Segway Expands Global Omni-Channel Network With New Models and Real Range Standard

07.10.2026

New all-terrain and long-range e-scooters — ZT3 MAX and MAX G3 Pro — debut as Segway scales up worldwide sales and service alongside the "Range at Max. Speed" testing protocol.

COLOGNE, Germany and PARIS, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Segway, the global leader in innovative personal transportation and service robotics, today announced at simultaneous launch events in Cologne and Paris an expansion of its global omni-channel sales and service network alongside two new models, the ZT3 MAX and MAX G3 Pro.

Segway expands its premium lineup with the ZT3 MAX and MAX G3 Pro

A further launch event in Barcelona later this month extends the European launch. Built on Segway's proven ZT and MAX G series, the new models enrich Segway's premium lineup.

Built for the Way People Actually Ride

Segway's new premium models address the two most common e-scooter complaints: range figures that don't match real-world use, and handling confidence that falls short for daily riding. The two new models target two key use cases:

ZT3 MAX: All-Terrain Confidence

Built for demanding urban roads and mixed terrain, the ZT3 MAX combines all-terrain capability with Segway's new ICBS (Intelligent Combined Braking System) for smoother, more confident stopping on uneven surfaces.

MAX G3 Pro: Long-Range Daily Commuting

Built for longer daily journeys, the MAX G3 Pro pairs a high-capacity battery with built-in fast charging, delivering comfortable, stable long-distance rides.

Real Range: What You See Is What You Ride

For e-scooter buyers, advertised range is often the first indicator of whether a product can meet daily travel needs without frequent charging.

Segway's Real Range standard builds on TÜV's "Range at Max. Speed" testing protocol. Instead of idealized conditions, it tests every mode at full speed until the scooter slows to 60% of the maximum. Segway will apply this standard across its new premium lineup and future generations and call for industry-wide adoption of standardized, real-world range labeling.

Powered by Segway's proprietary SegRange™ efficiency technology, real-world range is 60–72 km (ZT3 MAX) and 80–100 km (MAX G3 Pro), varying by local speed regulations across markets.

Global Omni-Channel Sales and Service Network

Segway is expanding its global omni-channel network to make e-scooters easier to buy, repair and own. Three complementary channels — national retail partners, specialist dealers offering test rides and local repairs, and official online channels — provide consistent, reliable support however riders choose to purchase.

In Europe, Segway plans to build a network of 1,000 specialist dealer partners over the next five years — including Segway Service Dealers — while rolling out a self-repair program across Europe and Asia-Pacific, building on its US model, where 65% of common repairs are completed by users at home.

"As e-scooters evolve into daily transport, riders around the world deserve products that work as promised, and service that supports them long after purchase," said Johnny Zhang, Vice President of Segway Micromobility Business Group. "These new models are made for real daily riding, with range numbers measured on real roads, and support that doesn't leave you stranded."

Availability

Europe: ZT3 MAX and MAX G3 Pro will be available from November — in Germany (20 km/h D-version, eKFV-compliant) and in France and Spain (25 km/h E-version models). Region-specific pricing will be announced closer to sales start.

United States: MAX G3 Plus is available for purchase with an MSRP of $1,499.99 at store.segway.com as well as trusted retailers including Amazon and Best Buy.

Asia Pacific: The ZT3, another version of the all-terrain ZT flagship series, will roll out progressively across multiple countries within 2026. Product availability and pricing will be communicated locally at launch.

Mutmassliche Brandstiftung in Baar: Sachschaden von mehreren hunderttausend Franken

08.10.2026

Nach dem nächtlichen Grossbrand an der Ruessenstrasse in Baar im Kanton Zug gehen die Strafuntersuchungsbehörden von vorsätzlicher Brandlegung aus. Mehrere Fahrzeuge waren am späten Abend des 28. September in Flammen aufgegangen und vollständig ausgebrannt. Die Ermittler stufen Brandstiftung als wahrscheinlichste Ursache ein, wie sie am Donnerstag über die Plattform X mitteilten.

Als die Feuerwehr kurz nach 22 Uhr am Einsatzort eintraf, standen bereits mehrere Autos in Vollbrand. Die Flammen hatten zu diesem Zeitpunkt schon auf ein angrenzendes Geschäftsgebäude übergegriffen. Durch einen raschen und koordinierten Löscheinsatz gelang es den Einsatzkräften, das Feuer unter Kontrolle zu bringen und eine weitere Ausbreitung zu verhindern. Trotzdem entstand ein Sachschaden in der Höhe von mehreren hunderttausend Franken.

Bei den Löscharbeiten wurde ein Feuerwehrmann aus Baar leicht verletzt. Er hatte gemeinsam mit seinen Kollegen versucht, sowohl die brennenden Fahrzeuge als auch das betroffene Geschäftsgebäude zu sichern. Die Feuerwehr konnte Schlimmeres verhindern, doch mehrere Fahrzeuge wurden zerstört und Teile des Gebäudes erheblich beschädigt.

Die Kantonspolizei Zug hat in der Zwischenzeit Ermittlungen zur Täterschaft aufgenommen und wendet sich mit einem Zeugenaufruf an die Öffentlichkeit. Personen, die vor, während oder nach dem Brand im Gebiet rund um die Ruessenstrasse verdächtige Beobachtungen gemacht haben, werden gebeten, sich bei der Polizei zu melden. Hinweise nimmt die Zuger Polizei unter der Telefonnummer 041 595 41 41 entgegen.
