Scooter is an essential for navigating daily life with comfort and confidence.
buy from amazonI have a foot condition that makes walking long distances very difficult. I suffer from severe plantar fasciitis, which causes intense pain in my heels and arches when the tissue in my feet is overstressed. I also have flat feet, which cause a different kind of pain – mostly a dull, aching discomfort in my arches and ankles that gets worse the longer I stand or walk. It throws off my alignment and adds to the strain on my legs and lower back. Together, these conditions make it painful and often impractical to walk for extended periods. In larger cities where distances between destinations can be significant, vehicles like electric scooters aren’t just a convenience, they’re a necessity for me to get around.
I’ve been lucky enough to try electric commuter scooters for review purposes and when they are publicly available as pay-to-ride scooters. Companies like Bird and Lime made commuter scooters a popular urban trend, and it’s hard to find someone who hasn’t seen one. Over the past five years, owning an electric scooter has become more feasible, not just because of the cost, but also due to advancements in technology.
If making your commute easier is important to you, as it is to me, owning a scooter offers better value, freedom, comfort, and reliability. While rentals are great for tourists or occasional rides, owning one is a smarter, more personalized choice for regular commuters or anyone with specific mobility needs.
So, how do you pick the right one? Well, the Segway eKickScooter Ninebot F3 strikes a good balance between performance, safety, and smart features — all things I was looking for.

Unboxing & Setup
The scooter comes mostly assembled. All you have to do is unfold it, lock the quick-release lever and attach the handlebars with the provided screws. At this point, it’s ready to go. The next part of the set up is to activate the scooter by scanning the provided QR code and registering an account. You will also have to activate the battery by charging it for at least three seconds and then you link it to your phone.
The basic functions of the scooter can be controlled on the scooter, but the companion app allows you to control:
the light effects start speed energy recovery the imperial or metric system mode speed traction control system (TCS) the charging limit the locking function schedule chargingI’ve been impressed with the information I’m able to get from the app. I love the FindMy integration and even though I read that it’s a buggy experience for some, I’ve not had an issue with it. It could be because I’m exclusively using an iPhone. The Segway Ninebot F3 has a premium build quality that feels solid and well-constructed. Nothing about it comes off as flimsy or cheaply made.
Battery and Charging
The first time I rode the scooter, I only traveled a distance of approximately one mile. I noticed that the battery was not fully charged out of the box, and when I was done, I think I used up approximately 5% of the battery. I rode it pretty aggressively because I wanted to try to reach the top speed on that first ride.
And, while I haven’t taken it on a long-range trip, I have used it several times since then and it seems to be very efficient on power usage. Charging is super easy using the provided power cable. I do, however, wish there was a place on the scooter to store the power cable/adapter. I’m always afraid I’m going to misplace a charging cable especially when it’s a special one.
Performance and Ride Quality
I’ve had a lot of fun riding the F3. It’s smooth, quick, and feels really stable, even on the rougher pavement in our neighborhood. The front hydraulic and rear elastomer suspension systems, paired with the 10-inch tubeless tires, do a great job of soaking up bumps and keeping the ride comfortable.
I haven’t taken it on any long-distance rides yet because of my own physical limits, but every short trip I’ve done has been enjoyable. The scooter feels balanced, and that really matters when you’re dealing with foot pain or stability issues. The suspension smooths things out nicely, and the tires give just enough cushion to take the edge off rough roads.
Acceleration is surprisingly zippy. My fiancé has a Ride1Up 700 Series e-bike, and while her bike has more top-end power, I didn’t feel like I was falling behind at all. The F3 kept up just fine, and takeoffs were smooth without any wheel spin or jerky motion.
The turn signals are awesome. They are bright, easy to see at night, and simple to activate. I also love the headlight. It’s super bright and controlled with the same button you use to power on the scooter, which keeps things simple. The only quirk I had to adjust to was the brake handle being on the left side. As a right-handed person, that took a little getting used to.
Traction control seems to work really well. I’ve ridden it on different surfaces, including a nearby church parking lot, and the scooter always felt planted. No slippage, just smooth starts and solid handling.
Even my daughter took it for a spin and said it was super comfortable and easy to ride. She doesn’t have the same foot and weight distribution issues I do, and she thought it would be perfect for getting around town. The video below shows how smooth is is to ride and how quiet it is. You can only hear a lawnmower in the neighborhood. The scooter doesn’t make a sound.
Overall, the F3 has been a great ride. It’s fun, comfortable, and feels safe and reliable every time I hop on.
Transporting
One of the selling points for me was that the F3 folds up for easy transport. The handlebar stem has a quick-release latch that allows the stem to fold down across the footboard. Then, there is a snap hook just below the handlebars that locks into the footboard. This allows the user to pick up the scooter by the stem in order to carry it from place to place.
Now, it’s important to note that the scooter weighs 42 pounds. Even though this fold-up feature makes it easier to carry the scooter, it doesn’t change the total weight of the vehicle. I have placed it into the trunk of my Tesla Model 3 and into the bed of my Ford F-150 Lightning.
It fit very easily, but it was harder to get it into the bed of the truck simply because of its weight. I’ve been very happy with being able to fold up the scooter and place it into one of my larger vehicles, but the weight is something to be aware of.
Conclusion
The Segway Ninebot F3 is more than just a convenient commuting option. It’s a thoughtfully designed personal vehicle that prioritizes comfort, smart features, and performance. As someone with mobility challenges, I’ve found it to be a reliable, empowering way to stay mobile without aggravating my foot condition. The scooter offers a smooth, stable ride with responsive acceleration, practical tech features, and a solid build that gives me confidence on the road. Whether you’re a commuter, casual rider, or someone looking for a practical alternative to walking long distances, the Ninebot F3 is an impressive and accessible option.
