Segway Ninebot Max G2 vs Razor E Prime III

The Segway Ninebot Max G2 is the stronger scooter on every spec that matters: more power, roughly triple the range, higher top speed, higher weight limit, suspension and traction control. The Razor E Prime III is far lighter at about 24 lb and easier to carry, but it is a short-trip scooter with a 250W motor and 8-inch tires. Reviewers of the Max G2 call it easy to maneuver, fast and reliable; the E Prime III's lower rating reflects a simpler, less capable ride. Buy the Segway for commuting and distance, the Razor for short hops and portability.

• Choose the Segway Ninebot Max G2 if you ride more than a few miles, weigh over 200 lb, or want suspension and traction control for rough pavement.
• Choose the Razor E Prime III if you need a light scooter to lift onto a bus or into a trunk and only ride short distances.
