My Ninebot Max G3 Review From A Big Guy

  • Battery & Range+1 pts

    Did 10.2 miles round trip ending at 49% battery.

  • Speed, Power & Hills+1 pts

    I'll add that I got similar results riding in traffic with moderate hills at about 260 lbs payload, I'm about a foot shorter though. Plus boost was off. This fixed my acceleration issues with the G2 for uphill starts. Did 10.2 miles round trip ending at 49% battery. I'm really excited about this upgrade.

    you’ll get 25 real miles out of a charge but you’ll start to lose speed after about mile 15

    Getting 22 miles at 20 mph with your size and weight is actually pretty good.

Zeal Of The Recently Converted And Ninebot Max G3

  • Battery & Range+1 pts

    it charges plenty fast

  • Brakes & Lights+1 pts

    Cable discs are A+ for serviceability, (although the tiny rotors look terrifying, there's plenty of stopping power)

  • Handling, Terrain & Tires-1 pts

    The steering is a little sketchy compared to a bike, but only a little bit

  • Comfort, Fit & Noise+1 pts

    It's so quiet, and so peaceful to ride

  • Portability & Folding+1 pts

    It's heavy but there's a lot of thought put into the design. Compact, easy to carry given the size.

    Pretty great app support

    Unfortunately it appears as though the battery does not work. Yet another disappointment from @segway They lie about their scooter's range and can't even get the extended battery right...

My Ninebot Max G3 Review From A Big Guy

  • Battery & Range0 pts

    I got a total of 22 miles before reaching 10%. Not great, but more than I need.

  • Maintenance, Support & Value+1 pts

    The cost and availability of repair parts are among the reasons I chose the Segway brand.

    Battery life seems roughly the same as the G2 Max, maybe slightly weaker.

  • Speed, Power & Hills+1 pts

    Hill climbs that the G2 did at 15 km/h, the G3 takes at 25 to 30 easily.

  • Handling, Terrain & Tires+1 pts

    Compared to the G2 Max, the G3 feels more stable

  • Comfort, Fit & Noise-1 pts

    After about a month of use I noticed a few small noises, mostly around the folding system cables.

  • Design & Looks+1 pts

    the underglow lights look great.

  • App, Display & Security+1 pts

    everything worked perfectly: underglow lights, cruise control, higher speed unlocked.

  • Maintenance, Support & Value+1 pts

    they sent me everything for free from Germany via DHL in one week. Big thumbs up for Segway support

    Key pros include its 28 mph top speed, good torque in boost mode, and decent range, but the reviewer criticizes that boost mode is impractical for continuous use as it must be re-engaged after stopping. The reviewer notes the G3's range is slightly less than the comparably priced VX2 hub

    Thanks for the review. I agree with your points. I wanted a scooter that didn’t weigh more than about 60 pounds yet still went about 30 mph and the G3 fits the bill perfectly! I sometimes need to bring mine up flights of stairs or in the car and coming from a scooter that weighs something like 90 pounds. The G3 is a lot more easy to deal with.
