Segway has unveiled the ZT3 Max, a new all-terrain electric scooter, at an event in Paris on October 7. Designed for users seeking greater power and versatility, the ZT3 Max is positioned above the existing ZT3 Pro E model. It features a more powerful motor and a larger front wheel, making it better suited for challenging terrains and varied weather conditions. Segway has introduced a new testing standard called "Range at Max. Speed," which measures the scooter’s range at its maximum speed until it can no longer maintain at least 60% of that speed. For a model limited to 25 km/h, this means testing continues until the scooter can only reach 15 km/h. The company claims that no artificial speed limits are used to inflate the results and that the tests are conducted under standard conditions: a 75 kg rider, 25 °C temperature, and asphalt. However, real-world performance may vary depending on factors like rider weight, terrain, and weather.
The ZT3 Max is equipped with a 2,200 watt motor, which is 38% more powerful than the motor in the ZT3 Pro. This increased power allows the scooter to climb slopes up to 30%, compared to 25% for the ZT3 Pro. In terms of braking and suspension, the ZT3 Max features two 140 mm discs connected to an intelligent combined braking system (ICBS), whereas the ZT3 Pro has separate front and rear discs. The ZT3 Max also includes a double hydraulic suspension with two levels of adjustability and a double telescopic fork, offering improved comfort and control. The front tire has been upgraded to 12 inches, while the rear remains at 11 inches. However, Segway has not disclosed the battery capacity or the exact weight of the ZT3 Max. The ZT3 Pro, for comparison, weighs nearly 30 kg and has a 597 Wh battery.
The ZT3 Max will be available starting in November 2026 in France and Germany, priced at 999 euros. It will be sold through Segway’s online store and authorized retailers, with other European countries expected to follow later. The ZT3 Max was announced alongside the Max G3 Pro in September, which won a gold medal at the IFA 2026 trade fair in Berlin. In addition to launching the new scooter, Segway is expanding its network of authorized service centers across Europe and introducing a self-repair program. This initiative provides users with original parts, tool kits, and instructional videos in multiple languages, aiming to help them diagnose and fix common issues in less than 30 minutes. The company has emphasized transparency in its operations since 2024, focusing on providing accurate performance metrics and improving customer support.
