Global leader in micromobility transportation and robotic services, Segway Ninebot has introduced the new ZT series of electric scooters with the ZT3 Pro, which combines smart technology with all-terrain performance and signature Segway style.
Segway-Ninebot head of Australia, Gino Casha said, “The ZT3 Pro represents a significant step forward in our commitment to innovation and user experience. We believe this scooter will not only meet the demands of urban commuters but also cater to adventure enthusiasts looking for an eKickScooter that excels in all-terrains.”
The ZT3 Pro features a new design concept built around a robust full-suspension frame with a telescopic front fork and rear swingarm coil-suspension that smooth out rough terrain. This is further bolstered by 152mm of ground clearance and 11-inch all-terrain tubeless tyres.
Powered by a 1,600-watt high-torque brushless motor, the ZT3 Pro is capable of speeds up to 25km per hour and a climbing slope of 25%. Thanks to Segway’s RideyLong range optimisation technology, it can travel up to 70km on a single charge in Eco Mode and 50km in sport mode.
With safety and stability as key considerations in the design of the ZT3 Pro, Segway’s new patented Segride technology offers an innovative approach to scooter geometry and ergonomics, ensuring a comfortable and safe ride even at higher speeds.
The Segride Stability Enhancement System, together with the Traction Control System (TCS), offer enhanced control and grip, reducing handlebar shake and wheel slip. The three-inch hexagonal LCD display provides real-time status updates including speed, charge, mode and more. The full lighting system illuminates the rider’s way with a four-watt front light, front and rear indicators and a signature X symbol daytime running light.
Beyond offering all-terrain performance alongside advanced smart features, like an AirLock System for autonomous locking and unlocking when paired with the Segway-Ninebot app – a first in the eKickScooter industry – the BMS 2.0 upgraded battery management system offers three new layers of protection, while Flash Charge technology allows for a full charge in only four hours.
One of the key features of the BMS 2.0 is that customers receive notifications if the battery overheats, automatically shutting down the scooter to ensure rider safety. In addition, integration with Apple’s Find My simplifies tracking. In the event of theft, this feature allows users to pinpoint the scooter’s location and report it to authorities.
The ZT3 Pro has undergone extensive quality tests, including 5,000km of human piloted road tests, over 180 quality checks and a 700kg static pressure limitation test. It has an IPX5 waterproof body and is compatible with various accessories (sold separately).
The Segway ZT3 Pro eKickScooter is now available at an introductory pre-order price of $1,699 until 15 October 2024 (RRP $1,999). It can be purchased at Bing Lee, Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi, as well as scooter specialists, Segway-Ninebot stores in Parramatta (NSW), Robina (QLD) and Townsville (QLD) and the Segway-Ninebot online store.
