“As soon as the pandemic hit, our sales just skyrocketed,” said Aaron Binder, the chief experience officer at Segway of Ontario.

“Going back to 2019, we’ve probably seen about a 1,000 per cent increase in sales … just for this particular device that is right in front of me,” said Binder as he stood in front of a Ninebot brand e-scooter he sells in his shop in the Distillery District.
