The most powerful model, the GT2, has a range of 55 miles.
There’s a good reason for these changes: The GT Series scooters are incredibly fast, demanding a design that’s solid and substantial enough to balance their acceleration. The GT1 is powered by an 1,400-watt of rear-hub motor and can accelerate from zero to 30 mph in 7.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 37.3 mph. If that’s somehow not fast enough for you, the GT2 is equipped with a 1,500-watt motor on each wheel and can zoom from zero to 30 mph in 3.9 seconds and tops out at an almost-scary 43.
Other features include a digital display, four speed modes and front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, which just might be the pair’s most sensible features. There are also LED lights so you’ll be spotted day or night, as well as IPX4 weatherproofing so you can ride rain or shine. Performance and features aren’t the only aspects that differentiate Segway’s e-scooters to those of yore. You can buy an adult-sized Razor on Amazon for about $100 right now. Segway’s two-wheelers cost a lot more. The GT1 will be run you $2,999 when it launches later this year, while the GT2 can be had for $3,999. Both are available for a discount through the, though. Early adopters can get the GT1 for $2,499 and the GT2 for $3,499.
Deliveries are expected to begin in August, which means you have four months to find yourself a very strong helmet.
