Segway - GT3

When Segway actually prices their scooters to comparables in the market, then maybe they can be included. Right now, every one of their offerings is priced at a tier higher than it should be when they aren't on sale. Certain 52v models are priced as though they are running on a 60v and sometimes even 72v system. It makes no sense. The battery capacity is anemic compared to the competition. And people still slurp Segways' ass like they are the end all be all of scooters. I truly don't understand it. Just look at what the GT2 sells for at full retail and tell me with a straight face that I should consider it "good" for the price. Now you have the GT3, and it's the same BS. Base model GT3 is a 48v system and 50kph max speed for $2500 CAD ($1825 USD). What a joke. And they underspecced it on purpose to push you to the GT3 pro, which is (Finally) a 72v system, but still only 80kph max speed, for $4500 CAD (3280 USD). Why on earth would I buy that when I can get an InMotion RS, NAMI Burn E3 Max, Kaabo Wolf, Yume Predator for the same price or less? Nevermind the plethora of off brand 72v scooters that blow it out of the water for almost half the price.

I use my Segway gt3 for work. Car has only been used on weekends when going out

This is not true, this is a newer model and even the gt2 did not have widespread catastrophic issues. Segway outsells random brands 10 fold, by this logic do not buy Iphones because when I google Iphone problems more show up then Infinix brand phones.

Gt3 is a higher quality scooter but the Raptor has a larger battery for more range. Range anxiety is a real thing so if you care about range get the Raptor.

The Segway has more features and a nicer look, it just depends on what you value more. For me I may lean Raptor for the range even though its more of a "parts bin" scooter.

I am a big guy and I got the Segway GT3 and would recommend it. You are going to have to increase your budget though.

I live in Philly and work in various parts of the city. If the place has elevator I'll use the Segway gt3 because it's heavy if other place don't have an elevator I'll use the cunfon rz800. It folds and it's not too heavy.

I have the Segway gt3 and I use that for commuting to work

Ah, excuse me, I have the Segway. The orange one also looks like a solid choice. If those are the 2 you're choosing between, I don't think there's going to be a wrong choice tbh. Just make sure you've got the right protection; an unprotected crash at car speeds can really ruin your year

I have an emtb and had a decent Segway scooter (dual suspension on both. both at the same time). The scooter is less effort to ride at 20kph. I only sold it as it wasn’t legal at the time. For commuting about, 100% a scooter is comfier and less sweaty.
