Ninebot Max - 5 MUST Have Accessories

Haha. All good my friend. I thought u may have been joking with the lol part in there. Have u had much riding time to enjoy your Ninebot Max? I'll be doing another accessories version as well. My new hack video has come to a halt. I cannot get the hack to work 😕

[@LAVIV007]

One accessory I think many MAX G30 owners would look for is a duffel bag for the kickscooter itself. Due to its relatively big measurements (Folded: 116.7 × 47.2 × 53.4 cm ) it's not an easy task to find such a bag. In Europe such a bag is a necessity if you wish to take your scooter/roller with you while visiting other countries/cities/villages. On trains, your scooter will be categorized as 'bicycle' and be charged accordingly; however if packed in a bag... well, there shouldn't be any extra charges and you'd be able to keep an eye on it. Obviously, a better bag would have a pair of little wheels on one of its ends. Second accessory, which is rather a question: this baby weighs over 20Kg which is a huge problem as this model has no stable middle grip when folded. Imagine if one has to carry it upstairs (lifts may be missing or out of order) metro (underground) passes etc, not all wo/men are muscle pumped. I just wonder, if anyone can come up with a solution for its grip.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

I love this feedback Laviv. That is a really cool concept idea to be manufactured. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@LAVIV007]

@@TheWannabeGeek Those accessories are available on the net. No need to "be manufactured". I was just suggesting additions--that I haven't seen in any other videos on the MAX G30--to your video/future video. The weight and lack of a stable grip (when folded) of the MAX G30 is quite an issue when carrying it , and I say that as an owner of this model. Here's one good solution I found yesterday and was successful in assembling from a bag belt leftover. www.amazon.co.uk/Scooter-Skateboard-Carrying-Straps-MEGAWHEELS/dp/B085TN987P/ref=sr_1_27_sspa?crid=VR176Y1XLL6T&dchild=1&keywords=segway+max+g30&qid=1600257576&s=sports&sprefix=segway+max%2Csports%2C181&sr=1-27-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyWjdVSUo4Tzk3WFBDJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDUzMzkyMUwzODBNNzRVUEEzNyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzMyMzU5MkQyVjFHS0tMS1U4MiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX210ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Its not that hard to kind sling it over your shoulder honestly

[@heyojayo8642]

Good vid breh. One thing I'd change is toss the combi lock and get a kryptonite Ulock at the minimum. Thieves tier one tool is a pair of bolt cutters. Cable combi lock is ez prey. Ulocks need at least an angle grinder. Not silent like the cutters so the noise will alert anyone nearby. Also lock at the neck of your scoot not the stem or wheels. Thieves will just allen key the screw off the forks releasing the wheel or folding mechanism releasing the lock. Leaving you with heartbreak. Take care and Happy scootin!

[@GCasey]

The Ninebot Max is fun and probably the most modifiable scooter. They are built like tanks, and are good just as a primary scooter or as a second/backup scooter for when you get a dual motor scooter someday. If you own a Max or plan on buying one the following information is meant to point you in the right direction as you embark on your scooter journey if you plan on modding. It’s important to know who you are doing business with in the Ninebot Max “Mods” marketplace. We all work too hard for our money just to get ripped off by dishonest sellers. Scooters are a fun hobby so let’s not reward dishonest sellers who prey on enthusiastic new scooter owners. Do your research and only buy from credible retailers when it comes to critical components. Cheap accessories, however, such as lights, stickers, replacement tires, etc can be had for good prices from different retail sites. Below is my experience and I hope it helps in you search for an honest reputable seller when it comes to modifying your Ninebot Max. I bought my Max in Feb 2019, rode it for a while and was disappointed like many others about its poor performance in its stock form. I then hastily searched for mods and found a recommendation on an ESG video. They endorsed Carter Nordium of Nordbot Store which is now called Nordbot Shop. I ordered a front suspension and 36v range extender from him. At the time I didn’t know what I was getting into and he seemed legit at the time. His products were represented as high quality and unique to his company, boasting of using Sanyo or LG cells for his batteries. When I got the orders I quickly realized what had happened. It appeared as if both were drop shipped directly from China. I could tell this by the return address and by the very “Chinese-ey” packaging, lol. In his product description he wrote that it takes up to a month to receive batteries because it takes a while to make them. It was clear that it took that long probably because it takes 30+ days to ship something from China, not because it takes that long to make it. Anyway I started to search Alliexpress and found they sell what looked and read like the exact same products that I ordered from Nordbot for only 1/4 the price. When I asked about this on Nordbot’s fb page I was immediately blocked, lol. I figured him out and he did not want prospective customers to know as that could be bad for business. I since then discovered the only true Ninebot mods sellers/manufacturers, mymaxmods.com and Sharkset. If you are in the USA I know you have to order Sharkset products through mymaxmods (an authorized dealer). So I bought the whole “shebang” from mymaxmods and Sharkset which allowed me a 48v upgrade, better motor (fatmax), Sharkset suspension, new controller and a handlebar lift kit. You should get what you pay for and with mymaxmods and Sharkset you get just that as well as great customer support. I hope my experience saves the rest of you money, and also, be careful about believing endorsements from ESG as they are most likely paid endorsements. We all know how credible “paid” endorsements can be. It’s a fun hobby not just a “budget” so you will spend more money than is sometimes practical, but that’s how it goes with hobbies. Good luck guys/gals, be safe and watch out for predators trying to steal your hard earned money.

[@Gordie009]

Wouldn’t a rear view mirror be a good idea? I haven’t received my Max yet, but I have been looking for mirrors without any luck. Maybe not needed?

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Have to agree David. Can get a little sketchy whilst hooking along at 30km/h and looking back over your shoulder! Something to consider. :) Thanks for watching :)

[@LisaLightning]

I’m putting on a mirror with a long flexible stem that will bend up and out. Have one left over from a set I got for bicycle. I think it’ll work perfect. You DEFINITELY want a mirror.

Hey there NeTak, I have been very happy with the quality of the image stabilisation out of the GoPro. I haven’t had any issues at all. I am using the GoPro Hero 8 mostly on the bars :) Thanks for watching.

nice informative video thanks

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Thanks Umeed. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Isengardtom]

Very happy I bought mine In these Corona partial lockdown times it allows me to go outside for a bit (on my own off course )

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Yea, I totally know what you mean. I was out and about in mine last night. In this time of isolation it is just fun to get out and about by yourself and ride. Thanks for stopping by and watching. 😊

@@TheWannabeGeekis ninebot max the same device ninebot G3 max?

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Strong B Hey there Strong B. No, the G3 is the Ninebot ES2. It is a smaller and lighter version. I haven’t tried the hack on one of those, it may still work though.

[@suchitrasundararaman900]

Hi there! Great video 😊 I am looking to buy one but is there a risk of a flat tire? If yes, do you know where we can get the parts or how to fix it?

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey there. Thanks for reaching out. I am actually doing the latest video on how to handle a flat tire. There is always a risk, however, the Ninebot Max has pneumatic tires which are puncture resistant. I have had two flats tires and have found the easiest to fix them which I will show in my next video coming out in 5 days. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching.

[@suchitrasundararaman900]

Looking forward to it! :) I was confused if I should get the es4 for that reason. Thanks for your response 🙂

[@TheWannabeGeek]

@@suchitrasundararaman900 I am a big advocate of the Max. Seriously go for the Max. You won't regret it.

[@shannonconley2730]

Those locks are so easy to brake!

[@TheWannabeGeek]

True, however I’m only using it as a deterrent rather than a set and forget option. The U Bolt lock would be a better solution for a set and forget.

[@Saltermedia]

Great video again. Good stuff. Still waiting for mine to be legal across in England so not using it as much as I'd like to 👍

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Thanks heaps Salter. Really appreciate. Keep on getting out as much as possible. It's crazy that some governments are restricting these. They should be all over it for local commuters.

OMG! You're such a geek! I love it! 🤣 Great tips and I love that you started off with a helmet and reiterated the importance of it multiple times. Thank You! Are the Max's compatible with the ES3/ES4 range extender battery packs. I know, you're thinking why because it already has about a forty mile claimed range. However there is now a lowered range version, Max G30LP, with a 25 mile claimed range I believe. Thanks either way brother!

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Haha. Thanks C4M3120N. Really good question. I don't believe they are compatible however will have to check it out for you.

Do you have links to the stuff you mentioned?

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey there Muricio, please refresh. I have updated with the links to the accessories. If these are not in your region, at least you can search for similar items. Thanks for watching, and let me know if there is anything else you need.

[@troyke]

I have a HUGE stomach and look like an old fat man riding my Ninebot with a helmet, (I am an old fat man riding a Ninebot with a helmet) and I STILL get positive reactions from people while riding my scooter. So don't worry about having to wear a helmet while riding your scooter! Just remember, there are TONS of people who, out of fear, wouldn't DARE ride a scooter, helmet or no helmet! So wear a helmet and protect yourself! Don't risk your life trying to look cool for someone else! If you die riding without a helmet, there will be no 2nd chances to go back and change your mind!

[@TheWannabeGeek]

😂did you get triggered by something? Sure sounds like it. Well, thanks for watching. Glad you stopped by and made a comment 😂 albeit you’re a KBW. 🤙🏼 make sure you go love life, love the dream and be kind to someone.

[@troyke]

@@TheWannabeGeek Well, yes. I believe very strongly in the need to wear a helmet, and whatever I can do to convince other people to do so (thinking it could save their life) is a good thing, KBW or not.

I love your videos, thanks! I am also part of the gang and I am loving this beauty. I have a question for you :) : have you bought a carrying bag for it as well? I can only find the ones fitting the Xiaomi but our beauties are bigger and heavier and I am struggling to find the proper one I can buy. Thanks!

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey MigrantSoul. I am so sorry about the delayed response. I do use a backpack a lot as well. Just so I can carry other items. There is a bigger version of the handlebars bag. However I do find it too small when doing a big trip.

[@MambertoMIMRF]

@@TheWannabeGeek Hey, thanks a lot for your reply, I managed to purchase the perfect WildMan bag. Cheers!

[@Kai88988]

i refuse to wear a helmet, it's pretty hard to fall off anyway and if you're just slowly driving through the city i think you'll be fine

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey there Kai. Thanks for watching. Although it's the law here I hadn't always worn one until I nearly came off doing 30km/h safe riding. Thanks heaps for watching.

[@Kai88988]

@@TheWannabeGeek ahaha thankfully my scooter only goes to 25 but that sounds like it would've hurt. but because i use it in the city i don't go over 10-16km so im hoping that's safe enough to not fall off or atleast not hurt as much

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Haha. I was in the city a week ago and didn't wear one either. 😁 I totally get it. I was using one of the hire ones. So I didn't really want to wear one of the public one 😂 Merry Christmas 🎄 ☺️

[@piotrzieba2890]

Having a cable to secure your bike/scooter is like setting your PIN as 1234 or a password as "PASSWORD". Seriously. Do not, under no circumstances, use a cable, unless you are planning your Max G30 to be stolen.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Piotr. Thanks for watching. Where I live. This is more than enough for me. As I have stated in numerous comments below. This is not a set and forget, it’s a deterrent if your running in a of out of a shop or sitting at a cafe which I have done in numerous cities including my own. This is not some small cable btw. Lol. I can guarantee you that no one is getting away with my scooter by the way I use it. But thanks for highlighting it. It’s not 100% set and forget as stated. Thanks again. Have a great week. Love Life, Live the Dream.

The Wannabe Geek- I just came across your channel but its hard to take it seriously. Must have #1 item on your accessories list is a helmet... but it’s not even fastened 6:21 The flip flops are another huge misjudgment and you brush it off with an emoji (above comment).Please inform AND role model safety practices if your advocating the sport to the masses.

Hey Lennert, thanks for watching.Some prefer not to carry a backpack whilst riding a scooter. Many occasions also where people have lost items out of their pockets whilst riding… Maybe you haven’t owned one yet… When you do, let me know when you get one of the handlebar bags… They are awesome.

@@TheWannabeGeek I use the seat, the official ninebot seat I bought was $75 AUD and it's very good. Pros: you can take a seat if you've been standing for a while and want a break. İt's got cushioning and we'll padded so it's comfortable. İt folds. İt can be taken off with Allen keys (4 small bolts) More stable for when you use one hand. Cons : less legroom, Extra weight, Need tool to take off.(which can be a pro of you're thinking anti theft)
