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- Superseded by the Max G3, so discounting is erratic
Segway Ninebot Max G30LP: the case against
- CPSC recall (March 20, 2025): the folding mechanism can fail while riding; free maintenance kit from Segway, 800-914-6110, service.segway.com/recall
- No suspension
- 220 lb rider limit; the F2 allows 265 lb
- $799.99 is $100 above the F2, which has the same 367 Wh and a front disc
- Tubeless but not self-sealing, so a puncture still means a repair
