At first, I thought that going with the Segway and buying batteries would be supporting U.S.-based manufacturing and engineering. Then, I looked at the stickers on the battery. "Made in China."
If you had to choose between a Segway and a Ninebot Mini, which would be the better choice? I guess they both have their advantages. I don't understand the economics of how the complete mini with an add-on handle can be half the cost of only the batteries for a Segway. I waited over ten years before I finally had the opportunity to get a Segway, and now I'm wondering if it was a mistake!
