[@freshlycharged]

We wanted to clarify on the climbing ability of the scooter. Thanks for Paul from Electric Scooter Guide for reaching out to us to say that the ZT3 Pro can climb 25% grade which is technically 14 degrees. The hill we tried climbing is 19 degrees which exceeds the claimed climbing ability of the Segway ZT3 Pro. A 19 degree slope is equal to a 33% grade.

[@kurpfalzwutzel]

That's it! The scooter is advertised with 25%/14° and may also climb up a 15° hill with a driver of your weight, but 19°/34% is far above its climbing specs and thus capabilities. The single motor scooter VMAX VX2 Extreme (BTW also tested by Paul) could be able to manage this slope slowly but not this one here. 😉

[@Styles1991]

Just get a kaabo scooter you will climb Mount Everest

[@berkosmansatiroglu]

Look shimano' s brake hydrolic.

[@renelr12]

Manufacturers always tend to advertise % slope rather than degrees as % shows the larger number which is better for marketing but can be a little misleading since a 100% slope is 45°

[@ThanksGoDinPariS]

Hello, can you tell me how many cells in the battery?

[@xFreyelis]

I'd go with the HILEY Tiger T8 Pro... It's $799, has dual motors, dual brakes, dual suspension, and low-maintenance solid tires with split-rim (easy to replace), and can go 31 mph, and it's lighter. It's basically the original of the rebranded Splach Twin (which has good reviews)

[@kaizz3n]

i have this lol and i agree. so fun already put almost 300miles on it in a month

[@phillipmorales8366]

Miniwalker’s Tiger 8 pro 899

[@gtone339]

ZT3 Pro needs an extra motor to increase hill climb power. Still keen for a succesor to the GT2!

[@ABoringTool]

Segway should put all of their engineers into a proper hyper scooter. It would mop the floor with Kabo and Dualtrob.

[@freshlycharged]

We would love to see that!

[@greenwave819]

yeah I wish they would do that. doesn't seem to their style.

[@gtone339]

A successor to the GT2 would do wonders!

[@amocars]

In france, electric scooters are speed limited to 25kmh (15mph) and the price tag on most websites is about $778 (permanently) so I think this is the perfect scooter for me.

[@carlosgutierrezgonzalez7855]

Creo que hay mejores opciones. Este pesa demasiado para llevar un solo motor. Un saludo

[@jstewart627]

That is a small battery. I do not see the point of it when they are selling that GT1 for $1,500

[@freshlycharged]

We would definitely spend more for the GT1 but it’s not as portable. The GT1 was originally $2500 but they are trying to transition into their new scooters. I hope to see a GT3 soon!

[@ThanksGoDinPariS]

@@freshlycharged Hello, can you tell me how many cells in the battery? Thanks U

[@dan5g931]

@freshlycharged you guys have tried many scooters. With the GT1 being 1500. What would you pick, the ZT3 or GT1 if you are looking for ride comfort, durability and build quality. I don't care much about the speed, and that means I would probably get enough range with any of the 2.

[@joewakim8933]

Mann i really hope Segway will make a 60+ mph scooter a real super scooter because i have the gt2 and i wish it goes 60 mph cuz its a “super scooter”

[@freshlycharged]

That would be incredible!

[@joewakim8933]

Fr!!

[@acwarf3946]

I have the GT2, soon the ZT3, GT2 is about 12 inches longer than my wkgt pros, smoother ride but, yes on a more powerful scoot.

[@t_gon_8298]

GUYS please get your hands on an Ausom Gallop and give us your opinion. Considering buying - but would love your opinions.

[@freshlycharged]

A lot of people have asked about that scooter so we will have to check it out.

[@t_gon_8298]

Do you have any Gingerly used duallies you would like to ship/sell to a Yuge fan? Maybe give me a nice deal and a chance to try something with some POWAA

[@xFreyelis]

There's a new Gallop SR1 though, which is better than the old Gallop

[@jbeez141]

@@xFreyelis How do you figure? Many people have a very different opinion on that.

[@chrisdudley8366]

Well. I think Ausom went backwards with new Gallop. 1000 watt motors. Smaller battery. And the new Gallop is smaller than the old Gallop. No quick release to change flat tires. No removable battery. I think it was a huge swing and miss from Ausom as a scooter company.

[@loop313]

The extension port in the back and the two at each side of the deck are for the seat.

[@freshlycharged]

Thanks for being smarter than us and letting us know!

[@Experiment-lr7sm]

Actually the ones on the deck is for the seat but the one in the back is for a kind of case/luggage.

[@djblack-jax3172]

It’s for the rear loading rack accessory

[@leeanderson5851]

I already can’t wait to see the ZT3 pro version Dual 650w 52v.

[@biggjamess]

I’m almost certain this isn’t the best for inner city commuting.. I’ll stick with my NIU AIR. Just wish it was faster than 20 max speed, and had shocks… all that while keeping the weight under 30lbs

[@mikehagquist5198]

@@biggjamess Apollo go is perfect for commuting. I have over 1 k miles on it so far. Has dual motors and suspension while being 46 pounds.

[@johnnyroese]

I like everything about this scooter except for the range. Less than 20 miles?? That’s a dealbreaker for me.

[@MaxHarden]

The GoTrax GX0 with it's dual-motors goes wherever you point it. It's got the swappable battery so I can take one scooter and two batteries out to the park, and it's arguably cooler looking with the swag lights on the side. I love my GT2 for the road and my girl loves her Max G2 for it's hydraulic suspension and smooth ride. My kids have Segway C2 Pro that go 12mph and matches acceleration of G2 in boost mode. But 1-motor is not enough for off-road. It's just not gonna get you over everything you come across.

[@johnstover4584]

It's cool it has a boost mode. Makes it feel faster.

[@thereindeertherabbitthebat592]

I feel like smaller break disks like this would be nice. I always scrape my larger disks on curbs and crap when I least expect it. And when off road, I get plenty of little rocks, sticks & vines caught up in them too. So if it's supposed to be an off road capable scooter then yeah... smaller disks makes sense to me. I love anything tubeless, like most of us do (being easy to quickly patch), so that's great. Would've liked to see it hit 30mph at least. Maybe a slightly larger battery, but I get it. A lotta great features at a banging price of a stack. Nice.

[@dan5g931]

How's the ride comfort compared to the GT1?

[@graffmixer]

This scooter is pretty nice. If this was as fast or faster than my Segway P100S (30 MPH), I would've look into buying this. Also I wish they had the built it power brick than a separate power brick for travel.

[@JESUS-IS-RAD]

I really hope you reply to my comment. I have a p100s.. I was wondering how long have you had your's? How many miles? Do you ride it rough at all? Jump off curbs or anything? This is really important because I have a follow up question. Thanks!

[@graffmixer]

@@JESUS-IS-RAD Hey…So I had my P100s ever since the release date after the Kickstarter (October 2022). I don’t have crazy miles with it because I use both my P100s and my E-Bike depending where I go. I wanna say under 2k. I don’t ride crazy with it. I use it simply for commuting around the city. It had its share of potholes, cracks and curbs but it’s still a beast of a scooter especially coming from the Ninebox Max. One issue I had with it was tire valve popping out when putting air on the tire but that all.

[@JESUS-IS-RAD]

@@graffmixer Thanks for the response bro. My p100s broke while riding, the front fork broke. But I jumped a lot of stuff with it and was rough with it. So I was just wondering if it was worth fixing it.. Stay safe bro✊😆

[@graffmixer]

@@JESUS-IS-RAD Yeah I've been reading about the front fork breaking all over the net. I'm thinking thats what people are doing to it especially thats not what its mean't for. But who knows. I've been riding this in the mean streets of NYC for a minute and had no issues with it but yeah I'm concerned.

[@xFreyelis]

Please test the new AUSOM Leopard DT1 Pro... With the features for a Dual 1000w motors, I think it's the best at $1100 (with coupon). Tom is the only channel that first reviewed it since it's new

[@DyesubDave]

There are a handful of innovative ideas with this scooter but for the price I'd definitely stick with my Kukirin G2 Master which was about the same. I would pick the innovation in the Mukuta 9 Plus over this scooter any day. Thanks for the review though.

[@Urzza4589]

How would you compare this to the GT1? Do you think the $500 extra dollars for the GT1 is not worth it? Worth it? Worth it some times?

[@bencoelho3]

I love that you put km/h for speed but could you put cm for measurement too please? I don't feel like getting my barley corns and eagle wings out to measure your weird American units. Only the USA uses imperial. With love, Ben ❤️

[@freshlycharged]

We always laugh when people claim the imperial system is supreme since they never used metric. It’s always easier to divide by 10, 100, 1000 instead of 3,12 and 5280. However, you gave us a great idea to start measuring things by eagle wings….freedom!!!!

[@Zorii_KoteQ]

At 2:00 mark what was that sound ? 🤔

[@jeduwardovega6239]

Awesome review guys always fun to watch! I love sagway products but why? Even bother to make a single motor 20 mil rage scooter in today's market when everyone eals is making bigger and better stuff 😅

[@jwangcap]

Interestinglu enough, the Kaabo Mantis X Plus is also 1299 right now, so it'd be great to see a comparison or review of that :)

[@JerseyStyle7]

Just what im looking for 👍🏽

[@sohogen8482]

[@JesusMolina-nb7ui]

It’s a saddle bag extension and there it a seat that could be add on

[@freshlycharged]

Thanks for sharing the info!

[@dresmart432]

Likewise bros! 😎 As watched, AWESOME design & price, but small battery, low braking power and torq. 💪👍

[@jbeez141]

Man I want to like this scooter, well I actually do. It says max payload of 265 but realistically how much range is that going to get give a bigger guy with under 600 WH? Maybe like 10-12 miles if you are lucky? Too bad but that little battery not a good selling point IMO.

[@КадзутоКиригая-л8э]

Greetings from Russia! Thanks for the review! You can specify the dimensions and weight of the box in which the scooter is supplied, I did not find this information in the video. If possible, provide the data in the metric system.

[@omar87st]

It's 25% not degrees... so it's like 14° that it can climb, I think you tested it @19° ^^

What was the size of the motor 6or8hundred watt and a peak of 1600watt did i hear that properly cos theres no way without bigger battery and controller and even then your gona burn that motor out ,but i gotta say the m4pro from kugoo 500watt motor with a 18 ah 48volt battery although mine goes to 55.5 on a full charge so it would go to 56 butt the bms kicks in its defo the best 500wTt motor out there im hearing theres a 22 àh but its 21700 cells and much smaller battery i can see why theyd up the power on the m4pro cos that motors special imho its like the m21 fiido pro its suppose to be 250 watt and its the same size as my 750 engwe takes off like a bat outta hell when youve it tuned proper has a torgue sensor on or in the crank bracket which will pull a wheelie but not with the fiido controller any half decent controller will up the everything so much on it my controller is a pricy one that u can tweek lots with altho a lil big q got 15 modes of pedal assit ehich is torgue in this case hence wheelie😅 but my next move is a 60volt controller then shocks and i think ive the complete road legal bike 😅😎 sorry i robbed your scooter review get that thing supped up or ditch the app and components and put your own stuff in there cos it should blast with even them specs but the battery could be your power prob segway have been making the highest of quality of batterys like lg cells 10s 6pack tjsts 60 lg cells at a wattage of 550 and that was 2 yrs ago bruv come on man ✌️☘️ Ireland sayin how it is my men

I have mixed feelings. It kinda looks nice and good quality, but I don't like the front fork, the small brakes and the 7 inch rims. There are a lot greater selection of tires for 6.5 or 6 inch rims. And the handlebar also sucks, looks impossible to fit any gadgets or extension to it.
