Segway - Ninebot Max G3

I ordered from Apollo 10 days ago and they have taken my funds and ghosted me so I recommend that you stay away from them. I got frustrated and went to BestBuy and purchased the Segway Max G3 and am happy with it so far. (new owner of 4 days) Fast charging and good distance for my weight (lets just say over 200lbs). I average 35 to 40km round trips and have some battery to spare.

Don’t listen to these people who say Segway isn’t the best, because all they care about is top speed. Segway has the best build quality to price ratio and they are the largest company for a reason. For the price the max G3 is the best. If all you care about is speed then sure you can find faster for the price. But good luck after a few years.

From a G3 owner I'm genuinely curious why so? I haven't rode the ZT3

G3 max is good as well but too heavy for me. 45kmh is not doable with the f3 pro but personally for me I feel not to safe over 30kmh https://escooter.blog/ninebot-segway/ninbot-f3-tuning-ohne-chip-fuer-die-ganze-f-serie/ https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005009381534604.html?_randl_currency=EUR&_randl_shipto=DE&src=google&pdp_npi=4%40dis!EUR!77.98!47.57!!!!!%40!12000051687609683!ppc!!!&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=272-267-0231&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=726717691648&ds_e_matchtype=search&ds_e_device=m&ds_e_network=g&ds_e_product_group_id=296303633664&ds_e_product_id=de1005009381534604&ds_e_product_merchant_id=691614764&ds_e_product_country=DE&ds_e_product_language=de&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=22054759359&albag=172828878419&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22054759359&gbraid=0AAAAAoukdWMxBY_Cbl_J1uIBnbxPrF8xB&gclid=Cj0KCQiA5abIBhCaARIsAM3-zFUNftQWG-LYsrFkBbKV0fiwkHu0huVef27mNiokm1I50g24IpOtiPgaAlqwEALw_wcB You’ll need the f3d edition !

Go all out. I got my Max g3 and in a week got my nami burn e2 max. I love both of them

I have the max G3, which is definitely more serious, but I can tell you if the build quality on Segway is top notch. At this price point the range it is going to be limited as well as the speed, but probably a perfect one for what you want

Segways have a reputation for being built "like tanks". A lot of smart people spend a lot of time designing, developing, and testing scooters. My ES1 is only "broken" because I stripped a bolt and can't remove the handlebars from the stem (to replace the brake throttle that was the only part that was damaged from a hard crash). I prefer the rear drive of the G30 and the Max G3 over the front drive of that scooter though, so I have little incentive to actually finish fixing it (aside as a hobby)

lmao. I've been riding e-scooters since I was a kid. Cope harder. Like I said, your scooter is probably super reliable. I'm glad for you for being able to go 60mph off road or whatever. This doesn't need to be a circlejerk where you shit on a different brand than the one you prefer. A lot of different people have different needs and wants when it comes to scooters. Each person is responsible for researching all of the brands and models available to them and narrowing down to the best fit. Have you crashed your scooter? My "built like a tank" comment was literally because I've (myself, personally) had many crashes across the three generations of scooters I've had. None of my scooters are flat-out broken like I said in my original comment, I just have no incentive to work on the ES1 when the G3 is so much better in every aspect. My old scooter still works great and because I have SHFW installed, I just disabled the alarm for the break throttle being broken. They're not overrated, they're reliable. They have a warranty, and even out of warranty support still tries to help. The components are high quality. They're easy to get into and repair anything that's broken, replacement parts are not expensive and can be bought directly from the manufacturer. They're the \*only\* scooter manufacturer to have any "recalls", and those are because of user neglecting maintenance. They have safety features built in and the software is purposely conservative about max speed and power. These are things that allow me to trust the scooter will always perform as expected. I check my scooter before every ride. All of the bolts are solid and not moving. There's no creaking or weird noises. The breaks work and I trust them. There's been several cases where cars just appear and I had to break hard to not crash into them I don't need to be able to go 60mph or faster on a scooter. That's double the G3's top speed. It's not worth the significant increase of risk of death. "hurr durr skill issue, git good" - not realizing that over confidence in not crashing is the primary reason crashes happen. If I want to go faster, I have an e-bike. A cop asked me how fast my G3 goes, I told him 30; he was like "wow my skateboard does 50". My response to that was "I hope you have a motorcycle helmet and ride with armor" and that was the end of that conversation.

The G3 can climb hills where the G2 will fail. And many other improvements.

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.

If you have a Segway store near you go test-ride a G3. 6' 215 here. Ideal for me. I think it meets your criteria very well.
