About
Who they are.
Segway makes personal electric mobility products and connected outdoor equipment, spanning e-bikes and scooters, robotic garden tools, and ride-on toys for children. Its Ninebot line covers app-controlled scooters and e-bikes built around commuter range and suspension design, while the C2 sits within that electric mobility range. Navimow extends the company into home improvement, applying GPS-RTK positioning to robotic lawn mowing rather than traditional wired boundary systems.
Across these categories, the company is associated with app connectivity, ride comfort, and value relative to performance. Its products are typically sold and serviced through dealer networks, reflecting a design approach oriented toward riders and homeowners who want connected, feature-rich hardware backed by in-person support rather than purely direct-to-consumer service.
The verdict
Segway's robotics and e-mobility products draw mostly positive press coverage, though recent reporting on a celebrity injury and cautionary references have tempered enthusiasm. The brand maintains solid recognition across outdoor mobility categories, but its public image remains tied to both product innovation and occasional safety narratives.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What is a Segway?
Segway makes electric mopeds, scooters, and personal transporters. Reviewers say the build quality is solid, the ride is smooth and fun, and many models include app features like ride tracking and remote locking.
Are Segways still being sold?
Yes. Segway currently produces electric scooters, mopeds, robot lawn mowers, and e-bikes across multiple product lines.
What are Segway products best for?
Reviewers recommend Segway for riders who want a high-performance electric vehicle with strong construction and app-connected features, especially for commuting or casual recreational use. They work best for people who have access to a dealer for service.
What's the catch with Segway products?
When electronics fail, diagnosing the problem can require multiple component replacements and patience. Waterproofing is limited on some models, so wet conditions call for caution. The vehicles are designed not to be customized or modified, which rules out DIY repairs.
Are Segways easy to repair?
Reviewers note that the tech-heavy design makes troubleshooting complicated. When something goes wrong, owners are discouraged from modifying or customizing the vehicles themselves, so dealer service is often necessary.
Who should not buy a Segway?
Segway is not a good fit for buyers who want a simple, easy-to-repair vehicle or one built for wet, muddy, or rugged off-road conditions.
