Ninebot Max - What I Dislike about it!

[@Saltermedia]

Mate if you download xiaoflasher app and then connect the scooter and literally change the region to us and the top speed is unlocked to 30kph. Iv just bought one and done it 👍

[@TheWannabeGeek]

haha, thanks Salter, that is exactly what my next video is about. thanks heaps for stopping by and commenting. I have a further tweak to add to it as well. thanks again.

[@Saltermedia]

@@TheWannabeGeek brilliant ill definitely watch. Good videos man keep them up👍

[@TheWannabeGeek]

awesome. thanks Salter. keen to get your feedback. next vid due in 48hours. 😊

[@sinandennir]

is is effect guarantee if I do it

[@jasonweston5687]

Yep and loose your warranty, not worth it unless the device is over 1-2 years old or you happy to waste $1000 if something fails.

[@Kepe]

Some counterpoints to your dislikes: 1. How many ppl actually use multiple phones and keep switching between them constantly so that they'd have a different phone with them each day? You're a tech review dude, but 99,9% of the people aren't. I would consider this a security feature more than some sort of a limitation. If someone logs in to my account, I'll notice it on my phone because the app logs me out. It also provides more security if you let someone try/borrow the scooter and you log them in to the app with your credentials on their phone. You just log back in on your phone afterwards and that other person gets logged out, no chance of anyone "borrowing" the scooter without your permission afterwards. 2. The 25km/h limit is a legislation / regional limit. The Max G30 is limited to 30km/h in some other regions. 3. Of course it weighs a lot since it has a massive battery pack and the charger is built in. This thing is perfect for people with a bit longer commute (10-20km) and for those who want to do longer recreational rides. For a

[@Kepe]

Also, please turn down the background music, it's kind of difficult to listen to what you're saying with the music going on. And the intro music was atrocious, I could barely hear your voice over the music.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Haha. Thanks for the feedback. I think you must have totally missed the point. It amazes me how people write comments like this. Lol. I'm not sure what the intent is, as I did make it clear that these were absolutely scrapping the barrel for what I dislike. The weight of it. It's not an issue. I am very cognisant of the battery. Seriously. This is fun for me. Not because I am a KZbin tech reviewer. I'm here to have fun. But again thanks.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

@@Kepe absolutely agree. I have adjusted this in subsequent videos. Now, this comment is a valid comment which is valuable. Your other comment was a waste of time! The comment RE volume and music. 100% valid and appreciate this sort of feedback.

[@carbrickscity]

For me: 1. Weight 2. Pneumatic tires (I prefer solid) 3. The need to unlock/register it from the app before first ride (most scooters don't) 4. No suspensions 5. Price (Constantly stays at around $900 and never have discounts) 6. Could easily reach higher speed but capped at 18.6mph from the factory 7. Annoying speed alarm at 22mph 8. No zero start

[@cenk82]

"Heavy is good, heavy is reliable" mate.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

I don't disagree Cenk. I need the heaviness and strength to carry my size. It was the best I could do to bring up the things I dislike most. 😊 Thanks for watching.

[@cross.x.2305]

Keep the audio consistent and make the music volume lower pls

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey there. Thanks heaps for your feedback. I have bought myself a new mic and it is so much better in subsequent videos. Thanks again for stopping by. 😊

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Yeah the Music was Blasting Loud, and the Speaking was barely audible in comparison.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Yea, true. Thanks for the feedback. I have made sure that I get my music lower and audio up. Thanks for stopping by.

[@hikemoreh96pro]

for me the weight is not a problem. I would love it with 20 more pounds if they can double de range and add more torque for ascent

[@TheWannabeGeek]

I do agree. It’s just more so taking it three flights of stairs at the office can be a pain 😀 thanks for watching.

[@TravisMCP]

Always great to hear the good and the bad!

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Thanks Travis. I didn’t want to make a “negative” video, however wanted to highlight that it’s not just bias to one way, as much as I do love this thing. Lol.

[@richardcrosland5609]

So you have two devices and one logs the other out...seems more like good security to me...and such a 1st world problem 🛴🤣

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Haha Yep. Like is said. Just the inconvenience. Lol. It’s not a security issue. The security is covered by both Samsung and apples security. And of course it’s a 1st wold problem, aren’t most of our issues in the world these days first world. Lol. Thanks heaps for watching. 🤙🏼😊

[@Cars_with_max]

Cant wait to get my ninebot max for my birthday

[@TheWannabeGeek]

You’re going to love it. Have fun

[@Cars_with_max]

@@TheWannabeGeek my birthday is in may so I’m super excited 😊

[@daviddavids5088]

Just Bought one The Power Button stuck Inside the casing Took it Back Afther 4 hours Getting New one Today Had to wait 5 days

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Not good at all. Hopefully you new one doesn’t have any problems. I love my Ninebot. It’s had to have some maintenance done on it. But it is great.

[@ChrisDietz9174]

My dislikes about my same exact Electric Scooter is the battery. It runs out soooooooo Fast. I'm not sure if its because I accidentally overcharging it. Possibly. Since I hate having to babysit my electric scooter to make sure its not overcharging.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey there Chris, I would suggest contacting Ninebot about the issue, as I am not having that issue at all and mine are always on charge. All the best.

[@jiteshmaneklal9470]

whats it like riding on grass and offroad?

[@TheWannabeGeek]

No worries at all. Not preferred formme personally. But it will handle it ok.

[@regwatson2017]

I agree it's a weighty little bastard but I am not sure until battery tech improves if there is much they can do about that as I reckon most of the weight is in the lithium batteries. If you want the 65 klm range then its a trade-off.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey Reg, thanks for watching. Have to agree. The trade off is worth it. 😁

[@christopherrajaratnam3013]

hey mate could you do a vid about accessories and future tire replacements? been riding for about a good 2 months now and was seriously wondering what to do incase of a puncture!

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Great idea Christopher. I will get on to that one as well. I like it. Thanks for reaching out.

[@junaaaoo]

Love your content! Have you ever tried the kugoo g max? I’m between that one and the ninebot g30 max (despite the app problems) haha

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey there, thanks so much... Glad you’re loving it.. I haven’t tried it. I personally would still go for the Ninebot max for myself, the rear wheel motor is what I prefer. Have fun with choosing. All the best.

[@TechnologyLowdown]

That scooter looks pretty awesome, nice images too! It looks like you're from the Wide Bay-Burnett region of Australia, my parent's live down that way at the moment, I prefer being further North though. Thanks for the follow, I've watched some of your content and I like your style. Thanks for the subscribe as well. I do like finding other Australian KZbin content creators.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey hey. I am in the widebay Burnett region. Apologies for taking so long to respond. Pls feel free to reach out. I am keen to catch up with other creators. Especially ones in my own back yard. Lol. Great to hear from you.

[@wakiarnoldbanks417]

Hello. I just purchased the ninebot max but I got a notification that said *built in battery temperature sensor error, please replace battery* what’s this supposed to mean I’m freaking out and I need your advice. Thank you

[@TheWannabeGeek]

So sorry for the late reply. Are u having the issue still?

[@xscoobykingy]

Australia limits the speed of all scooters sold locally to 25 kilometres an hour.

[@JoeriQuiksilver]

Nice videos, awesome editing! I just ordered my scooter, its going to be a long weekend.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Haha. Thanks heaps Joeri. It will be a long weekend indeed. But worth the wait when you get it. You will have a so much fun with it. Thanks for subscribing. I really appreciate it.

[@memorymuncher2738]

Is that a picture of the world's trade centre on your wall?

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey there Memory Muncher. No, it's actually an image of an old sugarcane mill where they refine the sugarcane. This is in the town I grew up in which was heavily resources by the sugarcane Industry. Looking at it from this Angle in the video, it does look like the world trade centre though. Sad day in history.

[@Bergwacht]

LOL dude....

[@JamesAngeloTV]

sir what is max speed of ninebot max?

[@TheWannabeGeek]

I currently get 30km/h. Looking at other hacks at the moment though. I have a video on how to hack your Ninebot if you want to watch that one. 😊

[@JamesAngeloTV]

wow thats ins interesting sir

[@TheWannabeGeek]

@@JamesAngeloTV hope u like the hack one.

[@AnthonyBackwoods]

Did you know there are two apps on Google Play? Just click the manufacturer on Google Play and you see the other one.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Thanks Anssi, I will check that out. Are you using it yourself?

[@AnthonyBackwoods]

@@TheWannabeGeek I'm using the 5.0.2 app version which is the newer one. I got the link for the app from a QR-code in the manual. The link leads to app.ninebot.cn.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

@@AnthonyBackwoods Awesome. Thanks heaps for sharing. I'll check it out.

[@itslancetime4172]

Another great Max video.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Thanks Lance. Glad you enjoyed it. Working on doing a range test. Anything else you would like to see?

[@IROC-ROB]

Sounds like the Pro is a better option

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey. Thanks for watching. Sorry about the delayed response. Your message was in my spam folder for some reason.

[@nickscheber1421]

Great video, but who did not hack firmware by DaddyNord? :) You will have completely different impressions of this scooter, and also, new content :)

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Thanks heaps for the advice Nick... I'm going to look into that one 😊

[@Bergwacht]

Nr.1 I dont want to use the app. Nr.2 there is custom firmware and + a 3s4p battery this thing is fast as hell.(on 48v) Nr3.I would remove this stupid folding mechanism completely if I could and i cont care about wight. Looks like its the right scooter for me😁

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Fair enough. The weight is only an issue tracking this up three sets of stairs. Lol. Bit the weight is good for the robustness. Thanks for watching. 😊

[@Bergwacht]

@@TheWannabeGeek I once broke the folding mechanism of the m365 while driving (bloody hell), and a few months later now the frame. Big, heavy and stable are now my biggest purchase criteria: =) abo ist raus.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

@@Bergwacht that SUX when things break. All the best.

[@jaz21-e9w]

Bro, u don’t have 65 km of range. That range is tested in a controlled enviroment that has the perfect condition to do so.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

No. It won’t go that far. It’s the advertised range.

[@sebasrojas00]

OMG how can you say this is the Tesla of electric scooters? Have you even heard of the brands Dualtron or Speedway (just to name a few)? Do some research before saying such statements! And by the way, with the money you spent on your overpriced and overrated Segway you could've bought a Speedway Mini 4 pro that has a 500w motor and a 48v battery (vs a 350w motor and 36v battery). The difference is like night and day.

[@222RaJe]

Pedestrian mode doesn’t work on mine... Anyone who has the same problem? 🤔

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Hey there RaJe. Interesting you say that. I had the same problem the first time. I deleted the App and power cycled the scooter (restarted it 🤓) it has worked fine since.

[@222RaJe]

The Wannabe Geek Thanks for your quick response! It becomes even better. I tried as you told. Still doesn’t work...when I’m on it. When I start it, wait till cruisecrontol goes on and hop off I can feel it pulling. When I stay on it it stops. I’ll have to lose some weight maybe?! My Max gives me a message 🙄

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Haha, I can feel your pain on the lose weight. I am in the same boat. I am about 240lbs or 110kg so it is very slow starting. But works on smooth flat surfaces. Have a fantastic week.

[@ByTwistie]

Bad review the scooter isn't heavy at 18.7 kilograms. Maybe start lifting wannabe geek

[@ByTwistie]

It is the most lightweight scooter and this guy is talking about it's heavy is beyond riddiculous to me.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

😂thanks yogiboy. Noted. I’ll start lifting 💪💪💪 Thanks for watching.
