Buying decision

The differences that matter

  1. The Apollo has dual motors; the Segway uses one 850 W rated motor with 2,000 W peak output.
  2. ScootFinder estimates 56 km for the MAX G3 and 40 km for the Apollo Go.
  3. The catalogue lists the Go at 22 kg and retains the MAX G3 AU store reference of 24.3 kg. The Segway AU manufacturer table instead lists 24.6 kg; verify the exact unit if carrying is decisive.
  4. Segway uses 11 inch tyres and disc brakes at both ends; Apollo uses 9 inch self-healing tyres and a rear drum plus regenerative brake.
  5. The Segway supports 130 kg versus Apollo's 120 kg rider limit.
Australian rules

Legality is state dependent

Apollo Go 2024: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.

Segway MAX G3: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.

Speed capability is only one part of the rule. Rider age, licence requirements, where you ride and local speed limits also matter. Check the current state-by-state guide before riding.

Quick answers

Apollo Go 2024 vs Segway MAX G3 FAQs

MAX G3 weight needs an exact-unit check: the Australian store's specification graphic lists 24.3 kg, while Segway's Australian manufacturer table lists 24.6 kg for model 051601A. The catalogue retains the store's 24.3 kg reference; ScootFinder has not weighed it. Confirm the delivered unit before planning regular stair carrying. Read the source checks.

Which has more real-world range?

ScootFinder's planning estimate is 56 km for the Segway and 40 km for the Apollo. These are not results from a head-to-head road test.

Which is better for hills?

The Apollo's dual-motor traction is attractive for hills, while the Segway publishes greater peak output. Route severity and rider load still matter.

Which has better brakes?

The Segway has the stronger conventional braking specification with front and rear mechanical discs.
