Why you should buy the Segway KickScooter electric scooter

The Segway name is almost synonymous with electric scooters, as its iconic scooters introduced us to a new way to commute. These days, Segway makes some of the best electric scooters available, though their form factor has changed to be more accessible, more convenient, and more fun. This is especially true of the Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max, a cool electric scooter fit for daily commutes, tricks at the skate park, and for simply riding around the neighborhood. It’s meant to be so much fun, in fact, that Segway has even released the Segway Engine Speaker, an add-on device that makes your scooter sound like a Ferrari, amongst other things.

One issue that has plagued even the best electric skateboards and the best hoverboards is battery life, but the Ninebot KickScooter Max is an electric scooter with battery life that gives you uninterrupted rides. It has a built-in charger that lets riders recharge the scooter easily when on the go without having to carry a long, bulky charging adaptor, and it’s able to reach a full charge in just six hours. Even with its powerful drivetrain and ability to climb slopes of up to 20%, the scooter is still able to maintain good battery performance. It also has three riding modes — Eco, Standard, and Sports — allowing you to move into less energy-consuming modes should you need to conserve battery life while you’re riding.

Modern pieces of tech bring with them modern amenities, and the Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max has rear-wheel drive, which offers better acceleration, stability, and braking, alongside front-facing lights that are designed with high-brightness LED lights to illuminate the path ahead of you and increase your visibility to others around you. An intuitive LED dashboard allows you to easily select between the three riding modes, and it displays maintenance signals, power levels, and Bluetooth connectivity. The Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max is one of the most fun pieces of tech you’ll find discounted on Prime Day, so grab a set of the best earbuds, sign up for one of the best music streaming services, and get cruising through the neighborhood with the Segway Ninebot KickScooter Max.

Best Buy knocks $250 off this TP-Link mesh router system
TP-Link BE11000

If you're the type of person who uses a lot of smart home devices, then you know the pain that comes along with not having the best Wi-Fi coverage in your home. Wi-Fi dead spots can be a really big problem, even with the best routers, which is why a mesh router can be a great alternative. If you're thinking of grabbing a mesh router system, then the TP-Link BE11000 is a really solid option, especially since this deal from Best Buy knocks a whopping $250 off the price tag of $800 for a pack of three.

Why you should buy the TP-Link BE11000 Whole Home Mesh System
One of the most impressive things about the TP-Link BE11000 is that it can cover a truly massive area of 7,600 square feet, making it great for larger homes as well, especially given those tend to have the biggest issue with Wi-Fi dead spots. Another big benefit is that it comes with the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, which is actually pretty rare these days, especially for mesh routers, but you do get better connectivity, lower latency, and the ability to connect up to 200 devices. Also, for those who are VPN users, it supports both VPN servers and clients, meaning you just need to install the VPN on the mesh router and not on every device in your home.
