Segway has officially announced the launch of its latest electric scooter, the Ninebot Max G3, bringing significant upgrades in speed, technology, and performance.

As part of Segway’s well-regarded Max series, the G3 aims to enhance the urban commuting experience with advanced features and improved ride stability.

Enhanced speed and performance

The Ninebot Max G3 boasts a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h), a notable increase from the previous Max G2’s 22 mph (35 km/h) limit. This boost in speed is powered by a 2,000-watt motor, which allows the scooter to accelerate from 0 to 15 mph (25 km/h) in just 2.4 seconds. With an impressive range of 50 miles (80 km) per charge, Segway’s proprietary efficiency system, SegRange, optimizes battery usage for extended travel. The 597 Wh battery can be fully recharged in 3.5 hours, with an optional fast charger reducing the charge time to 2.5 hours.

Stability and safety features

Given the increased speed, Segway has integrated advanced stability and safety measures into the Max G3. The scooter features dual hydraulic suspension for improved shock absorption and ride smoothness. Additionally, the new SegRide stability enhancement system ensures a controlled and balanced ride, particularly at higher speeds.

Braking and traction have also been upgraded, with Segway Dynamic Traction Control improving grip on various surfaces. The Max G3 is equipped with dual-piston disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, supplemented by an anti-lock braking system (ABS) for safer, more controlled stops. While ABS is commonly seen in motorcycles and high-end e-bikes, its inclusion in an electric scooter marks a significant advancement in safety technology.

Smart technology integration

Segway has incorporated a suite of smart features into the Ninebot Max G3 to enhance user convenience. A new 2.4-inch TFT smart display provides turn-by-turn navigation, real-time ride statistics, and notifications for incoming calls. The scooter also includes AirLock autonomous unlocking, enabling users to lock and unlock the vehicle via their smartphone without requiring a physical key. Additionally, Apple Find My compatibility allows users to track their scooter in case of theft or misplacement.

Advanced lighting system

Segway has taken lighting to a new level with the Ninebot Max G3. The scooter features a 360-degree lighting system, including an automatic headlight that is three times brighter than previous models. Underglow lighting and synchronized turn signals further enhance visibility and safety while adding a stylish, modern aesthetic.

An exciting 2025 for Segway and its Max series

With the Ninebot Max G3, Segway continues to push the boundaries of electric scooter technology. Offering increased speed, cutting-edge safety features, and smart connectivity, the G3 positions itself as a top contender for urban commuters seeking a high-performance and technologically advanced ride. As pre-orders open, the latest addition to the Max series is set to redefine the standards for electric scooters in 2025.
