Ninebot MAX Series Electric Scooter, Up to 22–28 MPH, Long Rang, Dual Suspension & Braking System, Fast Charging, Scooter for Adults, UL-2272 2271 Certified (G2/G3)

Got this for my 10yrs old. She flies around on it. The blue tooth was easy to set up and it has a built in find my scooter if stolen. It breaks down super easy for transport to the park or someplace else. The handle bars lower down and lock in place on the scooter. Charging is pretty fast and it lasted for over an hour of constant non stop riding at full speed. It’s got get up and go speed as well. It has different riding settings for beginners or seasoned persons riding and easy to change with pressing some buttons. Has turn signals and hazard lights. Excellent shocks on it as well.

This is my first E-Scooter purchase. I was in the market to buy one for a while but setbacks kept me from making the purchase. I researched tirelessly until I realized it's best for me to try and ride one for reference. So I saw Unagi has a rental service and I rented a Model One. It had dual motors for hills which I thought was necessary for hill climbing on my commute. While the scooter was decent it lacked suspension and the solid and tiny all rubber tires just made me come home with achy knees, ankles, and neck. The stem wobbled and just felt like it would eventually break. So I thought I needed a dual motor full suspension scooter which tended to be the high-speed ones that cost over $1200. I went to test drive a bunch that went over 30 MPH. They were all heavy and I knew I couldn't have something over 60 lbs and they were just too much power for me with jerky throttles. Then the G2 came out and I watched reviews and saw that this was considered a huge upgrade from the very popular G30 Max that I saw everywhere because of the suspension. So I took the plunge and ordered the G2. I absolutely love this thing. Tubeless 10" air-filled tires, check. Hydraulic suspension in the front which tends to be found on scooters way more expensive WITH dual spring adjustable suspension in the rear, check. Solid build quality with a manageable yet enjoyable commuter-friendly top-speed, check. Solid wobble-free stem at top speed, check. It has great torque and acceleration and on every hill, I've tried it on on your usual NYC streets, it handles with ease going faster than even the dual-motor Unagi at an average speed of 17 MPH. The brakes are good but I'd recommend setting the regen electrical breaks to medium to assist. I've had no high-temperature failures like some have mentioned nor any of the other programming bugs others have also mentioned. I believe the Universe made sure that I didn't purchase a scooter I'd regret buying and made sure I waited for this perfect scooter to come along. The ONLY issue is the weight since I have 6 flights of steps with my top floor apartment but the trade-off with the suspension is worth it. I have no pain in my body after riding this scooter around for even long rides. It just glides over everything. It is the absolute best way to get around NYC and I find myself not wanting to drive at all. It has transformed my Summer as I can easily explore my neighborhood and others close by with ease and comfort. The G30 Max is a legend but they say once you've had a scooter with suspension there's no going back and I can tell you for sure that is very true. Spend a bit more money (if you can) and get the G2 over the G30. Your joints will thank you, believe me. If you are over 200 lbs I'd recommend waiting until Segway fixes the issue with overheating since it seems like this happens with heavy riders since its max weight limit is 265 lbs. This is all the scooter you need for daily urban commuting with all the potholes, road cracks, uneven pavement, and hills like in NYC.

Update: I took it down to one star because even riding at at 10-12 MPH I'm lucky to get 15 miles before the battery is done. So that's only about 7.5 miles each way. Segway says 25 miles even if you're cranking it at max 22MPH. I think I overpaid by a lot for something that can't even hit 20 miles at slow speeds. The biggest problem I'm having with this scooter is that the power curve is so jerky. Trying to hold it at one speed so that the cruise control will activate is very hard, at least in part because the power seems to either be fully on or fully off. Once the cruise activates it's fine, but it takes a long time to get there. It's also just not a great experience to have the scooter jerking forward when you're holding the accelerator steady. I'm also still not finding the scooter as stable as others I've ridden. The scooter is lifted up off the ground, and the handlebars are wider than most which, for me, contributes to it feeling somewhat unstable during anything other than cruising in a straight line. I may get used to it but right now it feels a little bit like a design problem. I've done some reading, and the jerkiness is a common complaint with Segway Ninebots. Can it be fixed someday with firmware? It seems like it should be possible, but they haven't done so yet. Find My was a little finicky at first but seems stable now and reports its location which is nice should the scooter every be stolen. On the upside it was easy to assemble, just a few screws, and the build quality at least at a surface level looks good. Be aware that the screws can come loose, 5 of the 6 screws loosened up on me to the point that the handlebar was rattling. The included allen wrench is OK but is cheap metal that doesn't let you torque the screws down hard. The suspension definitely is an upgrade from my last scooter that had no suspension (and solid tires). I do like the fact that eco mode can get you 40 miles out of the battery, but you do have to be going 10 MPH on level ground to get that much distance. In sport + (must be activated in the app) the scooter can hit 22 MPH which feels very fast and chews up the battery much faster. Overall I actually like the scooter, but they really need to fix the jerkiness issue when not cruising. It ruins the experience. Also, a better allen wrench is pretty important given you don't want those screws loosening up on you.

I've owned both Max G1 and G2 before purchasing this, and am super happy with upgrading to G3. The G3 doesn't only have the premium look and build quality, but also has ticked almost all the boxes I've wished for an ideal e-scooter at this price point. What I'm most satisfied with is the top speed, which was even scarily fast initially. But once getting used to it, it's enjoyable when riding on roads with little traffic. The front and rear mechanical disc brakes offer sufficient amount of force to stop this beast with the increased top speed. I was at the beginning skeptical and worried if I might have to upgrade them to hydraulic ones; however, once they've bedded in, I'd to admit they're more than enough. One minor complaint about the brakes is the factory setup is front brake on the right and rear one on the left, which is the opposite of that of bikes. I had to swap them the moment I realized that (attached a video on how it was done). I do hope Segway can change that in US so that customers don't have to deal with the hassle. Other features I enjoy are: the daytime running light for added safety, the upgraded smart display which supports navigation (I've used phone navigation in the freezing winter days and the phone battery just dropped super fast), the mode switch mounted on the handlebar without moving the hand. The range however is noticeably much shorter, especially when riding in Sport mode and frequently hitting the 28MPH top speed. Fortunately Segway will release an external battery soon to solve this issue, which I do feel is a good solution, as I can mount it only when I need more range and keep the scooter lightweight when I don't. There're posts on Reddit that shows the GT3 battery actually can fit into G3, which is has 50% more capacity. However, I'm worried if there'd be fire hazard when charging and decide to pass on it. Overall, G3 is an outstanding scooter at this price point, if the range is not an issue for you.

Top build quality, but rides stiffer than MAX G2 (but sportier!), and mediocre battery life is Sport mode can only be fixed when they release the external battery later this year (lighter riders will have less issue) . Bars also "seem" low for a taller rider, but you can get used to it. If you've never ridden a scooter with taller bars this might not be noticeable for you anyway; wish they would release a bar riser for this scooter. They also need to fix the throttle touchiness with a future firmware upgrade (hard to maintain a steady speed slower than maximum, without feathering it constantly). I do feel this scooter should have been a 30mph scooter, but 28mph is way better than the MAX G2's 22mph AND THE POWER DIFFERENCE IS WAY DIFFERENT (and climbs hills & accelerates way better). But the older MAX G2 may go slightly farther on a charge under the same conditions vs this MAX G3, but the 48v is still better than 36v. Also, the disc brakes need to break in, so they won't work their best immediately out of the box; just go easy until you get a few miles on it. If you catch the new F3 or F3 Pro on sale, and commute mainly on sidewalks/campus, I think it rides better under casual riding than the G3, and you could save some money and be more portable too. The G3 is crossing over into sport scooter category, so I think you need to want the extra power/speed to justify it over the F3. G3 is better on hills/wind and for heavier riders (I got G3 for me and F3 for the wife). It would be hard to be un-happy with such a nice scooter in general though. I "want" to give 5 stars, but as much as I'm impressed with the leap forward of the Segway 3-series scooters and this one in particular, (I own multiple other Segway variants), I have to leave off one star because of the things I've mentioned. This scooter priced under 1k is still a good deal for its tech/performance; especially once you can add the external battery. For anyone upgrading from something much cheaper, OR if this is your first scooter, I think you'll like it enough for 5 stars as long as you get one without any defects (which I did so far thankfully).

We’ve had this scooter for a few weeks now and I must say I’m thoroughly impressed. It’s comfortable. It has a very wide base. Nice features like blinkers and brake lights. It’s fast. The app is a breeze to setup and use.

First off this scooter is amazing! Besides this thing being built like a tank and rather large, this scooter is a great adult model. Having owned the Segway ES3 Plus and G30, this new version improves on everything. It is super smooth with the combo of shocks and large air tires. I’m 210 lbs and this thing has no issues climbing hills that the previous scooters had issues with. Boost mode is so fast it is terrifying. I like that you can record different audio clips to play through the speaker such as “On your left” or a horn honking. The bell is kinda weak but it is better than freaking people out on the walking paths. Light is super bright and legendary. Can’t say enough positive things about this thing. Well done Segway! Like the small charger cable yet super fast charging and the display the gives you the remaining time to charge. App well thought out. Now two my only two complaints. 1.) Wish I could set the middle speed most to 18 or 20 mph 2.) Wish it had a horn for the road or a setting to use for the streets (vs bike path). Obviously your distance will be reduced the more you weigh, but you can still easily get 16 miles of range which is all I need. One thing I found odd was the tire said max load 220lbs, but maybe that is only for 1 tire and with two you can hold more? This thing is super well built and could easily hold more weight.

Original review: (1month 100 mile update below..... AND a bonus 531+ review below that!) Just got my scooter today (4/1/2025). I'm 260 lbs with full gear on on this scooter and I took it for a max distance test (once it was charged to 100%). I kept it at the full 28 MPH on a bike trail (all paved road) that was a 14 mile round trip. I ended my ride with 5% battery left. I kept the throttle pushed down the entire ride and it stayed strong until I got below 20%. Around there my speed started to drop. Once I got under 10% my max speed was around 10-11 mph. By the time I got home with <5% My max speed was about 7 MPH. I will say though the app is and instruction manual is riddled with minor spelling and grammar mistakes... I don't think they had a native english speaker go over any of the material or the app itself. The new rider video the app makes you watch is TERRIBLE. The instructions fly by in the blink of an eye so you have no clue what they are trying to show you. Next I think the scooter isn't fully tuned software wise yet. I actually think my old Niu KQI3 pro rides better (better throttle response, regen breaking etc) which are all things the segway can fix in updates later. I'm definitely still satisfied though - I felt very safe and stable on this much faster scooter than I do on my Niu. I got easily more range and waaaaay more power. This is the perfect commuter and I can't wait for the extended battery to come out in July. UPDATE 4/26/25 (and there's a 531+ mile review below this!!!) This is a 100 mile update. The scooter is still fantastic and I feel very safe on it already I've hit pot holes at 28 mph that I'm sure would have taken me out on a lesser scooter without suspension but this is able to handle them. 10/10 I will buy another one of anything happens to this scooter. You literally can't beat this for the price it's impossible. I constantly get 15 miles of range with 240+ lbs (lost about 20 lbs go me) at max speed on this thing which gets me to work faster than if I drove a car. It's hilarious to me zooming 28 mph over speed bumps that care have to take at 10-15 mph and I barley even feel the bump meanwhile if a car tries to keep up with me they are bottoming out their car. Earlier in my review I mentioned how this thing kind of feels untuned because the throttle didn't really feel as responsive as my old scooter but I figured out it was the traction control which on my opinion kind of sucks. Any bump you hit pot uneven road the throttle significantly slows down for a second then when you hit flat ground again it kicks back on... It really makes for an inconsistent ride so I turned it off and wow it feels so much better. Please wear safety gear on this thing - I wear a full riding jacket with armor padding, gloves, and a highly rated full helmet that covers the face. Protect yourselves out there. 530+ mile review update and last update. 6/12/25: I've been using this as my daily commuter for work and groceries since it launched (I preordered). This has been absolutely perfect for all my needs. I can easily hang 20+ lbs of groceries, and I've even transported a full size bicycle balanced on the stem for 15 miles. Speaking of range, as. 230+ lb adult man I've loaded well over 300 total lbs on this and in my personal experience I've still always been able to get a minimum of 15 miles of range (no extended battery, that's not been released yet). I always ride in sport mode and hold the throttle down at all times. I do use Regen braking some times ... But honestly I'm usually trying to go fast so I'll use the hand braking more often than not - it's possible I could get maybe 1 more miles of range if I used Regen braking more but I prefer going full speed and doing faster stops with hand brakes. My normal commute to work is 9.1 miles - due to red lights/stop signs, highway/rush hour traffic in My car it takes between 22-40 minutes to get to work if I start the timer from literally the moment I leave my door to the moment I touch the door to work (door to door). On the scooter though I ALWAYS get to work on 21 minutes regardless of what time or what day I go. Construction zones, traffic, rush hour, holidays? None of that matters I get to work on 21 minutes on the scooter! This is so friggin worth it. I also wear full gear while on this, I'm talking motorcycle helmet and jacket with gloves and a backpack to toss all the gear into when I arrive to work. The scooter is easily light enough I don't mind picking it up one handed like a brief case and it's so easy to bring the charger to work and plug it in where ever you can. As far as grocery stores I usually just keep my gear on but hang my helmet on a handle and walk the scooter through the stores. I've never been stopped in a grocery store about the scooter and I just use the pre-installed hook on the scooter to hang groceries and while shopping I use the scooter itself as my cart. I place groceries on the deck of the scooter while I shop. So yeah - I think given that it's been 2 months and 500 miles I'll probably do around 3000 miles/year on this scooter. Saving 3000 miles worth of gas and wear/tear on my car. I'll also save approximately 10-20 minutes on every commute to and from work per day so for me and my use case I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and I think the 900 has already paid for itself or is at least on the way to paint for it self within the year. As for my experience over the 500 Miles, I've had two near misses, one was my fault taking a turn too wide and another was from another driver just not paying attention, but in either case I will say this scooter can brake SOOOOO fast with its dual hydrologic disk brakes you can easily literally lock up your wheels and come to a fast stop. The accident that would have been the other drivers fault was an Amazon truck which blew a stop sign ( probably woulda been a nice insurance pay out to me...) but I care about my body and integrity lol so yeah I came to a full stop and just gave them the look of shame and moved on - this scooter is super safe compared to the cheap stuff out there- and the suspension is like literally live saving.... The bumps and pot holes of Portland Oregon would easily have taken me out on a lesser scooter but this has always kept me safe and rolling even when I hit them at the full 28 mph. Please be safe out there and wear gear - get a FULL helmet with good safety standards and tests, you only have one life.
