The Segway-Ninebot Ninebot F3 Pro E is a standout option for those looking for a robust and efficient electric scooter for urban commuting. Below, we offer a detailed review based on available tests and specifications.

Design and Comfort

The F3 Pro E is equipped with hydraulic front suspension and elastomer rear suspension, providing a smooth ride even on uneven surfaces such as cobblestones or bricks. The 10-inch self-repairing tubeless tires improve stability and reduce maintenance, as they can automatically seal small punctures. The wide 180 x 510 mm footrest provides enough space for a comfortable and secure position.

Braking and Safety System

The scooter features disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, complemented by a regenerative electronic brake, ensuring efficient braking from 25 km/h to 0 in approximately 2.5 meters. It includes a 6W automatic headlight that adjusts to lighting conditions, improving visibility and safety while riding.

Technology and Connectivity

The F3 Pro E is packed with communication features and features a 2.4-inch smart TFT display that left us very happy, as it barely affects visibility in sunlight and provides real-time information, including integrated navigation and incoming call notifications. Segway AirLock technology allows the scooter to unlock via Bluetooth when approaching, and is compatible with Apple Find My, making it easier to locate if lost.

Performance and Range

The high-torque brushless motor reaches a maximum power of 1200 W, allowing a person weighing 90 kg to accelerate from 0 to 25 km/h in about 3.5 seconds, allowing the F3 Pro E to tackle inclines of up to 24% without difficulty. According to the manufacturer, the theoretical range is up to 70 km in Eco mode (at 15 km/h) and around 50 km in Sport mode (at 25 km/h). It's important to note that these figures may vary depending on actual usage conditions, such as rider weight, terrain, and weather conditions. Additionally, there is the option of adding a 460 Wh external battery, which could extend the range up to 131 km in Eco mode.

Integrated Turn Signals

The Ninebot F3 Pro E is equipped with futuristically designed front turn signals and integrated rear turn signals, improving safety when signaling turns and changes in direction. These turn signals are designed to be easily visible to other road users, contributing to safer riding in urban environments.

Conclusion

The Ninebot F3 Pro E combines power, range, and advanced technological features, positioning itself as a solid option for urban commuting. However, it's advisable to consider that range figures may vary under real-life conditions and evaluate whether the specifications meet each user's individual needs.

Improved Locking System

This model incorporates an anchor point at the base of the mast, facilitating the use of chain or U-locks. This feature provides a more flexible and secure locking option, allowing the scooter to be secured more effectively in various urban environments.

Additionally, Segway offers a 5-digit password lock compatible with all KickScooter models, including the F3 Pro E. This lock offers over 10,000 possible combinations and is made with a durable braided steel cable, offering additional protection against theft.
