MAX G3
The MAX G3 is Segway's current long-range commuter flagship. It combines an 80 km laboratory range claim, a 597 Wh battery, 11 inch self-sealing tyres and suspension at both ends in a 24.3 kg package.
Is the Segway MAX G3 worth considering?
The strongest fit is a rider who values ride comfort, dealer support and a large range buffer more than easy carrying. It is well equipped for regular commuting, but the 24.3 kg weight matters if stairs or public transport are part of the trip.

Segway's 80 km claim is measured under controlled, low-speed conditions. ScootFinder uses 56 km as a planning estimate for mixed real-world riding; hills, rider weight, temperature and repeated acceleration can reduce it further.
Should you buy it?
Best suited to
Commuters wanting Segway's latest flagship with real hydraulic suspension front and rear and strong claimed range.
Standout strength
Genuine front and rear hydraulic suspension, an 850W motor and an 80 km claimed range in Segway's current commuter flagship.
Main compromise
Heavier than the lighter F-series models, and the unrestricted top speed sits above the legal class.
Pros
- Front and rear suspension plus 11 inch self-sealing tyres
- Large claimed range and a practical 130 kg rider limit
- Australian distributor support and a broad parts ecosystem
- Front and rear disc brakes
Cons
- Heavy to carry at 24.3 kg
- Manufacturer range testing is at a steady 15 km/h, so normal commuting range will be lower
- High-speed modes shown in overseas material do not replace Australian state and territory rules
Check before buying. Confirm the AU firmware ships app-limited to 25 km/h for legal use, and check current promo pricing with the retailer.
