SegwayNinebot Max G3 Electric Scooter, 28 mph Top Speed w/ 50 Miles Max Range, 2000W Peak Motor, Dual Hydraulic Suspension, Fast Charging Scooter for Adults and Teens, UL-2272 2271 Certified

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.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

What else can I say about this top-tier scooter which not only has a good look, but the performance is top-notch too. The ride is super smooth and the speed is more than enough for city use. The big wheel will take you off road easily. The App has so many useful feature and setting. I like the dual thumb/twist throttle a lot. The range is plenty for me and I don’t need to use the optional additional add on battery. The built-in charger is a nice feature so that is no break charger unit but a small handy cord. I painted a red line on the tires and it looks awesome. Note also that it is a large size scooter and somewhat heavy but that is how I like.
