"the F3 battery is terrible it drains so quick ... the E22 can keep up with it and it’s supposed to have less range."

"As someone who is 160lbs, 5'4", with dual 1200, 1200 can't get me up the hills around me, at all. ... f3 pro is a single motor 1200w. You either didn't read or misread the original comment I'm responding to. And imo a single motor 1200w is not enough. ... I'm referring to an offpath trail on my bike trail in particular and some spots on roads near me. I'm not even in a mountainous area either."
"But i have to do around 5-6Km, twice a week, which 80% are hills, some of them between 5%-10% inclination, and she struggles, alright. ... Nevermind getting a very warm motor temperature as well."
"If there are any steep (+10%?) hills involved, please, get a dual motor, specially if those hills turn out to be at least 3-4Km or more almost non stop. ... ended up needing it for climbing a 250m hill, twice a week, and the thing struggles alright ... the thing is that the motor reaches upwards of 120ºC and that doesn't seem very good to it."

"when I tried a friend's F2 Pro,on somewhat degraded roads, it felt like I was going to damage my spinal cord lol, lack of back suspension really shakes you like a tree."
"None of this is to mention he's going to bottom out the suspension constantly."

"True that"
German with F3 pro here. IHMO that’s the sweet spot e Scooter for most people. Wouldn’t buy the e3 pro personally because you can’t tune it easily
r/ElectricScooters • Please recommend the first e-scooter for European roads ->G3 max is good as well but too heavy for me. 45kmh is not doable with the f3 pro but personally for me I feel not to safe over 30kmh https://escooter.blog/ninebot-segway/ninbot-f3-tuning-ohne-chip-fuer-die-ganze-f-serie/ https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005009381534604.html?_randl_currency=EUR&_randl_shipto=DE&src=google&pdp_npi=4%40dis!EUR!77.98!47.57!!!!!%40!12000051687609683!ppc!!!&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=272-267-0231&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=726717691648&ds_e_matchtype=search&ds_e_device=m&ds_e_network=g&ds_e_product_group_id=296303633664&ds_e_product_id=de1005009381534604&ds_e_product_merchant_id=691614764&ds_e_product_country=DE&ds_e_product_language=de&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=22054759359&albag=172828878419&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22054759359&gbraid=0AAAAAoukdWMxBY_Cbl_J1uIBnbxPrF8xB&gclid=Cj0KCQiA5abIBhCaARIsAM3-zFUNftQWG-LYsrFkBbKV0fiwkHu0huVef27mNiokm1I50g24IpOtiPgaAlqwEALw_wcB You’ll need the f3d edition !
r/ElectricScooters • Please recommend the first e-scooter for European roads ->People are super weird and condescending about kids on scooters here, so you’re not going to get much help. FWIW my 13yo has a Segway F3 and loves it.
r/ElectricScooters • Starter Scooter for 12 year old ->That budget is going to be tough. I got my 12 year old the Segway F3 this spring and it’s been perfect for him. Some of his friends have the E2 Plus II and they all ride all over the city going fishing and school football games and shit together. I think Segway makes great kid scooters with very low top speeds
r/ElectricScooters • Electric Scooter Recs for an 11 year old ->I love mine, it’s had a few issues but nothing that made me want to trade it yet
r/ElectricScooters • Finally got the F3 Pro but it turned out too big and heavy ->The computer had to be reset a few times but it turns out it’s as simple as disconnecting the cable that’s easily accessible
r/ElectricScooters • Finally got the F3 Pro but it turned out too big and heavy ->Other than that I love the deck flex from the carbon fiber too and it just looks nicer, the tire did cost me over $100 to replace each tho if you are on a budget I would recommend something like the fluid mosquito instead which starts at less and has a solid tire so it will last longer
r/ElectricScooters • Finally got the F3 Pro but it turned out too big and heavy ->$850? Fuck me. I paid $755.78 (I did it in euros and that's the exchange rate right now) for mine, and it has suspension; will apparently go 60km/h (no way am I trying it with knobbly tyres on tarmac); has an excellent lighting system (all voluntary); switchable 1WD/2WD; switchable vanity lighting (that I've only ever switched on by accident); disc brakes; tweakable settings so you can set a precise speed for 1st (of 3) gear; a claimed 45-60km range; and starts with a key. Does exactly what I want, and the only thing I can think to complain about is the manual didn't say how to maintain the brakes. It weighs quite a bit though.
r/ElectricScooters • Just got a Ninebot F3, I’m having a love-hate relationship tbh ->I bought the F3 and send it back when I realized their range was greatly exaggerated in real life. The F3 gives me a range of about 22 miles on Sport mode, whereas the G30P gives me about 28. Paying premium for less range was a deal breaker for me, where as the lack of torque would be a deal breaker for others.
r/ElectricScooters • First electric scooter: Segway G30P ($600), MAX G2 ($800) or F3 Pro ($900). Please help. ->I can tell you right now that the G2 is NOT good for hills. It slows a ton. I wouldn't do the F3 either. ZT3 will work, but portability takes a hit, and upgradability is lost for that discount. G3 is a beast. Very portable and sexy. You can add the extra battery when it's out, or even swap the battery for a GT3 battery and gain 50% more internally. (You can do the GT3 battery swap on the ZT3 as well.)
r/NinebotMAX • Help choosing between Segway Max G2, Max G3, F3, and ZT3 Pro for SF commuting ->Hello, I use Deepl. I personally bought the F3Pro model because it is advertised as having a range of 50 km. I weigh 100 kg, so with a backpack I am at the limit of the E-Scooter's capacity, and I can actually travel 25 km. I have traveled 1,200 km with it. As mentioned in another comment, the problem is that we have no information about maintenance, tire or brake replacement. I inflate the tires twice a week to prevent tire fatigue and increase the range.
r/ElectricScooters • Just got a Ninebot F3, I’m having a love-hate relationship tbh ->\>I'm 6'5 300lbs and just ordered the f3pro. Hopefully it's good enough. 1200w should be good for hills and the 450w should enough for normal streets. f3 pro is a single motor 1200w. You either didn't read or misread the original comment I'm responding to. And imo a single motor 1200w is not enough. None of this is to mention he's going to bottom out the suspension constantly.
r/ElectricScooters • best scooter for bigger person ->I like the scooter a lot except for the software I can't seem to get the upgrade and I don't know why they didn't manage the cables better with this . Why did they leave them hanging out? They know better and they can do better . I would have paid $50 more for the cables to be hidden
r/ElectricScooters • Just got a Ninebot F3, I’m having a love-hate relationship tbh ->No not so far it's just annoying to go from the G3 max with perfect cable management to cables hanging out. It actually rides really good
r/ElectricScooters • Just got a Ninebot F3, I’m having a love-hate relationship tbh ->I'm 6'5 300lbs and just ordered the f3pro. Hopefully it's good enough. 1200w should be good for hills and the 450w should enough for normal streets.
r/ElectricScooters • best scooter for bigger person ->Segway f3 is probably the best bang for buck
r/ElectricScooters • Budget electric scooter ->You in Canada? You can grab a f3 pro for 700$, I got it through best buy. If the deal isn't available anymore. Check Facebook marketplace. A few people probably bought them to resell. You should be able to snag one up for 700+tx. I know it's 200$ above your budget but I'd say it's worth it. It's not like you buy a scooter every other month. It's a one time thing and you'd rather have a solid product than 200$ in your pocket imo
r/ElectricScooters • Budget electric scooter ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
