For anyone who doesnt know much about tire pressure, read ahead (and vote up if it was useful): The "perfect" amount of inflation for tubeless tires is sort of a myth - theres an acceptable range for proper use, and its a lot wider than most people think. Lower air pressure will typically give you slightly better grip and a smoother ride. In some cases, it might reduce the chance of popping as well. High pressure will give you better efficiency (aka range) and potentially "tighter handling" though this is more for cars. Its also more likely to seal better so you dont lose air pressure as quickly, and more likely to prevent excess heat from the tire flexing as you ride. The amount they suggest is a general "sweet spot" for most cases. Its not magic! Like the video suggests, i think most people are looking to get the most range possible - keeping the pressure high reduces the friction. My main suggestion would be not to be too worried about the last few PSI - a little over or under inflated isnt a huge deal. As long as its less than the tire max (which is a lot more than what it says anyways), youll be fine!
I came here because it really isn't that easy. I've been using the exact method suggested here and the one thing you've failed to cover is the amount of air lost during the dreadfully slow removal procedure.
I've tried using a valve extender, but it tightens the connection with the Segway extender too much locking the two together. Tried a valve extender at either end of the Segway adaptor without success, might have to try that again with minor changes to check I'm not doing something wrong there. Gone with pumping 5psi more in than the max (assuming at least that much is lost, making it not overinflated). Tightening the Segway adaptor to the minimum required, seems to help find the sweet spot, where it's easy to remove and doesn't lose too much air.
You can always pverpressurize it an extra 5-10, then using a manual gauge (the ones you can get at gas stations for your car), take a reading and let out air until it's exactly what you want.
Tightening the Segway adaptor to the minimum required, seems to help find the sweet spot, where it's loose enough to easily remove and doesn't lose too much air during removal. Gone with pumping 5psi more in than the max (assuming at least that much is lost, making it not overinflated). --- The adaptor they include really needs a longer metal stem to turn, better yet, a valve on the end which connects to your tyre.
update: added a tiny rubber washer to the inside of the Segway adaptor (on the tyre end of it). MAJOR DIFFERENCE It pushes the tyres pin down much less + tightens up the part you turn = WAY less fiddly to use while losing practically no air when removing the adaptor. @segway ...one washer.
The manual does recommend between 32-37psi however the tires are graded for up to 55 psi. Many riders prefer to get as close to 55 psi as possible in order to maximize their range. For each rider it will be different depending on weight and personal preference. Keep in mind you will inevitably lose some tire pressure while removing your pump from the valve.
The micro stem they used made it unusable with my Campbell Hausfeld tire inflator, but getting the valve stem extension to adapt it to a standard length allowed me to use my compressor to get precisely the pressure needed. Poor design decision using the nonstandard stems and the feckless extension they provide as a workaround, which doesn't work.
@@segwayontario Of course, why didn't you discuss this in the video? This makes the 55psi recommendation make a lot more sense and the whole reason I came here is because I am losing too much air pressure during the removal procedure to the awful extension piece. They really should have put a valve in the end of it.
Seriously I was confused I thought something was wrong with my tires after detaching the pump, the tire would be flat right away. Imagine paying a thousand dollars to have an issue like this. Wow.
[Update]: After inflating my tires to 55 psi it's riding like a NEW MACHINE!!!!! *Slaps Forehead* I guess I was riding with low pressure since I got it lol! Now, it's SO STABLE......it's like I'm riding a MOPED(mine has the Max Seat) instead of a kick scooter! I am SO pleased with her now, that I named her "Maxine!" 😆 Even with no suspension (you feel the MINOR bumps) it's still pleasant to ride! Adding the correct tire pressure causes the PERFORMANCE of the MAX to INCREASE in EVERY way! Prior to the inflating....I was thinking about upgrading to the P100S.....but NOW...if I ever do upgrade...I'm thinking of the Newer Ninebot Max G2 that they sell in Europe!
I had a devil of a time getting my rear tire inflate because I would always lose air. I picked up some inexpensive valve extenders and it makes unscrewing the pump much easier as you can grab the valve easier.
Part #: NTH 901914 Tire Valve Stem Caps & Extensions from NAPA is $5.29 for a set of 4, best thing for the Ninebot micro stem. Allows you to use any air pump or compressor, like any normal valve stem. Just need one, but you get 4 in the pack. Works perfectly to resolve the frustrating length issues. Just an inch difference makes the difference between ugh and ahhh 😉
I just got one today and was having an annoying time inflating the tires. At first I didn't use the extension cable that comes with it and I was losing like 20 psi after pulling out the cable. I attached the extension cable and it decreased the amount of air lost to around maybe 5 - 10 psi. What a ridiculous experience. You would think that after paying just about a thousand dollars you would have no issue inflating the tires am I right? I'm going to have to pump it to around 40 psi tomorrow because when I detach the pump it will probably drop to around 33 psi, which is the recommended air pressure. So dumb. For a moment I thought something was wrong with the tires...
The included valve stem extension is useless as there is no valve stem pin at the male end. It is impossible to inflate the tire correctly as there is a lot of air escaping when you try to detach the extension from the tire.

But the air is lost during the unscrewing process. How is using that extender any better than the stock extension while still being attached to a pump? The stock extended when attached to a pump acts as a seal and air is only lost while unscrewing it from the tire. Wouldn’t unscrewing those extensions present the identical issue?
Thanks for your comment! The tires are graded for 55psi though Segway recommends between 32-37psi for liability purposes. That being said there are a number of different factors that will determine what tire pressure you should choose (rider weight, desired impact absorption, traction). In our experience keeping the tire pressure as close to 55psi as possible will maximize your scooter range. Ultimately the rider needs to find the tire pressure that works best for them. Your comment is a very good one - and I shouldn't have thrown out a blanket statement without breaking it down further. Have a great day!
Could someone point me to the right adapter to use? I tried to use my air compressor adapter that works for my car and bicycles, yet, it doesn't work on the G30LP. The Ninebot extender doesn't even screw/plug into my air compressor adapter either...
Yes, the manual recommends between 32-37 but you are able to go up to 55psi comfortably. Every rider will be different in terms of their tire pressure preferences.
Hi Ron, thank you for your comment. The tires are equipped to handle up to 55 psi despite what the manual says. That being said, each rider will have a different preferred tire pressure based on range, shock absorption, and traction. Just know that you will maximize your range by pumping as close to 55 psi as possible. Hope this helps!
When I tried to remove the pump adapter from the tier valve after filling the air all the air is going out and i have to fill again and while unscrewing the adapter same thing happen.
Segway-Ninebot recommends you pumping your tires up to 55 psi on MAX series scooters (G30LP/G30P/G2). If you’re unsure, always check the side of the tire, which will show you the psi rating.👍
Hi I have read the comments about the PSI and you you say it all depends on rider weight etc. I am pushing the limits as i am 210 LBS. Would you still recommend 55 psi for maximum range or would the tires blow up because of my weight?
Does anyone know if it's possible to change the E22E tyres from the ones like the Model D? The E22E uses a 9-Inch Dual Density tyres (flat-free) and the Ninebot model D uses 10-inch air tyres with inner tube. can someone give some feedback. I'll love to change if was possible. The original tyres from e22e model it's very uncomfortable, they are only good if we have a good road without holes or if you ride on a cycle track otherwise is very bad. Thanks.
Segway, is there a place to buy this adapter? I didn't see it in my packaging and need air and my regular bike pump isn't working...deflates when I detach. HELP! I've scoured your website and can't find the adapter anywhere...
Too high psi and your teeth will chatter, you will also lose braking performance and you will lose wet weather grip as the wheel have a narrower contact patch. The wheel is supposed to sag a bit when regular adult weight is on the scooter to have optimal grip, rideability and range.
I first went to the gas station pump where they had 2 pumps, 1 for cars and 1 for bikes. And It somehow worked to pump the front tire with the car pump but the back tire I couldn't pump cuz at the back tire it's more mass at the rim so it couldn't fit with the car pump, and the bike pump didn't work either. And now I checked my bike pump I have at home and it's the wrong size for the hole and the extender that I got when I bought this scooter doesn't fit on anything either! Like what other pumps are there??? Am I missing something here? Nothing about this makes sense!
Get an electric air compressor like the xiaomi one or a cheaper one. They are great. They have the extender itself and it can tell you exact air pressure.
The only advice I can really give is to over-inflate to compensate and try to unscrew the valve as quickly as possible. Especially on the rear tire, it takes some nimble fingers to get the valve off

Yep that's correct! Segway inc. recommends between 32 and 37psi, however the tires are equipped to handle up to 55psi. Some people like to have low air pressure absorb shock, while others prefer fully inflated tires to get more range. Keep in mind you'll lose some air pressure as you twist off the air valve. Happy riding!
Don’t ever get a puncture on your rear tyre, I’ve now spent upwards of $250 trying to replace mine and the damned thing keeps going flat. This scooter is a waste of $1100
How did you end up getting it fixed…bought brand new tire and mounted it but can’t get tire to seat on wheel. The air goes out between the tire lips. Any recommendations? I’ve tired so many different ways with no help.
@@garybcock7506 Why don't you bring to a shop if you don't know how to do it yourself? New tire is 30 dollars + the cost to have someone replace it for you should not be more than 60 dollars. Also, if you damaged the rim, you need to replace that as well or put some tube sealant on it top prevent air leakage. You should watch some videos on CZcams on how to replace the tire properly.
This video isn't precisely true. Reality is: with the air pipe given by Segway it is impossible to pump your tires without losing 20-30 psi. I cannot understand why do they give unusable products to costumers.
yes,it's hard. the best way is buy a bike pressure pump with a gauge inside and pump until 55-60,then use a manual manometer and push until you will get what you want 🙂
@@SuperBG78 if you have an air compressor, the absolute best way is to get an air inflator chuck with the dial pressure gauge built in, along with a tire valve extender like this czcams.com/users/shortsntQPO1co0qE?feature=share Then you can get it to exactly the pressure you want, and just pop off the quick release on the air chuck. The NAPA extender will then unscrew easily with no loss of air because it has a gasket and disengages the tire stem valve before it breaks the seal. plus the longer extension allows people with less than dainty fingers to turn it, unlike the dopey extension tube they provide with the scooter, with the tiny knurling.
@@Moccalocca100 it's something I bought from NAPA auto parts, but with a quick release chuck you won't lose any air when disconnecting the pump. You can unscrew the adapter without any air loss also.
@@segwayontario wonderful, i ordered one and the extra bit from the g30 is in a safe place 😊 Thanks alot for such a fast reply and greetings from Sweden
@xitoR I just bought online the same Xiaomi compressor and I'm currently waiting for it. How does it work? Do you still lose some PSI while unscrewing the lid? Because that's what happened to me at the gas station.
Why #%?@&$ Segway didn’t just design it to accommodate a standard bike pump I’ll never know… If you’re out and about and get a puncture that results in a slow leak, you could theoretically just pump it up with a standard, lightweight tire pump, one you could easily carry in a backpack (and should). But with proprietary BS you can’t get the nozzle ONTO that tiny little nubbin. EXTREMELY ANNOYING DESIGN. And people here are right about the air loss; probably should have thought that one through a bit more, Segway!!! 😡
Holy crap. "They" were right, dumber every generation. 1980 instruction manuals were explaining how to check valve clearance. 2022 instruction manuals tell you, don't drink the battery acid. PSI reader? lmfao! It's a pressure gauge, good grief.

Don’t ever get a puncture on your rear tyre, I’ve now spent upwards of $250 trying to replace mine and the damned thing keeps going flat. This scooter is a waste of $1100
How did you end up getting it fixed…bought brand new tire and mounted it but can’t get tire to seat on wheel. The air goes out between the tire lips. Any recommendations? I’ve tired so many different ways with no help.
@@garybcock7506 Why don't you bring to a shop if you don't know how to do it yourself? New tire is 30 dollars + the cost to have someone replace it for you should not be more than 60 dollars. Also, if you damaged the rim, you need to replace that as well or put some tube sealant on it top prevent air leakage. You should watch some videos on CZcams on how to replace the tire properly.
do you sell tire replacements?
Yes we do! You can book a service appointment on our website :)
This video isn't precisely true. Reality is: with the air pipe given by Segway it is impossible to pump your tires without losing 20-30 psi. I cannot understand why do they give unusable products to costumers.
yes,it's hard. the best way is buy a bike pressure pump with a gauge inside and pump until 55-60,then use a manual manometer and push until you will get what you want 🙂
@@SuperBG78 if you have an air compressor, the absolute best way is to get an air inflator chuck with the dial pressure gauge built in, along with a tire valve extender like this czcams.com/users/shortsntQPO1co0qE?feature=share
Then you can get it to exactly the pressure you want, and just pop off the quick release on the air chuck.
The NAPA extender will then unscrew easily with no loss of air because it has a gasket and disengages the tire stem valve before it breaks the seal.
plus the longer extension allows people with less than dainty fingers to turn it, unlike the dopey extension tube they provide with the scooter, with the tiny knurling.
@@dubmob151 So you say with this small valve thing you selling i wont have lose of air?
@@Moccalocca100 it's something I bought from NAPA auto parts, but with a quick release chuck you won't lose any air when disconnecting the pump. You can unscrew the adapter without any air loss also.
@@dubmob151 How does it work. Do i need to place the adapter on the tire wheel first?
I bought a g30 today and Im looking into buying xiaomi portable Compressor, will they work together?
Great video btw, the scooter is still unpacked 😊
Thanks for your comment! Yes the Xiaomi compressor will work like a charm. You will still need the adapter that comes with the MAX so hang on to that
@@segwayontario wonderful, i ordered one and the extra bit from the g30 is in a safe place 😊
Thanks alot for such a fast reply and greetings from Sweden
@@xitoR Happy riding!
@@segwayontario thanks and likewise 😊
@xitoR I just bought online the same Xiaomi compressor and I'm currently waiting for it. How does it work? Do you still lose some PSI while unscrewing the lid? Because that's what happened to me at the gas station.
Why #%?@&$ Segway didn’t just design it to accommodate a standard bike pump I’ll never know… If you’re out and about and get a puncture that results in a slow leak, you could theoretically just pump it up with a standard, lightweight tire pump, one you could easily carry in a backpack (and should). But with proprietary BS you can’t get the nozzle ONTO that tiny little nubbin. EXTREMELY ANNOYING DESIGN. And people here are right about the air loss; probably should have thought that one through a bit more, Segway!!! 😡
Yes! Tell Segway-Ninebot, the manufacturer, not us! Our clients are always wondering about that as well! You aren’t the only one! 😅 - Mikey
Stupid scooters they are not easy to access the valve.
The rear valve isn’t very accessible on the MAX G30P, sadly.😬 - Mikey
Holy crap. "They" were right, dumber every generation.
1980 instruction manuals were explaining how to check valve clearance.
2022 instruction manuals tell you, don't drink the battery acid.
PSI reader? lmfao! It's a pressure gauge, good grief.
