Generations have grown up with the loud engine sounds of approaching vehicles making the hazard obvious. Segway's new accessory is a strap-on speaker that makes their electric vehicles sound like they are powered by a roaring engine.
The arrival of the Ninebot Engine Speaker Sound Engine Simulation System is definitely related to the recent announcement of the Segway GT Series electric kick scooters that include the GT2 model with a top speed of 43.5 MPH and a 0 to 30 time of just 3.9 seconds. The Engine Speaker serves as a constant warning to everyone in earshot, even those in a car, because hitting someone on an electric scooter going 40+ MPH will send both the pedestrian and the rider to the emergency room.
The Ninebot Engine Speaker is a wireless speaker with a battery, dust and waterproof. It can be used as a personal stereo system, and it can even be attached to one of Segway's electric vehicles with an included strap-on mount.
The Ninebot Engine Speaker can play the sound of four different types of gas-powered engines: single cylinder, twin cylinder, a V8 and a V12 The sounds are not just a looped engine rumble, the speaker connects to the electric vehicle and matches the sounds to what the rider is doing. When the scooter is slowed and brought to a stop, the engine will roar louder and the idling will be quieter.
