Segway’s speaker makes your electric scooter sound like a supercar

Just listen to that scooter engine purr. Segway released a strappable speaker that can simulate engine noises for its e-scooters and e-bikes. They’re describing it as an “engine sound simulation system,” but really it’s just an external speaker that can sync to your electric scooter for silly engine sounds.

I don’t think people are looking to fool anyone into believing that their electric scooter has a motor in it. This absurdity is only highlighted by the fact that Segway decided that one of the four available modes should be a V12 engine.
