The launch of the new speaker system coincides with the company's announcement regarding its new [GT Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/segway-kickscooters-gt-series) scooters, which come equipped with electric engines capable of producing top speeds of 43.5 mph. Obviously, driving a near-silent [electric scooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-electric-scooter) while going 40+ miles is quite dangerous, which is why Segway initially decided to develop the Engine Wireless Speaker. The speaker itself features Bluetooth connectivity, a rechargeable battery, and IP55 dust and waterproofing. In addition, it can be easily charged through a standard USB-C port and can also double as a personal stereo system when not attached to a scooter.
