Izcelsme

Segway-Ninebot is the product of one of the industry's defining mergers: Ninebot, a Beijing startup founded in 2012, acquired the original American Segway Inc. in 2015 with backing from Xiaomi and Sequoia Capital. The combined company went on to build the mass-market kick-scooter OEM behind countless shared-mobility fleets (Bird, Lime, Bolt) as well as its own consumer line. The F-series arrived in 2021 as the successor generation to the hugely popular ES/E-series and slotted between the budget E2 line and the flagship MAX. The F25 anchored the bottom of that range as the accessible entry point: cheaper and lighter than the F30 and F40, aimed squarely at first-time buyers and short urban commutes. It has since been carried forward in the EU as the F25E / F25E II, re-tuned to European e-scooter regulations (25 km/h cap, E-MARK reflectors, brighter lights) and now the version most commonly stocked by Baltic retailers.

Specifikācijas

Bremzes: Dual: front regenerative electronic brake + rear disc brake (140mm)

Verdikts

+Stiprās puses

Comfortable, stable ride from 10-inch pneumatic anti-puncture tyres — unusual at this price point
Two independent brakes (electronic front + rear disc) give reliable, safe stopping
Lightweight, quick one-hand fold and mature Segway-Ninebot parts/app ecosystem

−Vājās puses

Modest range — real-world ~15-18 km, well short of longer commutes; degrades as battery ages
No suspension and a low ~10-12% climb grade — struggles on hills and rough surfaces
Entry-level power means slow acceleration and a firm 25 km/h ceiling

Vai zinājāt

01The F25 sits at the base of a tiered family — F25/F30/F40 share the same chassis and folding mechanism, differing mainly in battery size, motor power and range, which makes cross-referencing used listings easy.
02Its 10-inch pneumatic anti-puncture tyres are a genuine step up over the solid tyres found on many budget rivals at the same price, giving noticeably better ride comfort without any suspension.
03Segway-Ninebot is the same company that builds a large share of the world's rental scooters, so the F25 benefits from mature, field-proven componentry and one of the best spare-parts ecosystems in the category.
04The EU F25E II uses self-healing tubeless tyres and is officially rated to just 25 km/h to stay within European road-legal limits — matching Estonian/Latvian/Lithuanian rules out of the box.
