Segway - Ninebot KickScooter MAX G30P

I have a max G30P it’s amazing. Easy do 10 miles in sport. It’ll do 16mi with my 220lb but on it in sport on one charge. I also love that it’s very easy to charge with the cable, I bought a second cable to carry with in case I need to charge on the go. Now I see they came down in price I may grab another.

Yes the g30lp is smaller by a bit and a smaller battery. Range on the g30lp should still be good for college. If u can swing the g30p it’s really a solid choice. Size of rider matters as well I had to get that model I am 6’2” the little ones don’t work for me. Oh also the charging is a little different I believe the g30lp uses a brick charger while the g30p can use either a brick charger or the built in charger via cable. It’s the one I prefer. I have 6k miles on this scooter and only have had to do maintenance, replace a tire a fender and a throttle. It’s been very good, rides well even in weather. Hope this helped good luck with ur purchase and congrats on the college acceptance.

Yes both height and weight play into it and the smaller ones don’t feel as steady being larger. The g30p is almost to small the newer versions like the g2 and g3 r a wee bit larger but of course like 1k price tag oof. The g30p tho just fits for me at 6’ 2” 220lbs. Gonna cost a wee more for the g30p but that’s ok. Look at the G2 tho price may be similar rn idk haven’t looked in a bit.

You are not getting any quality scooter that can do 30mph for $600 and under. You can get 18 to 22 mph for this price which should still be fine for what you are asking. Ninebot g30p max is usually $550 and is built by Segway. 19 mph. Good choice. If you go to $700 the Segway g2 is a solid choice.

With that budget id get a ninebot g30 honestly.

That was my 1st scooter, I wouldn't recommend it if OP lives somewhere with poor roads. My town has bumpy and pothole filled ones. And if I went more than 5 miles on certain roads, my arms would be numb and I'd feel sore. The lack of suspension was a big negative for me. Also, I got 2 flats, changing the tire was one of the worst experiences I remember. So bad that when I got the 2nd flat, instead of fixing it I just sold the scooter lol. Although this might be similar for all lower priced scooters.

Just looked at Amazon, the Segway g30p is $449. Its a tank of a scooter. Built to last, and rarely has issues. Its not a scooter thats built for speed but to get you from point A to point B.

Not really in terms of snow, but I found the ninebot g30p very reliable in the rain

If you're considering the F3, also consider the g3, at least it was a black friday sales for $999. But with that said, the g30p, while I think the most reliable of them, will travel in pretty much any weather, it does lack in power. Meaning, if I'm going up a hill, even an insanely small hill, it drops quickly to like 9mph. So also bear that in mind.

Segway ninebot g30p. Not the fastest but extremely well built, great in the rain. You just don't problems with this scooter

unsure on that front, but I'm about 230lb also and have had zero issues with it other than 1 flat tire in 2yrs. Real world range is around 15-20miles at pretty much max speeds

Amazon has ot for $499. I've seen it there for $449 too

Got my max g30p used from r3new on eBay. A little over 300 with shipping. Got it in under a week. Came with a 1 year warranty. Used Klarna so I didn’t blow my budget for the month. My commute originally 4.5 miles is now down to 3.6 after experimenting with my route. I’ve put 90 miles on it in 30 days. Some of these miles are joy rides also. No issues so far.

Personally if just for street use and you’re not thinking of going over 30mphs. I would suggest Segway Max G30P. I have couple scooters and electric bikes and think Segway is amazing. Used it mostly in city. Very reliable , never had a problem with it. Tires are very reliable , had few nails go in from riding around lake shore dr, didn’t even need to fix the tires because it has self sealing future. Used it off road on grass , dirt. Even rain. Last about 30-40 miles. Easy to pack and carry(FITS IN ANY TRUNK). Owned it now for over 5 years , even bought exact same one for my SO so we could ride together because how much we liked it. Emergency wise it can also easily ride 2 people at same time. Also very smooth ride compared to other scooters. ONE OF THE SMOOTHEST. Never feel bumps But do your research , maybe price wise you can find something different to your liking. Good luck.

Honestly the G30P is like the Honda Civic of escooters - boring but it just works and parts are everywhere. That $200 difference might save you way more headaches down the road, especially after your NIU experience

Damn, that’s a beast. I got a used G30P that gives me the range I need, though flashy it is not.

I bought the F3 and send it back when I realized their range was greatly exaggerated in real life. The F3 gives me a range of about 22 miles on Sport mode, whereas the G30P gives me about 28. Paying premium for less range was a deal breaker for me, where as the lack of torque would be a deal breaker for others.

The G2 has a much better real life range. I bought an F3 yesterday and cancelled the order when I realized real world range was 18-22 miles on sport mode. My current G30P gives me 25-28 on sports mode currently. If you care about motor power and comfort F3 is good. But if you care about range as I do, an F3 feel like a downgrade.

I have the G30P and the G2 and highly recommend both. But if you are on the market for a good scooter I highly recommend the G2. My G30P gives me about 26-28 miles at full speed, and my G2 gives me 24-26 miles at full speed. However, the G2 goes 22 mph instead of 18. The weight can be annoying from time to time but it feels like such a big step up compared to the G30P. I love my G30P and want to keep it due to how portable it is (for buses and work) but it honestly feels like a toy compared to the G2.

You can find G2s on eBay regularly with a couple of miles under its belt, you just have to reach a couple of times per week. I got my G30P for $420 on Amazon (used, had 20 miles and I used credit card points to pay for half of it. Actually cost me $205) and my G2 for $315 on eBay with .01 miles).

If you live somewhere with very good roads, the perfect scooter for you is the Segway G30P. The Segway G2 Max is a slightly more modern version of it, but its range will be just a little shirtier since it’s a little heavier and has a more powerful motor.

I would agree with that assessment, go for tbe g30p. The Segway are pretty overbuilt, theyre reliable and you can even mod them for more speed.

been using my segway gp30p max for 3 years. 0 maintenance besides adding air into the tires every 2 months. i commute 3x a week, around 6 miles of riding per day. charge once a week. its durable i literally am not careful with it at all when handling it.
