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.

Students who use AI every day may be falling behind, while moderate users pull ahead
New global testing data suggests more AI in the classroom isn't automatically better.

I assumed more AI access might help students learn faster. However, a new OECD study dispels that misconception for me and everyone else who gave their children a paid version of AI chatbots, thinking it would help them through their educational journey. 

According to PISA 2025 data from 760,000 students in 91 countries, students who use AI daily score meaningfully worse on standardized tests than their peers. The full picture is more complicated than a simple ban would fix.

XPENG just put its humanoid robot on the production line, and it walked itself out
IRON clocks in for its first shift
XPENG Iron

XPENG’s humanoid robot has officially joined the workforce, and it even got an employee badge. The Chinese automaker announced on September 8 that its next-generation IRON had completed assembly and autonomously walked off its newly commissioned humanoid robot production line in Guangzhou.

CEO He Xiaopeng then pinned a staff badge onto the robot, symbolically welcoming it to the XPENG team. It is a charming little ceremony for a machine that the company hopes will eventually become a regular part of everyday life. XPENG is moving IRON beyond R&D prototypes toward production-line manufacturing, applying the quality-control systems and manufacturing experience it has developed through its electric vehicle business.

An AI-designed drug might help slow aging, but we’re not there yet
The results hint at a possible anti-aging effect, but there’s still a long way to go before we know what it means.

Rentosertib, a drug Insilico Medicine designed almost entirely using AI, was created to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that scars and stiffens the lungs over time. But fighting lung disease was only half the plan from the start.

According to a new study published in Nature Biotechnology, the drug's target was chosen specifically because it overlaps heavily with the biology of aging, and the whole trial was designed to test whether treating the lungs could also mean turning back the body's biological clock.
