Major issue I have with this review was the amount of time you spend talking about off-roading when this is not designed for that. This is clearly a city scooter for city use on paved roads. But you wasted a bunch of time describing how it's not for off-road.
My guess is that he wanted to set himself apart from the other people who are making reviews on this scooter. Plus a lot of people are going to use this scooter for its unintended purpose so it’s nice to have a perspective on what if.
The folding mechanism is pretty much useless because there's nowhere to secure the stem it when it's folded. It's too big to fit inside a normal trunk.
And too overpriced for the specs I know for sure has the specs of a 2k worth scooter when really shouldn't be worth 4k lol. But it's a gorgeous looking scooter but to heavy to carry feel sorry for those that have to carry it up the steps.
Awesome Video. I have a "Beast Scooter", the Dualtron THUNDER II. Been looking for a powerful and stable cruiser and the Segway is it. No off-roading for me so this will be a joy I'm sure. Test ride to confirm. Thanks again
Great looking scooter! With that performance and speed I would prefer a larger front wheel. The risk of a faceplant due to the small front wheel is always present.
not really it seems you havent riden this kind of scooter. let me tell you this will never make you faceplant,given you know how to ride a beast like this!
Lol, I have a P65 and have hit some pretty large bumps, I don't even have suspension and have never had a situation where the front wheel hit something that even came close to stopping the scooter.
GT series provides 11-inch by 3.6-inch tubeless tires. I think these are the biggest scooter wheels that Segway makes so its a good start. anything less than 11 inch's is to small for urban city riding because of the potholes.
Looking for a Scooter like this but to put in the trunk of my car in case of a break down, or to zip around town. Only concern is battery exploding if it gets too hot inside the car 🔥
@@westmcgee9320 yup some adults are not as smart as others unfortunately you had to be one of them also before you start getting emotional and start thinking with that small brain of yours just look at yourself in the mirror and say "is it really worth it"
I've got two Segways. G30LP and now the Ninebot S. Segway makes well built, quality scooters. I think they are the top when it comes to PEV. Just like Tesla is top of EV life. Berri No-ICE.
Try any custom or even commercial high-end scooter like the Wolf king GT or Venom and you'll see that in terms of performance, Segway is nowhere near the top. But they probably aren't aiming for the top when it comes to performance either so that is me being fair =) It's a solid scooter that's for sure though!
I love Segway products but the new Inmotion coming out eats this things lunch on range, power, top speed and features. I can’t speak to the build quality as I haven’t put my hands on one but the reviews seem to be great. I know Segway is great as I’ve bought two but assuming the the build quality is there the Inmotion smokes this thing in every category with the exception of price unless you preorder the Inmotion in which case it will be $3500 before release which is 24% off of the retail price. I’m really excited to get my hands on one.
Three things I'm looking for. Can you change the speed settings on the fly? Can you change from one motor to two motors on the fly? Does it have turbo on demand? 2019 Dualtron Eagle.
How come guys over 6' and 200+lbs never do these reviews. Or maybe these things are only for smaller stature people hum... idk hard to decide if this would be something to invest in.
There is something that happens when i ride my segway gt2 scooter that i have not noticed to such a great degree, before. it seems children absolutely love the segway gt2. and i mean children that can just start to walk, all the way up to pre teen age, and including children, and adults, of all ages. they look and point and smile and tell their friends to look, and tell their parents to look, and they wave. it is just a delight, to brighten up the day, for those that just love to see this scooter. and truly, this scooter is a joy to ride! segway really went above and beyond with this scooter. there is still huge room for improvement: 1. we need fast fast charging. not slow fast charging. presently, two chargers providing a total of 4 amps to the battery takes over 7 hours to charge. we need at least two five amp chargers, and preferably, fast fast charging which would permit the scooter to charge up to at least 80% within one hour. 2. a much much larger capacity battery. presently, the battery is only 1512 watt hours. this is highly insufficient. i need at least 3000 + watt hours of battery capacity. 3. this scooter needs to be a little faster. there are many super scooters that can reach 60+ miles per hour now. come on segway, you can top that speed! 4. higher voltage battery: this battery is only 58 volts. the chargers charge this battery up to 58 volts. the wolf king gt, wolf king gtr, nami viper (high voltage version) dualtron thunder, dualtron storm and many more, charge the battery up to 84 volts fully charged. that is a significant difference. segway note that the voltage was kept low for safety. what does that mean? i feel very safe with my 84 volt fully charged scooters. higher voltage would permit greater speeds, and greater range and greater efficiency as well. 5. i need a seat as an option. i like having the ability to add a seat, if and when needed. the segway gt2 does not presently have a seat option. this is also important to me. the wolf king gt pro offers a seat option. many of the dualtron scooters offer a seat option. note: i think it is very important to take the very best of each scooter company, and add these features and abilities to your specific design scooter. i still like the segway gt2. its a great scooter, and i am very excited to see the future of segways super scooter designs and abilities/capabilities. thank you for a great video!
I ordered this scooter and had the delivery company call me to set up delivery time... But I declined it because of the reports of the clunky front end (which Segway says is normal apparently) and the surprisingly small battery and voltage setup. Why oh why Segway did you not go with min 60v (preferably 72v setup) instead of a 52v for your flagship model? Make it 72v and max speed of 55-60 and your in business to be leader of the pack!
@@sergiolandz6056 Well that sucks! I'm getting around 70-80 miles on my DT2 on Eco mode. With eco off, I get around 50-60 miles but speeds of 50-62mph. I don't ride at those speeds often. I like to ride but not take unnecessary risks.
A $3,500-$4,000 scooter should be able to do at least 50-60 mph even if you don’t ride that fast. This top scooter needs a better top speed. Should be $2500 to $3000.
There, in addition to the maximum speed, there are problems in the form of narrow stators of 4 cm, which overheat from such power, a small battery capacity ... the problem with the knock of the shock absorber seems to have been eliminated by replacing it with a slightly different one. Also, you can’t put PMT tires, although this is no longer such a big drawback, the ground clearance cannot be changed compared to the same inmotion. A scooter for an amateur, that inmotion rs is a little better in many things and I think now this is the most balanced scooter.
I keep telling people that while these look cool, you can get even faster performance for less than half as much and also in something that doesn't have to weigh 116 lbs. Example, Solar Scooter P1 Pro; 50 MPH top speed, dual 2000w motors and weighs less at 70 lbs. I can lift (barely) 70lbs but 116 lbs, no way.
Inmotion rs is better, at least it is not as tight in terms of characteristics, it also has a good design with adjustable clearance and suspension travel.
Thank you for your input! While the Inmotion rs may have its strengths, the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series offers a massive capacity of up to 5kWh, fast recharging, versatile sockets, and comprehensive protections. It's also built with waterproof technology and provides an uninterrupted power supply. Consider checking out the Cube Series for your outdoor adventures and home backup power needs!

You talk about whether it’s suited to off-road. Mate your helmet should be more in question. Invest in a full face. What happens you come off and kiss the dirt going off-road?
People keep bashing the price, but it's only $2500 and the gt1 is $1500. These scooters are supposed to be commuting tools to replace a car which is very expensive to run and maintain. Other people bash it for not having the best specs, but specs don't matter when your shitty AliExpress BMS dies on the way to work. Back in my day the boosted scooter was king and boy has this thing bested it!
Get proper riding gear. Bike helmets, like the one you are wearing, are only rated to 20mph. Elbow and knee gaurds would help too. 23 mph sent me to the ER and almost took out my lungs. Stay safe.

My guess is that he wanted to set himself apart from the other people who are making reviews on this scooter. Plus a lot of people are going to use this scooter for its unintended purpose so it’s nice to have a perspective on what if.
trust me bro someone who's willing to pay around 3.5k on this e scooter is wiling to drive it off-road as well lol
I own an e bike... I had this gt2 1 week and What's very surprising that I found is how I am able to ride longer with less Fatigue on the scooter.
Has alwys , great video review 🤟
You forgot to talk about the folding mechanism or showing how to fold the scooter lol 😆
Haha whoops! Sorry 🤪
The folding mechanism is pretty much useless because there's nowhere to secure the stem it when it's folded. It's too big to fit inside a normal trunk.

I wouldn't keep it in my car.. unless your plan on using it that day..
You can tint the glass display of center console which should give you more visibility.
How do you tint it?
What a great looking piece of kit great video I'm watching this from the UK I owned a ninebot max which was great keep up the awesome reviews
Watching from the Uk .. frustrating isnt it 😂
Wow 56 Miles Sick. I still have a ECORECO L5 plus
That screen is so dope
i mean it kinda is, but no good in direct sunlight, unreadable!
Incredible video thank you 😍
Thanks for the visit
Isnt it a nice ride though ,you just cant compare it to a Wolf King GT or another that's more suited for off road . Good for a hard packed trail .
I have a e-scooter so i really want this
I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work. Be safe out there.
Beautiful review my brother, keep it up God bless ✝️
I appreciate it
“You’ll save a ton on gas” my excuse for buying lol 😂
Excellent Tutorial Review Video. Thank You Ben.
wut yu want are knobys for extreme off roding short knoby for comute and off rodes and slmost flat for strictly comuting
The problem of this scooter is the weight unfortunately. If your house or work have even a few stairs or steps. You can forget about this scooter.
The weight it’s because of the capabilities. Maybe a lighter battery can reduce the weight in future models
It's freaking beast one of the best scooter it rips and it's so smooth 🔥🔥🔥
Honestly the Tesla of scooters this thing RIPS
Not quite the compliment I think you meant.

its only 600 off now 4000? it was 3500 before?
Eco mode the best for long using without changing the tires
Would love to experience this beast under my feet. You really put her through her paces. 🍺cheers
Thanks so much! I wish everyone could experience the Race Boost mode 🏎️
Wait...how does it collapse?
Love the video the horn sucks.
How long will this thing last?? What’s the warranty on it?
what about rain?
Is that Georgia clay?
can you put somewhere a phone mount on this thing ?
43mph is that it
It can go faster, when going downhill.

You can adjust the suspension!! Slow or fast
1 question: Have you ever tried a Nami Burne Max?
