Segway has unveiled the MAX G3 Plus, a new premium commuter electric scooter in its MAX series, with a 717Wh battery and a stated range of up to 56 miles in low-power mode. The company also changed how it calculates range to better reflect real-world riding, using a performance-based threshold. The model adds rear turn signals, updated braking and comfort upgrades, and will go on sale in the United States from Aug. 25.

Signs have emerged that Yamaha is preparing to launch a new electric scooter. A near-production model appeared in Japanese design registration documents, first reported by AMCN and cited by Electrek. The scooter appears to be a 125cc-class model with proportions similar to Yamaha\'s RayZR 125. It may use a mid-mounted motor driving the rear wheel by belt, an under-seat battery pack, and an unusual rear suspension layout.
