r/ElectricScooters

I recently had the pleasure (?) of changing a rear tire on a brand new Navee G5 Max. For a bit of context, I have been fixing E-scooters for about 4 years now, I have changed hundreds of tires on dozens of different scoots. All makes and models. The Navee G5 is by far the worst.

Most scooters have a drop out built into the swing arm, this allows the axle/motor assembly to be removed quite simply with two nuts. Not so on the Navee G5 Max! You have to remove the swing arms completely from the frame.

In order to do this you must first remove a plastic shroud which covers the bolt that holds the swing arm to the frame. There are 5 small phillips screws. Three or them are accessed on the top of the scooter underneath the trailing edge of the rubber floor board. The other 2 are located underneath the bottom electronics cover. The bottom cover has at least a dozen screws, the kickstand AND two "Warranty Void if Seal is Broken" stickers.

Friends. You cannot change a tire on the Navee G5 Max without voiding your warranty.

The people have a right to know.

I will be making a black and white custom for my kukirin g2 2026, however i have no idea how to paint or get rid of the orange parts on the deck, ive tried using black spray paing but it turned all rubbery and peeled off. Somebody help me !!!

I just bought it recently on Amazon but can't find many reviews of this online and the reviews on Amazon got mix up with a bag for some reason

My ninebot E3 pro is in service

I got a segway ninebot E3 pro recently, did 51km of road in 8 days total. We decided to go fishing with my friend the other day( he had his own bike ) and I only had time to charge it until it was 75 percent. Now, I'm 60 kilograms and we used a straight bike lane continously. Normally the packacing says 40km range with 25kmh speed so even if I used sport mode the whole ride it shouldve lasted 30 km, more realistically 25km or a little more according to my calculations, but after using the scooter for 11 kilometers, it ran out of charge on the way back home. I was and am pretty convinced there is a problem with a scooter so I demanded a refund. What do you guys think? Will I get a refund or nah, or maybe its my fault in some way?

Got this ninebot by segway, that makes this noise while braking and accelerating. Doesn’t go fast either and it has a full battery. Any ideas?

Had a hiboy S2 for a little over a year and finally bit the bullet to get a better one. Came across the Backfire M8 in my research and bought one. For the price it has a crap ton of options so i was sold on that.

I have only ridden it around the local park near me but man this thing shits on my old one lol. Plenty of power and very stable going 25+MPH

Also purchased a Bell Qualifier full-face helmet for protection. And a set of riding gloves. I love this thing and can recommend it for anyone looking to get an awesome scooter under $1000.

Zesty made a post the other day with a video about an old-timey scooter the military had developed. It sent me down a little bit of a rabbit hole.

I know that law enforcement in different countries are using scooters and I figured modern military would be as well. But I didn't know the extent of it and how HUGE their scooters are.

This is just an example of one company that's making the scooters I'm sure there are others.

But I also didn't know the extent of the use of stand-up scooters for industrial settings as well. Pretty cool. Check out this website:

Best part u can even charge my scooter. Yayy

I’m having an issue with my Dualtron City scooter. For a while now, as soon as I turn it on, the EY4 display shows a flashing red indicator on the first battery bar, along with editable numbers above the "range" label and just the voltage reading—but no speedometer or anything else. I’d really like to know if it’s possible to get rid of this, as I can't use the scooter.

I need to find a replacement charger for a scooter my neighbor left behind. I am not sure what kind to buy since I keep getting mixed information online. If you can, please post links of where to buy one.

Thank you

Current setup of my Ausom L2 Max Dual Motor. I recently took a cool photo of it. I got it in August 2025 And have a bit above 3800km on the odometer (which is a lie since this scooter's screen shows speed and distance almost 14% higher than the true speed).

I went thru a few tires and installed a bunch of upgrades, including grip tape, street tires, wider handlebars, grips, 4-piston NUTT hydraulic brakes, G2 Master fenders, a G2 Max taillight and recently also a mirror and a remote speed limiter. Around 1000km I sealed the screen with glue because humidity was getting inside it forming water in the screen. I also have some turn signals and a headlight that I haven't installed yet.

The scooter is holding up quite well, with the only long term issue being rattle in the suspension caused by worn out bushings and shaft, but I think this was caused by a production mistake because it had a little bit of up and down play ever since it was new. But I haven't noticed any range decrease, it's still fast and the suspension got softer with time so it's soother than ever

This is a machine which brings me much joy!

I finally got a evening ride in before it got too cold 😁
