Which Segway Electric Scooter Should You Buy? Every Model Compared
Share
For New York City streets, the best Segway electric scooter for most riders is the Segway F3: designed for 20 mph, rated for up to 44 miles and 42.3 lb. On a tighter budget, the E3 Pro and E2 Pro are designed for 20 mph or less too. Want range or speed for riding outside the city? The Max G3, Max G3 Plus, ZT3 Pro and the GT3 SuperScooters are the step up, but none of them is a street-legal electric scooter in New York City. Here is every Segway and Ninebot electric scooter we sell, side by side.
