FULL STORY ======================================================================Segway showcases multiple e-scooters at CES GT3 Pro tops out at 49.7mph F3 and E3 models boast more modest specs and price
Alongside its plans for new ebikes, at CES 2025 Segway has showcased a suite of new e-scooters seven to be precise which could give the best e-scooters on the market a run for their money.
The headliners are the GT Series Superscooters the GT 3 and GT3 Pro which boast some solid specs. With its 7,000W dual motor setup with a 2,160Wh battery the Pro model can accelerate from 0 to 30mph in 3.9 seconds (in Ultra Boost mode) with a top speed of 49.7mph and a max range of 86 miles on a single charge. Meanwhile the GT3 and its 2,400W motor can take it from 0 to
30 in 9 seconds with a 31mph top speed, with its 988Wh battery boasting a max range of 45 miles.
Both models sport 11-inch self-sealing tires, and smart functions like
Segways Airlock feature which automatically locks the scooter when you walk away as well as map navigation and ride stats which are shared on a 2.4-inch full color display on the scooters handlebar.
If youre keen to pick one of these up, the GT 3 will cost $1,699.99 with a preorder discount of $200 and is available to preorder now at store.segway.com . Were still waiting for confirmation of the GT 3 Pros
price, but itll be launching later in April. The Segway Max G3 (Image credit: Segway) An e-scooter for everyone
Next up is the Segway Max G3, which sacrifices some of the GT 3 series oomph for a smoother ride which Segway says is facilitated by the scooters dual hydraulic shock absorbers. Its 2,000W motor and 597Wh battery mean the
scooter boasts a 50 mile max range, a 28mph max speed and a nought to 15mph acceleration of 2.4 seconds. Just like the the GT 3 series e-scooters it also boasts those useful smart features like Airlock and the full-color display
for navigation and ride stats.
We havent had confirmation of theMax G3s cost yet, but Segway says itll
launch in Spring/Summer 2025 which were taking to mean sometime around May
or June, but well have to wait and see.
Lastly Segway is rolling out more standard commuter e-scooters in the form of the F3, F3 pro, E3, and E3 Pro. Launch sometime in Spring or Summer 2025 for an as of yet unconfirmed price though Segway says they'll land at mid and entry-level pricing. In exchange youll receive a less powerful machine than Segways other new e-scooters, with the F3-series pair boasting a 20mph max speed and 44 mile max range the E-series stats are to be confirmed.

As we learn more about the scooters well update this page, but the stats at a glance look solid across the range and were excited to give them a whirl when theyre ready to launch. It wont be as in-depth a test as one of our full-on reviews, but at CES well be demoing one of the new F or E-series e-scooters, as well as one of Segways new e-bikes so be on the look out for a write-up
of our hands-on experience later this week. You might also like The best
