Balios Prestige Travel Umbrella vs Segway Ninebot KickScooter F30

I picked this umbrella because I wanted something that could fit in my backpack, but bigger than your typical compact umbrella. I do wish the umbrella was a little wider, I feel a little rain coming in from the sides BUT ! this is because I'm wearing a full backpack all the time, so I'm taking up more space than usual. On top of that, I live in Florida and the rain this time of year is brutal. I think the umbrella is more than wide enough, it's just my particular situation is extra tough to accommodate

It's a good scooter, but for the price I shouldn't almost break my hand every time I want to collapse the scooter to store in a classroom during class as a college student. Range, speed, acceleration, lights are all great, but you have to publicly embarrass yourself in front of all your classmates while trying to fold it up. For the cost, get an ES2 instead (it folds 1 million times easier, and has front suspension). It's much better for college applications

Then I saw the handle. Yes, the style is nice (though style doesn't really make me purchase an umbrella, per se), but the ergonomic grip was fabulous. My hand felt like it belonged there, and that it would be easier to hold should conditions be more blustery than an average rain shower. The first time I pushed the button, it opened effortlessly, and I was really surprised to see a vented canopy, like you'd see in much bigger (and much more expensive) umbrellas

It didn't look like it was really short on him a lot of times when you see people riding scooters uh in the city that are they're very tall people, it...

This one is like a heavy duty tactical umbrella. The quality is apparent and the materials make it feel like high end. I am sure it will last for many years. I will update after testing it in the wind

First the Ninebot F40 is solidly built. Assembly and setup were easy overall. However, the enclosed instruction book has ridiculously tiny print and isn’t terribly helpful. Moreover, the locking mechanism on the steering column requires excessive force to lock and unlock

It was fast, efficient, and the representative that contacted me was very nice and professional. I've been using this umbrella for almost a month now and NO PROBLEMS. One happy customer now with a working, comfortable and good-looking umbrella! Would order again. (PS: mom still loves hers) --original review-- After hunting for a stylish umbrella and reading lots of reviews I decided to purchase this Balios Travel Umbrella

I have taken it around the neighborhood several times. It’s a real head turner and racks up smiles per gallon quickly.

My only issue with this umbrella is that it can only fit one person but that's the sacrifice you have to make when getting a sturdy umbrella. I do recommend this umbrella.

Thank you Amazon for making purchase easy! Had delivered in one day as advertised. All around great experience. Will upload videos of scooter soon but for size I uploaded a picture of scooter next to my GMC Yukon XL. It’s a beast!

I'm constantly looking for "unflippable" umbrellas. I'm tired of cheap umbrellas being completely ruined the first time a wind gust comes. I usually go for the Gustbuster, but I was disappointed in the quality of my last GustBuster so I tried the Balios. Not much for color/design choices

Bought for my daughter and bell broke within 24 hours. It’s fine for her but not sturdy about where the neck breaks down for 170lb person. Feels flimsy. She loves it though so I am going to try and contact Segway for a new bell which is integrated into the front brake and latch mechanism

Opening & closing is just awesome! Makes getting in and out of the car very possible in the rain. Wishful thinking if only it could close all the way closes half way for you to push it close. Overall great product for the price. I had bought 4 different colors with no knowledge for my family as it was really appealing to me from the start

What I like; It's easy to fold and carry by hand. It's decent for small bumps and minor potholes (I live in new orleans, it's good to have something that can take a few bumps). Range is enough for daily commutes. Feels sturdy enough

It is Ok at best. The "real wood" handle is 100% plastic, so is the "metal". Better off going with a cheaper model since it not wood or of higher quality compared to other brands.

For me, it ultimately came down between this scooter and the Ninebot Max. I ultimately chose this one for one reason: the frame near the front wheel splits in half (two bars) on this scooter vs the single bar on the Ninebot Max, meaning it would be a lot easier for me to secure a U-type bike lock to it. It was also slightly cheaper, about $100 or so. I've had this scooter for about five months now, and have zero complaints for what I paid for and how I use it
