Segway Launches 50 mph GT3 Pro SuperScooter
ARCADIA, Calif., /CNW/ -- Segway, named No. 1 in global electric kick-scooter (eKickScooter) sales with more than 13 million sold worldwide, today announces that the GT3 Pro SuperScooter —the brand's fastest to date—is now available at store.segway.com (store-ca.segway.com in Canada).
First unveiled at CES 2025, the GT3 Pro is the latest in Segway's GT Series of SuperScooters, a category of high-performance electric mobility the brand created in 2022 when it launched the original GT1 and GT2. Once again redefining what electric scooters are capable of, the GT3 Pro is engineered to dominate with acceleration of 0 to 30 mph in just 3.9 seconds in Ultra Boost Mode, a blistering top-speed of 49.7 miles per hour and a range of up to 86 miles* on a single charge thanks to its 7,000-watt max power (dual 3,500-watt motors) and 2,160Wh battery. The GT3 Pro is also the first Segway scooter built on an all-new 72-volt architecture for higher power output and improved efficiency.
"The GT3 Pro is the exotic supercar of electric scooters," said Tom Hebert, VP of sales. "It's the absolute pinnacle of performance and cutting-edge technology in the category, delivering power and precision wrapped in style."
Power is nothing without control, so braking performance is equally advanced, with dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes, slotted performance rotors and S-ABS capable of 25 pulses per second to stop quickly and confidently. A selectable two-wheel-drive layout, combined with Dynamic Traction Control and a precision-tuned dual coil suspension—featuring a front linkage with adjustable compression damping and a rear swingarm design—maximizes traction on the 11-inch ultrawide, self-sealing tires.
And like all of Segway's third-generation electric scooters, it features SegRide™ Stability Enhancement, which optimizes geometry and ergonomics for each model to finely tune the ride dynamics. The result is intuitive handling and a smooth, stable ride that doesn't feel nervous or twitchy, even at high speeds.
Equal parts brain and brawn, the GT3 Pro also features Segway's suite of smart tech including AirLock hands-free proximity unlocking, Apple Find My compatibility and an improved battery management system (BMS 2.0) for electrical and charging safety. The cockpit is tied together by a brilliant full-color TFT display with multiple real-time smart functions including map navigation, speed, remaining range, ride stats, Bluetooth connectivity, incoming call notifications and more. And if daylight runs out before the ride ends, an automatic 14-watt headlight with high and low beams lights the way, while front and rear turn signals and brake lights provide added visibility. On the connectivity front, the redesigned Segway Mobility App provides more control and customization than ever before with a user-friendly interface. It's all finished off with signature Segway style in a black and champagne colorway and a sleek yet rugged aesthetic.
Cutting-edge technology meets thrilling performance in the all-new GT3 Pro, the latest game changer from Segway redefining what a SuperScooter can be.
"The GT3 Pro truly is in a class of its own," said Hebert. "It's where performance and innovation come together to deliver an exhilarating experience unlike anything else."
The Segway GT3 Pro retails for $2,699.99 USD ($3,999.99 CAD) and is available at store.segway.com in the US (store-ca.segway.com in Canada) and through official Segway dealers starting today.

Premier Ford announces $1.6 billion funding boost for municipal infrastructure at 2025 AMO Conference
OTTAWA, ON, /CNW/ - Today at the 2025 Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Conference in Ottawa, Premier Doug Ford announced an additional $1.6 billion for the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program. AMO welcomes the boost in funding for core infrastructure projects, like roads and water systems, that support communities and growth. AMO has called for infrastructure investments to support growth, build more homes, and provide economic stimulus in the face of the trade dispute with the United States and global economic uncertainty. "Investments in municipal infrastructure have consistently proven to be the best way to protect local, provincial and national economies," said Robin Jones, AMO President. "These investments will not just help to build homes, they will provide thousands of jobs in communities across the province and lay the foundation for long-term productivity. We commend Premier Ford for these important investments." Municipalities are committed to supporting the Province's ambitious growth agenda and doing all they can to help achieve it. Despite rising construction costs, municipalities are increasing infrastructure investment this year to support more housing and economic development. Municipal applications to existing infrastructure programs have been robust, demonstrating no shortage of shovel ready projects that can make a meaningful impact province-wide. AMO is calling for a stimulus investment of $3.45 billion annually over five years from both provincial and federal sources for municipal infrastructure and social housing. These investments would help to mitigate the negative impacts on Ontario's economy and help save jobs across the province, by: Protecting 14,000 jobs that would be lost in 2026 alone, including almost 5,000 in the construction sector, and Reducing Ontario's GDP contraction by 28 per cent and adding $17.6 billion back into the Ontario economy over the next five years. Stimulus investments would lead to ongoing productivity gains totaling as much as $6 billion in 2029 alone. The provincial announcements today are a considerable contribution to this stimulus investment. "It will take investment from all governments to address the need for core infrastructure that underpins our economy," said Robin Jones, AMO President. "Investing in municipal infrastructure now will pay off in long-term productivity." The annual AMO conference is an important opportunity for municipal and provincial leaders from across Ontario to come together, address shared challenges and make Ontario's communities, and the province as a whole, more successful. AMO launched an Indigenous Relations Action Plan at the Conference, working with partners to strengthen municipal-Indigenous relationships. Tomorrow, delegates will turn their attention to a full day of sessions on pressing municipal priorities. The plenary program will include The Honourable Rob Flack, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and the Ministers' Forum, a Q&A opportunity with Cabinet ministers. Concurrent sessions will explore housing and land-use planning, municipal finance and economic development, Indigenous partnerships, and AI in municipal services. Program information is available at or on the AMO Conference app for iPhone and Android. The Conference hashtag is #AMO2025. AMO works to make municipal governments stronger and more effective. AMO brings together Ontario's 444 municipalities to achieve shared goals and meet common challenges. Follow AMO on LinkedIn, X: @AMOPolicy, and Instagram: @amopolicy. Quick facts Ontario municipalities own and operate almost $1 trillion worth of public infrastructure. Over the next 10 years, municipalities are planning for more than $250 billion in capital expenditures – with around $100 billion related to growth. Municipalities are planning $51 billion in capital spending between 2025 and 2027. This represents more than 27,000 infrastructure projects and more than 19,000 new social housing units. With tariffs increasing project costs, municipal infrastructure projects already in progress need support to stay on track. Municipalities invest $68 billion annually in the provincial and local economies. This spending includes about $26 billion annually on construction and $22 billion procuring other related goods and services.

Minister MacDonald announces initial list of Livestock Tax Deferral regions for 2025
OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, the Honourable Heath MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, announced the initial list of regions that will qualify for the Livestock Tax Deferral in 2025. The Livestock Tax Deferral provision allows livestock producers in prescribed areas, who are forced to sell all or part of their breeding herd due to drought, excess moisture or flooding, to defer a portion of their income from sales until the following tax year. The income may be at least partially offset by the cost of reacquiring breeding animals, thus reducing the tax burden associated with the original sale. Buffer zones have been applied to capture impacted producers who are outside the boundaries of the prescribed regions but may be experiencing similar conditions. Weather, climate and production data from across Canada will continue to be monitored throughout the remainder of the season and regions will be added to the list when they meet the criteria. Livestock Tax Deferral serves as an important instrument for farmers to mitigate the financial burden of drought, excess moisture or flooding. The Government of Canada will continue to work to ensure farmers receive timely information to support their herd management decisions. Quote "As we continue to see the very real—and challenging—effects of climate change, Canada's new government is committed to supporting our livestock producers. By offering a tax deferral option to those in affected areas, we are helping folks manage uncertainty, make informed business decisions, and safeguard their livelihoods." - The Honourable Heath MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Quick facts To defer income under the Livestock Tax Deferral provision, the breeding herd must have been reduced by at least 15%. In the case of consecutive years of drought, excess moisture or flooding, producers may defer sales income to the first year in which the region is no longer prescribed. Subsequent regions will be added to the list when they meet the eligibility criteria of forage shortfalls of 50% or more caused by drought, excess moisture or flooding. Producers have access to a comprehensive suite of business risk management (BRM) programs to help them manage significant risks that threaten the viability of their farm and are beyond their capacity to manage. BRM programs, including AgriStability, AgriInsurance and AgriInvest, are the first line of defense for producers facing disasters and farmers are encouraged to make use of these programs to protect their farming operation. For the 2025 program year, the compensation rate for AgriStability will be increased from 80% to 90% and the maximum payment limit will be increased from $3 million to $6 million. 2025 Livestock Tax Deferral – Prescribed Regions Additional links Livestock Tax Deferral Provision Canadian Drought Monitor Business risk management programs Follow us on Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn Web: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada SOURCE Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
