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

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 !

There is also the regular F3 (not the Pro) as an option that may be less expensive, and comparable to the G2? I was choosing between the F3 and the G2 last year and when with the F3 because I have to carry the scooter upstairs to my apartment, and the F3 is 10 pounds lighter. Something to consider if you will have to carry the scooter regularly.

Ah, bummer on the regular F3 being out of stock. It's a nice scooter. In any case, the F3 Pro is also noticeably lighter than the G2. Something to consider if you expect to have to carry the scooter around. The F3 folding mechanism (latch setup) is also nicer.

I love mine, it’s had a few issues but nothing that made me want to trade it yet

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

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

Just get a max g3 or the cheaper f3 pro I think is the model. I’ve tried both of those and think they are very reliable. I’ve wrote them through snow and 6 inch mud puddles like nothing and never once had it. Either one of them stopped working before I sold them off to get a brand new max G3 cause I bought my first one used. I’ve been happy with Segway and I have some friends that have ice and wheels that are very happy as well. I don’t know it’s up to you.

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.

The G2 has a much better real life range. I bought an F3 yesterday and cancelled the order when I realized real world range was 18-22 miles on sport mode. My current G30P gives me 25-28 on sports mode currently. If you care about motor power and comfort F3 is good. But if you care about range as I do, an F3 feel like a downgrade.

Want comfort? Segway F3. Want something practical on a budget? Segway G2. Want something you would like that would eat those hills for lunch? Segway G3.

Refurbished. I got my G2 from an eBay auction for 320 dollars with 20 miles on it. It’s from a large company that has been operating since like 2001 with a 99.6% rating based out of Atlanta. The G3 was a local pick up and the guy sold all types of electronics. Scooter was Unblinded and in its original box.

He had about 5 or 6 more G3s when I got mine. 2 were new and the rest had a few scratches with image varying from 20 to 75 miles. I could have gotten a scratched up one for 500 but I liked the idea of buying it new. I scratched it on my first week despite that though lol The scratches he was selling them with were minor but still.

After being a regular on this sub for 6 months, it baffles me Kukrin hasn’t gone out of business. They sell budget scooters that last 3 months to a year and a half (if you are lucky) and are able to sell them cheap due to buying bulk frames which they rebrand on cheap questionable batteries. Motors and controllers can fail. You simply have to search this sub with the brands name and you will see countless examples of this, yet everyday you see people coming on here with interest in these scooters….

If you want something your whole family can use, that is very very water resistant, a Segway is your best bet. If you want something modern and sturdy, the Segway E3Pro is a good choice. If you don’t mind mediocre range, but want a smooth ride the F3 is good. If you just want something on a budget that will be a bit faster (22 mph) than all of these options even though it’s not new tech, the Segway Max G2 is a good choice. If you don’t care about range at all and want something fun the Kaabo Urban is a solid choice.

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.

\>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.
