Segway Recalls 220,000 Scooters for Fall Hazard

Segway has issued a recall of approximately 220,000 Ninebot Max G30P and Max G30LP KickScooters due to a faulty folding mechanism that poses a fall hazard. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has reported 68 incidents of the mechanism failing, resulting in 20 injuries, including bruises, lacerations, and broken bones. Consumers are advised to stop using the scooters immediately and contact Segway for a free maintenance kit to inspect and adjust the locking mechanism. The scooters, sold between January 2020 and February 2025 at major retailers such as Best Buy and Costco and online platforms, were manufactured in China and Malaysia. Segway emphasizes the importance of periodic checks and tightening of the folding mechanism according to riding conditions. No returns or replacements are being offered, only maintenance kits to address the issue.
