  • right to jail

    • Why?

      • Probably due to draconian NSW laws or some such..

        • I got side swiped by one of these in Parramatta. Would not recommend.

          • @Ryanek: thats why they invented car doors, especially back doors

          • @Ryanek: I don't get it? You got side swiped so I shouldn't buy one?

            • @Ez: I dont reccomend getting side swuped.

        • This is correct. Are they the only state left now?

      • Even the speed limited scooters can get you jail time.

        • :(

  • if only this is legal in NSW

    • I love being in Qld….. southern states are such nannies

      • I love being in Qld….. southern states are such nannies

        Just don't say "from the river to the sea", or you go to jail for 2 years.

        • And for good reason…. Talk of genocide against Jews is disgusting.

          • @Homerlovesbeer: Are you ok with actual proven document genocide?

            • @Ez: You know, you can be both against the Israeli government's wildly murderous actions, and also against people not-so-subtly calling for the extermination of Jews. People are acting so disingenuously about what that phrase naturally entails, when they know full well they'd (rightfully) condemn it being said in favour of the destruction of Palestine.

              • @ProfessorBargain: Why condemn a phrase in favour of the destruction of Palestine when you can just do it in front of the entire world whilst simultaneously making "river to the sea" controversial.

                • @Ez: It's inherently "controversial" because of its implications, no matter in which direction its applied. Just because what it's calling for when applied against Israel isn't currently feasible, there's no reason to defend the continued use of rhetoric such as that.

          • @Homerlovesbeer: But ACTUAL GENOCIDE you have no issues with yeah???

      • Me too but Australia in general is being nannied

        Mainly because some individuals ruined it for rest of us

      • Legal in Vic donk

  • I’ve owned this scooter for 15 months, and it’s honestly the best scooter I’ve ever owned or used.

    Genuine replacement parts easy to get (AliExpress), and self-install (clear manufacturer videos), Good service network; Well built, and the unit takes a beating and keeps on ticking.

    And also legal in Australia (as long as you don’t apply a 3rd country location software override with a VPN).

    And $1399 is an insane price, and the OP is right that it’s never been that low in Australia; and you can price match it under 99 Bikes’ Price Match Guarantee ($5 to join if not a member), that will get you another $70 off the Costco price.

      • Go read their link which explain their conditions, and give them a call if not sure.

        I know and use their policy enough to know it should be matched.

            • @HaydosK: You asked a question of an AI, expecting it was going to give you a useful and accurate answer.

              The fact you have to ask why you’re downvoted for that speaks volumes.

              • @thewinchester: They deleted all.the comments what they write?

                • @Poor Ass: I wrote that their terms and conditions weren't clear and I just asked if they had confirmed that they do match Costco. They don't. You have to sign up to Costco to get this deal. They wasted my time and money so thanks a lot to them. Also I tried to ask the terrible 99 bikes chat bot which is just a stupid ai chatbot that knowns nothing and they thought that I was trying to use it to find an answer when I was just trying to talk to a real person which it can't do like other sites.

    • Missed some things about the scooter, which I can’t add to the original reply now.

      First, I’ve done almost 5,000 on mine.

      It does have some flaws to be aware of, specifically:

      • short air stems on the tyres meaning you’ll need a decent small air pump to refill the tyres (no petrol station pumps if you’re on the move) - but luckily have never needed to check for air on the go.
      • early units had issues with staying connected on Bluetooth (needed to unplug a cable in the stem and reconnect).
      • the big one to be aware of are the screws in the stem. These are only M3 screws, and they use a crap locking tape on them combined with what seems to be poorer strength metal. With heavy use, especially on bumpy paths and such, these screws will loosen over time. Strongly recommend you a) get a much better thread locker for the screws (Loctite 243 from Bunnings and other stores), and b) ensure the screws are checked and tightened at least every couple of weeks (presuming 100km/wk usage).

      If you fail to check these screws, you’ll start to feel the up and down wobble in your handlebars, and you don’t want those screws to fail when you’re going at 25kph.

      • Good call - I have a Segway F2 Plus and also ended up needing to loctite the stem screws. Was fine after that though.

    • And also legal in Australia (as long as you don’t apply a 3rd country location software override with a VPN).

      You mean the software installed on the device affects the legality of it in Australia?

      • Not the software, just the location the software of the scooter believes it in.

        It’s how most manufacturers can reduce their costs by not having to build multiple variants to cater for different countries and their speed restriction laws.

    • I did price beat on the web. 30 mins later I received the mail to purchase for $1329.99. Now trying to get the wife to agree…😬😂

    • is it only single.motor?

    • why do people apply a 3rd country location software override with vpn?

      • So that it will go faster than 25kph. The software governs the speed to whatever is the allowed maximum in that state/country.

    • They don't price match Costco.

    • How long does it take to charge up? I’m looking at the g3 and for couple hundred more looks better option (more power, lighter). But if this scooter chargers faster I may be swayed

  • 500Nm - is that real or just marketing baloney?

    I've been looking at e-bikes where 110Nm is a lot.

    It's supposed to be able to climb a 25% incline.

    • Don’t know enough about motor torque to answer that question as an owner (and that info isn’t on the spec sheet), but it has no problems climbing steep hills.

      Have happily taken it up Mount Street in Perth, and whilst it won’t hit max speed obviously I could get up it without stopping.

      And Mount Street is a steep hill that even regular cyclists on road bikes struggle with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u_jd09cz8E

      • I pushed my 1000cc duke up that hill once. Yeh , it’s steep.

    • That's insane if it is real. It would fly up the hill. My e-bike has 60nm of torque and it's plenty to get up hills with light pedalling. I'm using it more than my car for short local trips now.

    • Its so you can go from 0 to 25km/h in just 2.2 seconds. Comes in useful at pedestrian crossings.

  • What's the Max weight someone can be?

  • Don't really see many escooters on the sunny coast any more. Every kid has those fat tyre ebikes now, and yes still riding all over the road and dinking mates 😳

    • Yeah those things have spread like wildfire. Was down at Point Cartwright the other weekend and every second teenager was riding around on one.

      • What happened to a good old school bicycle - at least teenagers or kids can get exercise having to ride this 😅

        • They not cool anymore and the ones that do still have some good family values vs those that use illegally ebikes

  • Do people hack these to get HACKJOB ? They way the test them it would be easy to find out your going too fast anyway. Be cool if there was a secret switch in case you got pulled over but i guess it doesn't prevent speed cameras tho suppose.

    • With virtually all the scooters from Segway since the release of the ZT3, any ‘hacks’ can be done in software and are easily reversible with no effort.

      Some of the firmware methods (and I won’t say which), can even be flicked back in the moment with a custom sequence of button or brake lever actions.

      It also leaves no physical evidence that you’ve modified your scooter.

      Note: I don’t advocate any of the methods that are available, or that you should even be doing it.

      There are risks from hardware and software modifications to remove speed restrictions, and we’ve seen enough stories of people being seriously injured by or when on scooters.

      I also know of a case from Melbourne (can’t find the case reference right now) that happened over five years ago - where someone on an e-bike who’d similarly tampered with and removed the speed limits on it; killing the pedestrian in the process. The moment VicPol worked out the speed of the accident, and discovered the modification - his charges were significantly upgraded, and I understand there was also a seperate civil matter from the victims family seeking significant compensation.

      So if you are thinking about removing the speed limitations - take a deep breath, consider if you should even do it on a scooter being used in public, and reflect on the possible consequences that could happen when something goes wrong.

      • Rare case and only idiots ride fast enuf to kill someone. I have a max scooter that I moded to go 32km/h (update the serial via app). Got stopped by cops one day at booze bus. The cop check my scooter but couldn’t prove anything and I was on my way. Most will go over the 25km limit down hill anyways

  • Nice find!

    Might also be able to get 99bikes to price beat iScoot.com.

    https://iscoot.com.au/products/segway-zt3?cfclick=052b028447…

    iscoot also offers $25 off first order over $499.

    I tried JB online but support said the scooters are only instore and I would have to go instore to get a price match.

    • Nice find that other stores have dropped their price to match Costco. Makes it a breeze to price match ant any of the bike stores with such a policy.

      And iScoot offer free shipping on this item (which is insane if you’re sending it outside the Brisbane metro, or cross country).

  • Single motor, if you live in actual hilly area you need dual motor. i.e. Brizzy, Sydney, Gold Coast.

  • Ive been riding a segway ninebot D18U to work for the last couple of years and the only thing I don't like about it is the lack of acceleration. This could be down to my weight ~100kg and the size of the motor. If I am going up a slight incline or into a wind it really struggles guessing this wouldn't have a problem. I've also been having the loose bolt problem as mentioned by someone else.

  • JB price beat chat said exact price matching might be problematic due to Costco needing membership, but 99bikes just matched immediately over the phone. Guess I'm buying one now 😅

    • What store did you price match it to?

  • Has anyone managed to ride these around town and not look like a flog?

    • Followed a group of 12 year olds on their illegal ebikes. Instantly looked like a saint.

  • 99 Bikes said no to me for a price match… Do I just try another shop?

  • This or the G3? g3 looks to have better specs

  • My order in WA got cancelled
    I am in metro post code 6015 and courier doesn’t deliver here… first time in 20 years I see this
