Every now and then, we come across an electric scooter with exceptional performance and outstanding all-terrain potential. This year, it's the Segway ZT3 Pro.
A new offering from the globally trusted brand, Segway, the ZT3 Pro is a powerful e-scooter built for both city streets and off-road trails. With Segway’s solid track record to back it up, it delivers a blend of expert engineering and cutting-edge technology for a ride like no other.
But, what sets it apart from other all-terrain electric scooters, and why might it be the ideal e-ride for you?
Let’s find out.
Getting to Know the Segway ZT3 Pro
Before anything else, let’s not forget that this e-scooter is a Segway, which says a lot on its own. Known for their reliability and innovation, Segway has consistently delivered high-quality products—something we can vouch for—and the new ZT3 Pro is no exception.
Equipped with Segway’s high-quality components and innovative features, the ZT3 Pro delivers on all fronts and ensures a smooth, powerful ride whether you’re commuting in the city or exploring roads less travelled.
Power and Performance
The 650W high-torque brushless motor fitted into the Segway ZT3 Pro, which reaches 1600W of peak power, does not only provide rapid acceleration but also propel you to breathtaking speeds of up to 40 KPH.
(Please note that the e-scooter is limited to 25 KPH out of the box, but when riding on private roads, you can unlock the speed to 40 KPH.)
Additionally, the amount of power in this e-scooter enables it to scale slopes with inclines as high as 25%.
If you need to ride at high speeds or tackle hills, you can rely on the Segway ZT3 Pro to deliver great performance in any setting.
Range and Battery
Under ideal riding conditions and using the e-scooter’s Eco Mode (15 KPH), the Segway ZT3 Pro is able to cover an impressive 70-KM range. This is thanks to the large 597Wh battery as well as Segway-Ninebot’s RideyLONG™ technology, which extends the standard range by 20%.
Apart from delivering good range, the ZT3 Pro’s battery boasts a brand new battery management system (BMS 2.0), which allows you to check how much time is left for a full charge, schedule charging sessions during low-cost hours, and monitor your battery lifecycle and health.
In addition, Segway-Ninebot’s self-developed “2x Flash Charge Technology” improves your charging efficiency and keeps charging time short. A full charging time only takes approximately 4 hours, but in a crunch, you can charge for 30 minutes and ride up to 10 KMS at 15 KPH.
Ride Quality
Segway’s electric scooters shine when it comes to ride quality, and the ZT3 Pro is a perfect example with its excellent handling and performance.
For starters, with its dual front telescopic suspension and rear spring suspension, you can expect incredibly smooth rides on any terrain. Not only that, but the suspension system is also updated to have protective bellows, which minimise the impact of mud and sand caused by rough roads and harsh weather conditions.
Technology-wise, the Segway ZT3 Pro features SEGRIDE, Segway’s stability enhancement system that enables precise turning, stability at high speeds, and reduced handlebar shake. This works together with the e-scooter’s intelligent traction control system (TCS) that is designed to maintain rear wheel stability and increase traction on difficult or slippery surfaces.
Meanwhile, an impressive 6-inch clearance and 11-inch off-road tubeless tyres with 10% better grip complete the experience.
Design and Build
As expected of any Segway e-ride, the ZT3 Pro looks and feels premium. And it is—this 29.7-KG electric scooter’s frame is built from high-strength steel that allows it to support 120 KG of rider weight. It can also accommodate additional accessories like a front-loading rack, a rearview mirror, a bottle-holder adapter, and more.
Don’t just take our word for it, though. To prove the Segway ZT3 Pro’s quality, it has undergone 5000 kilometres of Human Piloted Road Test and 180+ quality tests to ensure it meets the highest standards for durability, safety, and performance.
Safety Features
Probably one of the most unique defining features of the Segway ZT3 Pro is its X-shaped running light, which does not only add a distinctive—even futuristic—look but also enhances your visibility at night.
It’s also equipped with a powerful 4W light that is visible for up to 128 feet, and turning indicators, which allow you to communicate clearly with other road users.
Aside from lighting, the ZT3 Pro also features front and rear dual disc brakes that give you precise control and stability. Plus, the e-scooter’s body has been rated IPX5 for water resistance. This means it is protected from low-pressure water streams.
That said, please remember that no e-scooter or e-ride, no matter the IP rating, should be immersed in liquid, as it will inevitably result in water damage.
Integrated Technology
The ZT3 Pro clearly ticks all the boxes—power, speed, range, ride quality, and safety features—but what truly sets it apart for us is the advanced technology. The innovations integrated in this e-scooter transforms your ride and just makes everything better and even more efficient.
For starters, the Segway ZT3 Pro has Autonomous Locking and Unlocking, which lets you automatically lock and unlock the e-scooter as you approach or leave it through AirLock that recognises your distance.
For Apple users, the e-scooter also comes with Apple Find My, which you can activate through the Segway-Ninebot app. This way, you can easily locate and track your e-scooter whenever you need to.
Speaking of the app, the Segway-Ninebot app is essential in activating your e-scooter and accessing more features like activating riding modes, updating your firmware, obtaining your riding states, and so much more.
Who the Segway ZT3 Pro is For
This newest offering from Segway is designed for experienced riders who demand more out of their e-scooter. Because the Segway ZT3 Pro is capable of handling both city streets and off-road trails, it’s ideal for commuters who want speed and power and adventurers looking for all-terrain capabilities.
Ultimately, it is the perfect choice for anyone who values well-rounded performance and cutting-edge technology in their everyday ride.
On the other hand, with its speed limited to 25 KPH out of the box, the ZT3 Pro might not overwhelm new riders. Take note, however, that the powerful motor will cause the e-scooter to accelerate quickly, so beginners should practise in a safe place away from other people.
As new riders grow more confident, they have the option to unlock the e-scooter to full speed for an even more thrilling experience.
