Just got a segway gt1 for 1899.00 goes 60km an hour. 50km range. Thing handles pretty nice.

You could go for a Segway GT3, not the pro model. It’s a decent price cheaper and hits 31 at least. Plus if you in LA, Segway LA is an official repair shop for Segway. You can check out some of the scooters directly as well and get a better check on it (I got my GT1 there, 7k miles on it now I think!)

Oh interesting! I remember being said the GT3 had it missing, I have a GT1 and the guardian mode set up whenever I need to park it somewhere for long periods of time. I might be thinking of different changes but I haven’t checked the main security differences in awhile

I tried the GT1 suspension one time.. It was absolute dog shit compared to [what I'm used to](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOBzBAo5V9Y&t).

The newest GT models do have this aswell. It uses the motorcycle horns it has for the alarm so it's even louder

The Segway website has every repair part you could possibly need. However, with the recent tariffs, it is made things difficult to source. But generally, anything you need is on there to fix. Every part. I replaced batteries, tires, brakes, all really easy. Plus the bonus of having a universal laboratories, American fire rating, gives me comfort when I sleep at night at my house is not gonna burn down

Upgrading to a $2500 budget allows you to move into the hyper-scooter category, which is essential for a reliable car replacement on busy LA roads. The segway GT series is your strongest option for a daily commute because its automotive-grade suspension offers the stability and build quality you’ll need at high speeds. Since you aren’t yet an experienced mechanic, I’d suggest avoiding the geofought or used market to ensure you don't get stuck with difficult repairs or unreliable battery systems.I can relate to your concerns about build quality because I ride a tarran t1 pro, which is essentially the smart car of e-bikes with landing gear and AI safety features. Once you’re used to that level of premium engineering and tank-like stability, you’ll find that only high-end scooters like the segway or nami Burn-E 2 provide a comparable sense of security.
