MAX G2 / MAX G2E

i'm seeing a few different things going on here * height: i'm not much taller than you and easily ride a 100 lb scooter * price: you could get a much better scooter for a little more * "find my" function: sounds like a well hidden $20 tile could do the same thing honestly, i'd just recommend 1. getting something from a local escooter shop (so if you have maintenance issues you can just take it back to them) and 2. shopping based on range, as approximated via watt hours of the battery calculated by multiplying voltage X amp hours. E3 has about 368watt hours and probably around 12 miles range (6 miles there, 6 miles back) which i wouldn't waste my time with. edit: just looking at samsclub, i'd get this: https://www.samsclub.com/ip/Segway-Ninebot-MAX-G2-Electric-Kick-Scooter-Ride-On-w-1000W-Motor/16351214189?classType=REGULAR&from=/search but still way overpriced for what you get. but you'll at least get 20ish miles out of it which makes it seem like something to at least consider.

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.

It is a good scooter, but I don’t think it’s very good as a “first scooter” because of its power. I think the g30 or g2 would be a good first scooter, as it was the same for me

I find it’s deck extremely uncomfortable compared to the G2. Buy it at bestbuy try it then return it
