Is the Segway GT3 worth it over a cheaper scooter?

If you need 30 mph and 45 miles of range, the GT3's 2400 W motor and 330 lb rating put it above most commuter scooters. For short city trips under 10 miles, a lighter 500-800 W model costs far less and is easier to carry.

How fast does it really go and how far on a charge?

Segway rates it at 30 mph and up to 45 miles. Expect real range to drop well below 45 miles at full throttle or in cold weather, as with any scooter.

How long does the battery take to charge?

About 6.5 hours from empty with the included charger. There is no fast-charge option listed, so plan on overnight charging.

Can I carry it up stairs or put it in a car?

At 87 lb and 54 inches long, it is a two-person lift. It folds, but most owners will keep it at ground level or in a garage rather than haul it.

The scooter, charger and basic assembly hardware. The app features (Airlock, navigation) require the Segway app and a Bluetooth connection.

Who should not buy it?

Riders under 18, anyone who needs to carry the scooter regularly, and riders in areas that cap scooters at 15-20 mph. Check local law before buying a 30 mph model.

Our take on the Segway GT3 SuperScooter

The Segway GT3 is a high-power adult electric scooter built for speed and distance: a 2400 W motor, 30 mph top speed and up to 45 miles of range on 11-inch off-road tires. It carries a 330 lb load rating, an aluminum frame, app and Bluetooth connectivity, and Segway's Airlock auto lock/unlock and Segride geometry. At 87 lb it is a two-person lift, not a carry-on, and it needs about 6.5 hours to charge. It is sold as a moped-class machine for riders 18 and up.
