Australian price and specification comparison using the live ScootFinder catalogue, with realistic range estimates and state-dependent legality.
Choose the Segway MAX G3 for more range, larger tyres, disc brakes at both ends and the established Australian parts channel. Choose the Apollo Go for dual-motor traction, lower weight, IP66 sealing and a lower current price, after confirming live stock.
Apollo's dual motor commuter, IP66 rated with self-healing tubeless tyres. Regulated to the 25 km/h legal class in Australia.
Segway's Gen-3 commuter flagship with hydraulic suspension front and rear and strong claimed range, app-limitable to the 25 km/h legal class.
Manufacturer range claims are shown separately from ScootFinder planning estimates. A TBC value is left blank by the source rather than inferred.

Apollo Go 2024: Fits the 25 km/h legal class, but rules still vary by state. Legal to ride within limits in 6 of 8 states and territories. Not permitted for private use in NSW or NT.
Segway MAX G3: Fits the 25 km/h legal class, but rules still vary by state. Legal to ride within limits in 6 of 8 states and territories. Not permitted for private use in NSW or NT.
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.
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.
The Apollo's dual-motor traction is attractive for hills, while the Segway publishes greater peak output. Route severity and rider load still matter.
The Segway has the stronger conventional braking specification with front and rear mechanical discs.
ScootFinder has not physically road-tested these two units for this comparison. Published specifications come from the sources below. Real-world range figures are clearly labelled ScootFinder estimates and prices or availability should be confirmed before purchase.
