All models share similar design elements and 10-inch tires, with the primary difference being battery capacity and range.
The Freshly Charged Take
The Segway D28 works best for daily commuters traveling distances under 15 miles round trip. It's great for riders who who combine scooter use with public transit, due to its folding capability. The 17.4-mile range, comfortable ride from 10-inch pneumatic tires, and quick folding design are all standard in the price category. While it doesn't have the extended range of premium models nor the power of performance scooters, it's a decent choice given the price point.
