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

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.

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.

Segway f3 is probably the best bang for buck

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

I literally owned both. Got an F3 Pro a month ago. The ST3 pro 2 weeks ago. I sold the ST3 pro. It was okay. Higher top speed was nice. But the ride felt way less stable and more wobbly all the time. I never felt unsafe but it felt like I had less control and turning was not as tight. The "restorative breaking" is jerky on high and terrible if going slow and weaving which happens sometimes. It was bigger and heavier which I didn't like. The app disconnected a lot and had way less bluetooth range. And despite claiming 5km higher range had less than the f3 pro. Honestly I was really disappointed in it because I expected it to be the better scooter and it simply wasn't in every way. Also shorter deck which was less comfortable. The F3 Pro for me personally, almost feels made for me. I'm returning it also lol but only because of finances. I love it. If it had a slightly higher top speed like 35 - 45kmph, and slighter higher range at said top speed, and fast changing, I would keep it for sure. I'm aware I just basicslly described the Max G3 but the range is barely any better than the F3 Pro and it's worse at its top speed which is lame. Also I love how light the F3 Pro is. I hope next years model adds a few kmph to the top speed, increases the range by a moderate amount, adds fast changing and keeps it light with a similar look. Might finance a Max G3 though lol.
