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 70km/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 70km/h. The Segway GT2 can go from zero to a speed of 48km/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 150kg while the scooter itself weighs 52kg. The Segway GT2 has a range of about 120km and will be available towards the end of the year.
