Mower or line trimmer for this 30 m² council lawn strip? Any recommendations? Would a Ryobi 18V line trimmer be powerful enough if it's kept trimmed regularly? I already have an Ego 56V multi-head, so I could buy the line trimmer attachment for around $300, or pick up a Ryobi 18V line trimmer for about half that. I also already have a Ryobi 18V 4Ah battery. This is the only grass I need to maintain, as I don't have any other lawn on my property. Which option would you recommend?

I need to replace about 1m² of laminate flooring around my kitchen cabinets. The flooring was obviously installed after the cabinets.

What's the best way and tool to cut the replacement wood planks to fit? My current thinking is to use a circular saw (or maybe a cutoff tool) to cut the planks to length, then use an oscillating multi-tool to undercut the cabinet kickboard so I can slide the new planks underneath.

Is that the best approach, or is there a better method or tool you'd recommend?

The marketing shows it cutting wood, but the manual doesn't specifically mention wood as a recommended material. I have seen quite a few people say it's not really designed for wood and is better suited to plasterboard, sheet metal, tiles, masonry, etc.

I only need to cut some 10mm wood flooring planks, and I'm considering buying one because it seems like a versatile tool I could use for other jobs around the house.

Has anyone used it on wood? How did it do and would you recommend it?

I need to replace about 1 m² of damaged wood flooring (around 8 planks). Some of the cuts will need to be trimmed to length and shaped around corners.

What's the most cost-effective way to cut wood flooring for a small, one-off job? I have a Ryobi 18v 4ah battery but don't currently own any power tools that can do this, and I'd rather not spend hundreds of dollars on a dedicated floor cutter. However, I'm happy to buy an affordable tool if it's the right option for the job.

Was thinking either a 18v brushed jigsaw or a brushless cutoff tool.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Picked up a few cheap accessories from AliExpress. Some are basically Segway copies, like the mirrors and front bag, but they work well and cost about half as much as the originals.

The 2L bag fits a tyre pump and a few tools, but not much else. Looking back, I probably should've gone for the 3L or 4L version, but this one gets the job done.

The cable lock is original Segway. It's lightweight and handy for quick trips into a shop. The U-lock is from AliExpress, and honestly the quality seems pretty decent. It's solid, has a rubber coating so it won't scratch the scooter, and comes with a holder that mounts to the stem. The only catch is it's only just big enough to go around the neck of the scooter, and it can be a bit short for thicker poles or some bike racks. I'm not sure how good it is, but I don't plan to leave the scooter unattended for more than 5min.

What other useful accessories have you guys added to your scooters?

Can someone explain what I’m looking at here? Wrong answers and mildly concerning answers encouraged.

I really like the Segway handlebar turn signals — they are bright and super easy to see. But the buttons on the Max G3 are a pain to use. They sit too far away for my thumb to reach comfortably while riding, to the point where I barely want to use the signals anymore.

Has anyone modified theirs to use better buttons, like the GT3S ones? Cheers.

Hi everyone, planning to stain about 25m of fence and just wondering if this sprayer will do the job or if it’s more for paint only? Never done it before — do I need to back brush after spraying? Any tips appreciated. Cheers.

Just bought the Max G3 yesterday and took it out for a ride today. Does this battery usage sound about normal? Did 23km (14 miles) and had 25% battery left.

I'm 76kg (168lbs), riding in Sport mode with max speed unlocked to 45km/h (28mph). Was on full throttle whenever I could, but obviously slowed for curves, pedestrians, traffic lights, downhill sections, etc. Moderate hills along the way. Mostly shared paths so not much stop-start riding.

Regen was switched around depending on the situation (off while cruising, on downhill), and tyre pressure was 48 PSI.

Just had some landscaping done around the yard. Do I need to stain the bare timber parts like the turf edging, raised garden beds, and planter boxes, or will they be fine as is? Just wondering if they will rot out over time. Cheers.

Planning to rebuild my second-floor deck. The plan is to use Garapa for the decking, steel beams and posts for the structure, and aluminium balustrades.

Just wondering. Should I stain the Garapa, or can I leave the hardwood natural? My previous deck needed staining every two years and honestly it got pretty annoying.

Also, what do people prefer for balustrades — black or white? Cheers.

Just sold my 60v Klima because it was too heavy, bulky, and a pain to carry around. I wanted something smaller and easier to deal with, and was about to buy the Max G3… then I saw this pic and realised it's actually pretty huge. For reference, the one on the left in the pic is a Xiaomi Pro 2. Now I’m wondering what the point is lol. Any Max G3 owners here — how portable is it really? Does it fit in your car easily or is it still a hassle?
