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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
