Well they all have better suspension than most Segway scooters, better speed, battery, range better build quality, not overpriced and parts availability. Not sure if you heard but the Segway p100s were recalled bc they keep snapping in half and it's also happening to the gt2 which is a $2500 scooter! I heard people complain about Segway ignoring them when they try to return their p100s

I just had to make the same decision a couple of weeks ago, the G2 Max vs the ZT3 Pro. The only reason I chose the G2 is because I live upstairs in an apartment, and the ZT3 is too heavy to carry up and down the stairs (it weighs 65lbs, whereas the G2 weighs 50lbs). But if I had a garage where I could just roll it in and out I would have bought the ZT3. That said, I’m totally happy with the G2, smooth ride, great distance, fast enough, great features, very nice scooter.

The kukirins are great, I  have the G2 and I love it. The G3 got a facelift model recently,  so idk if it's a good scooter now, because the old version wasn't great as far as I know. G2 Max is also very good, but it's larger. Please take in to consideration the weight of the scooter , especially if you climb stairs every day. Also how much do you weight and do you climb hills on your commute?

Many scooters offer a range of around 40-60 miles, but in real world use it dwindles to 20-30 actual miles with weather, weight and speed conditions. My g2 max advertised 45 miles I believe and I use it to the last bar on my commute, at around 22 miles. I think an e bike would better fit your interest

Mate, get yourself a Kukirin G2 Max for €700 or the Master for €900. Hell, you could even just get the G2 pro for just over €500.

I may be biased, but the Kukirin G2 Max is legit. $749 great suspension, 1000w motor, over 30mph, solid range.

Get the ZT3. You’re gonna want the suspension and comfort not too far into getting your first scooter. That’s the mistake I made with not getting a suspension equipped scooter as my first. Don’t even bother listening to the G2 comments, you’re gonna want the larger platform even if it does weigh slightly more.

It does but I would take the forks over the inside system of the G2 personally. Plus it's a much higher platform which from my experience would help significantly.

Kukirin performs terrible in rain i had to replace my bearings in a few months on my g2 max

I had to make the same decision and went with the max g2 and I am happy with the decision. I was torn between it and the babymaker 2 bike.

There is no trade-off between speed and reliability. A dependable scooter is a dependable scooter. If you have one that doesn't work every time you turn it on, then you bought the wrong one. As far as rain, you better have pneumatic tires. Outside of that, I wouldn't leave anything out in the rain that cost as much as scooters do. Now, are you talking about the MaxG2, or the G2Max? One is Segway, one is Kukirin. The Kukirin is around $780. The Kukirin G2Max, although it's only a 48volt, advertises a top end at 35mph and 50 mile range. You're in the game with that. I've never owned a Kukirin, but those are the specs of a respectable beginner scooter. You'll be able to ride that for a couple years before you start looking to upgrade. 35 mph is that first swert spot. Can't you finance, though? Is your credit trash? Because a couple hundred down and you can have a nice vehicle for less than $50/month. You're downplaying the speed aspect rn because 1. you appear to be new to this and 2. your priority is budget, i get it. But unless you're a 12 yr old or a girl, 18-22 mph will be frustrating after about 2 months. Im a grown ass adult with a 10 yr old daughter saying this. Which means if you're in your early 20s or close to that, you'll get frustrated at that speed even sooner. If I was that age theres no way I would be satisfied riding at that speed. It's just a means, theres no FUN at 20 mph. Plus, once you start riding you meet other riders. Riding in a group is fun asf. Unless everyone else is on.Dualtrons and Vsettes and you're on your low end thingy doing 20. That will be them last time.they invite you to ride w them, frfr.

I can't speak to that. The only scooter I've owned besides the Niu is the G2 Max, but I haven't yet had to deal with Segway customer support.

You better off getting a g2 max or something equivalent to that zt3

I’ve been riding on the max g2 for a week feeling like I should have gone for the F2 pro. The thing is just too heavy for me. Still debating.

Seems like everything was better on the max g2 except for the weight. Oh and the pro came with a bag hook that I really liked. That being said, I just hated how bulky the g2 was for my need (carrying it upstairs quite often). The F2 pro was lighter and felt more nimble, and for almost half the price ($600 vs $1000), it just made more sense. The range drop (22 miles vs 25 miles at high speed) wasn’t a big deal. I do miss the suspension a bit, but I mostly ride on paved roads. Oh and I thought the f2 pro was visually better looking, and less of a target for thieves. Overall, very happy with the F2 pro.

Let me know what you go with and how much you spend I currently have a g2 max and want something faster but not to spend over a grand and would try to sell mine. But I’m curious what you end up picking

I think it's overlooked since there isn't much room for modding in the F2 Pro. The Max G2 and G30 have more space for aftermarket upgrades. The F2 Pro is a good scooter for the price. I have one. The only thing I don't like is that spring cause after a week it clicks now. And the charging time is pretty slow.

Max G2 is worth the price the ZT3 is not at all. The ZT3 battery is incredibly small for the price and has not been fully tested for issues with it yet. I'd say to go for the Max G2 if you're ok with going a little bit slower. If the ZT3 is on sale for 850 dollars and under then it wouldn't be a bad deal.

It's going to depend on where you live, beyond the more mainstream brands like Segway or whatever I don't think these will be sold on Amazon :D Also note the options I refer to will be for the most part more expensive, I'm mostly pointing out that the scooter is a bit too heavy for what it features, that doesn't make it bad bang for buck or anything. But yeah for the 30+kg/65+lb range of weight you can get some neat dual motor setups with bigger batteries from brands like Teverun, Nami and stuff. The Max G2 remains a great option if it's your first personal escooter though, don't sweat it.

Why'd you need to replace the battery? I have 3500ish miles on my Max G2, and I am at 92% original capacity. No need to change any time soon. By around the 10000 mile mark I might have to consider it though lol. I also exclusively use a 5 amp fast charger.

One of the main reasons I went with a Max G2 is because I sometimes have to ride in the rain. It's externals are IPX5 rated, with the battery and controller being IPX7 rated, which is fully waterproof. Traction isn't a big problem if you have tires designed for rain (max G2 does) and you ride sensibly and give more time to react, like you would in a car. This thing even has traction control lol. They let rental scooters sit out in the rain all the time, they don't just break from some rain.

Don't buy random no name scooters on amazon lol. Stick with bigger names like niu, segway, gotrax, inmmotion. For that price I would get a segway G30 or an inmmotion climber. The G2 max would be much better if you can stretch your budget a little higher. It has great suspension, which I think on a scooter with small tires is essential for comfy riding. I personally wouldn't buy a scooter without suspension, but a lot of people don't mind. An unspoken benefit of suspension is it also puts a lot less stress on the welded/bolted frame. I got mine for $900 on amazon, i've put 500 miles on it in the month i've owned it and it's been great. Under $900-1000 you're not gonna find many reliable scooters with suspension besides segway/gotrax. If you can go even higher than that, a vsett or nami would be dank too.

G2 Max is alright, but you want dual motor for your weight/going uphill. Dual 500w motors will produce TWICE as much torque as a single 1000w motor. Torque is the "twisting force" of the motor, which is what gets you up hills and makes it easier to move more weight. A bike/car has gears to make more torque. Escooters use direct-drive hub motors, so the only way to get more torque is with more power(watts), or use dual motors. The G3 Pro has 2x 1200w vs 1x 1000w on the G2 Max. That's *2.4x the power, and 4.8x the torque!!!**

My Max G2 has a 36v 551Wh battery, and I consistently get about 35-40km of range, going 30-35km/h (155lbs with gear on) through mostly hills. So about the same as you, with *half* the battery. There's many factors that influence range such as single vs dual motor, type of tires, how aggressive you drive, how much you brake, regen vs. coasting, etc. There's a video of the original 1500Wh Emove cruiser going 104km, with full throttle. Many other people have reported getting up to 100km of range with 1600-2000Wh, while going a comfortable 30-40km/h average. My point is, you simply do not need anywhere near 3240Wh to go 100km unless you want to go QUICK.

Haha, same here. I was deciding between the Max G2 and the Lectric XP 3.0 for commuting. I was torn because I needed something VERY reliable, and wasn't sure if an escooter could handle the nasty roads here. I went with the Max G2, and am really glad I did. I don't think the Lectric would have held up to the abuse my G2 has gone through. After I got my Max G2, I realized a huge advantage I hadn't even considered. Electric scooters are portable/small enough to bring with you inside stores/retaurants/work/etc, and no one really cares (if they do, go somewhere else lol). Ebikes (even foldable ones) are too large/heavy to take into most places, and most won't even let you anyways. That means you have to lock it up outside, and no matter how many locks/alarms/trackers you have, there's always a chance it gets stolen. The longer you leave it, the higher the chance.

This would be a clear best scooter option for me if it had suspension! I have the G2 Max and it’s fantastic but struggles on extreme hills.

I take roads like this on my Kukirin g2. Not perfectly comfortable, but stable, and can also go top speed.

The E2 is, to use a technical term, weaksauce. The G2 is a much better scooter... till it breaks. When it does you better have some DIY skills to fix it, because Kugoo/KuKirin's customer care is mostly notable for its absence.

Not more easily than most generics, and actually probably somewhat less easily since Kugoo have *some* quality control - compared to, say, nameless generics from Banggood/Aliexpress. The problem isn't so much that the scooter *will* break - maybe it doesn't and you ride happily on it for years. The problem is that *if* it breaks, Kugoo will very likely not want to know about you and you'll be left trying to fix it yourself. Which is very often eminently doable, mind. But you have to be in that mindset.

Buy the kukirin g2 its the same price and its much better i have the 4 pro gen 2 and its not that good for the price

the kukirin is way faster and 800w is nominal, at peak it has 1200w

Is the seat required? I can recommend kukirin g2 or g2 pro. Maybe get just a bit more money and get kukirin g1 pro.

I just found out the g1 pro is sold out. G2 is definitely going to carry you well. It's quite fast also.
