Segway’s Max Electric Scooter is $ 100 for The Verge Readers

The Segway Max is probably a good choice for you if you’re looking for an electric scooter that can travel up to 40 miles per charge – much longer than most other models. The Max happens to be cheaper than ever at Wellbots, but just right for readers of The edge. The retailer offers you a rebate of $ 100, lowering the regular price from $ 799 to $ 699. Simply enter the offer code THEVERGEMAX after the payment screen to see the price drop more than we have seen before.

We’ve highlighted more affordable Segway options in the past, but they’re, frankly, little potatoes compared to this one. Along with the Max’s longest 40-mile range (beating the likes of the Segway ES2’s 15.5-mile range and the ES4’s 28-mile range), it peaks at 18.6 mph, or roughly. three mph faster than the ES2. For context, the ES2 is the scooter that was used by the rental services of Bird and Lime.

The Max has big 10-inch tires, a quick charge that takes no more than six hours, and it can be folded up to accommodate more space when you’re not using it. Segway claims that this model also has self-healing tires fitted with a sealant that claims to fill the holes automatically. The components of the Max have an IPX5 water resistance rating. In case you’ve been shopping, you might be familiar with the $ 699 Segway Max G30LP. It has similar speed and overall functionality to the Max that is discounted today, but its range is well below 24.9 miles per charge.

In addition, Humble recently launched its “Fall VR” bundle which contains several games compatible with a range of VR headsets. Proceeds go to the Movember Foundation and can also be donated to JDRF, which funds type 1 diabetes research. Paying $ 17 or more gets you the full suite of VR games, highlighted by The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners and Zero Caliber VR. Is also included Creed: Rise to Glory, I expect you to die, Raw data, as well as some additional titles. It’s a solid way to improve your VR game library if you’ve recently purchased a VR headset.
