This is not Segway’s first recall. About 1,400 Segway Ninebot P100 KickScooters were recalled by the firm in November after 31 reports of broken front forks and six injuries were received. In March 2022, it also recalled Ninebot Kids bike helmets that did not meet federal safety regulations.
Segway has seen several ownership changes. After his engineering firm purchased Segway, Jimi Heselden, a businessman from the United Kingdom, lost his life in an accident involving the motorised scooter in 2010.
