Segway 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)

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.

I know it’s only been a couple of days but I’m really thrilled with the G3. This is a substantial upgrade for me, coming from a Segway P100S. The ride quality, stability, performance, battery life, everything is vastly improved. The additional data on the display is valuable and saves me using a phone holder. It’s by no means a light shooter, it’s solid and well balanced, but I wouldn’t want to have to carry it up a flight of stairs. But got my daily commute of 2 miles each way to work it’s perfect.

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).

Calidad increíble, excelente producto bien ensamblado, velocidad muy alta, aunque existen scooters de más velocidad, 45km/h en este es más que suficiente, viene limitado a 32 km/h, pero en la app en el apartado de “Personalizar velocidad en cada modo” puedes deslizarlo en el apartado Sport+, muy muy satisfecho y ampliamente recomendado

I haven't had a chance to ride it much, as I don't want to subject it to the winter weather, but I can say from about 50 km of use that this is a fantastic scooter. I have the G2 Max (which is also a great scooter) but the G3 is a significant upgrade. The ride is incredibly stable, and the dual disc brakes are a welcome addition. I love the new TFT display and the swept back handlebars, and the larger 11 inch tires. If you can get it on sale, it's an especially great deal.

What a fast and fun scooter. Only complaint is battery life is quiet less on sport mode but thats the only mode thats fun to ride in. Other than that, it’s a great scooter. Really fun and i got it at a good price when it was on sale. Id recommend this model.

Excelente para moverse rápido en una ciudad tan complicada por el tráfico, su desplazamiento es muy bueno, los materiales del scooter son de mu buena calidad.

It was either I chose those Chinese scooters that can go hella fast for the same price if not lower, or I get something I can be confident that it'll last me a long time. Although I was starting to regret the purchase after it shipped, when it arrived, I think my regrets are all gone now. Rides very nice plus it's much bigger in person and 45 km/h is sufficient I guess. It's missing a star because range is lacking quite a bit ESPECIALLY for the price. Probably so you would buy the upcoming external battery. Battery taking forever to release is probably so people would forget this scooters price and spend I'm guessing 350 dollars to get range that pretty much every other scooter in this price point gets lol.
