Ninebot by Segway eKickScooter Max G3 specifications and in-depth review

Ninebot by Segway eKickScooter Max G3

Manufacturer: Ninebot

The Ninebot by Segway eKickScooter Max G3 is a full-sized electric scooter built for riders who need both range and durability in a single package. It features 11-inch pneumatic tires, front and rear lighting, and a folding frame that keeps it reasonably manageable despite its 24,600 g weight. A dedicated smartphone app adds connectivity, and the built-in suspension helps absorb uneven road surfaces. Notably, the scooter is not designed for children and does not include a seat, positioning it firmly as a standing adult commuter vehicle.

On the performance side, the Max G3 runs a 2000W motor capable of reaching 45 km/h and tackling inclines up to 30 degrees, with a maximum rider weight capacity of 150 kg. Braking is handled by both front and rear systems, and regenerative braking helps feed energy back into the 597 Wh battery. That battery supports up to 80 km of travel per charge and replenishes fully in around 3.5 hours, though it is not removable. The scooter carries an IPX6 ingress protection rating, indicating strong resistance to high-pressure water jets.

Pros
  • The 80 km maximum range per charge makes it suitable for longer commutes without frequent recharging
  • An 11-inch pneumatic tire size combined with built-in suspension helps absorb road bumps and uneven surfaces
  • IPX6 water resistance rating means it can handle heavy rain and high-pressure water exposure
  • Both front and rear brakes are included, along with regenerative braking for improved stopping control and energy recovery
  • A 3.5-hour charge time is relatively short given the 597 Wh battery capacity
  • Foldable frame adds portability, and the dedicated smartphone app extends usability beyond basic riding
Cons
  • At 24,600 g, the scooter is heavy, which limits how practical folding and carrying it actually is in daily use
  • The battery is not removable, so the entire scooter must be brought to a power source for charging
  • The scooter has no seat, which may cause discomfort on longer rides
  • A single motor handles all propulsion with no dual-motor option available
  • The 1,218 mm width when unfolded may make storage or maneuvering in tight spaces more difficult
Who is this for?

This scooter suits adult riders looking for a capable daily commuter that can handle longer distances, given its 80 km range and 597 Wh battery. The built-in suspension and 11-inch pneumatic tires make it reasonably comfortable on varied urban surfaces, while the IPX6 rating means it holds up in wet weather without much concern. Riders who need a connected experience will also benefit from the dedicated smartphone app, and the 30-degree climbing angle makes it a practical option for routes that include moderate inclines or hilly terrain.

Who is this NOT for?

At 24,600 g, this scooter is not a good fit for riders who need to carry or transport it frequently, such as those combining it with public transit where lifting is required. The absence of a seat makes it poorly suited for people who need to cover long distances in comfort or those with physical limitations that make extended standing difficult. Additionally, since the battery is non-removable, users without convenient access to a power outlet near their parking spot will find recharging impractical. It is also not intended for children, so households looking for a shared family option would need to look elsewhere.

The Max G3 has a standing-only design — it does not include a seat and is not intended for children. It weighs 24,600 g and folds for easier transport or storage, measuring 1,299 mm in height and 1,218 mm in width when unfolded. The scooter rides on 11-inch pneumatic tires and features built-in suspension to help smooth out road imperfections. Both front and rear lights are included for visibility, and connectivity is covered through a dedicated smartphone app. Weatherproofing is handled by an IPX6 rating, meaning the scooter can withstand high-pressure water jets from any direction.

Performance:

motor power 2000W
top speed 45 km/h
has dual motors
climbing angle 30°
has a rear brake
has a front brake
maximum weight capacity 150kg

The Max G3 is powered by a single 2000W motor — there is no dual-motor configuration — and reaches a top speed of 45 km/h. It handles inclines of up to 30 degrees, making it capable on moderately steep terrain. Braking is covered by both a front and a rear brake, and the scooter supports a maximum rider weight of 150 kg.

Battery:

charge time 3.5 hours
maximum distance per charge 80 km
has a battery level indicator
Has regenerative braking
has a removable battery
battery size 597 Wh

The Max G3 is equipped with a 597 Wh battery that supports up to 80 km of travel on a single charge, with a full recharge taking approximately 3.5 hours. The battery is not removable, so charging must be done with the scooter in place. A battery level indicator keeps the rider informed of remaining charge, and regenerative braking is supported, allowing the system to recover some energy during deceleration.

Final Verdict

The Ninebot by Segway eKickScooter Max G3 is a well-specified adult commuter scooter that makes a strong case for riders prioritizing range and all-weather reliability. Its 80 km maximum range combined with a 3.5-hour charge time and IPX6 water resistance rating give it a practical edge for daily urban use, while the suspension, pneumatic tires, and dual braking system round out a solid riding experience. That said, its considerable weight and non-removable battery mean it asks something of the rider in terms of storage and charging convenience. For adults with a fixed charging point and regular longer-distance routes, the Max G3 represents a technically complete and dependable option within the electric scooter category.
