The wires always burn and the rear fender + break is going to die also the handle bar screw can break on its own. The lock ob gandle bar also breaks fast. all of this happended on 3 models of mine. g30 ii aswell. At the tume of release it was still the best but the g2 way way more polished

Maybe you guys dont live around lots of hills or weight less. But on my g30 ii i noticed the wire burning only after opening it because i had to replace the fender. I aint making this up its just my personal expierence. All my scooter have more than 10k km on them.

24% incline is proper steep, that'll kill most single motor scooters. The G2 Max is decent but for that kind of climb you really want dual motors with proper torque Might be worth looking at something like a Vsett 9+ or if budget's tight, the Ninebot Max G30 can actually handle steep hills surprisingly well for a single motor. Just depends what you're willing to spend really That hill's gonna drain battery fast regardless of what you get, but at least with 2.6km total you won't need massive range

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

Funny enough, there is an overheating flaw. I actually loved that scooter but turns out it will melt cables on hills.  I’m not saying don’t buy it, it was a great scooter and I loved it, but after a certain amount of time it just can’t handle hills for some reason.  (I had 2 and both had the same issue)

Not for that price. It’s a great scooter, very durable and reliable. But that’s high mileage and it doesn’t have suspension. $250 or similar

Bout 14 on Sport limited to 20mph Daily commute mostly flat with one steep climb at the end of the return trip. The hill totally stops my G30 but the G3 maintains speed all the way up and loses 3mph on the last few yards at the highest steepest part.

You want a upgraded G30 max, segway has other high end models they are going to charge you much more for with some of those features. Some things like battery replacement are anti consumer to lock you into expensive repairs or new sales but there is some tinge of the truth when they say they cant risk consumers buying 3rd party battery packs and blowing up their scooters. When they sell these to a third party and that third party will be responsible for the damage should they source poor replacement batteries.

If segway makes it easy or a supported operation to change the battery then they will be seen to bare more responsibility for any issue that comes up from swapping batteries. There is of course a simple fix for your problem. Buy a G30 Max an then pay a fabricator to add in a quick swap battery option. There are plenty of videos on how to remove a battery. But you will have voided your warranty reducing any exposure Segway could incur should your hot swap system end poorly.

Oh sorry I didn’t read that part. 800$ cnd is not much for scooter. The 9bot G30 max is excellent
