Segway Ninebot Zing E10: What Real Users Actually Think

My response when I hear this question is 'Are you capable of fixing the e-scooter yourself, by watching Youtube videos, do you like working on scooters as much as you do riding them, and do you already have all the tools you need to work on one?' If the answer is yes, sure, go for one of the high powered Aliexpress scooters, if the answer is no, Ninebot Max G30.

Max G30 or Niu KQi3. Stay well away from the ESx, it's uncomfortable and disgustingly unreliable.

Please don't put your child on a $200 scooter. They are junk. Have her ride a manual bicycle until she's ready for something more powerful.

Ninebot ES2/3/4 sucks, don't go that way.

Someone on Youtube kindly gave me the fix for this issue. To initialize the scooter you must hold the throttle+brake for 5+ seconds after turning it on. This will make the lights go solid. Then power down for 30 seconds. You will now be ready to ride the scooter!

It's for my 12 year old. Her sister has a GoTrax that goes for 19 miles before it dies, so they can never scooter very far together because the E10's range just can't keep up.

My 6 year old daughter rides a Ninebot Zing C10. There are different versions of the Zing for different age groups, they are really good quality, I can totally recommend them!

I have the same activation problem — did you end up fixing it?

So I took it to a local shop and they said they weren't able to order the controller from Segway as it's not supported anymore. I tried searching for both part numbers on Google, Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress and couldn't find one.

I figured out I can bang on the top rubber feet placement area with my fist a few times and then it comes back to life and the light goes green. It ends up coming back after it hits a few road bumps. My thought is there is an issue inside the battery connection.

I read this comment and hit my sons scooter like you said a couple times and it started working again. I looked everywhere and found no answer.

Have been having the same exact issues with my son's scooter. Gently banged on it a bit and it worked! It did it again after a short test run so we knocked on it a bit again and it came back. Let me know if you found any permanent resolution.

Thank you! The punch method worked for me!!!

After about a week of my sister owning it, it started having the beeping problem. We've tried the throttle+brake method and the scooter doesn't seem to react to it. The only fixes we've worked out so far are to actually kick it, or to fully charge it overnight and it'll work perfectly as long as you fully charge it each time.

I've seen several posts on this but legit no real answer. My 2 year old Zing E10 decided to start doing this. The only answer I have is to smash it on the ground a couple of times and it starts back up temporarily. I've opened the bottom up and all wires look to be OK, but I'm not sure. Please don't send activation/reboot/reset instructions as I've tried them all already.

I believe your battery pack is starting to have a problem.

Bought one of these at a garage sale, same beeping/flashing. Only paid $30 for it, but the battery appears to be $150? Not sure if it's worth the repair cost.

The C2 Pro is a very fair scooter especially for something marketed as 'for kids'. The speed is slower than a lot of other scooters (it goes max 12mph) but that speed has always satisfied me and I use it to go anywhere I can. I really like the guard mode that you can enable from the app — it basically applies a little bit of braking and starts beeping if someone tries to take it out.

We ended up with the E10. It was a deal on Prime Day. So far it's been great and the kid loves it. The C2 I could only find at Target with limited reviews.

It's a Zing E10. It's a kid scooter. No battery packs or ways to increase speed.

If you want to stay with Segway-Ninebot, take a look at the C2 Pro. It just came out and is a great kid scooter. If that still seems too slow or not what you want, take a look at the E2 Plus, also new with a few more features.

Is your brake lever functional? The speed is limited to 3.1 MPH until you activate the scooter. Press the throttle and squeeze the brake lever, hold it for a few seconds. If you let the battery empty for a very long time, it might result in a new activation being required.

From what I see the E10 is lighter and has suspension but the C2 Pro has a larger capacity battery — that's the main tradeoff between the two.

I have the same activation problem — purchased in November 2023 and didn't activate it then. Now we want to use it, and it won't activate. It just keeps beeping.
