Officer of Panmi which distribute the products in Australia says “Segway-Ninebot’s E8 and E10 eKickScooters are made for children ensuring they can cruise in style. Kids will go crazy for these new scooters in different colours. This new toy for kids will generate fun for the whole family. It allows kids to exercise and gain new skills. Children can ride alongside their parents and with their friends.”

These aren’t bland either. They come in vibrant colours and designs, they’ve got a sleek looking design and are packed with safety.

Unlike traditional “adult” electric scooters, the harder you kick the faster it accelerates so no need to use the throttle.

The cheaper E8 goes up to 12km/h and the E10 goes to 16km/h and they both have around a 10km range.

Tubeless tyres, triple brakes including the rear fenders – there’s a lot in these scooters.

Weighing in at 8kg and 8.5kg respectively, the E8 and E10 are easy to carry around.

JB HiFi is stocking the E8 from Segway-Ninebot at $499, Harvey Norman has the E10 at $579.
