Segway is entering the pacy end of the electric scooter market with the release of the GT2 e-scooter that boasts a top speed of 70 km/h. The Segway GT2 is a standing electric scooter that seems to have heralded Segway into the high-performance territory with its features.
The Segway GT2 seems to be in a class of
its own among standing electric scooters. Its features are different from the
standard expected of standing e-scooters. It has 11-inch wheels, two electric
motors with a combined power of 3kWwhich can deliver speeds up to 70 km/h. The
Segway GT2 can go from zero to a speed of 48 km/h under 5 seconds. There is also
traction control to modulate the speed and power when there is a possibility of
the wheel slipping.
The fast nature of the Segway GT2 may not
engender licensing in some places but the e-scooter’s speed could be reduced by
interfacing with the smartphone app. The GT2 also comes with dual adjustable
damping hydraulic suspension. The front fork of the Segway GT2 also has a solid
suspension that firms up the model. The scooter can take weights up to 150 kg
while the scooter itself weighs 52 kg. The Segway GT2 has a range of about 120 km
and will be available towards the end of the year.
