Electric scooters have rapidly become a staple for urban commuters and eco-conscious riders seeking efficient transportation. Among the innovation leaders is Segway Ninebot, long admired for its performance-driven products. Their Max G2 model ranked high among top-tier electric scooters, offering incredible range and smooth performance. But as the saying goes, “Good things must evolve,” and Segway Ninebot has done just that.


Enter the Segway Ninebot eKickscooter Max G3, the powerful successor to the G2. Building on its predecessor's legacy, the G3 offers more power, speed, and battery life with cutting-edge technological upgrades. Here’s why the Max G3 could become the ultimate game-changer for commuters, tech enthusiasts, and eco-conscious riders alike.

Power and Performance: A Leap Forward

The Max G3 is a powerhouse designed to elevate your riding experience. With a 2000W motor, it packs a 28 mph top speed and 30% incline capability, allowing you to conquer steep urban roads and hilly terrains easily. Whether navigating the streets of San Francisco or tackling everyday city commutes, the G3 ensures stability and efficiency.

Its Boost Mode, designed for rapid acceleration, sets this model further apart. Imagine going from 0 to 15 mph in just 2.4 seconds. This makes darting through intersections and tight city turns achievable and genuinely thrilling.


Why This Matters for Commuters


  • Speed saves time on daily routes. The G3's ability to reach 28 mph puts it on par with small electric mopeds.


  • Climbing power enhances versatility, allowing scalability for routes deemed too steep for standard scooters.


If your demand is performance without compromise, the Max G3 is engineered for the task.

Range and Battery Life: Go Farther, More Conveniently

One of the standout features of the Max G3 is its industry-leading range, thanks to the combination of Segway’s innovative SegRange™ technology and its robust 597 Wh built-in battery. With a single charge, riders can go up to 50 miles. This makes it an excellent choice for longer commutes or riders who want to skip frequent charging cycles. (Note: The scooter has to be ridden in ECO mode at 10mph to achieve this range)


For those who need even more endurance, Segway offers an optional external 460Wh battery that extends the range to an impressive 84 miles. The external battery is designed for versatility, allowing it to be charged separately, so there’s no need to tether it to the scooter for every charging session. (Note: The battery will be available for purchase later this summer)


Dual Charging Convenience

Segway introduces dual-input charging, which can reduce a full charge time to just 2.5 hours when using a DC charger (sold separately). Alternatively, the built-in fast charger prepares you to ride in just 3.5 hours. Fast charging is beneficial for professionals who need their scooter ready quickly during a busy day.


Key Takeaway

Whether commuting to work, running errands, or exploring your city, the Max G3’s unmatched range, combined with quick charging, opens up endless possibilities.


Built to Last: Design and Durability

Segway ensures the Max G3 isn’t just a high-performing scooter but one designed for real-world durability. The 11-inch self-sealing tires are a standout feature, offering increased traction and versatility across rough or wet terrains. Punctures up to 4 mm in diameter are automatically sealed, giving peace of mind to riders who traverse unpredictable surfaces.

The dual hydraulic suspensions enhance this durability, offering a buttery-smooth ride even on rugged paths. Whether cruising through pothole-ridden streets or cobblestone walkways, the G3 ensures comfort without compromising control.

Reliable Water Resistance

Another robust design element is the G3’s IPX6 water resistance rating for the scooter and IPX7 rating for the battery. Light rain or occasional splashes won’t hinder its performance, making it a reliable companion in various weather conditions.


Robust Frame Meets Rigorous Testing

The lightweight aluminum alloy frame is built for strength and stability. Segway has rigorously tested the G3, subjecting it to over 500,000 suspension durability tests and 12,000 miles of simulated random vibration tests, proving its long-term resilience. It's suitable for many riders with a maximum payload of 286 lbs.


Summary of Durability Features:


  • Self-sealing tires for enhanced lifespan


  • Dual hydraulic suspension for a smoother ride


  • IPX6 water resistance for robust performance in light rain


  • High-strength frame tested extensively for reliability


If dependability matters to you, the Max G3 ensures every component meets or exceeds expectations.


A Smarter Riding Experience

Segway leverages cutting-edge technology in the G3 to make every ride smarter and more intuitive. From trip navigation to real-time battery life updates, the newly integrated dashboard provides essential information at a glance. Riders can also track their scooter via Apple’s Find My network, providing extra peace of mind in case of theft or misplacement.

The Segway Mobility App adds even more value. Riders can customize their scooter settings, including unlocking it via Bluetooth, activating auto power-off when folded, and even uploading custom sound effects for added personalization.

Most importantly, the improved stability enhancement system (SegRide™) ensures braking efficiency and high-speed control. Whether navigating sharp turns or wet surfaces, the G3 delivers impeccable stability for confident riding.


Safety On Your Mind?

Riding at night was never so easy with a bright 6W headlight and LED underglow ambient lights that allow for increased visibility. Did I mention the headlight is automatic and will turn on depending on the lighting conditions?

The Segway Max G3 electric scooter also has a rear brake light and turn indicators for safety.


In addition, riders can quickly check their battery level on the 2.5" Smart TFT display or through the app to plan their routes accordingly, ensuring they never run out of power during their journey.

From its more extended range and faster top speed to its durable, ergonomic design, every aspect of the G3 is built with the rider in mind.
