Got one of these gt2's last month and have been using it for work everyday for utility pole inspections. I'm very impressed with the quality, speed and battery life. It is expensive but clearly not built to be a toy. Serious machine. Attracts alot of attention.
@@landpet happy to hear that. I know on paper other scooters crush it, but the build quality is what I wanted. 70 km/h is faster than I want to go. I'll restrict my charge level to 85%, I won't need that range.

I completely agree with you regarding the range. before i looked at the specifications of the battery, i was sure segway would have placed one of the largest capacity batteries for the price range of the scooter. i was really surprised to learn that the segway gt2 only has a 1512 watt hour battery (which requires 7 to 8 hours to charge at 4 amps, with no options/choices for faster charging). for a few dollars less, the wolf king gtr has a 2400 + watt hour battery (which can charge at ten amps = 3.5 hours) which is significantly more range at the same speed, i mean, if traveling the same speed. after studying the rion scooters, i realized how important higher voltage is for batteries and controllers and motors and overall responsiveness and efficiency. this is another improvement i think segway can add to future design models, higher voltage, larger capacity battery. and yes, i am willing to pay extra for this. the segway gt2 is a really great scooter. i am really looking forward to see what segway comes out with next! if segway can make something that competes on all levels with the rion scooters, and softer suspension on the front, similar to the wolf king gtr, that would be really great! when riding scooters, i sometimes do not see cement pushed up by tree roots. i hit such a bump (while riding the segway gt2 at 46mph) in the road, approximately three inches tall, and both of my hands came off of the grips. i wasn’t able to hold onto the grips. it was very jarring. i hit the same bump on my wolf king gt pro and the front suspension absorbed the bump and my hands didn’t come even close to coming off of the grips. this made me think that the segway gt2 front suspension may be better suited for track conditions. but still very good suspension. just not great on sudden steep/sharp bumps at 46 miles per hour. the wolf king gtr and the segway gt2 are presently my two absolute favorite scooters. the electrical and mechanical engineering on both scooters is next level. i mean really, these scooters are literally from the distant future!
I have a GT2, I love it! I’m 120kg. My commute is only 4 miles so the range doesn’t bother me. It takes me about 15 minutes to get to work here in Chicago vs 20-30 depending on traffic. That ride takes about 10% of the battery. It’s built like a tank though. Such a solid clean machine. I’m very happy with it.

Nice straight to the point review of the range. I was considering one of these or the P100S but decided to get another brand. Not surprising the advertised range doesn't quite reach rated when going fast. I agree they (And all other electric scooter/bikes/vehicles) should almost be required to at least include different distance ratings in different speed modes.

When i work on the Max scooters for people i ALWAYS have to air up the tires.. People complain that they don't get the range they want and i find they are running at 10-20 psi.. They never check their tires.. I have done before and after tests with the Segway Max G30p and gained 15% more range from that alone.. Just food for thought.. Please for the love of god... Keep your tires pumped up.
@@landpet I hate to tell you this, but you should ignore the recommended tire pressures in the manual and read the side of the tires.. tire manufacturers know better than segway will. I air up the max scooters to 50psi without issue on a scooter that weighs half as much ( or less) then the GT
@@antisfavorite7250 The GT2 gets a similar benefit in range but at the cost of tire wear.. the power and torque of the GT2 is so high that there is very rapid tire wear to the center of the tire if you run above 50 psi. The 45 recommended pressure keeps a better contact patch to the road that results in better tire wear so you don't have to replace them as often. So unlike the max I don't recommend going above 50 psi unless it's for a specific ride where you want more range or you avoid the performance modes. The repair instructions for putting on a new tire want you to completely disconnect the motor wheel from the controller. Not only is this a very in-depth tear down but it involves removing the sealant that makes the controller water proof in order to disconnect the motor.. To avoid this and keep your scooter as new as possible for as long as possible. Prioritize the lifespan of your tires.
on all scoots the range they say it goes its on eco mode. also 40km going almost full speed is pretty good i think for a 30ah battery. the crazy part for me on this scooter is that its only 48v that is low for this category for sure.
@@gtone339 I will now that you mentioned it. I was getting ready for long term review video. Hopefully they release it sooner than later so I can include that in the review.
They definitely exaggerate the battery strength… no way the range on a full charge is 40 miles… Absolutely no way … that said…You are brave… I only have the p65… the build is similar, but no shock… and way less power….for me It’s fine it is definitely a solid scooter …smooth ride, powerful motor. Coming from a nine bot max. I’m not even brave enough to drive in sport mode yet… But in drive mode is good enough for me. I’m older and all I do is scoot around the city for fun… On bike trails and stuff like that. Got it on sale for 1 g. I wouldn’t pay anymore for it but I’m very happy with it.
i remember your segway max got slightly better range, so this is disappointing. yes its faster so drains the battery quicker but this is like 5x the cost, so at least it shouldve gone twice the range.
I can't remember now, most of the time I keep the scooter more than 40% charged since I don't ride far enough between charges to drain it less than that. From what I remember, the acceleration slowed down but the top speed was still above 40mph.
Can you do a range test only in Eco mode? I`m just curious tho. No matter what I have or want to do I`ll never need more than 30km of range where I live and there are very few places I`ll be able to ride it as fast as you did. Although the specs are a bit disappointing on their own in my case they are more than sufficient so at least I won`t have to make any compromises.
I don't plan on doing the range test in Eco mode, the simple answer is to add 3 to 5 miles of range for Eco. I typically do the range test in the fastest mode and do some hills to simulate a worse case scenario but even in that case, range will vary quite a bit for different riders as I'm on the heavier side and I did a lot of accelerations, if I hit mostly green lights then that would increase my range as well. I think in most cases, most people can squeeze out 30km of range from this thing.
Decent range but could last longer if it had regenerative braking. By the way, did you also test out the Segway P100s? I heard the range is above the GT2
@@gtone339 Sure, I know it's faster than most scooters but not quite as fast as this GT2. I was just trying to say I'm not surprised it gets more range since it doesn't accelerate like this and climb like this. Either way, the specs on the P100s were good and it looks very nice.
I got the P100S/GT1/GT2. Range wise I love the P100. It’s better than the GT2. If you’re looking for quality built, get the GT2. DO NOT get GT1. Big machine pack with a small battery. Go with P100. Or GT2
So u telling me they selling this for 4 k n it only goes 30 to 25 miles n speed only 35 to 40 lmao yea they bugging that scooter should be at least 1500 no more then that
Yeah but the build is just perfect. The look. I think this is easily the nicest looking scooter. Solid build. But yeah for 4k...I def have been looking at the Dultron Thunder 2 for getting my money's worth. Maybe they'll be some black Friday deals 🤣
I agree it's overpriced, but I think it's worth 3K. One thing that's not really obvious in this video is that this scooter is insanely stable when you're going fast, much more so than my Apollo Phantom. This is mainly the result of it's insanely heavy weight, yes you can get a 1500 to 2K scooter to go this fast but it's not going to feel as stable as this when you're moving at these speeds.
Dude you have no idea how nice this scooter is. It’s honestly amazing you really can’t imagine until you use it. Hands down the highest quality scooter I’ve ever rode. You can definitely get up to 43-45mph which is as fast as I ever wanted to go on any scooter no matter the top speed. It is on ANOTHER LEVEL when it comes to stable riding at high speeds. On the scooters that can go faster, you almost wouldn’t even want to reach their stop speeds because they don’t feel as safe as this scooter at the same speeds. This scooter makes the higher speeds more useable. But again…can’t stress enough how good the actual ride quality and hardware is. Videos honestly don’t do it justice. It feels more like a standing motorcycle rather than a e scooter. Also top speed aside, this is the fastest scooter I’ve ever rode in terms of accelerating and doing it STABLE hands down!
Right and without too many hills and with a lighter rider. I just want to show the realistic range you can get with a heavier rider at a faster speed with some hills.
Kinda disgusting reading these comments...you very clearly showed these scooters aren't worth a $4000 price tag! People are paying an extra 3grand just to have the "segway" name on their scooter.
@@gtone339 bro if it’s 4K then just by adding another 500$ on top you can get yourself a Honda CBR954RR Fireblade motorcycle that can go about 170mph. Idk man 4K just sounds not worth it to me 😔
