Xtreme e-Scooters

Segway, based in Bedford, New Hampshire, has unveiled a high performance, rugged and speedy electric scooter that gives new meaning to the word Xtreme.  Called the GT2, the e-scooter can move at 43.5 miles an hour and accelerate from zero to 30 mph in 4.2 seconds.  By comparison the average e-scooter's top speed is 15 mph. The company says this new e-scooter is so fast and powerful that you can do wheelies or jump down a flight of stairs and land, if you dare. The technology that enables all of this is amazing and so is the price of $3,999.00 when it becomes available in summer 2022.  GT2 is being called the "Formula 1 of e-Scooters".

Tech Specs

The GT2 is powered by a pair of 1500 W electric motors, totaling 3000 W of power.  Most e-scooters have 350 W.  If 3,000 W are too powerful for your preference, you can tone it down by using an app.  The vehicle has a range of 56 miles on a charge.  The 11-inch wheels have air shock absorption along with front and rear adjustable damping hydraulic suspension.  The vehicle is heavy, weighing in at 115 pounds.  There's a transparent LED screen display in the middle of the handlebars that provides vital information like speed, driving mode, turn signals and more.  Segway says the GT2 is not for everyone.  It's for riders who want speed and a wild ride.

Segway has also unveiled several other products including two, new scooters aimed at city use called the PSeries.  It also introduced the GT1 e-scooter that has a maximum speed of 37.3 mph.  Segway was founded in New Hampshire in 1999 by inventor/entrepreneur Dean Kaymen.  It currently is owned by Ninebot of Beijing, China, which develops short form modes of transportation.
