Segway Launches Mecha Kit That Turns Ninebot Scooters Into Water Bullet-Blasting Machines
When people find it difficult to walk long distances or for long periods of time, they often use self-balancing hoverboards in facilities and gardens. These scooters can provide great support for those who need it. But what if they can become a mini mobile tank that can also fire? Ninebot, the company that acquired the Segway brand in 2015, has made weird add-ons to make simple transport vehicles more interesting. The new Mecha kit is compatible with Ninebot S and Ninebot S Kids.
Once the kit is installed on your Segway scooter, you no longer need to stand up and ride. You can sit comfortably on a chair, use the joystick to control your movements, and use water bombs to fire water bombs from the blasters on both sides of the ride to aim at the target.
Segway claims that bullets are environmentally friendly and can evaporate into powder without leaving traces of pollution. You can also play your favorite songs through the built-in Bluetooth audio system, and customize the ride experience through the underbody RGB ambient light. There is also a front-firing laser light to help you aim at the target.
The built-in sound system will provide voice assistance to new players when they get started. In terms of safety, the kit has an “all-round collision avoidance” system. The high-strength steel frame of the kit provides comprehensive protection for the body and prevents deformation. It can carry a payload of up to 220 pounds (100 kg) and move in three speed modes-3.7 mph (6 km/h), 6 mph (10 km/h) and 8.7 mph ( 14 km/h). People can even use the Segway-Ninebot application to remotely control it.
The company recommends scooters to people 14 years and older. Mecha Kit is priced at US$599.99 (approximately Rs 45,000) in the company’s official electronic store, but the company currently offers it at a discounted price of US$100 (approximately Rs 7,500).

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025
Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.
Tom Holland is going to have a very busy 2025. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the actor has signed Christopher Nolan’s next, which he will juggle the filming of with that of the long-awaited Spider-Man 4. (Also Read – Tom Holland shares why he left alcohol behind: ‘Struggling without booze…’)
Tom signs Nolan’s next
This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.
Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).
Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.
Tom’s busy schedule
Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
