Segway’s new Ninebot eKickScooter C2 Lite is targeted at kids who have not yet mastered operating a throttle control and nervous parents who want to limit the top speed for a young rider who’s still learning.

The eKickScooter C2 Lite also offers three different speed modes designed to match a child’s riding proficiency:

Segway’s new Ninebot eKickScooter C2 Lite is targeted at kids who have not yet mastered operating a throttle control and nervous parents who want to limit the top speed for a young rider who’s still learning.
Designed for kids between six and 10 years old and who are under 110 pounds, the eKickScooter C2 Lite has a smaller frame that’s easier and safer for children to operate than a larger scooter designed for adults. The eKickScooter C2 Lite also offers three different speed modes designed to match a child’s riding proficiency:
After a full 5.5-hour charge, the eKickScooter C2 Lite has a range of around 5.6 miles in sport mode and a runtime of about 70 minutes. It includes a mechanical hand brake, which kids may already be familiar with using on a bicycle, and LEDs on the underside can project one of 256 different colors on the ground as it’s being ridden, improving visibility when it’s dark outside.
It’s available now through Segway’s online store for $199.99, with one additional peace of mind feature for parents: the scooter is also IPX4 water resistant, so if it gets abandoned on the driveway after a ride and caught in a light rain, there should be no risk of damage.
