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.
I ah e a max g30p bought new first gen $900 it has 6k miles on it. Only replaced the throttle, well a tire but that nail it got doesn’t count.
If u can invest a wee more and get either a new scoot that’s decent or a decent used scoot. My previous statement was to show just how long this investment can take you.
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.
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.
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.
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
G30p is an amazing basic scooter. Its not fast, loses a lot of power and speed going up hills. But with that said, its decent on how many miles per charge, cheap to charge. You can ride it in the rain, rarely gets flats, it just keeps going.
Side note here too about the price. That is not a sale price. Its the standard price it is now
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
