PS: I'm reviewing the North America Variant, not the GT2P for Europe.
Firmware deployed for this variant (Transformers Edtion) is still on a testing phase before Summer Rollout.
Same, the app is the new revamped one, enabling functionalities like speed limits for different modes is the new firmware if detected.

Great video friend!! I have the G30 Max and the P100s, this one seems really cool with mentionable upgrades. Thanks for sharing!!!
Indeed, got both of them too, hard to get off the G30 Max between customization (firmware hack), spare parts, it's the GOAT of all time for sure. Yeah P100S is an awesome one too, love it, and many cool features. However GT2 is a step above. I wish they integrate some P100S good idea in this GT2, but as the GT2 went on the market before the P100S, that's explain why. With new firmware, revamp of the app and its new options, clairly it's a great deal. Especially this Limited Edition
Still wanting it.... ❤
Tu m'étonnes!
User's comment: "This video got me really interested in Segway! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series looks like a great backup power solution for camping trips. I love how it has a massive capacity and fast recharging. Can't wait to try it out!"Reply: "I'm glad you found the video interesting! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is definitely a reliable backup power solution for camping trips. Its massive capacity and fast recharging capabilities make it perfect for extended outdoor adventures. Give it a try and let me know your experience!"
Thanks for the comment. That's exactly what I commented on Segway FB Group dedicated to the Powerstation crowdfunding 👌I was looking to get my hand on one with enough capacity to fully charge it during trips and get a little bit more independant especially with solar panels. Unfortunately the budget is quite consequent, but clearly on the bucket list @segway
Yeah at first I did not like the fact that it goes into park when u stop. But after I realized why it does, I understood. To prevent going into park when stop, hold the break levers down. And if it happens to go into park, press the power button. When in park mode, pressing the power button, puts u back in the previous mode.
It's A Lot slower then the Wolf warrior GT PRO and more money, iv been on both and bought the Wolf, the Duel stym and big battery just out match the Segway. It's a beautiful beefy scooter, I just wanted more.
Enough choice for everyone. However last time I checked the GT Pro is priecer than the GT2
Many times it was around $2K since the past year while GT Pro during sales is at $2.5K.
While I'm riding city mostly, and not beach or shore tracks, the "7mph" difference is not really a con in that situation. Plus I got my 50 miles range with the GT2 like the GT Pro put on their spec sheet. GT2 was released/announced early 2022, GT Pro 2023, that's great it brings new addition for the price.. Who know if I'm living in Florida I would take it's successor.
@@C2F.C iv sean gt2 for 3,999 so if it's cheaper good deal, mine has hit over 65mph GPS flat surface.
Getting transformers version on Thursday the only reason I ordered it is because it’s limited edition
The price is pretty good now during sales, plus you got the BT speaker included too. Really nice addition 👀
They always say limited edition to get buyers to buy quickly. lol it’s a sales tactic. Don’t get me wrong I’m getting one myself. I just thought it was funny reading your comment 3months later and I’m getting the limited edition today. 😂
@@icceman87k50and what’s even funnier is it’s still for sale for $2499…….so much for limited
Good quality machine but for me, I don't like the style or the look, it's personal, that why I went with the Apollo Pro, I prefer the clean design, the GT2 tries to be a spaceship while the Pro tries to be something from Tron
Great video, but can it drive in sand? I'm thinking of driving it on the beach.
The tires are not meant for sand, more city or sturdy off road like gravels or else. I went close to the beach here, till it's not full sand, like compact and harder sand, it's okay, when it's fully dry/sugar like sand, you'll be stuck.
Hello guys, can you please tell what’s the difference between GT2 VS Megatron?
Megatron got specific cosmetic customization and comes with the Segway BT Speaker accessory + a specific limited and numeroted plate in the box. Not to mention day light is red instead of white.
All the rest is identical.
Thanks for the review.
At the end of the day, do you think it's worth the premium? For comparison, for $1,600 on Amazon I can get a Tifgalop scooter with 60V40A battery and 5,600W motors. I am sure the Segway is a great scooter, but is it worth the price? Thanks.
What's a Tifgalop, it doesn't even sound like a real brand, and it's not pronounceable. I work at a scooter shop, and we only carry known brands like Segway, Dualtron, VSETT, etc. They are not cheap, but they are better quality. For no-name oem scooters, we would need to provide too much after-sales support as they break easily so they are not profitable.
Thanks for the comment and for watching it.
It's worth it versus the follow-up the brand does with their products, many available spare parts, and yeah, it's pretty expensive versus no name brand but cells, build quality, etc., got a price vs no name brand using the same ODM platform with sometimes not such good Quality Control.
Don't get me wrong, VS, the volume produced, for sure, some devices will be faulty, but Segway is like the Rolls Royce Scooter when it comes to super scooters like that.
Now you are riding it at high speed, your life on the line; I might sound silly, but avoid any risk with not renowned 3rd party brands.
For the battery, depends of quality, bms, power draw and optimizations too. So higher doesn't mean better.
So the only difference between the regular GT2 and the transformer is the detail on the scooter?
Like any Limited Edition for any kind of device, not to mention accessories included that regular variant doesn't have. Licensing always comes with a price.
Yeah not worth getting the limited for the price especially if you want the speaker you can just buy that separately and save hundreds
@@emildeaton2434 except you can this limited edition for $3200 with all the perks included 👀
One of the most comfortable scooters out there. It's just the battery capacity is so incredibly low. I still don't understand how they use such a small battery for such a large scooter. If an aftermarket range extender kit comes out, I'll probably get this scooter.
Incredibly low? Hitting 80kms range with no issue. Huge battery is no need if you got a too high power draw. Optimization is pretty good by Segway.
For the comfort, on that, for sure 👌
@@C2F.C Do you actually get 80km? I haven't tested this scooter myself as it's not really good seller at my store. I think one of the main reason is its battery is only half of what other scooters in this price range offers. I have seen others review this scooter though, most people get in the mid to low 40s, which is inline with what a scooter with a 1.5kwh battery should get.
How do you ride your scooter? Like do you do single or dual? And what is your average speed while moving?
Honestly, many people make their own range test videos. If you can make one of you going 80km distance, it will be amazing, as no one on TH-cam has done it yet.
@@davidajzhang 90% city
Obviously not going at 70km/h in town.
Dual motors, eco is set at 30km/h, sport at 40, race at 50 km/h
When traffic jam and road with traffic lights usually I stay on custom eco, so 70% of the time. Long Avenue sports so 20% of the times, and at night, no one on the roads and when I know, around 10%.
And I'm around 75Kg too. Keeping 50 PSI for the tires.
With all the times at 28km/h, dual motors, I hit the 90km range.
I tried single motor when I hit only 15% battery left (miscalculation from my side I forgot to do something and had to do some errands not planned), from 15 to 0 (just dead reaching home) I pull up around 19km range.
I forgot, recovery and break energy at strong settinga both.
Exterior temperature around 25/28 degrees. Obviously, with cold temp we got around 5 degrees now, I need to recalculate but I think I'm more around 60/65km range, maybe 70. Same, need to change top speed too vs the road conditions. Thinking about 28/37 and 45km/h speed limits.
@@C2F.C You really should make a video. Have you tried an app called ReLive? I use it to record my trips sometimes. It's a free app, and makes a nice animated map at the end. The reason why is no TH-camr has gotten a range more than 50km. So you might be the first.
Also, this scooter is designed for the roads. I live in Canada, and most roads are 60km/h in the city, around 70 - 80km/h in rural areas. So when I ride anything, I try to keep the same speed as cars, so there is minimum relative speed between me and my neighbour, I personally feel the safest this way.
I bought this scooter to commute to work. 20 miles from home. The scooter barely makes it in sport/race mode. Personally, for the price.. I agree that the battery range should be more.
I just don't like those tiny tires is small and skinny. They should replace those tires with wider and thicker to look sporty. Everything else is perfect except those tiny small skinny tires.
I would say for riding in the city, that's okay, for off track, dirt trail of else, not adapted. However at some point it's like having a car and switching your tires for the season or your needs. I guess we're at this point with this kind of super scooter 👌
segway "sent over" a kimited edition to a 300 sub channel.....k
Rohhh, when jealousy hits hard 😂
➡ Hopefully for me, I got more social medias and followers than this little YT channel 😂
U know.. I am not sold on the looks of this scooter. I do not find it attractive at all. It is very comfortable thou. My 6 y/o daughter's school is a mile away from the house. So I drop/pick her up on the scooter. It's pretty steady and very comfortable. The downside for me is the battery range in sport/race mode, would be nice if it had more lights, it's a beefy scooter.. very heavy and probably will not fit in most vehicles, the headlight could be brighter, handle bar doesnt fold low enough, and it's pretty ugly in my opinion.
The price is more than the scooter value the battery doesn't last that much and suspension is not good at all
Vs my settings, no issue vs. suspension. Vs Battery, I will tell you in a few months, but I'm reaching the 90Km in eco as promised. So far, so good, and match the expectation.
Can’t understand one word
Well, Well... as auto-generated closed captions seem to understand perfectly what I'm talking about, just activate them ^^
Obviously English is his other language. How many can you speak?
Obviously, and can speak 3 other more.
@@C2F.C Kudos. Thanks for the video.
Thank you, much appreciated 🤗
