Segway - MAX G2 / MAX G2E

You pay segway for reliability and quality. All of their scooters are underperforming for a reason to make everything way safer than it needs, thats why you wont ever find 60v scooters from them, iirc its their policy that +52v its way more unsafe with scooter batteries. I have ninebot max g2e, bought it in 2024-09-20, rode 2.923km so far and the only thing i had to replace was front bearings and rear tail light because i ride in heavy rains. Although my internal charger died recently, so there's that at least i wont be bothering replacing it, as its design flaw of the scooter - got 42V 2A charger for 22e and it does the work. Almost all screws came with loctite and just clean it up with tire maintenance and nothing else required, for me at least, mine is still looking brand new besides the dirty road scratches from pebbles etc. tires have almost no wear too, so w.e. the brand i want it on every single scooter. Wish MAX G3 wasn't so gimped with the battery or had some sort of foot rest on the deck, would've upgraded to it, but tbh i'll probably go G2 MASTER 2025 and most likely regret with the difference in quality and reliability lol.

Get one from Segway and make sure its dual suspension. Max G2 E has dual suspension but there might also be better models for money. If you are skinny and dont weigh much then segway is powerful enough but if you weigh like 100kg(EU)or 220pounds then its gonna have problems and motor is gonna heat up alot. I also recommended segway because its cheap to repair, often times people buy scooters but dont consider cost to repair.

This is what happens when a company uses subpar batteries, they work great out of the box but after a year of charge cycles they can’t get close to holding the voltage they used to have so you end up with a scooter that’s effectively crippled its top end and range after 12 months. I would look at something like the [Segway Max G2](https://store.segway.com/ninebot-kickscooter-max-g2) which is an absolute workhorse, then jut grab an [aftermarket seat like this](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNllCF3). If you wait a bit until Black Friday you can probably get them for a little bit less. Update: I literally just saw [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/NinebotMAX/s/wHAZuQwn8a) after commenting which is the exact setup I just recommended.

Couple hundred, Max G2’s are built like a Hilux. They last forever.

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.

The g2 max is on a whole nother level than the 365.. You will love the rear wheel engine so much more than the 365 cheap front engine..It will feel like a new Cadillac compared to the 365.

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)

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

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.

I agree. If you can utilize the E & N Trail route, that's the easiest and safest way. I have a Segway Ninebot G30P and for my needs, it's good. That being said, I don't have to do many steep inclines or travel that far (about 2km from house to work), and I live close to Country Club, so I don't have to go far for my basic needs. I see a lot more people riding e-scooters, so it's definitely becoming more popular. I swear I saw some rental e-scooters at one of the city rental things in the north end, so you could maybe go rent one and see how you like it first!

Well, my model is discontinued apparently lol! This looks like it's an upgraded version of mine: https://a.co/d/3au1EC2

Segway max g2 even if you get it used or refurbished you won’t regret it

Try and find a segway max g2 for like 200-300, my job was about the same distance as yours a little further and it did well. About 10-12 minutes to get to work.

I just rode my segway max g2 again in rain look for a used one on craigslist or FB Marketplace.
