The Best Christmas Gift of 2023: the Segway C2 Pro Kids’ E-Scooter

The search for the ultimate Christmas gift is on! We know how difficult it is—despite having more choices than ever—to top last year’s presents. It starts as a race to find that one gift that will make your kids go “wow,” and then before you know it, it’s Christmas…and you have no choice but to settle for whatever is available.

Well, worry no more. We have you covered.

If you have kids and teenagers who are notoriously hard to find gifts for, we have the perfect Christmas present sitting right here at Electric Kicks: the Segway-Ninebot C2 Pro kids’ electric scooter.

Segway-Ninebot C2 Pro: For Kids of All Ages

Segway C2 Pro

Manufactured by none other than Segway-Ninebot, the C2 Pro is this year’s best electric scooter for kids, bar none. It is equipped with just the right amount of power, speed, and range, ensuring a fun and safe ride that encourages exploration and adventure. 

Like Goldilocks’ third bowl of porridge, the C2 Pro is just right. It’s neither too big nor too small, not too slow nor too fast for budding riders. It’s perfect for kids who are too tall for most children’s scooters but are too young for regular e-scooters. 

But the C2 Pro is not just for children. While ideal for kids aged 9 and up, the C2 Pro is also great for teenagers—all thanks to its adjustable stem and handlebar with three height levels: 88.4 cm, 96 cm, and 103.4 cm. With a quick button press, you can easily raise or lower the stem to suit riders ranging from 3'8" to 5'6" tall.

This makes sharing among siblings so easy…unless, of course, if each child prefers an e-scooter of their own, which is a whole other story!

Only have one child? The C2 Pro’s adjustable handlebar is not just designed for sharing. Instead, it allows the e-scooter to grow along with your child so you won’t have to worry about replacing it every year. 

If your curiosity has been piqued and you’re eager to learn more about the C2 Pro’s impressive features, keep reading.

Why You Need to Get the C2 Pro for Your Kids

The Segway-Ninebot C2 Pro is designed to provide both fun for kids and peace of mind for you. Discover why it’s the perfect match for your family.

Completely Safe and Reliable

Whether it’s for a young child or a teenager, safety is always the top consideration when choosing a Christmas gift. That said, the C2 Pro has premium build quality, automotive- grade components, and has undergone rigorous testing—a 3000-km real-world road test and 100-drop test—to guarantee its durability. 

High Water Resistance

The C2 Pro is also suitable for outdoor use in most weather conditions, as it sports an IPX4 water-resistance rating (and a higher IPX6 rating for its battery pack). 

An IPX4 rating means the scooter’s body is protected against splashes from any direction. So, if your child rides through light rain or accidentally glides over a shallow puddle, rest assured that the splashes won’t result in water damage. 

(But let us take this chance to remind you that the C2 Pro is not waterproof; thus, refrain from submerging it in water or riding it through a heavy downpour.)

Strong Brakes

Moving on, if you are worried about the stopping power on the C2 Pro, don’t be. It features an efficient mechanical drum brake that brings the e-scooter to a smooth and controlled stop with a simple squeeze on the lever. 

Aside from the reliable drum brake, the C2 Pro also incorporates anti-clamp intervals over the whole scooter body. These act as a safety mechanism that keeps the electric scooter from suddenly or unexpectedly accelerating. 

No Zero-Start Function

Unlike regular electric scooters, the C2 Pro does not have a zero-start function, so it won’t suddenly accelerate if your child accidentally hits the throttle. Instead, getting the C2 Pro to move requires a kickstart—this means your child would have to kick the scooter off first and then press the throttle for it to start.

Safe and Ergonomic Design

The C2 Pro’s construction is smooth and solid all throughout with no sharp edges to worry about. Plus, it has extra-grippy thermo-plastic (TPR) handlebar grips, which make the electric scooter easier and more comfortable to steer.

It also has a large 2.8-inch screen that clearly displays the electric scooter’s current speed and battery level.

Versatile With Three Riding Modes

We have already established how the C2 Pro grows along with your child (or can be easily shared among siblings) because of its adjustable handlebar. 

But aside from that, the C2 Pro is a versatile e-scooter because of its riding modes, which are made possible by its responsive throttle. These are the three riding modes that suit different skill levels:

  • Standard mode: Capped at 15 kph, this riding mode provides a gentle introduction for young riders and beginners.
  • Power-assisting mode: Reaching the e-scooter’s 20-kph max speed, this mode is designed for fun and steady cruising around the neighbourhood. 
  • Sport mode: Also reaching 20 kph, the sport mode is for teenagers and experienced riders who seek more excitement out of their rides.

These riding modes ensure that the Segway-Ninebot C2 Pro remains a perfect match for your kids as their riding skills improve and their interests evolve. 

A Parent-Approved Ride

If you’re concerned about maintaining the C2 Pro, know that this electric scooter is fitted with low-maintenance 7-inch hollow and puncture-proof tyres. This means you won’t have to worry about flats—no matter where your kids take their ride. 

The C2 Pro comes with the official Segway-Ninebot app, which allows you to control the electric scooter’s speed. Using the app, you can override the stock top speed and set your own maximum speed limit, which applies to all speed modes. So, for instance, if you set a limit of 16 kph, your child cannot exceed this speed even if they choose to switch to Sport mode.

Finally, if you enjoy exploring places together as a family, you can easily take the C2 Pro with you on trips because it only weighs 10.7 kg. Because it also features Segway-Ninebot’s quick one-step folding mechanism, you can easily store it in your car, in your camper, or at home. 

The Coolest Scooter on the Block

In case you’re still on the fence about the C2 Pro, its eye-catching design will likely seal the deal. Your kids will be amazed by the electric scooter’s sleek look—a far cry from childish kiddie scooters—and cool 256-colour RGB ambient lighting, which actually syncs with their riding speed.

But it’s not just the lighting that will turn heads around the neighbourhood. The C2 Pro also has a Bluetooth speaker that your kids can use for two purposes: intelligent voice assistance and music playback. 

The intelligent voice assistance offers guidance and helpful safety reminders. Meanwhile, the music playback feature makes the C2 Pro even more fun, allowing your kids to ride to their favourite tunes. And as the music plays, the RGB ambient lights flash to the beat!

An Equally Good Alternative: Segway Zing C8

Segway Zing C8

Without a doubt, the Segway-Ninebot C2 Pro deserves a spot at the top of your Christmas shopping list this year, but if you are seeking another alternative (perhaps one that’s tailored for smaller children), consider its sibling: the Segway-Ninebot Zing C8.

Designed for children between 6 to 12 years old, the Zing C8 is even lighter at only 9 kg. It’s powered by a 120W motor that allows your child to ride as fast as 16 kph and cover up to 10 km in mileage. But despite being ultra-lightweight, the Zing C8 is solid in construction and can safely accommodate riders up to 50 kg.
