Longer-range Segway electric scooter is $200 off at launch

For those keen to jump on the electric scooter trend, Segway-Ninebot has a decent launch discount on its new Segway Max G3 model.

Between 29 September and 15 October, it’s $200 off with a helmet and lock included. That brings the price down to $1,799, with the extra accessories adding a bit of value on top.

Advertised as lasting up to 80km on a single charge, the Segway Max G3 adds more range to the 70km of the previous-gen Max G2 model. Its increased 2,000W max power also boosts its ability to smoothly ride up slopes, rated to tackle 30% slopes (up from the Max G2’s 20%).

For peace of mind, the Segway Max G3 includes Apple’s Find My tracking built in, letting you locate the scooter if it gets stolen or you can’t remember where you parked. There are a lot of built-in smarts, with the integrated touchscreen providing navigation, stats on your ride, and phone notifications. Just make sure you don’t use your phone while riding: that’s widely considered illegal.

Keep in mind that the use of personal electric scooters differs on a state-by-state basis. Queenslanders have long been able to ride their scooters in public, while South Australia recently enabled riding on public roads. New South Wales, on the other hand, only allows personal electric scooters on private property.

Out now, the Segway Max G3 is available to order directly from the Segway-Ninebot website, JB Hi-Fi, and other retailers that stock commuting tech.
