Australian price and specification comparison using dated catalogue observations, labelled range estimates and state-specific device checks. Confirm current seller prices, stock and delivery.
Choose the Inmotion S1 for maximum range-per-dollar and its 140 kg rider limit. Choose the Segway MAX G3 for newer electronics, 11 inch self-sealing tyres, disc brakes at both ends and the stronger Australian parts channel.
Inmotion's long-range commuter with a large battery and high rider capacity. Public riding requires checking the exact unit against state device and rider rules.
Segway's Gen-3 commuter flagship with hydraulic suspension front and rear and strong claimed range, published by Segway Australia with a 25 km/h maximum speed.
Speed uses the Australian supplied configuration where verified; overseas modes are not implied. Manufacturer range claims are shown separately from ScootFinder planning estimates. A TBC value is left blank by the source rather than inferred.

Inmotion S1: 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.
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.
ScootFinder estimates about 65 km for the Inmotion S1 and 56 km for the MAX G3. These are planning estimates, not results from a controlled ScootFinder road test.
The S1 has more published headroom with a 140 kg rider limit. Include clothing and carried bags when checking payload.
The MAX G3 has the stronger specification on paper with front and rear disc brakes, compared with the S1's front drum and rear electric brake.
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.
