Segway Ninebot F3: the case against
- 44-mile claim is more than double what 477 Wh realistically delivers
- Eight-hour charge is slow for a daily commuter
- Rear suspension is a rubber damper, not a spring or hydraulic unit
- Smaller pack than the Max G2 it is often cross-shopped against
Segway Ninebot Max G2: the case against
- No mechanical rear brake — front drum plus regen is the entire system
- 53.5 lb makes it a scooter you roll, not one you carry up stairs
- Riders over about 180 lb in hilly terrain report roughly half the claimed range
- Six-hour charge without the optional fast charger
- Superseded by the Max G3, so discounting is erratic
