As eScooter technician since 2018 I learned a lot and want to share my knowledge with you to help you avoid common and costly mistakes. I also want to share my view of some new eScooters on the market since I look at them a bit different way than most people. When it comes to eScooter my biggest concern is build quality over speed and range. I post when ever I can and when I have useful topic to discuss so consider subscribing and turn on nortifications to be informed when ever I post new useful and informing video. All info I share in my videos are my own experiences and opinions. If you have any questions or suggestions for future topice share them in comments section and I'll do my best to include them in my coming videos. Apologies for lack of perfect production but I have almost no knoweledge about video editing and consider info in video more important than production.

Hi! I am from Quebec in Canada, and I have been driving a Nami Burn-e 2 Max since September 2022. From mid-November to mid-April, I cannot drive it given our harsh winters in Quebec. So I drove it for between 12 and 13 months in total. I take it to work between 3 and 5 days a week depending on the temperature. The distance is 25km one way, so 50km in total! I have exceeded 8000 km with it and it is still going strong. I only changed the tires (once) and the brake pads every 2500km. I weigh around 110kg with my helmet and equipment, and she doesn't care at all! It's a real beast! I drive at an average speed of 40 to 60 km/h. Obviously, sometimes I push it a little more... 😉 On the Gilles Villeneuve circuit (F1 race) in Montreal, I reached 95km/h at my weight. I do 0/50km/h in 3 seconds, it's killer! The battery has not yet lost autonomy. At the speed I'm driving and the mode still in X mode, I do around 80km on one charge. It would be better if I drove more peacefully. For those wondering if it is waterproof...I got caught 4 times in fairly intense storms and I never had a problem afterwards. The controler is better on the Nami, you can go smoother on starting if you want but not with the GTR. Very impressive as a machine, and very reliable to date. Not the case with the Wolf King. It's next level! Team Nami! 👊😎
THROTTLE ONLY 20 KMH??????????????????????
Yeah, thats what I got.
I updated the throttle on my nami with the polish finger throttle. Much better!! When im hoping over small bumps i jave my thumb securely around the handlebar. Tough to lift the scooter with stock thumb throttle and its sketchy at higher speeds imo.
Yeah, stock one is nightmare, to be honest.
wow, u had all of that on your moped and they still tried to steal it? what country are you in?
Dont buy this. This is coming from an owner of this scooter and i say its not worth it. Just save some more money and buy the normal version
Yes, lite version is always cheapest and comes with smallest battery pack.
it depends, the scooter is great if u dont use it for long distance but to short is great
I put 1K miles on my G30 over 2 year and then nervously bought the G2 a few months ago. It took a few weeks to get used to the shorter deck (I'm 6'2") and the added height, but I very quickly loved it. Now when I go back to the G30 it feels like a child's toy! I never felt that way when I had it, but there is no turning back for me. The added range and 22mph is just so close to ideal that I don't feel there is anything better with the same reliability and those amazing tires that set your mind at ease. I just wish I had another 2-3 inches of flat deck to stand on :)
Yeah, I like it too but don't like problems with front suspension.
bullshit laws, everyone will be trying to pass you at 20kmph and 400w is too low for heavy riders
I absolutely agree with you.
Hello! Is there enough space for an extra internal battery ?
I dont think so, but a custom-made battery could fit in easily.
di questo problema me ne sono accorto ancora prima di provarlo la prima volta, esce così di fabbrica
TOP
Thank you.
Very helpful video
Wow.. respect 👍
Is there any way to fix error code 14 permanently ?I tried to tape the wire and connector, but still happening !! Thanks for the reply😢
Do you have Max G30 or max G2? I never heard of error 14 happening on max G2.
@escootIreland my is g2...just got it....
Error 14 on old max was throttle error. I can't find the error code list for G2. If I do, I'll update you.
@@escootIreland thanks
i dont care what anyone says. when it comes to scooter vs cars - scooters will always lose. scooters are most dangerous to pedestrians and the rider themself.
50kg eScooter at 25km/h will stop faster than 2 ton car at 100km/h especiallywith learnner driver who is not experienced and might panic. That was my point.
Brother please answer. This is for Scooter. Is there a fast charging adapter? If so, which model?
Xiaomi Mi 4 lite 2nd gen has a battery of 221Wh and charges in 8 hours. Its a budget eScooter so there is no support for fast charging.
I mixed up specs of 4 lite and 4 lite 2nd gen so answer is edited to add accurate info. Sadly budget eScooters dont support fast charging only Xiaomi 4 Plus and 4 Max support fast charging.
michael sha shadowbanned me from the official facebook group about a week after i purchased and joined for pointing out the flaws i saw. specifically, how not waterproof some of the areas are. for being 'the ferrari of scooters' its kind of sad you cant ride it in the rain.
Yeah, he cant take any criticism or negative feedback. It would be interesting to see his block list.
Some scooters have design issues, mine stem cracked two times and I sold it even tough it is another brand, now got a small one (max speed 45 km/h) but for city ride its fine and it is LG cells which IMHO is the most important feature to have reliable battery.
Stem cracked two times? Oh, wow. Hope youre fine. Thank you for information shared.
In my opinion they're not even in the same class. It's like comparing an off-road vehicle with ground clearance to a street car.
Partly, I agree. GTR is for sure off-road eScooter, but RS has height adjustment, so it can go off-road too. This video was made just if someone was thinking which one to buy to have a comparison in place.
Hız limitini nasıl değiştirebilirim?
Sorry, but I dont understand the question.
by the way in additon to my first comment also consider the braking of the front wheel it will really moved that front shock structure if the scooter is running fast and an abrupt stop or brake it will create a sudden impact move to the hydrualic shocks and front fork.
Yeah, every bump, pot hole and braking will impact front suspension and over time that movement can increase. I will be keeping an eye on what will Ninebot-Segway do about it. SO far theyre saying its ok.
hello i have the G2 and checked it and mine has it too but it does not move that much just so little movement, i guess all scooters with suspensions has it like a tiny play movement, as for the -0 on the panel and the blinking tailight the scooter is locked against theft and can only be control by your friends Segway app on his phone he needs to unbind it from his phone so it will be free to use. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the information provided. Yeah, it looks like all of them come with play. Some more, some less.
Listen I have just checked mine in same position mine have 800 on the clock and absolutely 100 percentage same backslash like in your video, pretty sad but what to do 😢
Yeah, unfortunately, as far as we know, they come like that out of the box. At least that's what we get reported in comments. Hopefully, this video gets attantion from Ninebot - Segway, and they decide to do a recall or something. Thank you for watching and the info provided.
For now it’s only 2 ways keep it like this and drive with stock suspension until it will collapse or install custom monorim front suspension that is perfect decision for that model or of course it’s possible to sell it and buy more reliable g30p, anyway it’s various of options, I think Segway will fix all of this issues in next LCI model of g2 as for me it’s really strange why whey did all of this issues with suspension when previous model was the best scooter in the world 🤷♂️
@dimaaasik_91 I was an official seller for Monorim for Ireland, and I have to admit Monorim is not that great brand.
@@escootIrelandОк which custom suspension can you recommend for g2 ?
@dimaaasik_91 Sadly, I still dont even owe one, so I can't test it out. This was my friends eScooter, and I needed to return it back. I will be looking at what's available out there.
I love mine
Agree. Its still on my favourite lits.
@@escootIreland I think I'm gonna have to swap the tyres out, Ive started to really push it lately and see what it can do and it's really holding up but could definitely use thicker treads
How'd you upgrade wheel size ? Is it an easy retrofit?
@markscott684 yeah. I used this tyres: amzn.to/4cvkl9B
they have an orange threadlocker now - 3x stronger than blue but still breakable with hand tools... i used it on all my steering stuff, brakes, etc. also used it on the wheel lugs.
Orange or red tread lock?
@@escootIreland orange :), red needs heat to be broken, the orange does not. red is still the strongest
hi, after watching the video i am still unsure how to check for aluminum stem. someone in Name facebook group told me that if your inner rod is black you have the aluminum stem but i am still unsure. please help. thanks
Yeah, so if you look from the bottom and your rod (middle circle) is black, then it's aluminium. I'll post a picture in my community tab.
What is the Milage on your scooter ?
At the time of recording, it had 500km on the clock.
Pretty strange, mine has 800 km and no any malfunction except a little bit backlash when I turn a wheel in stand position to the left and right )
And I forgot it’s tuned and Max speed on mine is 45 km
Good comparison and I would agree with your analysis, but I would add that Niu should feel safer for an average user with better lights and slightly bigger wheels and more stable deck (with tape instead of rubber). While overall F40 seems better indeed, Niu scooter offers more value - I just ordered one for my girlfriend from official producer website for just 324 euro... That's much lower than I'd have to pay for F40 and I am getting 2 years of EU warranty for a piece of mind too. So I'd say for better bang for your buck - check Niu
same problem
I'm sorry to hear that. Seems all of them come with the same problem.
@@escootIreland they do 100%
@hokuspokus11111 thank you for that info.
Hi guy , did you know how to remove speeds limit
Unfortunately, there is still no option to remove the speed limit as far as I know. If there will be a way, I'll make a video about it.
Greetings! What do you think about the Inmotion Air Pro? I heard the handle bars break (thin metal), but aside from that, it’s supposedly a solid scooter. 🤷♂️
Inmotion overall has really good products and this is the first time I have heard about problems with them. Inmotion as a brand is on my buying list.
I just ordered the Circooter Mate. In the app it has a gsp location and you are able to use a lock feature in the app as well 🎉 check them out! Thanks for the video 😊
Friend, you said so many bad things about the Kugo/Kukirin brand, and you caused most of the problems yourself. Not a single electric scooter up to €1,000 is waterproof. I assume that the electric scooter is stored in the garage during the winter, and you do not maintain the battery properly. Tires and brake pads are ridiculous to mention. It is a consumable and manufacturers save on it. Many cars leave the factory with bad tires, so the owner buys better ones. Yes, the screws should be tightened on all electric scooters. Most of us solve this problem by putting lock-tite glue on the screws and they no longer come loose. Four of my friends have had Kugo and Kukirin models for more than three years, over 3,000 km and have had no problems. They drive on the road and off-road, uphill and downhill. That was the reason I bought Kukirin G2 Pro a couple of months ago. I have almost 1000km on it and everything is still original, no knocking, no problems. If you are looking for a el. scooter that will withstand your climate with a lot of humidity and rainy days, then open your wallet, take out €2000-3000 and buy the "real thing". Even then, you cannot be 100% sure that water and moisture will not cause problems.
everyone got this play. Doesn't seem to affect the riding. I got more than 2000km
Thanks for that info. At stock speed Im pretty sure it will last quite a while. With unlocked speed or field weakening unlock, Im not sure. Also it will depend a lot on roads and riding style.
Please can you tell you have 2000 km does this backslash can have to worry about, I have the same as on the video, mine g2 have on 5th July 800 km, I’m already have thoughts to sell it and buy more reliable g30p or Xiaomi ultra 4 )
All of these scooter you are have a problem...
Sorry but I dont understand comment. Not all eScooters have problems but problems are topic rarely discussed on KZread. There is much more content praising eScooters than talking about problems expect people looking for help.
And kugoo g2 master wath you think?
Kugoo used to do pretty bad eScooters for a long time. Their layest models finally look better. I might make a video about it if I get my hands on one of them.
I see you got the information about the PIn code and motion alarm, another feature, you get 4 way flasher if you press twice on the directions...good for visibility when passing close to parked cars.
Oh, that's some good info. Hopefully, they'll sort out the suspension issue because I really like it. Thank you for the info provided, watching and leaving a comment.
It overheats quickly, why is this?
One reason can be too low tyre pressure because deflated tyres cause higher resistance, and both motor and controller are struggling much more to keep eScooter moving. That's also one of the common reasons for overheating.
@@escootIreland As far as I know, it can be inflated up to 3.5 bar. We have this value I don't know what the problem could be
@adamarany-toth7586 if tyres are properly inflaten then bèst is ro brimg it to technician to have a look at it but I assume it should still be in warranty so just bring it back to seller. Doing diagnostic via comments can take forever.
Thanks for the help. Since I've only had it a short time, it's hard to tell if it's bad or not. I'll ask and give it to the experts to see if they know more
If I ordered this scooter and it arrived with the play, I would not be happy at all
Based on some comments, it comes like that out of the box. I'm quite surprised no reviewers noticed it. But I did notice a bit of a wobble but toughy it's because of the road. Never even thought it could be a manufacturing/design issue.
Wow! I'm so glad I dodged this model and took last summer the Xiaomi 4 Ultra and I'm autumn the P65E. Until this day I got ~ 4000 km combined with 0 issues. Keep up the good work and the good information for all us out there. God bless you
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. If you know anyone having Ninebot max G2 or planning of getting one, please share it with them.
Hi i am planning to buy the 4 ultra,what are your impressions about it?
@steve-132 I didn't try 4 ultra, but Navee S65c is basically the same eScooter, and I love it. Only down side is that it's a bit heavy and bulky. Everything else is perfect.
thanks
👍
So, the -0 thing is not an error, it is the screen where you enter your 4 number pin code using the combination of direction light switch + brake or horn button. It is actually really good and useful when the battery of your phone dies so you cant use the phone to unlock the scooter. Your scooter has the sound alarm disabled as it would be beeping really loud with its horn if you tried to move it in that state and flashing lights. The suspension thing is like that when you buy it (I own one from a batch from the end of last year, im in Europe), it seems to be by design so it can properly engage with the the rest of the "fork shaft" when you stand on the scooter or hit a bump. I have about 500km on mine and a lot of it on rough dirt terrain and it is fine for now.
Thank you for the info provided. Unfortunately, it's not my eScooter, and I couldn't find info about "error -0" before publishing the video, and the user manual isn't with me.
@@escootIreland No problem my dude, glad I could help out. If your friend remembers which 4 digit password he set up in the app, you just need that to unlock it and use it again. Maybe there is some default pin that is set up from the factory, I am unsure of that and cant check the manual for you atm.
@pawnyexpress eScooter was shipped to him the other day, so hopefully, he will get itnsorted out. Thank you so much for the info and help.
Pin code and motion control can be set in the app under additional settings.
Maybe you can test with the suspension loaded, I think this type of suspension by design will have play unloaded (no weight)
Unfortunately, all scooters of this model have this defect. Even when they are new. There is a solution option, for this you need to replace the front fork with another one with a different design
Thank you for the info. Ill update video description.
I think it’s an option to change it instead to sell it and buy another one, for me g2 it’s really amazing scooter if not to bother on front suspension)
Thanks for explaining design problems in front fork of Max G2. I believe front suspension was not properly designed and potential consumers should think twice before buying such scooter. I have ninebot MAX G30P and to make scooter softer I installed fork with springs. After about 150 km. I lubricated the fork inside, added rubber gaskets under the springs, covered the nickel-plated surfaces with pair of motorcycle Front Fork Gaiter Dust Covers because they are too low and after each trip they need to be cleaned of dust, dirt and lubricated. Scooter become 15 - 20% softer with much better impact on front wheel bearings.
Yes, I absolutely agree, and that's why I made a video about it. As I always say that if I spot something or change my opinion, I'll always post an update. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment. Feel free to share it if you know someone who has it.
Dude! speed? GTR all day long over the RS. ESG proved. What did you base that on?
Yes, GTR is faster, but for racing, RS is better. Even ESG took RS on the race event. I addressed that in video description.
Hi do you know how I can change the motor please?
Motor replacement shouldn't be hard at all. It's quite a simple job, but make sure you get the original motor with correct wiring. I might make a video about it but on a different eScooter.
@@escootIreland thank for your reply. Actually, I received the motor part from the reseller 😉
@fiudad unfortunately eScooter is not with me, but you remove stickers on rear side covers, screws will be either hex 2.5 hex or Phillips. Make sure to use the correct tools. Next it to loosen nuts on the wheel and, of course, to open battery cover. Battery cover will be tightened with hex 2.5.id like to make avide obaout it but unfortunately I dont have eScooter with me anymore
@@escootIreland lovely ! Thank you for your help ans reply. I will try it. Have a nice day!
I'm facing over heating over playing for short time
Overheating? Are your tyres properly inflated?
@@escootIreland yes 50 psi
Do you think rear motor differ from front motor scooters in the matter of over heating? My child friends have other mi scooters lite 3, when they play together mi 4 liter second generation start indicate over heat and 3 lite doesn't
@yalsayed85 no. Motors should be the same. The only difference is that more weight is always on the rear wheel, and with that, it's less likely to slip. It should have slightly better torque and better range per charge.
@@escootIreland yes I know, but my inquiry is about over heating because of more weight on the rear wheel
Troubling theft of getting knocked off scooter then stolen… perhaps a wired tether cable that detaches & shuts the scooter down when u are physically separated from the scooter.. else have a permit to carry… ha ha .. just kidding..😂
Youre close to good solution. Im working on something close to that.
very simple. take it with you everywhere you go. it will be gone when you get back.
Agree, but some places dont allow eScooters inside, unfortunately.
