Segway’s kid-focused Ninebot ZING C9 electric scooter sees first sale at $198 in New Green Deals

/in /by

Segway’s is made with younger riders in mind. It only engages the motors when your young ones reach 1.9 MPH, which means it won’t start going until they’re ready for it to. On top of that, it’ll reach speeds of up to 11.2 MPH and travel for 6.2 miles, all without a single drop of gas or oil. It’s seeing the first discount we’ve tracked down to $198 from its normal going rate of $270, making now a great time to pick it up. We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today and of course Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.
