Almost a quarter of a million Segway scooters are be recalled Due to security risks, according to officials.
The recall was announced Thursday by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall concerns the 220,000 units of the Segway ninebot max g30p and Max G30LP Kickscooters.
According to the CPSC, the recall has been published due to the model folding mechanism, which can be defective.
“The folding mechanism can fail and ensure that the handlebars or the stem folds while the scooter is used, putting a risk of falling for consumers,” said the opinion.

On Thursday, Segway received 68 reports of folding mechanism chess. These caused around twenty injuries, ranging from abrasions and bruises to “lacerations and broken bones”.
Segway advises the owners of the scooters recalled to stop “immediately” to use them.
