Overview
A new rider or daily commuter gets a self-balancing scooter with a height-adjustable control, off-road tires and tail and wheel lights. The Segway app manages a Beginner mode that can be tuned to your skill and later switched off or reset.
App control is what sets the S2 apart: Beginner mode can be shaped to your pace, then lifted once you feel confident. Tubeless tires and a wide rider height range make it usable by teens and adults of many builds. Its heft and modest rider weight rating are the limits to weigh.
Who it's for
Short urban commutes, campus rides and paved paths with patches of grass suit the S2. Heavier adults and people who need something easy to lift onto a bus or train should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- App-adjustable Beginner mode for learning
- Height-adjustable control for many rider sizes
- Tubeless off-road tires
- UL safety certification
- Heavy to lift into a car trunk
- Rider weight limit excludes heavier adults
- Water resistance rating not listed
- App needed to change riding modes
Performance notes
Range and climbing depend on rider weight, slope and how hard you accelerate, because the drive system works harder on inclines and drains the battery faster. Beginner mode limits response until you clear it in the app, so early rides feel slower. Tubeless tires absorb rough patches on uneven ground.
