"It's still working after 19 years."
"they're pretty lightweight for what they are! ... I'm not sure it's possible for it to be any lighter than it already is whilst maintaining that level of robustness. ... Most other tents that are as strong as a Soulo weigh more than a Soulo"
"I bought the first one in 2008 and it’s still running at this very moment."

"Max G3 absolutely eats a serious slope and keeps on moving pretty quick for my commuting needs."
"Zips my 230lbs around the hills of Seattle at 20mph."
"I have one and it chugs up hills like a mountain lion and I weigh 170"

"As a commuter myself the only advice I will give is to make sure the tires are those tubeless self-sealing type, I ride 10km to work 4 times a week and with my previous tube tires I'd get punctures all the time. The Max G3 has them and the reviews are pretty good so far."
"does everything else."

"Max G3 absolutely eats a serious slope and keeps on moving pretty quick for my commuting needs."
"I own the wolf king GTR and the emove roadster and neither one has given me problems. ... I ride them daily. ... I alternate between them and I commute 35-40 miles round trip to work 5x a week."
"I've put hundreds of miles on mine and zero issues"

"Segway releases updates very often to address things (usually 1-2x month). ... there was like 5 times where they boosted the output of the scooter and motor via a firmware update. ... That's almost 50% more stock power than I paid for, which is cool haha. ... Its nice knowing they support their products for so long, and you get to enjoy useful features/tweaks that sometimes really change the scooter."
"Their newest update unlocked a ton of power and fixed some early issues."

"I canceled my preorder for 899 dollars Seagway Max G3 because I found from first owners that even 25 miles is a stretch for this models. ... It’s actually funny, but I had preorder for G3 Max but I canceled it as soon as I’ve learned that I’m unlikely going to get more than 25 miles on it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a pretty decent scooter, but it primarily for people who takes shorter trips."
"The G3's battery is a bit bigger than the G30's but the scooter is so much more powerful that range is drastically reduced."
"want something more reliable and more than 8 to 10 miles"

"G3 acceleration is gonna get cranked way up in an update. The Max G2 accelerates faster than it rn, so yeah that's not how it's supposed to be lol."
"I'm a bigger guy so the acceleration can be a little slow"

82FordEXP 1.0I 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.
A124Seven 1.0Don’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.
AaronIAM 1.0From a G3 owner I'm genuinely curious why so? I haven't rode the ZT3
ABuddyOfABear 1.0G3 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 !
Accomplished-Power39 1.0Go all out. I got my Max g3 and in a week got my nami burn e2 max. I love both of them
Agile-Hotel-7575 1.0I 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
aszhch 1.0The G3 can climb hills where the G2 will fail. And many other improvements.
Azazir 1.0Best 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.
Bertsch81 1.0If 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.
BigBowler9650 1.0Hey Same!! I take the train and then commute the rest on my scooter or sometimes will just ride the 11 miles from home to work. Definitely wanna see what you end up going with. I currently have the Segway max G3 I consider that portable and reliable, granted I’ve only been an owner of it for a little over a month. Im actually considering getting the GT3 Pro from them next, but that won’t be my portable commuter scooter, im going to use that for the days I wanna just ride directly from home to work. Good luck in your search!
