Segway GT2 Review - WOW!

The Segway GT2 is a dual motor electric scooter with over 6kw of combined peak power weighing in at 116 lbs. Similar to the previous Segway scooter I reviewed, the actual performance of the GT2 was more impressive than the website lists. They claim the Segway gt2 can do 0-30mph in less than 4 seconds, which was accurate, but that claim is conservative considering the numbers I was able to achieve as a 200 lb rider. The top speed is listed as 44mph but my on board speedometer showed 48mph at one point, although I do believe the speedometer on the Segway gt2 reads just a little bit fast compared to my gps speedometer. Segway gt2 range will likely land just shy of 30 miles if you ride the way I do in this review video, but if you're a bit more conservative on the twist throttle you could potentially achieve the 55 mile range claimed by the Segway website.
All things considered the Segway gt2 is one heck of an electric scooter from a brand who's been in the game for decades and know how to do things right.

Listen and listen very carefully, while this is a great electric scooter, I have found it impossible to get replacement brake pads from Segway. Without replacement brakes, this scooter is useless. Until brake pads are available, I’ll prefer to live.

The price has dropped significantly, did you ever purchase one?
Makes sense that two motors is more efficient. I assume each motor is using half as much power meaning less I^2R losses. Halving the power reduces I^2R losses by a factor of 4.
Nice review. Covered all the bases. Well presented. I have the Megatron Edition, love the dark paint scheme and the red daytime running lamp. I forgot that I can select between one or two wheel drive.
I love mine here in Vegas. I got the megatron edition. It gets me from a to z with no complications when I avoid the terrible streets. It rides smooth as most bus lanes are also bike lanes. A lot of compliments and same old question "how fast does it go". The speed limit of 25 on eco, so no need to worry of being pulled over. I ride it to work, which is mostly on the strip or the festival lot. The charge is never a problem as it utilizes 2 charges. I get to take it into most stores or leave it at the front with it armed and connected to my phone. Yes, it wont stop it from being stolen but it will alert people to look at it when it is going off. I recommend this scooter to anyone with the money for it. Ride safe and enjoy your scooter.

Vegas has a 25mph limit on scooters? Interesting. Segway's a great machine, but with 25mph limit, you could get a much smaller, lighter scooter - unless you're a large person who needs the excess power of the Segway. I'm 200lbs & find my 1200w per wheel Apollo Phantom to be sufficient in accelerating up steep hills, etc. The Segway seems to have way more watts per wheel than all the others, including scooters that are considerably faster. Segway could have used 1500w per wheel for the same performance, it seems.

I also have 2 Kaabo Wolf King GT pros those have 2000w motors each wheel, I would have been happy with segway GT2 but took too long to produce. Btw the wolf kings will go 67 mph, too much power for most. I am a scooter hobbiest and have own 7, only 5 now😂. ❤land surfing, be safe be seen🤩🛴💨🤙👍

Thanks@@acwarf3946 , been scooter obssessed lately, only started looking into them seriously last Spring. I learned lately that watts per wheel doesn't matter much, yeah. It's up to the controller as to how much it draws from the battery to send the motors, as you obviously know. I thought it meant total possible power according to the throttle & ride mode. I did see a few reviews saying the Segway is the fastest acceleration up to about 40mph but it's artificially "cut off" at around that speed - far slower than it's capable of. Two reviews said it's 3000w each wheel, so maybe it was a special edition. On the 10" tires on my Apollo Phantom, I find 60km/h (40mph) to be fast enough. I've had it going 43mph but with no steering damper & those wee tires, I'm going to upgrade to possibly an Apollo Pro (12" tires, IP66). Ideally I'd like a Nami Burn-E2 Max due to the great reviews it's had from some of the people I respect most in scooter land. I'm in the "rather have higher speeds than I need but rarely use them" category. My scooter spends most of its life between 30 - 35mph, but given a sturdy frame, dampers, suitable tires & smooth road, you bet I'm gonna try for top speed! I grew up riding motorbikes so I've got that same part of the brain you've got, lol! Thanks for the info!

I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on the GT two. Do you still love your GT two and is it still doing good? No problems or anything
So glad your reviewing high performance ev's now!!!
I just happened to watch your first scooter review before this and can easily see the difference in your riding. You're definitely more comfortable on a scooter!
Super good looking design your video really makes me want one
I haven't had a scooter yet just e-bikes, but wow that thing is fast. Looks like loads of fun.
A super solid scooter. This would be good daily transportation. I like the thick stem and extra power. Thanks Matt.
I'll explain it once more about the dual motor efficiency thing: to reach a fixed amount of speed you need x amount of power. So for cruising at 10 mph you need 100w, for cruising at 25 mph you need 300w (let's keep the ground we are riding on out of the equation). In some scenerios 1 motor pulling 300w for doing 25 mph while if we used 2 motors it's possible we only are pulling 280w total.This is because motors have a efficiency range where they perform in the most efficient way. This means that some motors draw more amp and waste more energy as heat to reach the fixed speed. This is plotted on a curve. Each motor has his own efficiency "height" depending on the RPM. So to conclude, it depends on the motor they use.
amazing review. i love your spirit and your detailed analysis. how does this compare to the inmotion rs midnight, specifically in regard to front end stability? because of the dual fork. voromotors let me test ride everything except the rs. and any thoughts on the dualtron city with its huge tires? cheers!
hey Juiced. if you had to pick between the apollo phantom, the gt2, or gt 1 which one would you pick? how would you rate their suspension?
i wonder if segway will ever replace the z 10? its still a great wheel but i would love to see more range and suspension( with the issues worked out of course).
Enjoy your narration!! 🙂👍
Los Angeles would be the perfect playground for electric scooters! I have the ninebot max and ES2 from Segway, but these new GT1/2 models from Segway are amazing! I wish I could afford one!
I love my GT2 Megatron Edition. Have had absolutely no issues with it at all. I do want to say that when you get it make sure to update the firmware in the app as it addresses the issue of the dashboard reading the wrong speed.

The problem with this scooter is the weight. I live in an apartment without a lift. There is no way I will lift this thing up and down every ride. And that's the reason why I bought a G2 Max instead. Good video! Thanks!

They should reduce the power in the front wheel to something around 30-40 percent instead. The lifetime on the front wheel will be longer and also for safety reasons

It is a very nice, technologically advanced, and robust e-scooter! Yet, I would still prefer my old-tech, modified Speedway 5 with 4000W (60V28Ah) weighing 30Kg, rather than the GT2 with 6000W (50V30Ah) and a weight of 53Kg. The weight is a significant factor for me. Additionally, better acceleration and agility with 133W/Kg compared to the GT2's 113W/Kg. Moreover, the 30Kg weight makes it much easier to carry and manipulate, and it can still reach a top speed of 43.5 mph (70 km/h). But, for a heavier person with a garage f.e., I believe the GT2 may be one of the best choices otherwise.
How to buy from Indonesia?
i have just updated from a ninebot Max g2 to this GT2 and it has nothing to do in every aspect. th eGt2 perfromance and stability is more on the side of motorbikes.. you can use it in avenues and streets without any problem. you do not have those aceleration challenges you moght have with smaller scooters.
Nice deck!

Buy the segway C2 pro scooter,ive got it and is sick
They've been selling the gt-1 for $1500. I have the p-65 I got for $1000 its dope
You wouldn't be drawing twice as much power. In fact, you would be using significantly less because both motors have to work. Less hard to get you where you need to be
Maybe one day when my kids are adults I'll be able to get me one lmao on the plus side scooters and bikes will be so much more advanced by that time😂😅
Why did Segway opt for motors that are pretty well twice as powerful as they need to be? There are scooters with similar performance, with 1500w per wheel. Were Segway looking to compete at a higher level, or is a 3000w motor likely to have more longevity? Seems they could get a lot more speed out of it if they wanted to. TLDR: why the double-power wheels if the performance is almost identical to a Nami Burn-E2 Max with wheels @ half the power?
