The best long range electric scooters in Australia
The useful range question is whether your return trip fits with some battery left, not which brochure prints the largest number. The S1, MAX G3 and ZT3 Pro below have dated Australian seller checks. They trade carrying weight, tyres and suspension against the catalogue range estimate; none has a ScootFinder physical range result.

Key points
- The planning column below leaves 20 percent of the catalogue estimate unused. It is an illustrative buffer, not a measured guarantee or a battery-health assessment.
- Hills, load, cold weather, wind and tyre pressure can reduce range. Build the round trip first, then compare charging access and a fallback route.
- Check charger time, replacement battery availability and a written local warranty. A large battery without a current Australian support path can be an expensive dead end.

Range estimates are ScootFinder estimates unless a tested result is explicitly labelled. Claimed range is the manufacturer's published best-case figure.
| Model | Dated price, AUD | Range, Estimated | Range, Claimed | Weight | Payload | Top speed | Legal class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inmotion S1 | $1,099 | 65 km | 95 km | 24 kg | 140 kg | 30 km/h | 25 km/h capable |
| Segway MAX G3 | $1,699 | 56 km | 80 km | 24.3 kg | 130 kg | 25 km/h | 25 km/h capable |
| Segway ZT3 Pro | $1,699 | 49 km | 70 km | 29.7 kg | 120 kg | 25 km/h | 25 km/h capable |
| EMOVE Cruiser | Price TBC | 70 km | 100 km | 23 kg | 130 kg | 50 km/h | 25 km/h capable |
Why each model made the list
Inmotion S1
- Why shortlist it
- A big 675 Wh battery giving strong claimed range plus a high 140 kg max rider weight, ships default-limited to 25 km/h.
- Trade-off
- Basic front drum brake, and unlocked top speed of 30 km/h is modest compared with faster private-land scooters.
Segway MAX G3
- Why shortlist it
- Genuine front and rear hydraulic suspension, an 850W motor and an 80 km claimed range in Segway's current commuter flagship.
- Trade-off
- Heavier than the lighter F-series models; check state-specific device requirements as well as riding speed limits.
Segway ZT3 Pro
- Why shortlist it
- All-terrain 11 inch tubeless tyres, front telescopic suspension and rear spring suspension; these are hardware features, not proof of public-use eligibility.
- Trade-off
- Heavier than the standard commuters at 29.7 kg, with all-terrain hardware that can be excessive for smooth short trips.
EMOVE Cruiser
- Why shortlist it
- A huge 1,560 Wh battery giving up to 100 km real world range, IPX6 water resistance and hybrid hydraulic brakes.
- Trade-off
- At 50 km/h unrestricted the Cruiser exceeds the legal class; only the factory-limited setting is appropriate for public roads.

Inmotion S1: who should compare it?
Commuters wanting genuinely long range from a single motor scooter, with a high 140 kg rider capacity and suspension front and rear.
The compromise: Basic front drum brake, and unlocked top speed of 30 km/h is modest compared with faster private-land scooters.

Segway MAX G3: who should compare it?
Commuters wanting Segway's latest flagship with real hydraulic suspension front and rear and strong claimed range.
The compromise: Heavier than the lighter F-series models; check state-specific device requirements as well as riding speed limits.

Segway ZT3 Pro: who should compare it?
Riders who value 11 inch all-terrain tubeless tyres and suspension for rougher surfaces and can live with a 29.7 kg lift. The 25 km/h Australian specification still needs state-specific device and route checks.
The compromise: Heavier than the standard commuters at 29.7 kg, with all-terrain hardware that can be excessive for smooth short trips.

Why the EMOVE Cruiser is a reference, not a current pick
We could not reverify an exact current Australian offer for the catalogue Cruiser generation. Overseas Cruiser S and V2 listings are not substitutes. Keep the Cruiser reference page for context, but confirm the exact generation, seller and warranty before planning a purchase.
