I weigh 175 and I've had no issues at all with my G2 and I love this Scooter and it feels fast enough. The weight of the rider must definitely make a big difference in speed. They JUST rolled out a new firmware update to help with overheating and also to shut off regen. I had regen on weak for awhile then on mediumn and have felt the brakes are not as strong. IDK. SO far I have done about 60 Miles in the week that I've had it and paid $999 on Amazon for it. Also when keeping to the far right remember to pay close attention to people in their cars about to open their doors. You can set the acceleration to 0 start instead of having to kickstart.
Excellent Advice! Comment Pinned! 😎👊
it's only $540 in China
@Hansky2008 USA pricing and EU pricing are always higher. 😬
@@Hansky2008 china dollars are worth less for sure
Kilo or pounds?
This is the review I needed to see as a heavy rider. Thanks for posting.
You're very welcome! I actually did this video because there were a few people who were asking Ginger On Wheels if they would be ok to purchase this scooter being 300lbs and he never answered them back, im guessing its because he is 230lbsnso i figured, maybe I should do one and see what happens. I'm glad i did. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
It's just one bunny hop away from a permanent home in the dumpster
One of the greatest review I ever seen. Thank you
Thank you very much for the kind words, helpful in any way i can is my number 1 goal here when i made this channel. 😊👍
Thank you for the video, it is very helpful! Be safe out there!
😊🙏
I love the safety features you installed. 👍👍👍
Thank you!!!! Safety first. I just need knee pads and elbow pads that fit me right lol. 😅
this is the exact video im looking for, i love scooters and always wanted an e scooter, and i was looking at this model but was right at the weight limit at 265, thanks so much man
Right on man, thats why i made this video. 😎👊
Thank you as a heavier scooter rider myself who has been debating on getting this model this is very helpful 👍🏻
Right on. 😎👊
You know, some french people on a forum were discussing if the G2 was ok for a heavy rider and this video helped ! That's the power of internet !
Thanks for sharing !
You are very welcome. 😁🙏
Great video! Very informative.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I truly appreciate it. 🙏🙇♂️
Well done. The way reviews should be done. Wish you much success
Thank you very much. 🙇♂️🙏
Your excellent honest video made me buy this amazing scooter! Climbs hills without slowing down! It doesn't seem to matter how steep, it beats all!
😁🙏
Great review. Thank you
you are very welcome ☺🙏
I enjoyed the video and nice personality! Keep up
Thank you 😊🙏
Great video. You answered all the questions I had.
Awesome i am so glad you found this video helpful. Thank you so much for your positive feedback. I really appreciate it. 🙏🙇♂️
I really enjoyed your review. The big boy struggle is real. Keep up the fight. You'll do great.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I really appreciate it. 🙏🙇♂️
Thank you for this review ! I’m 6’5 255 now I feel good about getting this scooter
Its definitely a great scooter. If it can move someone as big as me, it can definitely perform even better with a lighter rider. 😎👊
I bet that battery gets hot? I know my 22kw muscle scooter does on warm days too. Keep on scootering.
Sounds like your having a good time and you are right about about repairs and parts. It's not easy to fix. Good Video.
😁🙏
Really great testimony. Hope Segway gives you a scooter for this. Just bought a max G2 and it is so fun to ride.
🙇♂️🙏
Love the video I will definitely get one now after watching this real review. I was a heavier person myself before, keep up the great work on the road to the championship. I lost weight by shadow boxing 20 minutes before showering, helped me and I know it will help you 👍🏻
Ill definitely try that! 😎👊
Mine is coming next week. This video gave me the confidence that I’ll be okay on the scooter being a larger guy. On another note, it was really interesting to watch this ride. It’s surreal to see Americans have so many flags around.
Im so glad you chose to get one. Yeah this is definitely an awesome scooter.
As for the flag stuff yeah depending what street you ride on, you will definitely see alot of houses with them 😅
I bought mines when it came out. Im 6 feet and weigh 215. Ride is sweet, scooter is tall enough and I have been abusing it like crazy. Still running strong with no hiccups. Thinking about getting my wife one for christmas.
i agree the max G2 is definitely a great scooter specially if you ride it on flat surfaces. it will give you very good range.
Im here for the scooter content!
Awesome, thank you for watching the video. Much appreciated. 🙇♂️🙏
Good point about the regen increasing the heat. Plus your added weight puts more energy into the battery, as your scooter would roll longer than a lighter rider's scooter under the same conditions.
Yep. Its gotten a whole lot better with master control version 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 whay ive noticed is the Torque we lost in this version, we got back plus the regen braking remains off while riding on flat roads, if you go down a steep hill you can turn regen breaking on from the app as long as your phone is connected to the scooter and you have it mounted to the handlebar for easy access, you can just tap on the screen and turn off or on while riding. Very convenient to get some trickle charging in.
Low subs. great review. Def earned a sub and like. Good job my dude
Thank you very much. It means a lot to me to have you on the channel. If you have any questions about this max G2 or the upcoming Inmotion RS i pre ordered which should be here in the first week of december, please let me know and I'll put it on video if you like. Im always open to suggestions as well specially if it will help anyone out with info. 😊👊
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 wow fantastic. Well I'm a big dude. And I'm just looking around for a good all around e scooter. I just wanna know the range and if you think it is powerful enough for small hills. Denmark is flat. But have a bit of hills. Other than that. I'm looking forward to more of your videos 👏
@thomasstorbugt6829 Cool, for the MAX G2, it can handle slight hills. It will just run a little bit slower. Like me, you will definitely want to keep your scooter in sport mode and set the max speed on the app to its max of 22mph, when you go up a slight hill it will slow down from its max 22mph speed to about 15mph depending how heavy you are and how big the hill is and once you reach a flat road it will increase the speed back to 22mph. It's a nice scooter for commuting. Im at 292 lbs right now, and with my current weight, i get 18 miles of range out of the 25 miles it claims it can do in sport mode. That is super impressive to me as a big dude.
Thank you for the realistic review
Just bought mine like 30 seconds ago!
You're very welcome. Glad you found the video helpful.
@@Mister_MasterzRN awesome! Im sure you're going to love it!
Thank you for this
You are very welcome. I noticed that there wasn't much information about these type of scooters with heavier riders so i figured i would make one and give my full experience from start to finish. 😁🙏
I'm a big guy, 300+ and looking for a scooter. This video was great, with normal commuting instead of every other channel speed-racing and off-roading. The funniest thing is that you complained about the miles vs km and f vs c degrees. It's practicality just the us and like 3 countries in the world still using miles and Fahrenheit, time to catch up with the rest of the world us. Great video, and keep it up with the weight loss. The struggle is real. It's not easy being a big guy. Nothing fits like it should, not even an electric scooter.
Right on! Thank you so much for the positive feedback. About the temp in Celcius and miles vs. kilometers, i wondered why we are the only ones still using this method, lol! 😂 and as for the weight loss, thank you, man. It's been hell, but I've been keeping up. Im finally at 298 lbs but still have a long way to go. The MAX G2 is a great scooter for commuting, and i still recommend it.
I feel we need at least 750 watts and 1 KWH battery
great review i wanted to see how the POV of the scooter is and how it handles hot weather, thanks
🙏🙇♂️
Thanks for the review and being 100kg this made it an easier choice especially with the suspension.
You're welcome, i figured if a BIG guy like me can get a decent range and really good stability and zero issues with the suspension, then any person lighter than me will have an even better experience. 😁👍
Im 136kg (300lbs) and looking at getting one of these, so thanks for the review.
You're very welcome, this is one of the reasons i made this video. 😁👍
Thanks for the informative video and greetings from Bulgaria. I am a 220 pound rider and I got 28km in S mode, in severe cold, mostly flats riding, at -9C. And +7C, I got 37 km, and at 15C, I got 45 km! Unfortunately, due to EU laws, I got the version that is limited to 25 km/h. Your video gave me insight on what range to expect, if I buy the US controller.
Excellent im glad my video was helpful. 😁🙏 thank you so much for watching and for giving me your feedback.
Thank you for the perspective I definitely wonder what bikes actually meet the weight limits they say
🙇♂️🙏
I am really hoping to get this one for Christmas!
I hope so too. You will definitely have fun riding the MAX G2
I have a ninebot max g30 and have had no problems with it. But there's that need for speed and I want to upgrade to a scooter that at full exceleleration my feet are parallel with my shoulders. Hang on tight don't let go watch out for livestock.
Great scooter and glad it comes with shocks. I had the previous Max and that was my main reason on getting rid of it and upgrade to the Segway P100S. To tell you the truth, I would have purchase this G2 if it came out first. I love my P100S but I don't see myself going 30 MPH on a scooter. I've never unlocked the ultimate spots mode on my scooter. Thanks for the link for the headlight. I ended up purchasing two for my e-bike and scooter.
Sweet! Yeah the max G2 is a pretty nice scooter man i like it alot. I got into an accident with it and only the handlebar bent and the kickstand broke but the rest of the scooter stayed solid. So i got a GT1 to use while i wait for parts to be available for the Max G2. Glad you got the headlights. They are extremely bright and ive only had to use setting number 1 out of the 4 settings it has.
Great review any slim guy can ride this … I’m getting mine in two weeks I been stuck between this and the Apollo city pro
Right on! Yea i belive any slim guy would get at least double the range i got. This scooter is very impressive and did the video as i seen alot of people doing videos on overheating i figured i would do the same and demonstrate what it does when the scooter gives the HI temp warning on the scooter display. 😅
Thanks for the review. I weigh 145 lbs and was not going to buy one because of the overheating issues. Doesn't look like an issue.
Indeed, i made the video in response to Ginger On Wheels who made a video in the MAX G2 using it at 22Mph in sport mode and overheated in him. The way i see it is, if someone as big as me can get this much range without it overheating till almost 53C then anyone that is way slimmer than me should have a blast with this commuter scooter. 😎👊
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 I love the G2. With temps at 15C my motor and battery get up to 27C. Overheating is not an issue for me.
I noticed that too about my bayteries that I made. They like short rests. I mainly use a 1.2 KWH 52v battery and can go so far with it, 28mph for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Thats Awesome! 28Mph is pretty fast specially standing. 😎👊
I live by new and valley lol near you I got the G30 max and I want it to get the P100s but worry about the weight.
Hi, guys the Links to all the accessories i have on my Max G2 have been added to the description.
Bike lanes and side walks for me. I live in a city with hills (speed never enough to keep up with traffic), debris on road (windiest city on the planet) and just poor road maintenance (pot holes). Never have to worry about temps of the scooter as i live in a temperate climate. Excellent scooter.
It is indeed a great scooter for commuting. Thank you for commenting, i like seeing other rider's point of view. 😎👊
Thanks so much for this review and your effort! It confirmed that i made a good choice for my wife. I got her one today so we can ride together. I ride EUC and once u do, u never go back! 😂😂😂 Peace, stay safe!
Awesome! I hope she has fun with it. I've been trying to convince my wife to ride with me too, but she doesn't want to. 😅
I had the MAX G2 and loved every part of it, but was so, so sad that they didn't increase the battery to 48V. It's so disappointing it loses speed and performance when the battery drops from 50% otherwise it would be absolutely perfect in every way. I've now gone back to the Inokim OX Super which is a 60V scooter.
Fantastic review though buddy, it just shows this scooter is for everyone and is a near perfect commuter, regardless of the 36V battery.
I would still recommend it to anyone, without a doubt. It's a very, very reliable scooter.
😁👊
A great demo ride.
Thank you Saul, i greatly appreciated the positive feedback. 🙇♂️🙏
Hey u drive the scooter very well!!..we are not too far, i live in el monte!!👍👍👍
Thank you very much for this beautiful video. I also ordered one of the mirrors, but I noticed that you used a separate fastener. Can you give information about the part you used to fix that mirror?
Hi, thank you so much for the positive feedback. The mirrors were attached to the handlebar of the MAX G2 with the stock mirror hardware. The only other thing i had around the mirrors was the cable for the Alarm/Motorcycle grade horn combo button. The other products installed was the 2600 Lumen LED Headlight and the official Segway branded phone mount. 😅🙏
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 Thank you very much for your quick reply. So you connected it directly to the handlebar with the connection inside the mirror, thank you very much.
Great job on the info regarding this Segway. I believe you said that you bought it at BEST buys. Does the store also warranty it for a few years? And what about repairs?
Thanks again brother, you’ve got a great channel.
Greetings from Riverside! Good Bless you , this is Alan
Hi Alan, Yep, i bought mine at bestbuy. I pre ordered it online and picked it up at my local bestbuy at Atwater village which is the City of Glendale store. I dont recall getting offered a warranty for the scooter but i didnt have enough to pay for that extra service. As for repairs from bestbuy, i have only had minor experience with an AV receiver that was having HDMI connection problems and they refused to replace it for a while till i had to make threats to sue them on their warranty repair process. The manager at the same store eventually allowed me to replace the receiver for a newer unit and pay the small difference with a warranty purchase as a requirement. So i apologize for not having a proper answer for you when it comes to the MAX G2 warranty through bestbuy. 🙇♂️🙏
You have to treat every vehicle like they don't see you. So many of them at cross walks will just come out and go when it's green for you. Especially when a truck is in the middle lane creeping blocking view of you. I always go slow and wide even when they see me. Then the pedestrians with headphones will never hear the beep so you have slam on your brakes and go around them somehow. I hate my town to many places with no bike lanes and crappy sidewalks. Stay safe.
Absolutely! I knew i wasnt the only one experiencing that. 😁🙏
Thoughtful & thorough review with pro tips and all. This scooter is on top of my list as well as the segway p100. I like the better specs on the p100 but I do like the subtle & modest look on the Max G2. What are your thoughts given a few more weeks on the max G2?
Very good question, im going to be answering that in the next video im making in the next day or two. There are some small issues i came across with the new master control firmware update V1.4.8 that i gotta bring up which may change people's decision on buying the MAX G2 and just pay a bit more and go for the P100S instead. I will get to work on it tomorrow since is labor day and i dont work that day. 😎👍
thanks for such a comprehensive and realistic review! im seriously considering the g2 and wondering if you would recommend buying an extended warranty and if so any suggestions as to what company would offer the best coverage? also, any idea what a replacement battery would cost if the battery dies?
Thank you so much for the feedback, as for a good dealer offering an extended warranty im not sure who would give the best experience when dealing with extended warranty work or replacement. As for the battery, considering that the previous model G30 has the battery for $349.00 USD ot may possibly cost around $400.00 USD the battery sometimes cost about 30 to 40% of the whole scooter. 😬 but many people had their G30 previous model scooter for 3 years using the same battery and still getting 80% of their original range. So im sure the battery will last for many Years.
Yeah , I highly recommend a service plan . Modern stuff has so many electronic parts that can fail. I have relatives tell me about a brand new stove, Washer, and fridge that had issues in their first year .
I still use a fridge from 1985 . it just has rust bubblez.
My old 1990 Civic only needed oil changes and tires. Then I got a 2020 versa , after 2 years the computer had to be programmed. Then the radio and dash lost power.
You can buy commercial appliances and classic vehicles , if built right they can be lower maintenance than the new stuff but they will consume more energy .
Ultimately you have to choose whether you want reliability or lower energy cost but with higher chance of failure.
Another thing you can do is get a new car that's popular and has port injection , there will be plenty of replacement parts at good prices when you need them.
Look at the cars that are popular with fleets. Tacoma, Tahoe, Ram .
You can also do a bit of research. I was so close to getting a buick Lacrosse but then I saw stuff online talking about the major transmission issues, then I looked at Mini and people spoke about electrical issues.
I think the Camry V6 is a great choice, it shares parts with Lexus ES. I would skip any hybrid version unless you live in areas with high fuel cost just remember it's going to be more maintenance.
The same goes for AWD models , unless your area has snowy and Icy winters That's just another maintenance cost.
Your way over the specs for that scooter, or for that matter any bike. Good video.
Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you for watching. 🙏
thx for the video! do you still recommend the G2 today? How's yours holding up?
Hi, i definitely still do. Its a wonderful scooter. However if you can afford to pay a Bit more the Apollo Go is another scooter that would be a worthy opponent for the MAX G2 when it comes to performance. Mine at the moment is out of commission due to an accident i had on it. I need a new handlebar as i bent mine pretty badly and waiting for segway to eventually start offering the handlebar for purchase so i can ride it again. 😎👊
Great Video , You can Adjust the start speed to 0 under more functions menu , so you don't need to kick to start . Can you please add link to accessories on future videos ?
Absolutely! I actually do have the Start Speed at zero but because im a heavy rider i still have to kick the scooter for a faster take off. 😅
Accessories links just added to the description. 😁👍
you live in a nice place to go scootering, me i,m in montreal with snow in winter
Just to throw my experiences into the mix, male, 5'11", 330lbs. Acceleration is slow, but thats perfectly normal for this class of scooter at our weight. Top speed for me is 21.7, but if its cold out or battery is
Did you put the horn on top of the mirror? I have similar set up to you . And my acrunu light is all crooked
I used a handlebar extension for the acrunu light, and the horn button is on the handlebar grip on the left side.
Here is a link for the handlebar extension i have. It honestly works very well, and there is zero slip, meaning if you go over bumps on the road, the handlebar extension will NOT move as long as you have it tighten good. I got the 25cm version in Aluminum.

Me ha encantado el vídeo me voy a comprar G2 tal vez me podrías decir en donde puedo conseguir los espejos y la bocina te lo agradecería 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸😎😎😎😎
😎👊
The latest firmware version is 1.4.8 which is suppose to manage heating better, do you know the version you ran in this test?
Hello, yes, i mentioned it before i took the max g2 for the spin. It was master control version 1.4.4. I've been riding my Max G2 to run my normal errands under master control V1.4.8 and noticed that the torque has been reduced to the point where it's very noticeable. The speed in the MaX G2 display says its going 22Mph but on the app it says 21.7Mph and wont go any furher, on my Gopro Hero 10 GPS it also says 21Mph so i feel segway reduced to speed and the Torque to slow down overheating. I want to re do the test and record the experience, but this time, I will make the video a lot shorted and still get the results. For me, it hasnt overhrated yet, but i haven't gotten it to 40C and above yet whenever i run my errands in the city. But for sure, the Torque and MAX speed has been slowed down a bit. I would like to try out the Inmotion Climber, but i don't know where i could rent one from here in LA or if that's even possible. I've been seeing great reviews on that one, but it also has a shorter battery life than the MAX G2 and no suspension at all with tube tires for the same price. 🤔🧐
Is it possible to secure this, like to a chain to a bike stand, so you can go into a market or a store to purchase things?
You sure can it just needs to be a lock that can go around the neck of the scooter by the tire. If you use a U lock something like this will help.
Kryptonite Heavy Duty Key Lock, Black/Yellow, 4in x 8in, Anti-Theft Protection Included a.co/d/8hLv7IW
Or if using a chain type lock, maybe something like this will help.

I'm hesitating between buying a Segway PS100 and a Segway G2. but I think I'm going to buy Segway G2, the Segway PS100 is big and reminds me more of my motorcycle than a scooter. If I drive a scooter it's not because it has the bulk of a motorcycle, it's ridiculous. and above all I want to continue to enter grocery stores to make my order
Yeah i would steer away from the P100S i heard a lot of people getting broken stems after a while and the scooter no longer being operational. The MAX G2 is made very solid.
Where did you get those mirrors I've been looking for like 3 months I can't find none did you go to a motorcycle shop and get
Hi, i got them on amazon and i put the direct link to everything that is on my MAX G2 in the description. I just checked it too and it works 100%. Remember that you will have the option to select the blue tint on the mirrors or the regular silver tint like my mirrors i wanted mine to look more natural. Hope this helps. Any questions please feel free to ask.
Bro, this is a great scooter. The mukuta 10 plus has a 64 mile range it's great and powerful look it up
Hi, i seen this scooter on Tim's Electric youtube channel a month ago, it is indeed an impressive scooter, has good speed, its 3 miles faster than the Gotrax Gx3 i liked and has pretty good range with a rider up to 330lbs. And it's also priced at $2k USD like the GX3. I wish i could have tested it, but the day i went to Rider Fest, this scooter wasn't there. I bought an Inmotion RS in solid black for that street speed and range im looking for. Still the Mukata is definitely a nice looking scooter, just wish they offered a different color. Everyone that has reviewed it has the same light gray color. Thanks for the recommendation, my bro. 😎👊
@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 I just ordered it on Oct 18 and it ships to my home Monday Oct 23 the only thing I'm not crazy about is the color I'm 260 pounds so I decided on this one I'm so excited I live in newyork and can't wait to take it around the city I bought the extended battery version and got a coupon discount of 250 dollars that brought it down to 2,250 talk to you later bro 👍🏾
Salut l’ami, petite question, je fais 120 kg penses-tu qu’elle peut tenir sans problème ? Et au niveau des amortisseurs ? Merci d’avance.
Bonjour de France
Hi, not at all 120kg you are very well within the weight limit of the MAX G2. I think this will be a great Electric scooter for you. 😁👍
Can you disable the low range warning? Seems really annoying if you're trying to get home
Unfortunately no, its an annoying beep that will just keep going until you get home and charge it. I was looking for that in the segway app too but there isnt an option for that. 😬
21:09 I hate riding like that, so close to parked cars. I don't think I can handle being hit by a door opening at 20 mph
Yeah its definitely a bit on the scary side because a car door can definitely open up at random without the driver of the car noticing you are about to pass by but its part of the rules of riding scooters on the street when there are no bike lanes available. I do wish they made more though. 😅
a good solution for the cars behind you, if you can see the cars clearly in your mirror. it's to drive in the lane, more towards the center, the cars will respect you and be afraid of hitting you and when they are close to you you move to the right. I tried this technique and I'm much safer than when I stood completely to the right, it's surprising how well it works
That's really good. Im not sure where you live, but that is definitely nice of the driver to do. Were i live, they dislike slower bicycles and scooter riders doing that and will honk at you or rev their cars to get you to get off the road, lol. This is why i had installed a dashcam on my scooters as well, its just a way to protect myself from drivers incase they cause an accident and flee. Ill have what they did along with their license plates recorded to show to police when they arrive to wherever i may be sitting at waiting for them due to the accident. Ive had way too many close calls to try that. But im definitely glad it works for you. I wish drivers were that polite here.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 I'm from Montreal and I can tell you that the drivers here are not polite. I even had water thrown from a bottle in my face. here people are crazy, the worst are the young men of 30, when they see a scooter, they go crazy. If they could, they would follow me with their car onto the bike path, honking at me. at first I didn't believe in this technique, it's a cyclist who has an electric bike at my work who used this way of driving his electric bike and it works very well. It's a bit like the farmer who drives his farm equipment on the road to change land to cultivate. he blocks everyone with his presence. and this has the opposite effect, people are respectful and understand the danger of your presence on the road, you therefore represent a threat to them. what is dangerous is to leave the entire road to those who follow you by driving completely to the right, they will pass you at high speed and honk at you knowing that they are in no danger of hitting you. if you scare them by your presence far away on the road by driving in the center of the lane, they will see you as a threat to them, they will therefore hold you in a position of strength, when you drive on the right, they will see you as weak and despise you. consider that the leaders are sheep, they follow those who precede them. the trick is to stop the momentum of the first vehicle behind you and ask it to respect you, once this one has taken you into consideration all the others behind will follow it in the same way. the opposite is also true. This car serves as your protection because it stops everyone behind it. The opposite is also true, if you stay on the right for fear of the cars, all those who follow will try to intimidate you. I live in Quebec, here we are French and believe me there is nothing crazier than French people behind the wheel of a car
My dude, how’d you get it for $799.99? Was it a Black Friday kind of sale? Right now it’s at $899.99 Black Friday price, I’m not sure if I should go for it,
Ok First, i freaking LOVE your youtube name i a HUGR fan if Anime and dragonBall is one of my favorite animes. Automatic thumbs up for that 😎👍
As for the $799.99 price, it was on a pre order sale before it got released so i ended up getting it for that IndiGogo price, i got really lucky there. I think this scooter is great for its price but...... if you live around medium to large size hills you might want to look for something with more power. This scooter left me impressed, right now im 292Lbs and the scooter gives me 18 miles of range in sport mode out of the 25 miles of range it says it can do via the app. Thats only 6 miles less than what it says it can do. If a BIG guy like me can get that much range, any slimmer person could easily get even more. I honestly recommend it. I think $899.99 is a great price but like i mentioned in my video, above $999.99 there are better dual motor options specially for hill climbs. 😎👊
You indicate that in your way ther would be many slopes (climbs...) And in real we saw none.
Is it possible you test climb a hill with that Ninebot ?
In the range test ride i was going through realistic inclines, i know on the gopro it didn't look as big as it really was and that was probably due to having the the camera lens set to super view but i definitely did do inclines, if you were expecting really big ones i apologize but this scooter cant do BIG inclines i think it can only do 20 degree inclines but thats on paper with a specific weather temperature and a rider under 180lbs. In reality, it probably does a bit less than that, like maybe 15% incline?. I apologize that you feel that i didn't do slopes. I can try to find a decently sized incline and see if it can do it, but again, i am a much heavier rider, and it probably won't be able to do it with me riding it. As a commuter scooter, it does pretty well to me, but if you want to go over large inclines, this scooter definitely won't be able to do it, unfortunately at least not with me riding it. 😅 I'll look for one and do a short video on it.
Hey, maybe I'm impatient, and haven't watched far enough yet, but how'd you wire up the light like that?
I'd be interested in adding accessories to my P100S.
Hi, on the led light i just used the included brackets that came with the led light to attached it to the MAX G2. Since you have a P100S you will need this to attach a Brighter LED Light because of the design of your handle bars. Hope this helps.

@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 Ah ok, so I'm also gathering from this that they are battery powered, separately from scooter bettery?
@jkhsdjkhfjkhh3 correct, it has its own built in battery, it does take about 8 hours to charge but its pretty damn bright and really has a nice wide angle view of lighting. Its 2600 lumens so its definitely bright. I tried doing a night time video but never uploaded the video because my gopro hero 10 sucks with low lighting. It looks grainy and ita just mega crap vs daylight video lol.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 Haha yup, on my ebike I ziptied a 4000 lumen (26650 cell) flashlight to the handlebars, works perfectly.

Hi! Please tell me, where did you buy the mirrors and the horn? I'm from Moscow and I want to order too. Have you thought about installing a saddle on a scooter? I ordered from the G30 and plan to redesign the saddle platform under the G2 model
Hi, i havent thought about doing the saddle yet.
Here is the links to the mirrors and the horn. You will need to select the left snd right side individually as they are not sold in pairs due to sometimes only 1 breaking from a fall etc only one would need replacing, also you can pic the ones i got which are the silver mirror color vs the blue tint color mirrors.

As for any links to videos, i havent received any but i have no plans in modifying this scooter to make it any faster. It would cost more to make sure i get proper braking for any higher speeds than what the current setup is meant to do.

In Germany the max speed is 22 kmh and in the city for example berlin with traffic and people it feels very dangerous for big people. With 22 mph it sounds like suicide mode, i plan to tune my g2 for long empty streets outside of berlin to 35 kmh.
Interesting for us 22Mph is pretty slow and in a way unsafe on the road due to having to share the road with vehicle's and drivers getting very irritated with us for slowing them down. I have a Segway GT1 and a Inmotion RS now to avoid the drivers from getting angry, i still love this max G2 because its very light weight and easy to carry, the GT1 and Inmotion RS are very heavy. 😅
Do you see something in your mirror, or is it vibrating too much to see...? I have a mirror on my helmet very close to my eyes, it's a little harmful to see in front, but the view is really good at the back and without vibration, I tried a big mirror on the ninebot max 30, but it vibrated too much, I didn't let the idea go
It does vibrate a little bit but it is definitely visible. I think in this case what helps is having that front suspension. My only issue about the max G2 is just wanting to have an adjustable front suspension, the rear suspension is awesome the front suspension can definitely use improvement but better than not having any at all. 😅
Do you need to have a drivers license or a Permit to own a Segway g2 max in LA?
Good question, not at all. A regular Class C auto license is usually require for scooters that go over 30 miles per hour and based on what a police officer in San Gabriel Valley told me, as long as i follow the same rules of the road, im good. 😊👊
As a 5"10 and 250 girl dealijg with san Francisco hills ive been between this scooter and the nami klima, biiiigggg price differences between the 2 and both scooters having some type of issue with breaking and the nami klima having a much higher top speed for those hills im quite baffled on which i should choose still
Since you mentioned San Francisco, i would honestly go with the Nami Klima, especially if it has dual motors. I wouldn't want you to be disappointed with the performance of the MAX G2 on hills. It will definitely get you around but not without struggling to go up hills, especially medium to large size hills.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 thank you so much, the klima is $1000 more than the max G2 that's why I'm asking around so much cause I'll be doing a 6 month paying system for the klima so I really hope that it lasts me long term, another youtuber owning a Burn E for 4,000+ miles has told me they hold up pretty well but those are around the $4,000 price tag even longer for me to pay even with the monthly pay system, I really just need a long term scooter
@angelinalee1374 i completely understand, i think the Klima is a pretty good scooter specially for its price point. Definitely a GIANT upgrade vs the Max G2 i own lol. In most cases with scooters the most thing people worry about is getting a flat tire when you least expect it. So most riders try to buy a spare set should it happen they can change their tire. The brake disc and brake pads usually last like 2k miles or more depending how hard you choose to brake. I personally like to let go of the throttle on my scooter and let it slow down a bit before i apply the brakes. The last thing is the battery life when it comes to how many times it gets charged. I think it will definitely last you a long time.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 thank you for your help my ma is always so skeptical about online shopping most specially with something with a large price tag but for a big rider it's worth getting a scooter that'll last, with me only working with a $50 allowance every week she doesn't want me to pay 6 months for something that'll break down before I pay it off fully which I have the same fear of. That's why I'm truly trying to talk to as many real owners as I can
Do the mirrors get in the way if you try to fold the scooter down?
It does get in the way. 😬
Your lucky in the UK they are restricted to 15.5mph altho I've heard there's ways of unlocking the speed
There is a way to unlock it to the USA Speeds but some have failed doing so and end up needing to buy a brand new master controller which i have no idea how much that would cost.
Hello, did you start the test with the battery 100% charged ?
Hi, absolutely. I always have the MAX G2 at 100% battery with the Trip speedometer reset to Zero. Its been doing much better with master control 1.5.2 it seems the Torque i had lost on version 1.4.8 was restored and the weird ghost braking is now under much better control.
It will be a while before i can do another range test on the MAX G2 as i had a bad accident on it and slipped through gravel and a pothole so the MAX G2 right side handlebar is bent and the kickstand broke as well so i will have to wait till parts are available to replace them and fix my max G2. I did get a Segway GT1 to replace the MAX G2 and i also have an Inmotion Rs on the way as my long range scooter. So if you have any questions about the other two scooters please feel free to ask. Once im fully recovered from my injury i will get everyone's questions answered. Till then, if you already have a scooter, pleas3 wear safety gear or watch my latest video to know what happened to me and as to why i am fully promoting safety gear moving forward. 🙇♂️🙏

@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983
I really wanted to like this scooter. I had to drop my car off for some shop work about 9.5 miles away from my house, so I bought this in advance. Drop my car off and about 100 feet into my journey home and get error code #21 and a series of beeping sounds. The app describes the error as: "This alarm is caused by a communication failure between the battery and the controller", then it instructs me to remove the bottom cover. I wanted to do that but was 15 miles from home. I ended up doing the trip in the weird diagnostic mode that gives ~10% power, barely enough to move the scooter with no one on it. I kicked most of the way back home whenever I wasn't going slightly downhill which took about 2 hours. Then when I got home I discovered my allen wrenches wouldn't fit the screw holes since NineBot used these weird chinese-made Allen screws with a raised metal center in the hole. Why do that? I couldn't insert my tools? I can't even take the cover off. Returning this product back to Best Buy, very disappointed, and had to do an excruciating walk while stranded miles from home.
Im sorry you experienced that. I havent been able to my max G2 since my accident on it because the handlebar is bent but i got about 250 miles on it and never had that kind of problem with it. When it comes to the screws, they arent chinese 😅 They are called Security Torx screws and they have those to prevent tampering with the battery and unfortunately you can only get thoae Security Torx bits online. I have all those tools for the purpose of repairing mt own scooters but i can definitely feel your frustration with it. My not give the Apollo Go a try? That one does cost a bit more but it does have dual motors which is something i wish the max G2 had.
I just orded one, was a bit worried, I way in at 250 punds in US metrics (!) 110 Kg. I just don't want to go sloooow uphill like I do on my F40
Hi, im so glad you ordered one. This scooter should definitely help with that. On my weight i was able to do 10% inclines without my assistance but at 15% inclines i did have to assist 5he MAX G2 with kicking my food on the pavement to help it get through it. But i think its an awesome scooter specially being able to handle me lol! I was expecting way less mileage than 16.2 miles.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 I'm on the calculator bro. 16.2 miles = 26 Km. Hmm... decent if you have an "precent" in the world like we do hehe... Do you drive it on sport mode? Maybe I forgot from the video
@JaffaGaffa hehehe. About the scooter speed, yes it was in sport mode the whole time. I honestly recommend leaving it in sport mode. In kilometers, Sport mode = 35Kph Drive mod =24Kph Eco mode = 16Kph
I bought this a while back and found the stem and handle bar is quite high for my height, Im 5 ft 8. Is that normal? The handle bars reaches my chest instead of being a little lower for a comfortable grip and posture. The scooter is on the heavy side and I was expecting it to be but the height thing has put me off trying to ride it.
Yeah, it is normal, im 5ft 6, and it's about the same for me, but i got used to it. It is a bit on the heavy side at 54 lbs, but i still think it's a great scooter, and the range is pretty good as well for what it is. I hope you continue to ride your scooter and feel comfortable with the stem height once you start riding it more. 🙇♂️🙏
I was thinking you're like me in the thumbnail and able to ride it effortlessly.
@@ThisisSnake1 😎👊
I got my G2 two days ago, but now I hear like wobble sound from the rear tire (or the motor) when accelerating. Is this normal?
Yeah its definitely Normal. I get that sound too 😅
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 haha alright so I should calm down then 😅 Probably the acceleration from the motor I guess
It is legal in the US to go on the side walk with a scooter?
Hi, technically its illegal to use them on the sidewalk at medium to high speeds due to possibly hitting a pedestrian but people still do it and the police don't really enforce it here.
You used 87% of the battery or 551wh x 87%=406 wh. 406 wh over 1.28 hours equals an average watt output of 317 watts. Not bad. Brakes, tires and the front wheel is the same as the G30.
That sounds about right. I think it did excellent! 😁👍
How many miles it get you on a full charge?
At my current weight of 287lbs i get 18.5 miles from full to 5%. Once it drops to 4% battery life the scooter wont run anymore but it will remain on. However if you are smaller then me in weight you will definitely get way more range than me. 😁👍
Where you get the mirrors
Hi, i got them on Amazon. Here is a link for one side as they are sold individually incase one happens to break, you can order the one that broke instead of a pair. So all you have to do is select the left and the right side. 😁👍

As long as you fold it up yes. Ive gone on the Metro Gold line here in Los Angeles with it and haven't had any issues. 😁👍
50 , is temperature out side ou motor..?
That im not sure, it seems like the max G2 follows battery temperature as the primary Setting to get the scooter to cool down if it goes above heating temperatures. But it does cause overheating once it reaches about 57C = 134F which is definitely very hot and will need time to cool down before riding again.
the overheating might be because you are more than its payload i think i would prefer the g2e at 330lb capacity
It definitely could have been, but Ginger On Wheels got the same overheating issue, and the dude is under 230 lbs. This was a response video to his MAX G2 overheating video that was under 4 minutes. I think it did pretty good, the GT2 would be a good option if anyone wants to stick with the segway brand, but im also a BIG fan of the Gotrax GX3, its cheaper than the GT2 and its almost as fast and at a great price of under $2k USD, Fantastic scooter. 😎👌
Sorry my english is bad , 1 hour and 7 minutes and you traveled 60 miles, in what mode is the scooter and how much do you weigh friend? - Hi From Latam
Hi not a problem, at the time of making this video i was 312Lbs i was able to get 16 miles in Sport mode and since i am in USA we have this MAX G2 unlocked to 22MPH. Im 287lbs now and was able to get 19.2 miles in the same mode. Very close to the 25 miles the sport mode setting calculates for travel. 😊👍
Thank u for ur time ! I think I will buy it @@THEAVERAGEGUY1983
I am 285 and look at me on a F35. Now where is my big belly. There is something odd about my body mass and look.
Nice, im currently at 292, i was at 287 but gained 5 pounds after i had a scooter accident slipping over lose gravel, so i wasnt able to work out at all because i was pretty beat up from the accident. Im doing much better now and started to go for my 6 mile walks again, the only bad thing about my slow recovery is that i cant do any weight lifting yet as i get this really sharp pain on my right ribcage when i lift anything heavier than 15 pounds and was told it has to do with my injury so i apparently have to wait a total of 6 weeks for a full recovery. But i will catch up to what i gained and lose that again and keep losing even more weight to stay in better health. 😁👊
the others are more beautiful, bigger, faster, but at the end at the end of the day wich one want do you want drive....this one , for its glide
Agreed. I also like that its not heavy like my other ones.
I want to buy mirrors for the vehicle. Are the mirrors you use good? do you see well?
I can see through them pretty well even with my wide shoulders, the trick is just semi tightening the mirros with the included allen wrench and going out for a quick spin and adjusting the mirrors as you ride. It's a little hard to do but possble. However, if you are a slimmer person, these will be perfect! Since im a BIG guy and have large shoulders an arms or for a super Muscular dude, i do wish they were 3 inches longer from the neck. But these are great! I have a link for them via amazon in the description for anyone who wants to buy them.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 my height is 1.73 cm. I am worried that the scooter is too tall and driving will be uncomfortable. I just bought it, it will take a few days to get home. I would like to know your opinion on this. Thank you.
@javiervivancos8021 if you are 173cm you are pretty much as tall as i am which is about 5ft 7 inches tall give or take. You should be ok. The height of the handlebar will feel a little bit taller but once you ride it more, you will definitely get used to it.
Heya We're you in drive mode or sport mode ?
Hi, i was in Sport mode the whole time with the speed maxed out at 22Mph on the app. 😁👍
I'm around 280 pounds. How will this fare for me in 36 degrees Fahrenheit? Range and performance wise
It will do pretty well. Im 287 pounds right now and have been getting 19 miles in sport mode with 48 degree Fahrenheit weather. So i think at 36 degrees Fahrenheit it will do very good. The only thing i did notice on my max G2 was the battery dying a little bit faster due to the colder weather. But if you will be riding less tham 19 miles in total. It will definitely do pretty good.
Oh 1 more little tip, if you have a tire inflator, always keep your tires at 55psi it will definitely help with the range vs the standard 43psi or 45psi. I forgot to mention that in the message i just left.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 thank you very much. Yeah, I will be going back and forth to work (total 11 miles). I'm just worried that performance will drop as battery percentage drops?
Guess I'll bring the charger to work and top it off there as well.
@HelloMyFriend_ ah that should give you some decent speed as well going back home. For me on my max G2 it does lower it self on speed when it reaches the 3rd battery icon which on the app its around 60% it drops from 22mph to 18mph. But taking your charger isnt a bad idea either. Just let the scooter cool down first for about 1 hour before plugging in the charger. It will keep the temp down. 😁👊
Отличная работа и важная информация!
Thank you very much.
Great detailed explanation keep up the good work. What do you think of the Costco Segway they sell for $450. And the Sam’s club 🛴? Have you tried them I’m thinking of buying one
Thank you for the feedback its very much appreciated. As for the Costco scooter they have from segway, i havent tried it. If its the ES3 scooter. It seems like a good compact size and can handle a rider up to 220lbs. I think that its pretty good for the price based on the specs on paper.
How are u getting 25 mph or more out the scooter
Hi, im not understanding your question but ill answer as best as i can here. I have only gone up to 25 miles briefly, and that's only with Regen Braking Off, which allows the scooter to not be held back when going down a slight hill. Regen braking Off basically allows to scooter to coast without needing to use the throttle of the scooter. Infact if you press on the throttle while going down hill it will actually try to slow you down to stay at 22Mph. I hope that's the answer you were looking for, if not please feel free to ask again about the MAX G2. 😁👍
