Definitely excited for the KQi 300 series - but it'll probably be a while before there's enough rider feedback and miles ridden to get a broad opinion of its quality. But having tested many of the KQis, I can only imagine it'll be great!

[@Jumprr05]

You buy Segway for the reliability. These things are like the Honda Civics or Toyota Camry's of the e-scooter space. Yeah, their top speed isn't the best, but you can treat it like trash and it will survive.

[@eRideHero]

Very true - particularly with the G models (G30LP, G30P, G2) and higher end GT models. Some of the really cheap entry-level models are a bit questionable, but that goes for the entire industry at those price points. G models are truly the most dependable below $1K.

[@714SNF]

Thx for the review! Would you say this is the best all around scooter for someone new? In terms of durability and reliability?

[@eRideHero]

You're welcome. I'd definitely say it's up there. Segway G series and NIU lineup are my favorites for city commuting. You may get similar performance cheaper elsewhere, but they're really refined machines

[@ChoJun69]

As someone who's pretty new into scooters and spent good month googling and reviewing them before deciding to buy one, it would say G2 max is definitely there at the very top of peak purchase. Other cheaper variants usually have worse suspensions, which might not be a big issue if you have clear and no holes road, but if you try good suspension vs mediocre one, there's massive difference on every little bump.

[@ChoJun69]

@johnsysays depends where you live since some countries have different tax values and price jumps around. My g2 cost me 720euros for example. Anything of dual motor+suspension instantly +1.1-1.2k euros. G2 is definitely at the top for quality purchases under $1000, although after riding it for a while, i wish it had 48v battery so it wouldnt slow down when going lower battery %, the only negative of G2 for me atm.

[@Rhialto]

I'm surprised all your range tests show the G30P as better like if they RideyLong is just marketing. I've used a G30P for last 3 summer and this summer I should be riding a MAX G2 and was expecting to do a little better. I have a few runs I regularly do so I should be able to quickly compare.

[@eRideHero]

Yeah I was too! That's why real tests speak volumes more than marketing and specs. Do keep in mind that speed test #1 I held a higher avg speed than the G30P test, so it makes sense it doesn't go as far. RideyLong is nice, but isn't really a game changer. Overall, they have been able to offset some of the added weight with a more optimized powertrain, though.

[@Rhialto]

@@eRideHero That may resume quite well what tuning they did, I mean keep similar distances with the extra weight of both suspensions.

[@eRideHero]

Exactly. At a given speed, expect the same range out of either.

How much maintenance do escooters require?

[@eRideHero]

[@Azer398]

Great review. I asked you the same question on an older reddit post, so apologies for the harassment, but do you prefer this scooter or the KQi3 Max? I am struggling with the decision. I am leaning towards the G2 but am concerned at the performance drop-off and the long term reliability of the battery.

[@eRideHero]

Thanks! I saw - it's a tough choice, honestly. Got a long commute or like to get there quick? KQi3 Max. Hills? KQi3 Max (cuz of 48V). Got rough roads on your commute? G2. Rarely break 20 MPH (or have no intention to)? G2. G2 is the most comfortable, but the KQi3 Max is the more capable in performance. Admittedly, the G2 feels better until you hit 50% battery ish, then it leaves me longing for the power retention of the KQI3 Max. Hope that helps, and it's no harassment at all - I'm happy to help. If you end up with any of these, you can always support future reviews (e.g. the new suspension models from NIU) with affiliate links in the description. I have a full video coming on the KQi3 Max, by the way - but most points can be found in my written review on eridehero.com

[@eRideHero]

In terms of battery reliability, I belice it's good on the G2 - the issue is just the 36V setup and possibly firmware limitations

[@Azer398]

@@eRideHero Thanks for the detailed response. Went and read your written review on the KQi3 - you are producing excellent content. Despite a general sense that the KQi is a slightly better scooter, I decided on the G2. It made for sense for my commute in the EU I feel. Thanks for helping me to make the decision. I'll be sure to recommend you to others and check out your reviews again in the future.

[@eRideHero]

Appreciate it a lot! Sadly Google killed a lot of my reach on search this past half year making these reviews not so financially viable but I push forward and hope for better times. Thanks for supporting!

[@wahidmardan]

What I can figure out of this video is that Niu kqi300x series is an upgrade on this scooter. 500/1000 watt motor, 2kg less in weight, 48 volt, 10.5 inches tubeless tyre, and finally a dual-tube hydraulic suspension (at least in the front if not in the rear) collectively makes NiuKqi300X an upgrade over the Segway Max g2. Do you agree?

[@eRideHero]

It does look like it on paper, but it is too early to tell. It needs to stand the test of time like the Max G2 did, but all I can say is I am really excited to test the 300X and on paper it looks like a game-changer. Hopefully I receive mine in a couple of weeks. Specs do look better (apart from no rear suspension, but I imagine it'll be the better choice in most cases if it holds up well)

[@brunowalkowiak3432]

I can get a g30p for 350 new right now. Would you get that or spend up for this for 800 or the vmax f2 pro for 685? Thanks!

[@eRideHero]

The G30P at 350 is an incredible deal. I'd take it if it serves your power needs. Otherwise, the Vmax VX2 is an awesome deal currently too

Thanks for the question. I will receive the 300X soon but am still waiting for it to arrive here in Denmark. Can't comment on it just yet but it looks promising - I suspect ride quality will be 10% below the G2 (Dual suspension) but motor performance 10% better.

[@wahidmardan]

Very nice review but I’m left with no firm decision haha. Is the 36 voltage issue is really a big issue for which I should switch to let’s say Niu Kqi3 max? Or do you think other features such as suspicion etc should rather be taken more serious than the 36 voltage issue?

[@eRideHero]

Thanks, Wahid! My two cents: - If you live in an area with somewhat steep hills, go with the KQi3 Max. It's cheaper and has a bit more power. - If you live in an area with moderate hills and don't really care for the extra oomph of having 48V, but would be happy to pay a bit extra for superior ride quality, go with the G2. The G2 is more comfortable, but the KQi3 Max offers more performance relative to price.

[@wahidmardan]

@@eRideHero thanks for the reply. I actually meant Niu KQi300X which also has one dual-tube hydraulic suspension in the front. I mistakenly have mentioned KQi3 max. That said, weight is another issue because Segway model is 24 kg and the stated NIU model is 22 kg haha. I have now decided NiuKQi Air X which is made up of carbon fiber and is only 11.7 kg but that is too much expensive despite the fact that there are no suspensions either. I live in a plain city in Austria with high quality road infrastructure.

[@eRideHero]

You're welcome. I think the 300X will be good, but it always take some time for reviews and feedback from people to come in to judge its reliability. I actually just tested the NIU KQi Air - I uploaded a review on my channel. I can highly recommend it - it's the most comfortable ultra light scooter I've tested. You live in EU? In that case, both Segway and NIU will be locked to 25 KMH, so you likely won't feel a big difference between 36V and 48V

[@wahidmardan]

@@eRideHero I will watch the review now. If I go for Air then I would probably go for Air X which is all carbon but do you think it makes a sense spending so much money on a scooter without suspension.

[@eRideHero]

Yes, if road conditions are good in your area, you don't really need suspension when you've got air tires. Also, I'd go with the regular Air over the Air X - they're only 200 grams apart in weight but the X is notably more expensive

Only dual motor ninebot has is the gt2p but $2000+ is too much for me... i need a hill climber for around $1000

[@eRideHero]

You don't necessarily need dual motors for hill climbing. As long as you go 48V, 52V and at least 500W (or above) a single powerful motor can push you up most hills. The Inmotion Climber fits the bill for that within your budget perfectly though. Still, even the NIU KQi 300X easily does 20% inclines and that's just 48V 500W rear. Thanks for watching and hope it helps.

hi @eridehero - how would you think it fairs based of someone of 100kg? im scared to buy one if its not going to go uphills

[@eRideHero]

I would start my figuring out how steep the inclines are where you plan to ride. There are some online tools that should be able to show percentage or degrees. At 80 kg I felt that the 17% was the maximum it could handle. At 100 kg, I think you'll be good up to 13-14%. It's definitely one of the better climbers in its class. The KQi3 Max (I have a full review with hill tests on my website) may just beat it by a hair.

[@josue.0]

hi, you mention it struggles on 15% hills, but (around 2:42) the video shows the scooter on a hill of around 25% (which is ~14 degrees), maybe you meant 15 degrees instead of 15%? Also I would like to know the speed on that hill shown in the video as I plan to climb a similar one in my usual travels 🙏

[@eRideHero]

That incline peaks at around 17-18% and avg speed crawls down to about 6 KMH (≈4 MPH). I think Segway has some smart firmware that kicks in on hills, you sort of feel that the scooter won't make it when you first hit the hill but then kicks in some momentum. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

The weight is definitely a deal-breaker for some. I'd say it is well-warranted with the excellent suspension, beefed up dimensions and overall heavy-duty build, but on smooth roads there are alternatives models like the KQi3's and Horizon will deliver a similar riding experience at a lower weight. Thanks for watching.

[@biancakim2749]

It is heavy, but i thought about this purchase for a while. My roads and streets where i live are not smooth at all. Alot of cracked pavement and potholes, so i needed something like this to save me from those "what if" moments. With 0 suspention 100% wouldnt fallen off and hurt myself by now.

[@techbyjules]

Sounds like the Ninebot F2 pro is for you. Almost all the features of the G2 without the rear suspension for less money and less weight

[@Midori_Hoshi]

@@techbyjules Exactly right. That's my current e-scooter!

[@chaxologist2024]

@@techbyjules I got the same scooter as well! Unfortunately, its range is below average and I might have received a "subpar" unit but everything else is strong. Going to upgrade to the Apollo Go soon.

[@yachoo]

Hi, how did you unlock it? You changed the serial number?

[@eRideHero]

Using XiaoDash - only worked prior to 1.4.8 firmware I believe. If you're already after that, it's too late i think

[@Alex_Verso]

G2 definitely needs a 48v battery

[@eRideHero]

Would be great!!

[@matthewdenham7398]

All Ninebots are worth it

[@poligonzo5300]

Looks like the aovo pro es Max

[@eRideHero]

It does indeed. The Aovo is likely a clone to an extent.

[@alidehghani7904]

It is not the best! It is not even in the top 3!!! Who would go for 36 volt??? It's sluggish and useless. Even kqi3 pro is better cause it's slightly weaker, but it's consistent to the last minute

[@ChoJun69]

36v vs 48v only matters if you go past EU limited speeds lmao, if you're going 20km/h at best, it doesnt matter at all.

[@lv1up]

What about uphill?

[@alidehghani7904]

@ChoJun69 but I guess no one rides at 20 km! Anyone I see is riding, usually around 30 km

[@ChoJun69]

@@alidehghani7904 most EU countries ride 20-25km as its max limit, you have to hack it to ride above that. Majority just dont talk about it, im personally riding at 25km/h, often 20km/h cuz its bicycle lanes with pedestrians around and i would rather be safer, although i mostly go remote path with less light stops , cant drive on street sadly. (the bicycle lanes are pretty big, can easily fit 2-3 scooters/bikers)

We need european units!!!

Good shout. I will update my graph layout to somehow include conversions in the future. Thanks for watching

[@chaxologist2024]

The stem latch angle of the G2 Max is too obsolete and awkward, making portability near impossible not to mention there are too many complaints coming out about its leaking front suspension, The Apollo City Pro 2023 would even be more portable due to its centered stem attachment despite being 12 pounds heavier and is an excellent alternative if car replacement and long range is priority. The best alternatives with a similar price would be the Apollo Air or the new Go. Both have slightly lower ranges but make up by being far more portable and lightweight, especially the latter.

[@eRideHero]

Hard disagree. The folding mechanism is good, and it is absolutely not near impossible to carry (hardly makes a difference in fact). Although a centered stem is objectively better, it's not a big deal. As an owner of the City Pro 2023, the City is nowhere near as portable as the G2 Max. You have to tediously bend down to pull up the hook (and set it in the right position) for the latch to properly get into place. I get where you're coming from, though - the NIU click-release mechanisms are definitely better.

[@chaxologist2024]

@@eRideHero Yeah. What I meant by portability being near impossible for the G2 is storing it in tight places without the handlebar sticking out and proding at people especially in public transit. This could be a safety hazard and will potentially lead to disputes or altercations due to this design flaw. I actually prefer the Segway F2 Pro's opposite angled stem latch configuration because I am right handed carry and left hand support hold on the folded bar as most people are right handed to which I can fit my entire body width within the entire handlebar width. I carry the scooter back-facing forward because it enables me (and most people) to be able to carry by the stem with their dominant hand and the handlebar with their non-dominant hand for support. This way of carrying makes it extremely easy to guide and dictate where the sticking handlebar can be safely stored without it causing a hassle. That also gives me the advantage of safely tucking almost the entire width of the handlebar under or between seats so that the remainder sticking out is very narrow that people won't trip on them or cause altercations unlike the G2's or even G30P's opposite angle configuration! Technically, the Apollo Go will be the best alternative/reliable choice to the G2 Max if similar range, required portability for public transit is needed and Apollo City for longer range and more streamlined latch angle.

[@marshallb5210]

got a refund cause the front shock became wobbly and they don't stock parts in europe, timely warranty repair is impossible with these idiots crazy deadzone on the throttle too, literally no response until the last 30% of throttle position

Dont ride your scooter in the rain if you can help it. i dont care what the waterproof rating is claimed to be its going to last so much longer. if kept dry

[@eRideHero]

Agreed-Avoid rain as best as you can. For someone like me living in Denmark where it rains 170 days a year, it's not an option, though. In that case, the G2 is a good shout.
