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.

Microsoft Edge on a phone

Chrome is still the default browser for many smartphone users, but Microsoft’s latest Edge update gives them a practical reason to try something else.

Microsoft has announced a major Copilot update for Edge across desktop and mobile. The rollout comes ahead of Google’s Gemini-powered Chrome upgrade for Android, which is expected in June, giving Edge a chance to stand out on phones before Chrome’s next big AI push.

After flubbing with Siri, Apple plans to host AI agents on the App Store
One problem is about money Apple won't commit to not charging. The other is about AI agents Apple can't figure out how to control. WWDC needs to solve both.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Apple is currently facing a Siri problem that has nothing to do with Siri at all. With WWDC 2026 just weeks away, The Information reports the company is actively courting developers to integrate their apps with the new Siri coming in iOS 27. 

The mechanism powering the overhauled Siri, App Intents, is an API that lets Siri execute actions inside third-party apps without you actively opening them, which sounds quite useful, I’d say. However, some of the world’s largest developers are dragging their feet on it, not because it’s tough, but because Apple left the door open on charging for it later.

EV batteries just need some AI top-up nudge, and they get a big 23% life boost, finds research
Charging fast and lasting long seemed impossible. A new AI trick says otherwise.
EV Charging

EV battery charging technology has always had to find the right balance between charging speed and battery longevity. If the charging speed is too fast, it wears down the battery. If the charging is too slow, nobody is happy. 

Researchers Meng Yuan from Victoria University of Wellington and Changfu Zou from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden may have cracked this long-standing problem using an AI technique called deep reinforcement learning, and the results are pretty encouraging.
