Segway S2 Kids $449.00 When parents think of Segway, they picture the iconic self-balancing Personal Transporter that defined a generation of micro-mobility. Now, Segway has distilled that same magic into a package built specifically for young riders—and it’s a completely different animal than the C2 series scooters.
The Segway Ninebot S2 Kids isn’t an electric kick scooter. It’s a self-balancing scooter that responds to body weight and lean rather than handlebars and throttles. This is the direct descendant of Segway’s original Personal Transporter, updated with kid-friendly features like animated RGB lighting, built-in Bluetooth speakers, and an intuitive knee control bar.

Summary
The Segway S2 Kids is not for everyone—and that’s exactly the point.
If your child wants a simple, straightforward electric kick scooter for neighborhood cruising, the C2 GO or C2 SE are better, more affordable choices. But if your child craves the thrill of a self-balancing ride, loves the idea of blasting music while they roll, and wants to feel like they’re riding a piece of genuine Segway technology, the S2 Kids is in a league of its own.
The knee control bar makes learning significantly easier than a standard hoverboard. The animated RGB lighting and Bluetooth speakers turn every ride into an event. The UL safety certifications and smart voice guidance give parents peace of mind. And the two speed modes mean the scooter can grow with your child’s confidence.
At $449.99 MSRP, the S2 Kids is undeniably premium. But with the limited-time pre-order discount to $349.99, it becomes significantly more accessible. For families willing to invest in a high-quality, engaging, and genuinely fun riding experience, the S2 Kids delivers.
Just be prepared for the learning curve—and for your child to want to ride it every single day.
