A scooter for bigger people
The Segway Ninebot F40 is a great product. It's well designed and the software/firmware is well integrated for a satisfying rider experience. I also own the F20A scooter which has the same build quality and system integration. However it's rated for a100kg max load and it struggles with my weight, especially up inclines. Consequently, the range is much reduced. After an 8km ride, the battery is down to 30%. Now with the F40, with its 120kg max load, I feel more confident that the scooter isn't stressed and I'm riding within its limits. The improvement over the F20A is immediately noticeable. More torque and pulling power. It eats up inclines. It has a claimed max range of 40km. With long inclines and stop/start runs on the local cycle path, the battery was down to 10% in D mode after 30km. I'm happy with that. Before heading out on your first ride, check the alignment of the rear disk brake. Mine needed the cable tightened and the calliper centred over the disk. Otherwise, fit the handlebar out of the box, tighten the bolts, register on the Segway app, and you're ready to ride. The app tracks your progress, displays battery level, kms travelled and maps where you've ridden. Very useful features.
