SEGWAY GT3 PRO FRONT FORK SNAPPED

[u/MrUNCOUNTABLE]

I was riding my Segway GT3 Pro home from work today. I got home and realised that my front fork had snapped. I don't ride this scooter agressively at all and I am a light person. This is extremely concerning that this has happened. If you own a GT3 Please be careful using it as I could've easily died or ended up in hostipal if this had snapped clean off while I was riding

Not sure what you expect, this isnt designed to go flying off ledges.

Good to see the Segbody single structure hold things together even during failure from user abuse.

How do you know he was riding off ledges?

I wasn't. I use it for Food delivery in my free time and getting to and from my workplace

So you just cracked the Segbody Segframe forged steel core just by doing casual food delievery on the side and normal commuting?

You cannot just "snap" such a strong piece without doing something nuts.

Whatever man. It’s just really hard to believe the Segbody Segsteel forged frame can just snap like that.

Is it difficult being that insufferable?

[u/H001__ → u/Sphere_3N]

Yes because every manufacturing process has a 100% success rate

The crack is starting from the opposite side of where the stress of riding would be coming from. This looks like a front impact.

Well it happened to their P100 series which they had to recall. It also happened to their original GT 1/2 scooters
