SegwayZT3 Pro Electric Scooter, Up to 24.9 MPH, 43.5-Mile Range, Dual Suspension, Flash Charge, 1600W Peak Motor, Off-Road Scooter for Adults UL Certified (UL2272/2271)

To be clear, in case Amazon doesn't do it for me, I bought the Segway ZT3 Pro. When I purchased it, it seems it was sharing a posting with a different, smaller Ninebot scooter and made it very difficult for me to find the correct reviews for this specific scooter. But since Segway was such a well-known company, I was able to find plenty of YouTube reviews and I recommend you do the same if these reviews don't do you justice, there are many on there!I commute daily by e-scooter and train, have been for the past 2.5 years. I live in the Chicagoland area where we get ALL OF THE WEATHER year-around. This is my 3rd scooter now, first two were cheaper no-name brands so it's no wonder I've had to move on, but even at this scooters price point, this is still dramatically, significantly cheaper than driving. So, if this scooter only lasts me a year, I'm still coming out on top. Anyway... I say all of that to say, from an experienced scooter commuter perspective, I love this scooter! My last scooter was quick, topping out at around 30mph, this one only tops out at around 25mph but it gets there in an INSTANT!!! It clearly has more gusto to go much faster than that, but Segway has placed an obvious limiter to restrict it. To give an example, there is a hill by my house on a bike trail that when riding a bicycle, I don't know the grade %, but I often tucker out right at the very top of it, rarely do I make it all the way up and that's approaching it at full speed after a steep downhill. In my last scooter, which like I said was faster than this one at top speed, it made it up the hill with generally no problem, but I could feel it struggling at the very end. THIS SCOOTER however! Went up like I was in a car! I turned around to try it again without the built-up speed, just a raw start at the bottom of the hill, again, climbed right up like it was nothing!Now, my only experience with this so far has been in the winter months since I bought it at the end of the year, so I've been riding it in the extreme cold. Surprisingly I haven't had an opportunity yet to ride in snowy or wet conditions, I keep needing to drive on those days, unrelated to the scooter. But one little drawback I have learned, on extremely cold days, like in the teens or colder, when I first start riding, the scooter rides fine at first, but then out of nowhere it will just do an extreme jolt and lose power to the drive wheel. I push the throttle, and I get nothing, nothing, nothing, then suddenly it's back to normal! Only does it once a commute! Which consists of 2 trips, one from home to the train, and another from the train to work. Doesn't matter which way I'm going, but it's often on the second trip, and I don't understand why. But to be fair, they don't recommend you ride in extreme weather anyway, so I can't really mark this against them, I'm just glad it functions normally otherwise. Any temperature above freezing I have no issues there!Also, on the commute tip, this scooter is heavy! 65lbs. My last scooter was 55lbs and I used it for a year and a half before it broke badly, so I'm a bit used to this sort of weight on my commute, but it's a lot if you ever need to carry it for an extended period of time, and there is no easy way to roll it unless you unfold it. But one particular problem for me personally, and maybe you too, is that once folded and locked in place, you can press the handlebars down again into release it. Genius engineering, yes, but for people like me who go through revolving doors, I cannot trust myself to pick this up folded vertically and squeeze into the revolving doors. I run a serious risk of unfolding it mid-revolution and causing all kinds of a catastrophe! So, I'm forced to enter-exit the train station at a less-than-ideal entrance. Also, this design runs a risk of you frequently slipping out of the lock upon picking it up, thinking it was latched but it wasn't. A simple re-application will get it latched back in place as long as you don't push too hard which will release it. Yeah, tricky... I have to do it frequently daily, so I'm getting the hang of it, on week 2 now.The main thing that drew me to this scooter is the brand name, because I knew that if I needed parts, in theory I should always be able to go back to them for parts if/when they break. Also, they claim to be UL2272 2271 certified, so I and my boss don't have to worry about this spontaneously combusting in the office or at my home. Also, it has an IPX5 water resistant rating, can't recall the details of that I just know it can withstand driving in the rain, which I encounter a lot on my commutes, as long as you don't submerge it. My last 2 scooters didn't promise any rain resistance and resulted in some electrical issues and led me to waterproofing them myself. I can tell by the construction of this alone that it will keep the battery away from any water really well, so I am not in the least bit worried there.Also, something no one seems to mention, not even in the YouTube videos, the headlight! I was concerned because there didn't appear to be anywhere to mount my own and the light looks small. Well, I'm pleased to announce that on my very dark trails by my house, the light shines exactly bright enough for the top speed it can travel. I am happy with it! Also, there is a breakaway panel on the handlebars if you want to mount anything you'd mount to a normal sized handlebar. In my case I mounted a horn and wrapped the button around the handlebar grip. Speaking of the horn (it's related I promise) the regenerative braking! You can set how strong the regen is through the app (off, low, standard) I have it set to the strongest setting, standard because of the pedestrians downtown. On my last scooter I wiped out a few times because people don't pay attention, and I can't get the thing to stop fast enough. On this scooter, with regen set high, I see a sudden obstacle, take my hand off the throttle, the scooter starts slowing down tremendously, my hands make it to the brakes, I stop much sooner than I normally would've. Also helps when approaching a blind corner, I can ease off the throttle until I get a good look, then throttle it back up to quickly regain my speed.Speaking of regaining speed, part of my journey includes riding with traffic, and even without the boost mode activated, I find myself accelerating at around the same pace as the average driver casually taking off at traffic lights. So, I don't feel like I'm impeding traffic at all. Having turn signals are also a huge help in letting people know my intentions safely.Last few quick mentions as this comment has become a book, I'll be quick about the rest of this:The battery charges very quickly, my daily commute on this is 10 miles, previous scooter would take from 6:30pm to almost midnight to charge. This one only takes about 2.5 hours, but just know the charge brick gets extremely hot to touch, so keep it away from anything sensitive to heat.The app is great and apparently will always update and advance as time goes on and user experiences come in. The scooter can be updated and adjusted through the app as well. Very comprehensive, very cool. Also has "Apple Find My" and a locking/alarm feature which is very nice and works nicely.Rides very smooth, almost car-like, perhaps like a serious pickup truck. Though it rattles in the back when going off-road, not sure why, everything seems very tight to touch and holds together, so it can be ignored, I'd say, but despite its off-road claims, I'd keep it on the road for safety. Only light dirt trails for this scooter, I think.Overall, a great buy for the price! This is by far the most robust scooter I've ever owned! Not for beginners, but it can be set to go very slowly if a rider is a beginner, this scooter rides quite high too... so you've gotta be able to mount it. I'm 5'7" 210lbs and I feel it, but down to about 5'4" maybe 5'2" or less I wouldn't really recommend this.EDIT: I corrected the IPX water resistance rating I found on Segways website. Also, I just want to say how much I love this scooter! So far it rides well in shallow snow, though even though it has traction control (which I have no idea how well it works when there's literally only one wheel being monitored) I've had a bit of slippage once or twice, so you still have to ride with an abundance of caution on slippery surfaces. But once you get some grip, it's ready to haul it over the pavement! I don't know if I mentioned it already above, but the turn signals and mode selector can be a pain to press correctly when wearing gloves. Not only do I always have to look down and purposely press the button I want when signaling, but often times I accidentally press either the custom button or the mode button which can be extremely annoying and difficult to correct in the moment. Also, the fact that it automatically "parks" itself when not in motion for more than like 3 seconds. All you have to do is either pull the brake lever to get it out of park or just hold the brake the entire time you're sitting still to avoid going into park... but it's still annoying and apparently a signature of Segway products.EDIT 2: It's March now, been my daily driver, winter is coming to an end, still absolutely loving it! But I would like to make a comment about the bluetooth connectivity and the locking/airlock function etc. It all goes hand-in-hand and it's not very good due to the spotty bluetooth connection. Up until yesterday I'd just been riding with it unlocked, no big deal, it's usually with me anyway, but I decided to try and set a code I liked and just live with it... didn't last long. It'll let you free-roll it while turned off as long as your phone is nearby (you can set the distance) and the bluetooth is connected, but as I was rolling it through the train station, out of nowhere it decided to just start locking up the drive wheel on me. It lost connection to my phone, so I had to turn it on and use my manual passcode to unlock it... and even that was a bit finicky, it kept not registering my first 2 inputs (using the arrows locking method rather than the number code) so I'm standing here in the train station in the aisle messing around with this when I need to be trying to make my train. Best believe, soon as I got on the train, I disabled the lock and just went back to the normal unlocked state. I'll reserve the lock for when I'll be away from the scooter for long periods of time, thankfully it's super quick to enable and disable, storing your set codes if needed. However, it is sometimes a question of whether or not my phone will connect to the scooter at all, leaving me without a way to turn off the locking feature and just living with the lock until I can connect and disable it. Bit annoying if you followed all of that I said... but like I said, I just leave the lock disabled, rendering that whole feature kind of useless for me. Also, I'm still waiting for availability of a new turn signal indicator. I managed to secure the broken one back on the handlebar and it's working and looking just fine, but Segway still hasn't alerted me of a new one available for purchase, and also there are no tires available for purchase on Segways website either, only a whole front wheel and tire assembly (I think, because it only says "wheel" but shows the whole thing). I found the matching tire on Alibaba, but Segway should really have one readily available to purchase on their website as it is a wear item and, in the past, I have needed a new drive tire after about a year on previous scooters. So, for me, time is ticking for them to add that to the website.

Everything was perfect from shipping, to packaging and set up to riding. So easy to connect to Bluetooth and start riding. 1st time I've ever set something up Bluetooth where it connected the first time. Super easy setup and the scooter rides like a dream. Great suspension and very fast. Not sure why someone wants to ride these things 30+mph, but 25mph is fast enough. LOVE, Love, love it!!!

I only road this scooter around my block but Im excited to get to work... Who says that!? This scooter is a game changer. I had the $300 Segway Ninebot, cute and nice scooter. THIS THING IS A BEAST COMPAIRED TO THAT! This is the most stable ride ever from something of this size. Keep in mind its beefy because of battery and performance this offers. Completely worth the money and my husband was talking about getting a scooter. I straight up told him we wont waste money on other types or brands, this is it. I have finally found the scooter I needed.Few things to note already:1. They say tubeless but they do have a pressure for tires. I got a compressor thinking out of the box it needed it, it did not. HOWEVER! you should always check tire pressure because of temp changes and such but also to make the ride safe.2. Because its tubeless I have yet to do my homework on cost should a tire go. Same with the system and how to change a tire. (A bridge to cross when I get there and aim sure I will have updates.3. I recommend a full face helmet. Like I said this thing is a beast and should be treated as such. Im even looking at getting riding gear to make sure I am safe should something happen.4. The bell sucks.... Sorry but hard facts. I expected a bit louder considering but there is an after market horn I bought that really helps. I mention this because I am in LA and traffic is wild.... No one will hear that small bell.Overall: Worth the money, extremely well built and totally fun. I had a smile to full time riding this scooter. If you rode a scooter before ditch what you knew and buy this. 😍

Ok I was doing a lot of research and for what this scooter does for the price is so good. I live in nyc and I could go from 102st east side to 64th west side riverside drive in like 15-20!!! So good so fast and so much fun. Practice with the speeds cause it does goes fast and you don’t want to hurt yourself. It’s a really good scooter and my first. I’m constantly getting compliments for how cool and how dope she looks so that’s a plus. Might get some led lights cause it might look more sleek. The X light is probably my fav feature it has lol. I named mines PSYLOCKE LOL. and she does move fast like a ninja hehe. But get the scooter!!!!!!
