Segway C80 REVIEW Part 1 An Introduction to a TESLA?

FINALLY! The highly requested Segway C80 Review is done. Very sorry for the delay guys. I truly appreciate your patience. I had to do two parts because the more I shot, the more I learned about the C80 so please Subscribe and stay tuned for Part 2. The C80 is an electric Moped that Segway campaigned for and its truly a fun machine. It has tons of features that reminded me so much of my Tesla and im truly happy to see so many similar features.

Love the video. Can’t wait to see more on the second part of this video!

Segway c80 is a specialized product. Not all products work for everyone. I’ve owned one for a year now and I’m a really happy customer. If you research the c80 family of products available in china, you’ll realize that the c80 is just a test product in the US. Getting Dept of Transportation certification in the US is actually quite tuff. To stay under the radar, an ebike must have a motor less powerful than 1kw (equal or less than 49cc) and petals to be allowed in the bike lane.

Segway has a more powerful cousin called the E 100 that you’d have to have a license with a motorcycle endorsement to ride in the US. Segway makes many cousin products of the C80.

All of this is to say, don’t buy it if it isn’t for you as it has only very specialized use cases. Prefect for taking a nephew to the park. Perfect for picking up the mail. Perfect for hitting up a neighborhood restaurant. Even going up steep hills, it will carry a 200 lbs American (me) up a 15% grade. Sure, it bogs down to 2-3 mph but, that is part of the trade off with a governed motor capped at max 20 mph.

It’s made for lackadaisical cruising in the bike lane without even feigning interest in exercise. It would be a nice accessory to an RV as a secondary mode of leisurely exploring a new place in utter comfort. The type of quiet scooter you take to get a soft serve ice cream.

Looking forward to part 2!

Yes thank you for this video!!! I’ve had the C80 for almost two months now and I use it for food delivery. That same complaint about speed has been my only complaint also. I wish there was a way to get past that. Thanks for the vid man!!

[okabutifoundit]

I have the c80, I've had it close to a month. I love this thing!! I use to get to work and back, pick up small groceries, milk, egg and small thing like that, I use the bike lane most of the time and use the pedals so it looks like an electric bike. Where did you get that extra seat?, I want to but one so I can drop my siblings off at their class

[sgl]

Can you show how to attach the basket? I’ve got the b110s. Don’t know if it possible to attach the basket from c80 to b110s. They look pretty similar

[videoviewer]

thank you so much! looking forward to part 2. where did you find the second seat for the segway?

[crazybusdriver]

Love the look of the C80 but the lack of power for going up hill was a huge negative for me since all my grocery stores are up a grade.

[beachcomber]

It has the ideal form factor IMO. But I prefer something less plasticky and a tad faster. I like Tesla-style features, but would prefer them under my complete control. Thanks.

[Oliedo]

Where did you get the back seat and front basket from

[kevinmota]

What storage basket is that one. I need one for my Moped

[mctravels]

Is there anything that can be done to improve torque on hills? I got rid of my E-bike for a Vespa because it was just too slow and almost unusable on any kind of hill. If you can't take it anywhere but on flat roads and can't keep up with traffic, it's not worth it.

[a.d.h.dnd]

How do I modify it to get 40-50mph and how much would upgrade cost??

[nevereatsoggywaffles]

How did you get the accessories for the moped? Like the seat and the basket.

[tony]

I was never able to get the basket or the rear seat catfish I returned it

[chris]

There's a hack somewhere you can jack up to 30 mph

[moseshuangfu]

There are 2more ways to open the seat if you lose the physical key. Do you know them?

[grshotz]

These are crap. Buyer beware. I bought 2 of them. Have less than 10
miles on them and have had a bad charger (took 3 months to replace) and
now a bad battery. Still waiting for help on the battery and it too has
been about 3 months. I do understand new product item failures. But its
the Segway service. There is none. It takes begging to anyone associated
with Segway to get some kind of help. I really hate the fact I spent so
much money on them to most likely end up in the garbage dump next
riding season. Others on the Segway C80 Facebooks groups have similar
horror stories.

[spencergraham-thille]

That would be dope if Elon bought one.

[cudecalango]

very bad product we can buy battery for this item anymore

battery died and you put in the garbage
