Segway Ninebot ES2: $589 $499 @ Amazon
Segway makes some of the best electric scooters around, but they're generally on the pricey side, which is why Prime Day is a good time to pick up a model. The ES2 is a light model, with a 300W motor and weighing just 27.6 pounds. It gets up to 15 MPH and 15 miles on a charge. It also has an LED display, Bluetooth, cruise control, and customizable ambient lights. It's best for those who don't have too many hills to climb.
