Segway has unveiled its latest innovation in the electric scooter market: the GT3 Pro. This new dual-motor e-scooter is designed to deliver top-tier performance, advanced features, and a comfortable ride, setting a new standard for what a “SuperScooter” can be. Revealed alongside the GT3 model at CES 2025, the GT3 Pro is poised to make a significant impact in the personal electric vehicle space.
Power and Performance
The Segway GT3 Pro boasts a powerful 7000W dual-motor system, a significant upgrade from the 2400W single motor found in the standard GT3. This setup allows for incredible acceleration, reaching 30 mph in just 3.9 seconds in Ultra Boost Mode and a top speed of 49.7 mph (80 km/h). This makes it one of the fastest e-scooters in its class.
- Dual Motors: The GT3 Pro is equipped with two 3500W motors, providing a combined peak power output of 7000W.

- Top Speed: The scooter reaches a maximum speed of 49.7 mph (80 km/h).
- Climbing Ability: It can tackle inclines up to 38%.
These specifications make the GT3 Pro a true powerhouse, capable of delivering thrilling performance on various terrains.
Extended Range and Battery
The GT3 Pro is equipped with a 2160Wh battery utilizing a new 72V high-voltage platform that provides a generous range.
