Meet the all new Ninebot F2 Pro, the electric scooter that’s going to make you ditch those morning bus rides for good. With a powerful 900W max output, the Ninebot F2 Pro ensures a swift and smooth ride, reaching a top speed of 20 mph. Navigate with confidence using its wide handlebars, providing stability and control as you cruise through the urban landscape. The inclusion of self-healing tires adds an extra layer of convenience, ensuring you stay on the move without interruptions.
WHO IS IT BEST FOR
Ninebot F2 Pro is the perfect blend of style and performance in an entry-level electric scooter. Tailored for both teens and adults, its sleek aesthetics make it an attractive choice for anyone looking for a lightweight, portable, and powerful scooter with a long range and comfortable ride. Whether you’re a student zipping through campus or a professional navigating city street, this scooter is engineered to meet the needs of riders of all ages.
DESIGN & FEATURES
Cockpit
Featuring wide handlebars spanning an impressive 22 inches, this sleek ride provides ample space for your GoPros or phone holders, ensuring you can capture and share your exciting journeys effortlessly.
Navigating the Ninebot F2 Pro is a breeze with dedicated controls. On the left, find the rear brake lever, electronic horn / turn signal buttons, and a handy bell. On the right, your thumb throttle and front brake lever awaits, putting you in command of your journey.
At the heart of the Ninebot F2 Pro is a small LED display situated in the center, showcasing all the essential ride information and granting you control over various riding modes. However, it’s important to note that the display’s downside is its brightness – it may be a bit challenging to read in direct sunlight.
Frame
Cruising through urban landscapes or exploring scenic routes, the Ninebot F2 Pro electric scooter is made from lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy that effortlessly weathers any journey. Crafted for stability and control, this frame is your reliable companion, adapting seamlessly to the twists and turns of city streets or country roads.
Beyond its strength, the F2 Pro’s frame makes a bold style statement. Embracing sleek lines and a minimalist design, this scooter effortlessly blends durability with aesthetics, ensuring you not only navigate with confidence but do so in head-turning style.
Deck
Designed for both comfort and control, the Ninebot F2 Pro’s 19”x3” inch deck offers a relaxed riding experience. Navigating through busy city streets becomes effortlessly smooth, thanks to the scooter’s impressive 4.8-inch ground clearance. Whether you’re tackling uneven surfaces or maneuvering around obstacles, this scooter’s capability shines through.
Safety takes center stage with the textured surface of the deck, meticulously crafted for optimal grip. Be it rain or debris-covered paths, the non-slip design keeps your feet firmly in place, ensuring stability and control in less-than-ideal conditions.
Despite the deck’s commendable size, the absence of a kickstand may leave riders longing for that extra touch of comfort during extended journeys. Nevertheless, the F2 Pro’s ability to handle rough terrains and its safety-focused design make it a reliable companion for varied riding conditions.
Lights
After cruising around on the Ninebot F2 Pro for a few weeks, I can’t help but rave about its brilliant lighting system. The 2.1W high-brightness LED front light is an absolute game-changer, casting a powerful glow that reaches up to 13.5 meters ahead. This means even on dimly lit streets, I’ve got a clear view of the road – a real confidence booster during evening rides.
But it’s not just about seeing; it’s also about being seen. The built-in handlebar turn signals and E-MARK-certified reflectors elevate the safety game to a whole new level. These aren’t just aesthetic additions – they substantially enhance visibility, especially as daylight starts to fade. It’s a small detail, but one that significantly enhances my overall riding experience.
However, it’s only fair to mention a minor drawback – the headlights aren’t adjustable. Despite this, the Ninebot F2 Pro’s brilliant lighting system remains a standout feature, making nighttime rides a breeze.
RIDE QUALITY
Tires
With the upgraded 10-inch pneumatic tires offers smooth rides on any terrain. These cutting-edge tires not only provide a plush ride on any terrain but also feature a distinctive deep-tread pattern for enhanced grip and stability, ensuring a confident journey even on rough roads. With an impressive width of 58mm, these tires contribute to an exceptionally stable riding experience, making every trip a breeze.
What sets these tires apart is their innovative jelly layer feature, offering worry-free rides. The self-sealing technology means you can confidently navigate your way, even if you encounter a nail or debris.
Suspension
The F2 pro comes only with front spring suspension with 35mm stroke length. While there’s no rear suspension, the front shock absorber still does a decent job in cushioning every jolt and jar. The suspension is also protected from dust with a shock boot cover which also adds up to its overall stylish looks.
I recently took the Ninebot F2 Pro for a test ride on a variety of surfaces, including paved roads, gravel paths, and even some grassy areas. I was impressed with how well the suspension system handled the bumps and shocks. The scooter was always smooth and comfortable to ride, even on the roughest terrain.
BUILD QUALITY
Folding & Portability
One of the best things about the Ninebot F2 Pro is that it is very practical. It easily folds and unfolds, and its compact, lightweight design allows for convenient transportation on public transit or fitting into a car trunk.
To fold the scooter, simply pull down the folding latch below the stem. The scooter will then fold in half, making it compact and easy to carry.
Weight & Load
The Ninebot F2 Pro is a lightweight electric scooter with a heavy-duty payload. Weighing in at just 41 pounds, the F2 Pro can handle riders up to 265 pounds. So if you’re a heavier rider, you don’t have to worry about the scooter giving way under your weight.
PERFORMANCE & SAFETY
Top Speed
Featuring a powerful motor with a peak performance of 900 watts, this scooter effortlessly reaches a top speed of 20 mph. The beauty lies in its perfect balance—fast enough to swiftly transport you around town, yet not overly speedy to compromise safety. The Ninebot F2 Pro is your ideal companion for convenient and rapid urban commuting, ensuring you get to your destination quickly and effortlessly.
Acceleration
When it comes to electric scooters, speed and acceleration are often at the top of the priority list, and the Ninebot F2 Pro does not disappoint in this department. To truly test the acceleration of the F2 Pro, we took it out for a spin on a variety of terrains. In Eco mode, the scooter accelerates gently, reaching its top speed of 9 mph in a few seconds. This mode is perfect for cruising around town or leisurely rides. In Drive mode, the acceleration is quicker, reaching speeds of up to 15 mph, making it a good choice for commuting or longer rides. And in Sport mode, the F2 Pro really unleashes its power, blasting off from a standstill to a top speed of 20 mph in a matter of seconds. This mode is great for those who want to experience the full thrill of riding an electric scooter.
Range
Powered by a robust 460 Wh battery, this two-wheeled wonder promises an impressive maximum range of 34 miles on a single charge. That’s more than enough to tackle your daily errands and spontaneous adventures without a second thought.
Hill Climbing
Conquering city hills with the Ninebot F2 Pro is a breeze – it fearlessly takes on inclines of up to 22 degrees, making light work of even the steepest urban slopes.
I personally put it to the test on some challenging hills, and boy, did it impress! No slowdowns, no hiccups – just a smooth ascent with the F2 Pro effortlessly maintaining its speed.
Braking
One of the most distinctive traits of the Ninebot F2 Pro is its dual braking system, featuring a mechanical disc brake at the front and an electronic regenerative brake at the rear.
I found that the brakes were easy to modulate, allowing me to come to a complete stop from a speed of 20 mph in just a few seconds.
Charge Time
With the Ninebot F2 Pro, you can keep the momentum going without wasting hours plugged in. Thanks to its lightning-fast charging system, you can get back on the road in just 7 hours – no more twiddling your thumbs waiting for the fun to start.
Waterproof Rating
The Ninebot F2 Pro has an IPX5 water resistance rating for its body and IPX6 for its battery, meaning it can withstand light rain or low-pressure water jets from any direction.
WARRANTY
The Ninebot F2 Pro warranty covers all manufacturing defects for a period of 1 year. That means if your scooter experiences any problems due to faulty materials or workmanship, Segway-Ninebot will repair or replace it at no cost to you.
Segway-Ninebot’s customer service is renowned for being prompt and efficient. If you ever need to make a warranty claim, you can simply contact their support team and they will walk you through the process. In most cases, your scooter will be repaired or replaced within a few days.
