"I camped for many years in the Pacific Northwest with a MSR hubba hubba and never got wet. ... There is no place on a properly tensioned hubba hubba that the fly touches the tent."
"I have a Coleman instant up cabin tent and it’s completely waterproof."
"camped out in the rain for 5 days with it and my tent was the only one still bone dry on the inside when we were packing up"

"My 1st PCT section hike i brought one of the expedition mats and an inflatable pad. My inflatable pad ended up popping in a manor that was un repairable and I was soo thankful to have the ccf"
"I've used my Exped for 500miles. I've never had a problem with it. ... Personally, I would only buy Exped or Big Agnes sleeping pads because they're the only ones I've never seen leak."
"I've used it for about 80 days over several trips. It's a very robust build."

"I would not take anything without double suspension. The improvement in ride quality is hughe. ... I love my G2 and would never again buy a scooter without double suspension."
"I probably spoiled myself by going for a fully suspended one on my first purchase (the Max G2) ... 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."
"the G2 is such a huge step up"

"I got 19 miles of range at 260lbs of weight."
"Good battery. ... I have about a 5km ride to work so no issues with the battery even in cold. ... But I’ve never had an issue with having to charge at work since it’s such a short distance."
"would get 40 miles range easily ... I live in a rual area where nothing is flat in any direction."

"I love how the MAX G2 has a 3 amp charger built into the board itself and you only need to carry a clover style direct 240v power cable to charge it. ... I prefer having less weight on my shoulders so this is an excellent design choice."
"Nice thing with the maxG2 is that I just have to carry the charging cable - and not the whole block as it’s built in."

"I just wish it had a more compact fold, that thing takes up my entire trunk. ... I just bought a bigger SUV because I couldn’t have a stroller and groceries in the car at the same time."
"Found it so cumbersome and heavy."
"It’s bulky and heavy so I avoid loading it into the car and opt to use a carrier when we’ve driven places instead."

"Inclines of 10-15° would result in a top speed of 14-17km/h at full battery, whereas a short incline of 20-25° reduced me to 4-7km/h. At inclines of 30° I was completely stopped even in sport mode. ... This isn't going to be what I'd consider commuter viable for anyone over 75kg - unless they live in dead flat suburbs."
"the G2 is NOT good for hills. It slows a ton."
"The hill totally stops my G30"

"firmware updates breaking basic functionality"
"Netgear told me to factory reset after every firmware update. It took over one hour every time…They write it in every forum thread. They never fixed their firmware. This was an awful experience."
"I've tried Orbi several times over the last few hardware generations and it had been the same shitty experience for me each time. It seemed there was always something up with it"

I’ve had the Segway G2 Max since October 2023. It has not needed any repairs or maintenance other than putting air in the tires.
r/ElectricScooters • What e-scooter did you use for over 1 year without one repair? ->The trusty ninebot max. Good size including wheels, one of the safest and good range. Power brick is built into the deck so you only need to carry a small cable in your bag if you want to charge at work
r/auckland • E-Scooter recommendations ->Got 2x Ninebot Max G2s. The first one I got was so good I bought a second to ride with friends. I graduated from a Ninebot F30, which was/is a great entry model. Can't recommend Max G2s enough - be patient with sales - I got the second one during a 20% discount sale on Amazon.
r/ElectricScooters • Let’s check the scooter rankings and see how high yours is. ->This! Thank you for bringing up the Max G2. EZ recco no brainer
r/ElectricScooters • Which e-scooters are the most reliable and good quality? ->Ninebot MAX G2 best
r/ElectricScooters • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended electric scooters in the past year ->Lots of used segway g30's and g2's on the market since the g3 shipped this week. My advice, save an extra 100 and pick up one of those, or come up with a good sob story and try to sweet talk one for 200 lol
r/ElectricScooters • I’m 14 and have a budget of $200. What electric scooter should i buy? ->Completely up to you, but as a G30 rider (when shit was cheap pre-covid) the lack of suspension and the short handlebars were such a pain. I just feel like the G2 is such a huge step up that it would be worth paying the extra. But again, it's your scooter and cash. Just giving my experience :)
r/ElectricScooters • Best scooter under $500? ->Actually... I'm eating my words. It's not new but holy shit you could do a lot worse [https://www.segway.com.au/products/max-g2-certified-refurbished-segway-ninebot-electric-kickscooter-good-condition-minor-scratched-copy](https://www.segway.com.au/products/max-g2-certified-refurbished-segway-ninebot-electric-kickscooter-good-condition-minor-scratched-copy)
r/ElectricScooters • I want to buy an escooter in Australia hopefully under 700 if possible, I would prefer over 25kmh but with price if it has to be 25 then so be it. Can anybody give me any good suggestions for scooters, from trusted stores and websites cuz I’ll probably have to order it. ->Just a mike to work shouldn’t affect the battery too much since it’s such a short distance. I ride last year on fresh snow and on frozen slush (so not sheer ice like freezing rain. A couple things, go slow, and go really really slow around corners. You might literally have to get off and turn the scooter. I found driving on fresh snow the best - same as with a car as lots of traction and nothing is packed down to icy snow. Dress super warm. Finally if you don’t have full face helmet, googles and/or a balaclava that warms your face is highly recommended. Those little snowflakes feel like bits of glass hitting your face and eyes lol
r/ElectricScooters • How much does winter impact which scooter/s to consider? ->I just have a Segway max g2. Reliable. Good battery. Decent suspension. Has “traction control” which you can turn on via the app but not sure I have enough experience to have noticed a difference. G2 max is often on sale. I have about a 5km ride to work so no issues with the battery even in cold. Nice thing with the maxG2 is that I just have to carry the charging cable - and not the whole block as it’s built in. But I’ve never had an issue with having to charge at work since it’s such a short distance. I’m an older female and feel the cold so I wear snow pants and heated jacket too . Princess? Maybe. But being cold sucks and I don’t want the bulk of a thick winter coat.
r/ElectricScooters • How much does winter impact which scooter/s to consider? ->Best bang for your buck for first scooter, high quality build so little maintenance required - check tires regularly, clean it up. Enough power for anything except steepest hills. YouTube how to ride scooter and avoid mistakes and good luck, i went from ninebot max g2 3k km to max g3 and it feels like my old scooter was a toy.
r/ElectricScooters • Segway Ninebot G3 ->Hopping off stairs or curbs? Doing jumps? Often hit potholes or bumps? Avoid, if you want it to last. Choose smoother roads, slow down on uneven pavement. Save up for a Ninebot Max. It is more durable, if used as intended. Buy nice, or buy twice.
