Ninebot Max G2 First Ride & Impressions

[@SuperemeRed]

@Ginger On Wheels - When you unlock Sport Mode you also have manually raise the speed to the new unlocked top speed in the sub menu.

[@mechaghost]

Funny thing about this is my commute is from Redmond to Bellevue and my biggest fear has been that hill at the start of 520. At first I was like cool someone from the area is actually going through the 520 trail, then you over heated on the giant hill! Shouldnt be a problem for me as that would be only about 1-2 miles away from the start of my commute and I’m somewhere south of 190 lbs. Thanks for sharing the video and maybe I’ll finally join the Seattle electric ride you guys always do!

[@minimoose9834]

best video by far, love the intro

[@bluesjuggler8291]

Thanks. I am about to purchase one for myself. I like the brand and the quality. And 20 is fast enough for me. I am cutting down on the gas consumption. Use for work and cruises. Just makes sense to me. I am 6'4 at 240. And I do not want to bounce off of the road. Just seems safer. And I can satisfy my need to carve whenever I want to. Thanks for the video.

[@Doorass-uu8nv]

So how do you like the scooter being a taller rider? I'm the same height and weight and I'm thinking about buying this scooter

[@Chris-dx4mf]

I’ve been looking forward to your video on this for a month. I wanna hear about all the mods and different ranges depending on speed modes and all that jazz. Thank you for what you do!

[@1wor1d]

6:09 I believe that the mudguard/fender is extended out and therefore higher is to reduce it scraping when going down steps or gutters when you go down from the footpath to the road.

[@TsunamicBug]

looks like i'm going to have to hold off for a revision or two, hearing about all of these issues

[@Joey22688]

To unlock 22mph, uncheck speed limit, put the scooter into S mode, go into settings again and enter "custom settings of sport mode", move slider to 22mph.

[@bright6200]

I can not get the 22 mile option to show up

[@Joey22688]

​@@bright6200did your scooter include a US plug and an EU plug? It worked fine for me, some people reported that they had to ride it in S mode first and hit 20mph before they were able to see 22mph

[@gi169]

Awesome video Mr. Wheels, always good to see new stuff on your channel.👍👍👍

[@MisterSoul2008]

I have had the Segway max G2 for 3 months now and have driven 1,130km with it. In principle it is quite good, unfortunately there is no power for steeper gradients and mine is throttled. The suspension is sufficient for commuting to work. The light at the front is far too dim. Instead of the horn, I installed a very good bell and cell phone holder. Otherwise he's really cool.

[@JoeU2Bee]

😉👍 Great review. Thank you for sharing!

[@VladPayne]

Right of the bat, I've noticed that the EU version has a rounded plastic/shroud covering the front wheel fork (US is square-ish and lower profile). In some regions they have good options that are excluded in EU - rear brake light behavior, no cruise control (major issue for me), max speed 25 kmh (less of a problem, as I still think it is a bit weak for 35+. Looking for how to enable the cruise control without flashing it. Changing region in the app did nothing. A hazard I've noticed is that if you set the regenerative breaking to max, then it slows down really fast if you release the throttle, but the brake light does not light up until you touch the lever. Headlight could have been a 0.5 watt brighter. Projecting distance of it is ideal (xiaomi missed that placing it too close)

[@Elscooter-geekout]

Cool video, good information, and the scooter is awsome to ride : )

[@LukeTPZ]

It’s not really an extended fender, rather a licence plate mounting point for some overseas markets.

[@rafakropacz3731]

The longer rear fender is for your license plate - not for better protection from water

[@sticker144]

Then they would only offer it on the D model for Europe. It’s also to prevent it from catching on curbs.

[@GingerOnWheels]

You mean this license plate? instagram.com/p/CuodlTtOpUv/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[@car_tar3882]

@@GingerOnWheelsin europe they have small little square plates with 3 rows of three characters

[@braydencannon5735]

Has anyone shortened theirs to mitigate that?

[@burnedfrys1556]

y would u add a iicence plate for a 22mph scooter

[@tonyheisenberg7587]

Hi can you provide more info about the speed VS charge, because on G2E version (with changed serial so it's unlocked) once the battery is at %50 we are back at 25kmh (VS the 35KMH top speed) . And there were speculations that there is difference in the motors.

[@RoyalTeaLegion]

Had they fixed the rear fender issue from breaking off yet? I see it's still made from plastic and not reinforced with metal

[@Henrybram]

Range test in rain like the first one😊

[@rarbiyoutube]

12:44 Sorry but it seems to me that the rear shock absorbers are not hydraulic! But they are adjustable

[@8_x_9.]

Yes,just only adjustable spring suspensions. Would be great with hydronic ones.😊

[@kataishungry]

Can this Max G2 be upgraded with 48 V Max Pack? Tutorial pls

[@tomgodwin1886]

Yes it can, however you need to change the dashboard, dash cable and controller 👍🏻 atm I am running a G2 @ 72V

[@DestinyJohn-rp6hu]

Were are ur other scooters ,kaboo wolf king and d rest.

[@border411]

I have since returned 2 of these. 1 damaged in transport, and 1 that even when updated to the latest firmware (1.4.4), had an overheat issue, as well as "ghost braking" that almost locked up the rear tire going down a hill. Yeah... Hard pass for now. Now I have to find something else that is around/under $1000 that will do what the G2 did. Thoughts?

[@simesimicevic8713]

Xiaomi 4 ultra? I am also afraid of the g2...

[@sigurdhvidsten7581]

The NIU kqi-series has been great for me at least.

[@TimsElectric]

Nicely done Ginger, good to see they upgraded it version to version. The indicators and suspension are a sweet move in the right direction. Do you think it made it up your hill because it was warmer?

[@guyplay]

Anyone know if it’s possible to add an additional pad/cover for the deck. I’m looking for additional comfort and shock absorption

[@8_x_9.]

Yes.I have done it on the UNAGI escooter.~70% better on my feet!!! It's a dark grey packing dense foam,about an inch thick.You'll love it.😊

[@Ace-Brigade]

Not sure how else to reach out to you but I'm in Federal Way and purchased a vsett 10 plus when I saw your videos. I have less than 100 mi on it though and the back brake seems to be quite squishy. I have bled the brakes and I have even tried the top off method where I try to pull all the air out of the top of the brake system. I was hoping maybe you could give me some advice on how to fix this?

[@GingerOnWheels]

I'm guessing you didn't bleed the brakes properly. I've tried before where I didn't run enough mineral oil through the line and it was still squishy. I just recently did a full bleed on my scooters. This kit and the instructions that came with it were all I needed. amzn.to/3renYxW

[@Ace-Brigade]

@@GingerOnWheels thank you I used the zoom kit as those are the brakes I have. I followed the video on Rev rides's channel. Do you know how much fluid the entire system takes? I'm thinking that maybe if I push the entire volume worth of fluid through it will work.

[@GingerOnWheels]

@@Ace-Brigade I think the whole line uses about 1.5 tubes of that mineral oil stuff. Just keep pushing oil through the tube, in through the bottom and out the top, eventually you'll push that air bubble out.

[@Ace-Brigade]

@@GingerOnWheels so I just tried putting through 3 and 1/2 the full syringes of fluid try it all the tricks like squeezing the lever and putting suction on the syringed pull the air out which pulled quite a bit by the way but I am still stuck with squishy brakes. Can you recommend a good service center around here?

[@realityvlogs6413]

Ok i have this scooter i have it on sport mode i set the speed correctly to go max it only goes 10 miles per hour on flat ground really annoyed and it like dose not wanna exceed 10 like its mental set is 10 mph how do you fix this on the app i set the max speed to 22

[@elvisperhati7387]

Hello, can you do a full review of Kugoo g5? Bearly can find any any youtube

[@NeverEnPassant]

How would you compare the suspension on this scooter to the rubber torsion suspensions found on Inokim or Dualtron scooters?

[@321backlip]

Hi Ginger I was wondering what's your opinion on the Daultron Speedway V, have you ever road it?

[@wahidmardan]

I have question which you might possibly better answer. The voltage of this scooter is 36 while NIU KQi300 X series (which you might know is a new series) has 48 voltage. On the other hand, Max G2 has two suspecions while KQi300X has one in the front only. What side is more worth to consider?

[@8_x_9.]

SUSPENSIONS...😊

[@rodlevin5615]

I absolutely love this new max but am very dissapointed with the range i get from it.

[@2GR4L]

Do you still have the S2 Max? Can we get an update on that if so? Would the Max G2 be a worthy comparison?

[@GingerOnWheels]

S2 max and g2 max hardly compare. The build quality on the Segway is much better. It's bigger, faster, much better suspension, turn signals, better app. But it also weighs more, g2 max is 53lbs

[@Jlui83]

This or kqi3 max? Kqi3max is $750 right now. I have the kqi2 pro. But looking for a little more pep!

[@GingerOnWheels]

They seem very similar, but I'd go with Ninebot just for the brand reputation/availability of parts.

[@ivanbilandzic6571]

No cruse mod on mine?Eu..

[@okdok3742]

hey man, u think u could some reviews on higher end scooters like maybe the teverun fighter supreme, dualtron x ltd, thunder 3 etc etc. like something along those lines? ur reactions when riding those things are hilarious man especially the fidico and weped ones lololol.

[@NathanTheNinjaTaylor]

Has anybody figured out how to rename/nickname the scooter in the android app?

[@MetalthinkerYT]

Where are the blinkers behind? I can't find any photo or video showing them. Makes no sense to have them only on thej handle because no car behind is going to see them...

[@GingerOnWheels]

There aren't any on the rear. It's a good point though that it could make you hard to see from behind. I think the rider would have to be pretty side to block both of the blinkers...

[@Ga7cun7sSUCK]

They are on both sides of the hand grips you can see them easily from a car

[@HotSizzleTV_]

Do you have any deals for this scooter?

[@GingerOnWheels]

Unfortunately I do not.

[@anonymoususer13666]

'RideyLONG' lol

[@Dronex258]

Hey buddy, i have scooter which is a 52v one with 18.8 ah battery and thé default cutoff is already set to 43v but my scooter dies when it reaches around 50v 😢 I don’t why? Do you know what would be the problem?

[@bimicka979]

Avez vous une perte de puissance avec batterie à 50%?

[@WELCOME.6565]

I thought he fell off 0:51

[@coupish]

G30 is $300 cheaper is it worth it over this?

[@reempire888]

Not sure about the last gen but the max g2 has a 450w brushless motor. Brushless motor has more power and it's more efficient = uses less energy.

[@pauliusb]

Guys, you also find this scooter useless on any slope higher than 13%?

[@comepuchas990]

2.4.24 😮

[@GingerOnWheels]

That's today.

[@joseluisruiz3789]

I experienced my first (HI) Temp warning on the display of the scooter, which caused my Max G2 to stop running at a slight incline. Before that I was able to ride it just fine on a flat surface. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I was not able to check the temp from the app at the time the warning happened. It basically went back to normal after 1 minute of resting and then i was able to proceed to ride it like nothing happened. The temp said 34C, which is 93F on the scooter. The motor in the rear felt very hot to the touch. The outdoor temp was 69F but humidity was 68% i got to ride it on a flat surface for about 4 miles before the overheating temp warning came on. Any advice would be appreciated. By the way my weight is 260lbs, yes im aware that i am 5lbs shy off the max payload. 😅

[@johnstover4584]

Make sure regen brakes are down low and don't have it on the 22mph speed all the time. On really steep hill don't full throttle for along time. It will start tugging from it trying to work real hard. Don't coast down hills just slowly throttle down hills. These are things that helped for me.

[@khalid-rq5bc]

This or hiboy s2 pro?

[@NathanTheNinjaTaylor]

oh god do not buy that trash, buy the max g2

[@TsunamicBug]

Just wait, there's a bunch of issues plaguing the g2 atm

[@NathanTheNinjaTaylor]

@@TsunamicBug still none aside from that I got hit by a car that decided to plow through the bike lane so it's a little bent Even still, works great

[@TsunamicBug]

@@NathanTheNinjaTaylor But people have reported overheating issues and issues with ghost breaking or acceleration, so I might get it but I'd rather wait a few months

[@NathanTheNinjaTaylor]

@@TsunamicBug ok, I'm telling you that my experience is hundreds of miles without an issue though

[@DestinyJohn-rp6hu]

Do u buy this scooter?

[@clevesland8753]

No u steal em

The scooter brand that made ye famous ginge

[@clydeklotz314]

People thinking about getting this scooter....please save a couple hundred more and get the Emove Cruiser. Way better scooter for not much more. Just my Opinion. Another great review GOW

[@teddy_123.]

Yo yo yo yo yo

[@mikksaia8373]

hello

[@marshapelo9830]

Too bad its still a 36v system. Not 48v. Disappointment really.

[@rayreese7285]

Hi Ginger , should 300lb people just forget the scooter game ?.Thanks in advance.

[@sticker144]

Depends on the scooter. If so you should opt for something with more power. I’d look at the VSETT 8/8+

[@joseluisruiz3789]

I hope you dont mine me chiming in but im 330lbs and i bought this Max G2 scooter and though its only been 1 day since i bought it, its been doing great. I did have to harden the suspension in the rear but this thing takes off quick! I would get it if i were you. i am not proud of being 330lbs but this scooter is doing great so far. As for range since i used it for about 30 minutes i did notice a bit of speed reduction from 22 to 19 which is what the display said but it was also 82 degrees outside, as for range i havent tested it yet to see how far i can go with 1 charge being a heavy guy like me. Im also 5 feet 7 inches tall and notice that the scooter is a bit on the tall side but not a deal breaker for me. I got mine at bestbuy. Hope my honest feedback helps.

[@sticker144]

I’ll have to get the scooter. Sounds really good

[@JakeRandolphMarketing]

Yes you need to be walking

[@stanblade7942]

Why are you keeping riding the scooter, I can't see anything about it?! I don't care about your road/street views!😪

[@joseluisruiz3789]

I just picked up mine today from bestbuy. Im loving the scooter so far. There are a couple of small things i didnt like immediately after powering on the Max G2. 1. You CAN'T turn off the headlight and leave the rear tail light on to save a bit of power and use a brighter external headlight, its not a deal breaker but i feel being able to turn off the headlight separately from the tail light would help with battery life a bit even if its just an extra mile or two, Range is important. 2. Nowhere in the manual does it tell you that in order to remove the 20Mph limiter on the app, you need to set your scooter to Sport mode, then on the app you can select custom speed adjustment for sport mode and then increase the soeed from 20Mph to 22Mph. By the way double pressing the power button on the scooter is how you switch speed modes. 3. To pair the scooter with the app after plugging in the scooter power cable to charge it, you need to press and hold the power button on the scooter to pair it to the app via bluetooth. Nowhere in the manual did i see this lol! It took me a bit to figure it out. But i agree with the review this thing takes off and im extremely happy with it, i may consider getting that extra battery pack later on.

[@heinrichthumling5471]

The fender ist not a design gimmick or longer because of more protecting…. its because of holding the insurencelicenseplate in the eu
