Segway has debuted its One S1 at brick and mortar retailers throughout North America.
“It makes great sense to unveil the One S1 to retail buyers at CES and give them a unique opportunity to evaluate its features, accessories and point of purchase displays first-hand, as well as see a comprehensive product demonstration, check out the new black model and have a little fun!” said Brian Buccella, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Segway.
“We launched the One S1 for pre-sale, exclusively on Amazon, on November 1 for $749…” says Buccella. “Now we’re bringing it to specialty retailers whose customers are lifestyle and recreational riders. The One S1 is not for everyone, riding takes skill. We’ve found that riders with a certain skill set, combined with a fearless mindset, can learn to ride in about an hour. It may take other riders longer to become proficient/”
The One S1 is compact, weighs just over 11kg and can accommodate riders up to 99kg. Its lithium-ion batteries deliver sustainable power and allow riders to travel up to 24 kilomtres on a single charge, depending on payload and terrain, with a top-speed of up to 20kph.
In addition, riders must download the Ninebot App, which provides a New Rider Tutorial, as well as the ability to monitor speed, enable carry or lock mode, engage speed limit mode, customize lighting and more.
One S1 accessories include training wheels, kickstand, protective bumpers and graphic decals. Each accessory offers retailers a chance to better meet their customers’ expectations for a completely customized riding experience.
The device has yet to be given a release date in Australia, however, for enquiries, please visit www.segway.com.
