Segway announces new ZT3 Pro all-terrain electric scooter
Segway is launching its new ZT series of electric scooters this month, starting with the ZT3 Pro. The all-terrain electric scooter was first shown off in China earlier this summer, but on Thursday, Segway revealed that a US exclusive version is set to debut this fall.
The ZT3 Pro is the first of Segway's new all-terrain eKickScooters, built around a full-suspension frame. The escooter features a telescopic front fork and rear swingarm coil-suspension to handle rough terrain. The US version is also capable of speeds up to 24.9 miles per hour and a climbing slope of 25 percent with its 1,600-watt brushless motor.
There are a few notable innovations present, including Segway’s RideyLong technology, which allows the escooter to travel 43.9 miles on a single charge in Eco Mode and 18.6 miles in Sport Mode. Segway is also debuting its Segride technology, which ensures you have "a comfortable and safe ride even at higher speeds."
There are also plenty of smart features available on the ZT3 Pro, such as a wireless Bluetooth AirLock System, an upgraded battery management system, Flash Charge tech, and integration with Apple’s Find My service. You'll also find a 3-inch hexagonal LCD display on the handlebars that will show you real-time status updates including speed, charge, mode and more.
