Optisches Tuning MaxG3

Was haltet ihr von optischem Tuning für E-Scooter?

Ich habe in meinem Leben immer wieder den Drang dinge optisch zu ändern, umbauen oder anzupassen. In diesem Fall musste mein MaxG3 dran glauben.

Ich habe mich für das Theme „Senna Lotus“ entschieden, da ich dieses Fahrzeug schon als Kind besonders fand. Ich weiss das Grauschwarz müsste ganz glänzendes Pianoschwarz sein um genau zu sein, aber dafür hatte ich bisher keine Zeit.

Dazu gekommen dind nur 140mm Rotorscheiben, Sturzpads und ein kleiner Spoiler am hinteren Schutzblech der als Spritzschutz dienen soll.

Für den die einen völlig unnötige Zeitverschwendung, doch für andere ein Hobby.

Zeigt mir eure umbauten.

Walk mode zero start is GONE!

Hello,

I purchased my G3 MAX about 13 days ago.

Since the very first day my Ninebot was able to zero start in “walk mode” but not in other modes.

By googling I learned that zero start is not available in EU. I thought OK, maybe it is available only in walk mode because the limit is 5Km/h and it helps me starting in an uphill or in traffic when a car stops in front of me. Cool!

And then MAGIC!

Since yesterday, a few hours after last update, my scooter won’t zero start. I can’t start in uphills, I can’t start in traffic (I constantly go park to the side of the road to let all cars go). I almost fall of the scooter the first time I found out.

some times doesn’t even start in 5Km/h when I kick start it. That experience sucks Segway.

Woke up to my scooter constantly beeping and not turning on

Hi, sorry to crash the sub so suddenly. I woke up to my scooter constantly beeping like it's sounding an alarm. The screen won't turn on. It was in my hallway folded up, not charging, all night.

I may have abused it to death tbh. I left it outside for a week or so in the sun/rain. Also left it in my trunk for a few days.

Pressure on the screen made the beeping stop temporarily but then it started up again. I can't connect it to Bluetooth either.

Is there anything I can do to fix it or is it a goner? I feel so bad :(

Ninebot Max G3 walk mode

Hello guys. I have installed my max g3 in Germany. Before the update, I can go in Walk mode and drive from 0 to 5 kmh. Now it is not working anymore. Only when I push to 4 kmh it work. Is that a bug or what is that?

In the latest firmware, it was not part of the firmware.

Can I patch back the firmware? That is anoying. I use the walk mode to push the scooter up on ramps.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Constantly hitting potholes

I bought a max g3 for 750 about 6 months back. Been using it daily pretty much since then. Probably 14 mi a day on average. I live in Denver and the streets are horrible. Sidewalks are sometimes even worse and definitely less predictable (especially at 28mph). Random holes in the ground or insanely uneven grounds come up too quickly, and I'm typically in a huge rush. But, point is, I tend to slam into a lot of potholes. Yesterday, I MAJORLY slammed into one at max speed. On a sidewalk. There were too many people around for me to pull over and check it out..I'd have been embarrassed. Lol. But I pulled over a block down, inspected it.. and it's totally fine. Checked on it today before and after work, still totally fine. No damage at all. Scared it's gonna catch up to me somehow? lol.. anyone have experiences similar? What happened to your max g3?

Ninebot Max G3 (Italian Version) Update (Tuned with SHU)

I recently got an external battery for the Ninebot Max G3 I. I’ve been having some charging issues, despite having almost brand new firmware. My scooter now has an american serial number (changed with Scooterhackingutility) and there’s a new update out. Is it safe to download and will it affect my tune? I’ve already updated earlier with no issues. Will this help my charging issues?

MAX G3 UPGRADES/MODS

Looking for Mods for My Segway MAX G3

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some cool mods/upgrades for my Segway MAX G3. I’m mainly looking for things that improve the look, performance, comfort, or overall experience.

Preferably, I’d like to find them on Amazon, just because it’s easier for me to order from there, but it doesn’t matter if they’re from somewhere else.

If you have any recommendations, links, or mods that you’ve personally used on your MAX G3, please let me know! Thanks!

$150 Segway Mileage Club coupon suddenly became invalid, anyone else?

I redeemed 4,500 Mileage Club miles for the $150 MAX G3 Plus coupon. It worked when I tested it, bringing the current $1,150 price down to $1,000.

Now that I have the money to buy it, that coupon says “invalid”, even though it still appears as Available and Permanent in my Segway account.

I've called and emailed Segway support 3 times with no resolution, 10 days and counting... I also found another MAX G3 Plus customer reporting a very similar issue on Facebook.

Has anyone else experienced this? If anyone from Segway is here, I'd really appreciate some help getting the coupon restored before the sale expires in a few days.

Screenshots attached. (Coupon code hidden.)

New brake on Old Fork

Is the original ninebot max g2 fork compatible with the new 2025 updated drum brake? I have the new drum brake and cable, I'm planning to just saw off (if possible) this metal piece on the fork holding the old brake cable, which I'm going to remove.

I just want to make sure the old fork is compatible. I'm not against buying a new, I'm just curious if the old fork is compatible.

edit: I'm thinking I should be good to go if I cut off the metal tab carefully as not to stress the part that mounts to the wheel, and then reseal with black paint to avoid rust. Will probably just go for it and and test.

Do you actually need 72V and dual motors, or are we just paying extra for bragging rights?

I think I may have misunderstood 72V scooters.
I used to think 72V was basically just an excuse to make a scooter faster.
But the more I look into high-performance scooters, the more I’m starting to think that’s an oversimplification.
If you aren’t using the extra voltage to chase top speed, what does 72V actually give you in real-world commuting?
Better hill climbing?
Less voltage sag?
More headroom?
Better performance with heavier riders?
Or is the whole 72V thing mostly marketing?
I’d genuinely like to hear from people who have owned both 52V/60V and 72V scooters.
What did you actually notice in daily riding?
I’m much more interested in real-world experience than manufacturer specs.
For normal commuting, what does a 72V dual-motor setup actually give you that a good 52V/60V scooter doesn’t?
