The Segway GT1 is the best scooter we have reviewed for under $2000. It won't win the top speed award or get the longest range compared to other similarly priced electric scooters, but it is easily the most refined and finely crafted scooter we have reviewed on the channel for under $2000.
Segway continues to improve on the GT1 by continuously making additional updates through the app.
In this video, we unbox, set up, walkthrough, and tell you what we love and hate about the Segway GT1.

I just got mine today. This scooter is no joke, very high build quality, very well packaged. App is functional, safety features galore, brakes are amazing. It is heavy!! and still accelerates faster than declared on segways' site. I plugged it in and got to 75% before the sun got low so I went for a spin, hit 38 all the way down to 30-40% battery. again, it is heavy, not the easiest for a noob scooter rider. suspension is awesome, 11x4 tires help a lot!!! range seems to be easily 30+ miles at higher speeds. you'll like it!
I have the Segway gt2 and going into park mode at an intersection is very annoying. I'm so glad you figured out how to keep it out of park mode by holding the hand brake, this has been very helpful for me. Thankyou
you can quickly push on\off lever for it to return to the last riding mode. yw
There’s something sooo sexy about a single-motor scooter that matches if not smokes most dual-motor scooters. I don’t need this but I want it so bad…
Just bought the GT1 for $1400 through Segway (with discount points). So excited to get it in the mail! Rode my ES4 for 1k miles and it still runs perfect but I live on an island where the speed limit max is 25mph so now I can keep up with traffic.
The horn is even better than you think. There is an option in the app to make the motor also vibrate with the horn (as long as the scooter is not in park) and it makes the horn sound amazing and the sound travels quite far.
The first scoot I’ve seen that I feel is actually worth the price. Doesn’t look like cheap junk, and the features are well thought out.
it is not cheap junk!!! I jsut got mine, this thing is built to last
@@greenwave819what happened?
it will go to the last mode set at park mode by tapping the power button once. Race mode>Park mode>power button>race mode
Imagine if Segway announces the GT3 with improvements people want
🤞
@@freshlycharged Have you guys tried the regen braking on the GT2?
Hopefully with big fat wider tires because GT1 and GT2 have smaller tinner tires that's what I'm waiting for.
@@zztop7000 12" inch wide tyres might do wonders for the GT3
@gtone339 Dualtron have bigger fatter tires plus ➕️ is much faster than Segway plus theirs scooter is out now! Segway made a mistake look at Dualtron,Hunter Quad,Works Scooter,Weped, Slick scooter all high performance scooter have fatter tires they just look sporty.
2k for a single motor and a small battery is still expensive
it's the most impressive single-motor scooter I've ridden. It outperforms a lot of dual motor scooters.
@@corndog9482 2k for gt2 would be good and 1.5k for gt1.
@@corndog9482solar p1 is cheaper and all it’s missing is cushier suspension and app support
@@Qu.Z. Personally owning a GT2, I would say that $2500 for the GT2, and $1,700 - $1,800 for the GT1 would be fair - but not more than that. The reason why I feel that way? The unmatched craftsmanship, build quality and high quality materials used. But I mean, the cheaper the better right? But that goes for anything. I personally got my GT2 for $2,300.00, so I'm pretty stoked.
@@Qu.Z. by the way, have you gotten the chance to ride one of these yet? I'm curious what you're basing your opinion what it should cost on, besides what *other* non-owners claim, and top speed metrics? Until you ride one, you really have no legs to stand on, let alone make claims of the value. Nowhere else at this current time are you going to find an electric scooter with automobile/Japanese motorcycle grade build quality and craftsmanship, especially for the money. If you know of any, prove me wrong. I'll be standing by.....
Great video as always, one question what do you guys do with all these PEV’S’s keep them, sell them?
Product to price ratio is amazing, I already own the Inokim Ox super at +$2k
This is a great upgrade if I’m ever going to sell my current ride
Totally agree!
I love your videos. You two could review laundry machines and I’d probably still find the videos fascinating.
Which laundry machine should we check out? 😂
I have the Segway G2 Max, it's great but the horn should be a loud Horn sound.
Purchased mine and love it, shopping for helmets any full face recommendations ?
Where did Andrew get his chrome faceplate helmet? Its awesome and reminds me of Cobra Commander! I need one.
I was able to purchase the GT1 for $1299 a few weeks back. It was delivered today. So excited to get to use it. Thank you for the awesome review.
Where did you get it from for this price?
@@mitch4136 He didnt

Bump lol
Is the brake rotor mounted to a plastic hub extension?
I had a Segway P100s become un-rideable after 15 days because of that.
Can you share what helmets you guys wear? They look pretty slick.
I like what Segway is doing in terms of quality and fit and finish. Would love to see a GT2 up against an Apollo Pro once all the kinks are worked out of that one. Currently riding an Apollo City Pro now that handles my 20 mile NYC commute really well.
Those are Predator helmets

My vsett 10+ came in the mail yesterday and I drove it at midnight because that’s when I had time, and I drove it on my lunch break for fun around the yard. That thing is so much fun. I’m really glad I got one. It’s purely for pleasure. It fucking FLYS which means a lot since I have a 700hp car.
That's a cute little scooter
@@Vmaxfodder it is, it’s really fun too
Great video guys! Have you reviewed the Segway Megatron GT 2 version? Also, just wondering how you are filming each other while riding at the same time?
My brother and I both had one, but I exchanged mine for the standard color. The only difference is the colorway, and the megatron edition comes with an engine speaker that comes with different engine noises than the standard Segway engine speaker, and a collector's plaque with the serial number. Oh, and the daytime running light is red on that one, as opposed to the natural 'white' on the standard. In case you're wondering why I exchanged mine was because I'm an older dude, and it the 'decepticon' logos weren't my thing. I also didn't like the thin white lines that grace the gunmetal finishes, and the red daytime running light didn't seem functional, as it was less visible. At night, when both daytime running light and headlight are on, mine seemed to have slightly more coverage especially closer to the rider, since the white daytime running light acted as an extension to the headlight, whereas the red light on my bro's kinda dulled that effect. If the megatron one had a solid gunmetal look without the (in my opinion) tacky white lines crisscrossing all over the body, and had white daytime running lights, I think it would have looked cooler and more aggressive/sporty, but as it is, in my opinion, I think the standard one looks much more classy.
Yes. We have a few videos of the GT2 on our channel. Check it out!
Andrew’s on the GT1, Jimmy’s on an EUC!
We have not reviewed the Megatron though.
@@corndog9482 thanks for your reply. Good info. I’m older too but still a transformers fan and I think it’s a cool ride.
@@freshlycharged I’ll check it out! Thanks!
Grea video, did you guys get the fold down height? And when its folded does it let you pick it up easy like the G3O?
Love the excellent review and the scooter isn't bad either. Where did you get those bad ass helmets? I want to replace my Triple 8.
Did you ever find them?
Could you tell me what you think would have the most range out of all the scooters you have tested for around the 3k USD price range. something beefy with at least a 280lbs limit. doesnt need to go 60mph. I seen the new Yume Osprey is claiming 100 mile range.
i think you can disable the auto park thing if you set the starting speed to 3 km/h or more ....
Man, this is awesome and at a great price. Now seeing how the price is dropping for both the GT1 and GT2 im wondering if segway will be coming out with a GT3 with even better performance specs and solving the issues other reviewers and owners have mentioned, specially the clunk sound from the suspension and the limitation on the peak speed and battery amp size. I probably should wait longer before making my final choice lol. I dont want to get a GT2 and then 2 or 3 months later a GT3 comes out hahahahahaha 😂
From what I gather, a 2024 "GT2" is on the way. Probably with the "fixes" you stated.
you pretty much ahve to snipe the best iteration you can scout. because new models pop faster than corn kernels over a 450 degree stove
GT1 is now $1500 on Segway's website.
@corndog9482 but but 2024 GT2 may costs 5k lol
For someone who weighs like 175 LBS, how much range can you expect with a 20 AMP battery on this scooter? (say with full throttle only, maximum speed?)
Hi, I recently bought a Segway GT1, and when i watched your video review on Segway GT1, i noticed on your app that showed on the screen, you have a Customize Mode Speed
Speed Modes & Zero Speed start, may i know what phone do you use and how can i have the samw settings like yours? Because mine does not have any thing you can change your speed mode on the app.. thank you
9:40 you can quickly push on\off lever for it to return to the last riding mode. yw
I just got the GT1 and I have tried the firmware upgrade it tells me I am on the latest, but I do not get the regen do you have any suggestions to why
The GT1 was on sale at Segway yesterday for $1,299.99. I already own one but I ordered a second one because the price was so low. Unfortunately the deal ended, but the current price is $1,599.99 so still a pretty good deal.
Where are you seeing it for $1599? I only see $1799
1500 now,
Around how long did it take for your scooter to ship?
Ordered it last Thursday, and it just arrived today.@@xDarkScorpiosx
Thank you for your review I'll stick with my Mercane MX60 much better with it's dual motor power. Have you guys review the Mercane MX60? Thanks again 😊!
Nothing beats Segway quality and safety.
imagine how fast it would be with two motors!!
I can tell you.... the torque is insane :)
GT2 has that covered!
Check out our GT2 review. You don’t have to imagine it!
I got a great quality 5600 w scooter on Amazon, dual motor, real adjustable shocks, 28 ah, over 50 mph, and only costed $1250
i am thinking about buy something like that i can for around same price in the UK
Does the gt1 has sentry mode ? Or any other locking system?
This scooter sounds like it would be great in it’s reliability. My concern that it wouldn’t be good enough on some hills(that’s what the GT2’s perhaps for). At almost 6’5” I’d like to have a 43” handlebar height from the deck up. I wonder what it is. Guess I’ll have to ask Segway.
Could you do a review on the Roadrunner RS5.
week ago I bought ninebot max g30 and I've already having is issue on scooter handle bar keep getting lose. so how to solve this problem thanks
where along the handlebar?
Got my GT1 delivered today from amazon for 1600 $ with tax that thing is huge and heavy good that i live on the first floor not gonna lie coming from Swagtron Segway ES4 Kaboo Mantis 10 to this beast it looks amazing will do a first try tomorrow =)
Does anyone know why on eu Version of the website the gt1 is called the gt1e and is not on sale and it’s slower and more expensive?
I like it, I'm just not sure about the "Superscooter" title when its single motor. It sounds like Segway are trying to make it more than it is. (Owner of a Phantom here).
Even as a GT2 owner, I chuckle about the "super" moniker - at least when it comes to top speed. But the acceleration actually does compete with the legitimate superscooters that are the 72v variants. Also, the build quality, craftsmanship and engineering (traction control system is an example) simply can't be matched by any other manufacturer at this time. Tell me one scooter out there that is as streamlined and clean with no exposed cables besides brake cables up at the very top.
What brand of helmet are you using?
How would you compare that to an F65
How easy is it to change the tires?
Find it strange you never reviewed the segway p100s
I can afford one of them, but the Weight's a KILLER !
It’s a big boy!
I guess they see the Apollo Pro coming
I just bought one today June 14th 2024 for $1,500
Can you Guys please help me with my Segway GT1? What’s the best way to carry my Scooter on my car? There is any “scooter rack” for cars ? (Nissan Ariya 2023 ) TIA!
Where can I get those helmets?
Can you review the okidas x5
What is the warranty on the battery?
Where is this? Seattle?
Back to the previous

When the scooter automatically enters PARK mode, press the Power Button to go back to the previous

I love my Segway GT2M❕ #324/1150
Would you buy this used for $900 with 400 miles on it? Is that a good deal?
Love my GT 2
I've tested many including the latest inmotion RS and I have to agree, this is by far the most stable escooter on the market. Vsett 10 was the worst. Wobbly AF. If GT2 goes below 2500, I'm buying one. $2999 is still too much when you can get something with more power and range.
It's a solid scooter!
you say this but don’t own any of the scooter you mentioned
@jBstfu Friend of mine works at Alien rides in SF I rode all of them.
Whoah, $1,529.99 on the site ads of 10-11-23. Cool how I just got the p100s for $1999 and the return window just closed 🙌🏼
Have you seen the new prototype of p100s looks like a GTs sick but i ordered GT1 and its gonna be delivered on monday
We can’t even use it legally in Western Australia.. we have a 25kg limit.. this weighs 48kg.
At 100lbs, this is one heavy scooter. Poor weight to performance ratio and weight to range ratio. I think the gt2 is the way to go if you really want a Segway performance scooter.
Hey I don’t know if you guys have tried the flytron scooter wide wheel
nope
I placed my order September 3rd for GT1 hasn't shipped yet how long it take to get yours?
congrats, man! You're going to fall in love
2 weeks for mine. I live in NY
it took a few weeks.
The code is not working!
You have to see it in person before you buy anything else, worth the price.
Hi all, I got my GT2 a week ago. The suspension clunk is unbearable! Has anyone solved this issue? I contacted the manufacturer and service centre and they all say it's normal. Any way to fix it without replacing the front shock? thanks!
Just buy a other seim wud be chipa, one for spar pats
Does the GT 1 have a removable battery, and if so can you show us how it is removed?
No there is no such thing as a removable battery in GT line up
I just bought the Kukirin G3 Pro !!!!! Scooter of the year !!!!!@@scyzorpl
I’m still waiting for the dualtron Thunder 3 review guys
It should be shipped soon. Just waiting for confirmation.
Right on looking forward to that too. Hey Andrew off topic comment. Is there any way you can help me get Yogi Steve an armored hoodie would be happy to pay for part of it if need be. He is riding that wolf around at like 50 now with no upper body protection. I am a fan of all you guys and have been subbed for years, I chat with him online a lot. He had told me that you had helped him with his channel and that he really looked up to you. I know that he really wanted to get a sponsorship for that armored shirt you guys showed off in one of your latest vids, but I think he would be more apt to wear the armored hoodie but either one. Would hate to see him get hurt AGAIN lol. Let me know what you think, thx for your time@@Andrew-vt4jt
@@Andrew-vt4jt great news can’t wait to see this one
I followed the link to the Segway GT1 store page, and it is showing as $2999.99. Did the promotion end?
It’s half price now
I just bought the GT1 for $1299.99. They are onsale for $1499.99 and I got $200 off
From which website???
the tires are a biatch to replace. Prepare your tires to receive punctures by using sealant in them. Keep them protected. Amazing scooter. Gt1 is perfect for most people. It's classy and fun af
Will a regular bike shop work on these.. If not where would you take it??
G30 with a suspension mod.. Im still waiting for a scooter for 2k that'll do 40mph just cause and isn't going to crap out after a few months.

The GT-series are impressive creations. The build quality
🤣😅😂 you clearly have NOT seen what is truly out there .
@@Vmaxfodder name some then. I'd love to know what other scooter can beat the build quality, craftsmanship and engineering of the GT-series. I'll be waiting....
@corndog9482 the FJ k6 is not a bad for the price range, but the title of best is hunter quad or weped black knight . The Koreans rule the scooter build .
@@Vmaxfodder Okay, I think you and I have differing opinions on the definition of the words "build quality", "craftsmanship", and "engineering". To me those are "garage creations" with shop level craftsmanship. If you equate "more power" with those above words, then we aren't even talking about the same thing, here. As for Weped? LMAO. Look, man. I'm Korean myself, and I wouldn't touch those things with a 10ft pole. But hey, if you're looking for unmatched "speed", then call it that. The components they use are off the shelf grade stuff you can find on alibaba and thrown onto a sketchy looking frame. If they were so "high-quality" they would stand by that and offer unmatched customer support and warranties. I've watched more than enough actual user reviews to know that's not what you get. Oh, and lastly, it's "FLJ". Those also look like garage hack jobs. Not exactly what I would call a feat of engineering simply because they can "go fast".
i never understand how scooters wind up weighing more then ebikes that have bigger hubs on them and alot more metal for the frame
Vesett 10r..
How does this compare to the segway
In what way? Speed, probably the Vesett 10r, but no other scooter maker can even come close in terms of build quality and craftsmanship.
Great review on GT1.Can you guys do a review on any apollo scooters? Thanks
Call Apollo and tell them you would like to see us review them. They said they were going to send us some scooters to test and review and then they never followed up.
22 real life miles is pretty disappointing though. and its 1500 right now on their website.
2000$ or even $3000 for a single motor scooter?? Wtf dude???? In what Metaverse are they living? They are the only ones asking that much on a single motor lol.
That scooter is mine ! Thank you.
What do you think of it?
Do I feel like an idiot? 😅 I paid 2k back in June and this past week in September it went on sale for $1500.
I called segway and they told me it'll take 4-5 weeks for delivery of this.. that's too bad bc i want one!
As a fellow Coloradan, I'm curious-how do you feel about scooters like this during winter weather? Moreover, how do you feel about scooters in winter, altogether? I've been riding the Max G2 since it launched and have been almost exclusively commuting with it during the summer. But as our colder weather approaches, I'm debating going back to driving my car or getting something like the dual motor Segway GT2 or an e-bike.
I don’t care for winter riding. I’ll ride down to around 45-40 degrees. Snow and ice? Forget it. I don’t trust these little tires. I don’t even like riding in the rain. The cold takes the fun out of it for me. Hands, feet and face freeze. Snot pouring down 😂😂😂.
Hey there, I live in Oregon and have played around riding in different weather for years. I have to agree on the temps you listed. I wont go out under 45 one thing I have found that kind of was a game changer for the hands was bar mitts that are made for bikes you can get little rechargeable hand warmers to put in them. Really is the only way to have good control so you don't have to wear bulky gloves. ride save :}@@grazz7865
We still ride in the winter if the roads and sidewalks are clear. Just need to have the proper safety and cold weather gear on.
What kind of helmet are ya'll wearing in the video?
its still £2000+ here in the UK
I don't know why these scooter companies put turn signals on the scooter. The average person in a car is not looking at a scooter wheel to see a turn signal...most cars/SUV can't even see a scooter wheel/signal because they so low on the ground.
I feel like it just something to give a false sense of protection. No car is paying attention to scooter blinkers
That's not true IMHO
Now its for $1499, should I get it, the GX2 for $1399 or the Apollo Coty for $1550?
get the gt1

Wait!!!! 11:16 That weighs 106lbs ????
Yes. Hope you've been lifting weights at the gym.
what has better value this for 2k or gt2 for 3k
It’s really tough. If you have the money, the GT2 is the best option. But if you don’t, the GT1 is great choice if you’re trying to stay under $2000.
My personal opinion mirrors Andrew's. If you have the money, GT2 all the way. Why? Because it's basically a 2-in-1. Via the app you can set it to be a GT1, but with impressive range (I get about 65 miles when I set it to one-wheel drive on 'Eco' mode cruising around 15-17 mph), but as soon as you enable that second motor, yeeeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaw, hold on to your belt buckles, Dorothy! Impressive amount of torque. Plus, you get that awesome display. Also, I'm not certain of this part, but even though people say that the suspension is the same between the two, it's easy to see that GT1's springs are black, where they are red on the GT2. Could it be just the color of the springs that are different? Sure! But it could also be a different shock/springs. I'd look into that if that's important to you.
This scooter feels so much better than anything in the price range. That doesn't make it a slam dunk recommendation. It's crazy heavy, the range isn't particularly good for the price and top speed isn't insane. Don't underestimate the weight. This is almost as non-portable as a stand up scooter can be.
Very good assessment. Do you have one?
@@freshlycharged Yes, I have a GT2 (although I believe the GT1 is the better value out of the two). I also have an Emove Cruiser and have ridden a couple other scooters in between the two.

Who should get this? Me that's who now if I could just rob a bank I'll be set.
