Segway has launched the latest in its GT-Series into the New Zealand market.

The perfect combination of high speed, quality performance, and long-distance range makes the Segway GT-Series a thrill seeker’s dream.

Different performance modes offer the rider the option to choose their own riding experience, switching between Eco, Drive, Sport or Race mode to best suit the terrain.

In the GT2’s Race Mode, its lightning-fast acceleration from 0 to 48 kph in 3.9 seconds make this a real racing machine that offers the most exciting rides.

Paired with a modern and sophisticated look, the Segway GT1 and GT2 are high-performance kick-scooters that offer phenomenal off-road capability as well as a comfortable ride. Key features include hydraulic disc brakes, front and rear hydraulic suspensions, and Segway Dynamic Traction Control (SDTC). The all-new SDTC system allows torque adjustment between the two motors to increase traction on slippery roads for better performance and safety.

While both models offer different capabilities, they key difference to note is the ultra-powerful dual 1500W motors with a peak power output of 6000W that the GT2 model operates, allowing the GT2 to reach ultra-high speeds.

The GT2 also introduces the world’s first transparent PM OLED display, showing speed, motor power, battery life, range, drive mode and SDTC information.

Segway Pacific Sales Manager, Apple Dong, is excited to bring the GT-Series to the New Zealand market. “This is a real high-performance supercar packed into a KickScooter and we’re expecting this one to fly off our shelves, following the popularity of previous Segway models, and as more city- dwellers look to multi-modal transport options. With the GT1 and GT2 from PB Tech New Zealand, people can get the ultimate travel experience in a KickScooter, as well as the thrill of the top speeds in the market.”

The Segway GT-Series is now available exclusively at all PB Tech stores nationwide, with the pre-orders closing on 7th of November 2022.

Kick it and get yourself moving around the streets in Segway’s newest bad boy on the block, the Segway Ninebot F Series Kick Scooter.

We received the Segway Ninebot F20A which is a budgetly priced full adult size electric scooter that has pretty much all of the bells and whistles of the more pricier models with a super bright white LED headlight and rear red tail light.

A small dashboard gives you the info you need as you glide through the mean streets. Your current speed, charge status and bluetooth connectivity.

The F20A will get you a maximum distance of 20kms going at a max speed of 25kms.

To set up the Segway Ninebot F20A Kick Scooter you’ll first need to pair it with your smartphone after a wee bit of putting together.

The free Segway app (for iOS and Android) will detail your past adventures, how many KMs you’ve traveled and to a point you can work out whether the Segway Ninebot F20A Kick Scooter will last the distance on remaining battery before you leave.

It’s via the app that you can also lock the Scooter. Handy if you’re riding down to the convenience store. Leave it outside for a couple of minutes locked and no one else can take it for a joyride.

Charging time for the non-removable battery is long. Three and a half hours if totally flat. For me using the F20A the battery seemed to drain real quick, the maximum distance I was able to travel on a single full charge though was 22kms on Sport Mode. 2kms over it’s maximum.

You can eek out more lifespan of the battery on Eco mode. There is in fact three speed / power settings, Eco Mode which extends your distance to a further 15km/h while running at a lower speed. Flick this setting on if you’re caught short.

Normal Mode is a balance between speed and battery life. Suitable for daily travel and finally Sport Mode is full tit and will drain the battery quicker.

There is also a built in safety feature.

The Segway Ninebot F20A Kick Scooter will only run via the toggle switch accelerator on the right side of the handle bar if the scooter can sense your weight is standing two feet on it and your balanced.

So you don’t have to fear accidentally bumping the power on while you’re trying to jump on it and having it take off from underneath you.

If you’ve ridden non-electric scooter before and used to manually kick starting to get moving, the Segway Ninebot F20A Kick Scooter is most definitely for you.

You can start your ride from both feet on the scooter, balanced and good to go, or you can kick off manually and within the motion of your manual power, hit the accelerator and boom you’re an electric street racer.

With full sturdy 10 inch puncture resistant rubber tires (included in the box is a spare tire) and a soft dual braking system the Segway Ninebot F20A Kick Scooter tends to be super reliably built with an aluminum frame.

Easily folded up, there’s a secure latch that you unclip and fold the handlebar frame down. Most likely though you’ll probably wheel the scooter about as opposed to carrying it as it does weigh just slightly under 15kgs.

Fold if you’re going to put it in the back of your car.

The Segway Ninebot F20A Kick Scooter is a lot of fun and a mean machine to ride. If you get yourself one of these or any of the new F Series from Segway, remember to ride safely, wear a helmet and be respectful of other cars and pedestrians.

The Segway Ninebot F20A Kick Scooter is cheaper but still has some kick to it.
