- Stability & Control
- Safety and stability were paramount in designing the ZT3 Pro. Segway’s new patented Segride technology is an innovative approach to scooter geometry and ergonomics that optimizes handling and ride dynamics, ensuring a comfortable and safe ride even at higher speeds. The Segride stability enhancement system, working together with the Traction Control System (TCS), offers enhanced control and grip, reducing handlebar shake and wheel slip to ensure a secure ride even on slippery surfaces. Power is reined in by front and rear disc brakes for reliable stopping in any weather.

- Exclusive Smart Tech
- The ZT3 Pro is as refined as it is rugged, combining all-terrain performance with sophisticated smart features like a wireless Bluetooth® AirLock System for autonomous proximity locking and unlocking when paired with the Segway-Ninebot app. BMS 2.0—an upgraded battery management system—offers 10 layers of charging protection, and the Flash Charge technology allows for 6.2 miles of range in just 30 minutes and a full charge in only four hours. Last but not least, integration with Apple’s Find My service makes for easy tracking, enabling riders to locate their Segway eKickScooter effortlessly.
- See & Be Seen
- A new 3-inch hexagonal LCD display provides real-time status updates including speed, charge, mode and more, while remaining clearly visible even in direct sunlight. And the ZT3 Pro’s full lighting system illuminates the rider’s way when the sun sets with a 4-watt headlight, front and rear turn indicators, brake light and last but not least, a signature “X” symbol daytime running light leading the way.
- Built to Last
- The ZT3 Pro has undergone extensive quality tests, including more than 3,100 miles of human piloted road tests, over 180 quality checks and a 1,540-pound static pressure limitation test, ensuring the integrity of its high-strength, carbon-steel, weather-resistant frame. Its exterior body cladding is crafted from advanced eco-friendly ASA thermoplastics for durability and weather resistance as well as easy replacement. The ZT3 Pro has an IPX5 waterproof body, IPX7 battery and is compatible with various accessories (to be sold separately) to meet the diverse needs of riders.
