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
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. 😁🙏
Also, you really provide good answers to questions in the comments. Thanks. Really appreciate that.
@@robertg227 no problem. Please feel free to ask any questions about the MAX G2 or any other scooter i own that i have shown here on the channel. 😁👊
Thank you as a heavier scooter rider myself who has been debating on getting this model this is very helpful 👍🏻
Right on. 😎👊
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
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. 😎👊
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. 😊👍
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.
I love the safety features you installed. 👍👍👍
Thank you!!!! Safety first. I just need knee pads and elbow pads that fit me right lol. 😅
Great video thank you. Im 78 years old. A few years ago i weighed 255 pounds. Now at 175. Im on low sodium diet 1200mg a day. It's about the only diet that has worked well for me. Check with your doctor see if he would ok for you. Happy riding 😃
@@GlennBrown-r1n 🙇♂️🙏
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!
😁🙏
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. 😁🙏
This helped me so much. Thank you for this honest, clear review.
Thank you for giving me the confidence to buy and ride a scooter. I live in Toronto, Canada and I weigh 290 pounds. Everything I need is a 20-minute car ride from where I live. So I gave my wife our car and bought a scooter last week. I got the Apollo Phantom 2024 edition and I'm really enjoying it. It's made here in Canada, so that's like the main reason, as buying things from the states can be tricky for us Canadians. I love this scooter, it's rated to handle my big self and it packs a punch and stops on a dime. I ride it on the sidewalks as I still haven't worked the courage to ride it on the roads yet, cause we have some pretty crazy drivers here in Toronto who show no respect to the people on 2 wheels or 1. But one day, I hope to ride like you...smart, safe and confident. Again, thanks for your video and commentary, as it gave this guy the confidence to buy his very first scooter. Stay safe and have fun.
@velmano9191 thats awesome! The Apollo Phantom is an amazing scooter with great power and pretty good range.
I also appreciate the positive feedback 😎👊
Sounds like your having a good time and you are right about about repairs and parts. It's not easy to fix. Good Video.
😁🙏
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.
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. 😎👊
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. 😁👍
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.
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. 😅
What is EUC?
@@norwidgie Electric Uni Cycle.
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
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
Great review, was thinking about buying so glad to see it could shift my weight 👍
@@karlsmith3041 😁🙌
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.
You're a really good reviewer, well done mate, thanks.
@@Ariel-x1x thank you very much. 🙇♂️🙏
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 is this filmed. My guy is driving A ninebot in paradise. 🌴☀
Hahahaha, i wish i lived in paradise lol! I film from Highland Park California and travel down to San Gabriel Valley and Back to Highland Park. 😁👍
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 Nice, year round scooter weather. Appreciate the video 💪🏽
YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!!! Thank you for this.
@@bonnielee4894 😁🙏
Really great testimony. Hope Segway gives you a scooter for this. Just bought a max G2 and it is so fun to ride.
🙇♂️🙏
I really enjoyed ur vid. real work testing and I pretty much watched it all. gives me a range with my weight which is 200
Absolutely! You will definitely get a good range at your current weight. 😎👍
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. 😅
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.
Thank you for the video, it is very helpful! Be safe out there!
😊🙏
Thanks for the review! Well done!
@@JMGENTERPRISES 🥰🙏
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. 😁👍
I enjoyed the video and nice personality! Keep up
Thank you 😊🙏
Well done. The way reviews should be done. Wish you much success
Thank you very much. 🙇♂️🙏
Nice vide man 👌🏼Greerings from Sweden
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. 😎👊
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 😅
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.
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. 😅
Awesome video, very informational, thanks!
@@jeremystacy5870 thank you so much. Im glad it helped. This is definitely a nice scooter. I still have it and use it for shorter commutes. 😎👍
great review i wanted to see how the POV of the scooter is and how it handles hot weather, thanks

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. 😁👊
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. 🙇♂️🙏
Your way over the specs for that scooter, or for that matter any bike. Good video.
Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you for watching. 🙏
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! 😁👍
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 👍🏾
Is there a good way to lock these up while shopping?
@Doorass-uu8nv absolutely. I use a U lock. I have 3 that i have tried, but this one here seems to work best for the Max G2 and Segway GT1 since their stems are on the thick side. The only thing i dont use from the lock is the strap mount clip since i have different scooters that i use at times so i put it in my backpack.

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.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 I ended up getting an INMOTION V11Y (unicycle), with the optional seat. Pretty easy to control with the high seat and I've avoided a lot of beginner spills. I almost went for their RS scooter which is a crazy 60+ mph scooter, but weighs 128 pounds. The unicycle is about 60 pounds and even though it has a steep learning curve I've done well and have no regrets. Zero failures whatsoever and the battery life is amazing. As far as Segway is concerned I consider their scooters fail products. The security torx bolts were a dumb addition that will only piss off their consumers. Now I know what brand to stay away from, unfortunately.
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.
Good video. I have put on a few pounds these past few decades, I'm *cough* big boned. Okay?! LOL I was looking for a video like that. Thank you kindly.
Also, it's different hearing an American saying Celsius.
no problem thank you so much for your kind comment. im glad you found it helpful. 🤓🙏
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. 😬
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. 😁👍
Great review. Thank you
you are very welcome ☺🙏
Do they fold flat enouph to fit in the trunk of a mid size vehicle?
@Doorass-uu8nv it does indeed since its not that big.
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 the perspective I definitely wonder what bikes actually meet the weight limits they say
🙇♂️🙏
I just got one but how do i do cruise mode??
@Brobronique under the app, you can select cruise control and set it to the first mode, which allows you to hold down your speed on the throttle and then press on any turn signal button for 3 seconds at the same time as holding down your throttle to activate the cruise control. The other option i dont really recommend as it will automatically do cruise control as you press down on the throttle and noticed it gives me a random speed and there is no way to adjust that unless i disable the cruise control by pressing on the brake handle and then speeding up again until i reach close to mt desired speed. Hope this helps. 🙏
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. 😎👍
I'd be careful hugging the right so hard when your near parked cars, they could open it at a bad moment while your passing by
@Diremagic yeah i agree with you 100% i always worry about that.
ty for video man
Since I live in Turkey, there was a speed limit, so I removed it with the xiodash application. Do you know if I update the version and it will go back to its old state?
@M.Mat. it is definitely possible so i would hold off on updating it.
This is like wanting a Miata but should have gotten a Tahoe. There is a Gt1/2 for bigger riders. Im sorry dude did that though, he wouldn't want anyone to do that to him!
Its all good. Im waiting on a pre order i did for an Inmotion RS that can definitely tolerate me at my current weight of 287lbs and thankfully still going down.
Once i go down to 265lbs ill be doing another range test on the MAX G2 😎👊
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.
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.
I think the speed ur going is great for ur size. I'm thinking bout getting one just undecided yet. I mostly drive but these look fun. I weigh 200 so I wonder how the ride will be
I think you would definitely enjoy it. It's a great scooter, and even now, at my current weight of 285, i now get 18.5 miles and zero overheating. Great improvement with the latest firmware update as well as my current weight. 😎👍 i also drive a car but love riding scooters as it's a fun experience.
I've had this a bit more than a month and I'm regretting it. The scooter feels slow now and 22 mph is not enough. I want to keep up with cars.
@sevarchy it is indeed too slow for road use even on a bike lane it feels a little scary to ride next to cars. Thats exactly how i ended up with the Segway GT1 and now an Inmotion RS Midnight. 😅
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 Yeah, those scooters are so much better in terms of speed, but they are pricey and I can't afford it. I bought the G2 Max without doing much research and if I were to make a better purchase, I would have gotten the GT1 for $1500. Oh well.
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.
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
A great demo ride.
Thank you Saul, i greatly appreciated the positive feedback. 🙇♂️🙏
I’m confused. The specs say 265lbs is the max load for this scooter 🤔
@stmichale6192 that is correct but ive already explained this so many times to other people that its getting exhausting. Just take the data i was able to put as a good or bad thing.
In my state that guy who drove you off and made you fall would be in prison, not jail. Hope you had the camera rolling and pressed charges. Or he'll just do it to someone else.
@HalkerVeil i didn't that time but i do have a dashcam now installed on the max G2 and my other scooter. 🙏🙇♂️
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
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. 😁🙏
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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸😎😎😎😎
😎👊
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. 😎👊
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.

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. 🤔🧐
This scooter is similar to the Apollo go.
It sure is! Since it has 2 motors it is a bit more powerful than the max G2. For example the Max G2 has a 450 watt Nominal single motor while the Apollo Go has Two 350 Watt Nominal motors bringing the power to 700 Watts for better hill climbing but the same power battery of 36V 15 Amps would give you less range than the max G2 but only like a 5 miles difference. Both are excellent options and the top speed on the Apollo go is about 27 miles per hour vs the max G2 at 21.7 miles per hour in sport mode. 😁👍
Sounds like a error beeping issue
@dylanhartley2547 yeah it was the battery indicator beeping, it was warning me that i was at 20% battery life. It doesn't do that anymore since its been updated multiple times it basically stays quiet now.
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.

Or if using a chain type lock, maybe something like this will help.

can a 14 or 13 year old ride this is it allowed?
@AKDDSAN absolutely! My son that was 12 at the time was using my MAX G2 for a few months before i bought him a Solar EQ for his 13th birthday. The only issue we had with the max G2 is the handlebar height. My son is 4ft 9in tall and the handlebar was a couple inches too tall for him so i would recommend it for anyone 5ft and above in height.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 alright thanks
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.
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.
Do the mirrors get in the way if you try to fold the scooter down?
It does get in the way. 😬
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.
no doubt that the heavier you are the less performance you will get from basically any vehicle.. especially PEVs
Yep, just leaving a video feedback for other dudes that are on the heavy side that cant afford more than $1k USD but still want to get a scooter. This is is still an awesome scooter. Its not as fast as the Hyper scooter i just pre ordered 2 weeks ago but its a nice scooter to take on trails or bike paths for sure. 😎👌
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 absolutely. I'm sure this video has helped many people because so many reviews are by smaller guys, like range is always tested by some 155lb rider (doing some super low speed) so that's basically meaningless to me.. The Max G2 looks like a really solid scooter for the price!
@@greenwave819 😎👊
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. 😊👊
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
