Segway E2
- Why shortlist it
- Cheapest current Segway with hydraulic suspension front and rear at a sub-$700 price.
- Trade-off

Research notes
Why each model made the list
Segway E2 Pro
- Why shortlist it
- Tubeless pneumatic tyres and a full 25 km/h top speed at a sub-$900 price.
- Trade-off
- Small 275 Wh battery limits real world range, and there is no suspension.
Segway E3
- Why shortlist it
- Front and rear elastomer suspension and 10 inch tubeless tyres at an entry price, with a 120 kg rider limit that beats the E3 Pro.
- Trade-off
- The 276 Wh battery is small, so expect roughly 30 km of real world range rather than the 45 km claim.
Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Lite
- Why shortlist it
- Front suspension and a 24 month AU warranty at Xiaomi's lowest current AU price point.
- Trade-off
- Small 216 Wh battery limits the estimated range; IPX4 splash resistance does not make it waterproof.
Buying advice
What to check before you buy
This comparison uses manufacturer and Australian retailer specifications stored in ScootFinder. It does not claim long-term ownership or physical testing experience.
- Compare equivalent prices rather than brand flagships against entry models.
- Check estimated real range, total weight and suspension for the actual commute.
- Confirm local warranty and servicing terms for the retailer you choose.
- Use the preloaded compare links to inspect two exact models side by side.
Australian rules
Open the national law guideLegality depends on your state
A 25 km/h-capable label is a speed feature, not public-use approval. Device weight, dimensions, wheelbase, maximum power and Australian configuration can change the result. It does not override where, how fast or by whom it may be ridden. Check the current official rule for your jurisdiction before buying or riding.
