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.
Segway g30lp $299 on eBay. I bought one last year and it’s solid. [here](https://ebay.us/m/leruJK)
Go to Walmart.com and pick up a refurbished Segway g30lp. I did this almost a year ago. And I have yet to find a hill it can’t climb.

I bought a refurbished Segway g30lp from Walmart last year. They were selling for $250 at the time. It’s my first scooter and it’s a solid, well built machine. If it does ever break. Parts for these are abundant, and easily swapped out.
I got my Segway g30lp for 300 off of marketplace and I’m pretty happy with it. Gets you up the hill at a decent speed which I feel is a must, and is a durable build which should last a few years at least. Definitely need a good lock though, my roommate caught someone cutting through his lol
I’m surprised a 500w couldn’t do it, I seem to remember going around 9 mph up the steepest part of the Hill right after the crosswalk. G30lp only has 350w and I’ve never had to kick it up any roads, although I’m a little lighter at 150lbs. According to Segway it can handle up to 20% incline which is quite steep
Buy a preowner ninebot G30 max or a G30lp max. App controlled so you can adjust speed. Has remote lock and is something he can grow into. Plus its very reliable
Hello buy a segway NINEBOT max. They are affordable and have been around for a while. So really proven. I have the g30lp its not the fastest but its like the iphone of scooter. User friendly. And has an app so you can lock it and track it and even control the speed as a parent

That's actually been my take as well. I have 2 Segway G30LPs and an eMove Cruiser S, and I have always said the Segway ones are my Apple scooters - sleek and functional out of the box but not expecting you to change or maintain anything - and the eMove is linux because it's so modular 😂
I just got the Max G3 for $1049 — bestbuy had it so the return policy is 60 days… I have a G30LP I got in 2020 but it’s in its last legs I think… I wanted the G30P and they had it on sale Saturday for $549 but by midnight it was up to $800, so I figured for an extra $250 I should just get the better one.
