Segway’s first off-road scooter rolls over rough terrain on 11-inch wheels

Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

The new Segway-Ninebot ZT3 Pro is the company’s first electric scooter that’s designed to handle terrain considerably rougher than the average urban commute. Switching to a much slower eco mode will boost the scooter’s range to almost 44 miles, but the ZT3 Pro seems more appealing for quick bursts of high-speed fun. A simple three-inch LCD screen serves as the rider’s dashboard, with information on speed and the battery’s remaining charge, while a headlight, turn signals, and brake light allow the ZT3 Pro to be used even after the sun has gone down.
