So, you're thinking about hopping on the electric scooter bandwagon? Smart move. They’re zippy, eco-friendly, and perfect for dodging traffic in the city jungle. But not all e-scooters are created equal. We’ve put four top models through real-world stress tests—commutes, hills, potholes, and even a surprise drizzle—to bring you the ultimate showdown.
Kickoff: The Contenders
We tested the Xiaomi Pro 3, Segway Ninebot MAX G2, Unagi Model One, and NIU KQi3. All solid players, but which one wins your daily ride?
Ride Quality & Comfort: Who Smooths the Bumps?
Riding over cracked sidewalks or gravel paths? You want suspension—or at least decent tires. Here’s how they stack up:
| Model | Tire Type | Suspension | Ride Score (1-10) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Pro 3 | Inflatable (8.5") | Rear only | 7.5 |
| Segway MAX G2 | Inflatable (10") | Dual (front & rear) | 9.0 |
| Unagi Model One | Solid Polymer | None | 6.0 |
| NIU KQi3 | Inflatable (8.5") | Rear only | 7.0 |
Winner? Segway MAX G2. Its 10-inch tires and dual suspension eat rough roads for breakfast. Unagi’s solid tires look sleek but feel every pebble.
Battery Life: Who Lasts the Long Haul?
We drained each battery on mixed terrain (flat roads, inclines, stop-and-go). Real-world range matters—especially if your commute isn’t exactly point-A-to-point-B.
- Segway MAX G2: Advertised 45 miles, achieved 38. That’s still king-tier.
- Xiaomi Pro 3: 28-mile claim, hit 24. Solid mid-range.
- NIU KQi3: 30 miles on paper, delivered 26. Efficient motor helps.
- Unagi Model One: 15.5 miles claimed, managed 12. Cute, but not for long trips.
Portability: Can You Actually Carry It?
Ever lugged a scooter up three flights of stairs? Yeah, weight matters. Here’s the lift test:
| Model | Weight (lbs) | Fold Time (sec) | Carry Comfort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Pro 3 | 33.5 | 8 | Good handle, balanced |
| Segway MAX G2 | 43.9 | 10 | Heavy, needs two hands |
| Unagi Model One | 22.5 | 5 | Light as a feather |
| NIU KQi3 | 36.4 | 7 | Compact fold, okay grip |
If you’re hauling it daily, Unagi is unbeatable. But it sacrifices range and comfort. Trade-offs, folks.
The Verdict: Who Wins?
Best Overall: Segway Ninebot MAX G2 – Longest range, smoothest ride, durable. Heavy? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
Best for City Commuters: Xiaomi Pro 3 – Balanced performance, great value.
Best for Style & Portability: Unagi Model One – Sleek, light, Instagram-ready. Just don’t plan cross-town trips.
At the end of the day, match your scooter to your lifestyle. Need range and resilience? Go Segway. Want something light and quick? Unagi’s your buddy. Just remember: check local laws, wear a helmet, and maybe avoid pothole jousting.
