The media could not be loaded.

This is my first E-Scooter purchase. I was in the market to buy one for a while but setbacks kept me from making the purchase. I researched tirelessly until I realized it's best for me to try and ride one for reference. So I saw Unagi has a rental service and I rented a Model One. It had dual motors for hills which I thought was necessary for hill climbing on my commute. While the scooter was decent it lacked suspension and the solid and tiny all rubber tires just made me come home with achy knees, ankles, and neck. The stem wobbled and just felt like it would eventually break. So I thought I needed a dual motor full suspension scooter which tended to be the high-speed ones that cost over $1200. I went to test drive a bunch that went over 30 MPH. They were all heavy and I knew I couldn't have something over 60 lbs and they were just too much power for me with jerky throttles. Then the G2 came out and I watched reviews and saw that this was considered a huge upgrade from the very popular G30 Max that I saw everywhere because of the suspension. So I took the plunge and ordered the G2. I absolutely love this thing. Tubeless 10" air-filled tires, check. Hydraulic suspension in the front which tends to be found on scooters way more expensive WITH dual spring adjustable suspension in the rear, check. Solid build quality with a manageable yet enjoyable commuter-friendly top-speed, check. Solid wobble-free stem at top speed, check. It has great torque and acceleration and on every hill, I've tried it on on your usual NYC streets, it handles with ease going faster than even the dual-motor Unagi at an average speed of 17 MPH. The brakes are good but I'd recommend setting the regen electrical breaks to medium to assist. I've had no high-temperature failures like some have mentioned nor any of the other programming bugs others have also mentioned. I believe the Universe made sure that I didn't purchase a scooter I'd regret buying and made sure I waited for this perfect scooter to come along. The ONLY issue is the weight since I have 6 flights of steps with my top floor apartment but the trade-off with the suspension is worth it. I have no pain in my body after riding this scooter around for even long rides. It just glides over everything. It is the absolute best way to get around NYC and I find myself not wanting to drive at all. It has transformed my Summer as I can easily explore my neighborhood and others close by with ease and comfort. The G30 Max is a legend but they say once you've had a scooter with suspension there's no going back and I can tell you for sure that is very true. Spend a bit more money (if you can) and get the G2 over the G30. Your joints will thank you, believe me. If you are over 200 lbs I'd recommend waiting until Segway fixes the issue with overheating since it seems like this happens with heavy riders since its max weight limit is 265 lbs. This is all the scooter you need for daily urban commuting with all the potholes, road cracks, uneven pavement, and hills like in NYC.

Alright... I’ve got my Moroccan Mint Tea, sitting back, and trying to recall all the mental notes I’ve been making, and after a month, I’m ready to proffer a preliminary review for you.

Out of the box & assembly: I’m sure you’ve seen the horror stories here. Gotta say, I was nervous. First impression, not overly impressed with the packaging, presentation, and wasn’t at all sure I was the first to see this scoot. Upon further, and painstakingly close inspection, I was convinced that I was the first to see this particular scoot, but the packaging (while unimpressive) fulfilled its role of protecting the unit.

Assembly: Very easy. Intuitive. Hardware was sufficient and all components (including brakes) seemed properly adjusted. I had absolutely no issues with any aspect of assembly. Very pleased.

First ride: Full disclosure, first time ever on a scooter. I’m 5’11” 204# and been on a LOT of fast two wheel vehicles (BMW 1200 Sport, Indian Vintage, Kaw Vulcan, Triumph American, Harley Road Glide, and my GF’s Vespa). Not since that damn Vespa have I felt so ill at ease on two wheels. Fortunately that was a fleeting feeling made better by the unusually wise decision to not go flat out as fast as possible just starting out.

I found the deck very narrow. That took some getting used to, now I wouldn’t want it any wider as I love the small storage footprint.

With a little experience: After about 40 miles on it I can say that the three solid Pros are 1) longevity of charge 2) sturdiness of the unit (no small plus) and 3) the controls that turn on the unit & switches modes is very user friendly.

Some Cons that while I’m not happy about, we’re not enough to lower my rating. 1) The “headlight” is crap. Only because at a leisurely speed you are easily out driving your visibility. Order a new headlight now! 2) The thumb throttle seems like someone’s idea of a bad joke. After going for about 10mi or so, that little insult wears thin. Meaning I find it uncomfortable and begin losing feeling in my thumb. I have to see if that thing can be adjusted to start higher. 3) Would it kill the manufacturer to have a chip in the controls that would convert from metric to US Standard for speed & distance?! It’s 2020 people! There are toys that have this convenience! 4) The charge cord, in my opinion, is too short. Most people probably wouldn’t have a problem with this, but my outlets are higher than most and it’s an engineering marvel what I have to do to get the scoot up to the outlet.

Other comments: The ride can be jolting. Know this going in. Meaning if you travel on cobblestone (or live in NYC or Chicago where road repairs is a distant and fond memory told to you by your grandparents) you are in for a very jarring ride. The App is not very intuitive and certainly not robust. In fact, for some unexplained reason, more times than not it seems to believe I flew in a straight line from some random point in my trip back home. Yeah... that could be better. Finally, according to the documentation, this can’t get wet. No rain, no puddles. This, for me, is something I think I’d have liked to know before the purchase & would be my biggest issue since there’s no work around. If you know of one, let me know.

FYI, I didn’t get this for a daily commute. I live on a sail Cat and I needed a mode of transportation that could store small, fit in a dinghy, and have a fairly long range if needed. This was the best option for the price and that wasn’t in some way new or experimental.

Bottom line: If the operating parameters matches your use, I’d say go for it. I’d recommend it, and in fact, we may be getting one for my wife.

You may want to consider the following accessories: 1) Get the headlight 2) maybe a strap/should sling. I also got 3) a little bar that mounts on the handlebar so the headlight and 4) phone mount will fit. 5) and a little bag to carry a lock, the cord, & stuff. (That oddly was waterproof)

UPDATE 2/2021: I did end up getting my wife one & she loves it! They improved the Bluetooth link that brings every aspect of initial startup process to near perfection. While I only intended to use this while at foreign ports it’s simply too much fun and way too easy to use for local errands and getting about.

I bought this early December. I broke my elbow on the 8th, and it arrived on the 9th. D’oh!

I was concerned because of the reviews I read, but now that I’ve been riding it for about a month, I can easily say, “This thing is AWESOME!!!”

The turn signals are bright af, you can customize most everything in the app. It consistently goes 22 mph (I don’t weigh much) and does better on hills in San Francisco than the ride share scooters!!

The main stem is very tall, & it’s rock solid. The shocks work wonders, and are even fun as I bounce while going over bumps.

My only complaints are the buttons for the turn signal & horn. They’re small and I’ve seen another G2 at the gym with missing turn signal buttons. Also, the horn should be as loud as the movement alarm. Well, it’s San Francisco. No one pays attention to horns anyway. Be it from a scooter or a fire truck.

All in all, I’m super happy with my purchase!!

SCROLL FOR THE UPDATE

These scooters are AWESOME! My girlfriend and I needed a reliable way to get around a 10 mile radius and these things DELIVER!

WE weigh120 lbs, and 145 lbs depending on the time of day and we have gone 40 miles so far on them.

Initially we out them together and CONNECTED the wire that I read to do and everything went smooth. When she turned hers on everything was great just a beep to connect the phone. Done.

Mine was a different story that I didn't think too much about. When I turned it on I got "Error code 14" and I didn't know what it was so I just flicked the throttle a little and it went away and I thought "hey, it's a safety to check the throttle everytime you start, no big deal." I was WRONG.

We took them out around 3 p.m. after they fully charged and we started off in EVO for about an hour to get a feel for them. They are GREAT! The little torque in ECO put a smile on my face. If you want the 40 miles? This is THAT mode. But at 10mph max speed in this mode it'll take a lomg time to get where you going. The otherside is you will be SAFE. It is a GREAT speed to cruise at!

Then we found our way to a long stretch of decently FLAT ground and decided to turn up the heat to "D" which adds MUCH MORE torque and maxes out the top speed at 16. This REALLY put a smile on my face. We buzzed for about two miles then took a break to check the scooters for looses screws, any problems, fragments in tires, just trying to take care of them. Then my error code 14 came back again when we stopped.
I then then thought "man, they want you to flick the throttle every time you stop? That's kinda over kill". So then I ask my girlfriend if she has that problem and she said she didn't so I thought it was strange...

We then continue our journey, once again not thinking about it and go about our day. We rode up and down neighborhoods, buzzed up and down streets, and just had a GREAT time. And after about 16 miles we went back home. And not another problem.

The NEXT day, we go out and we fire up sport mode feeling a little peppy, and this is where Inalmost lost a tooth grinning...the torque...alone...will make you smile...this thing is fantastic. I top out at a steady 19 mph, and run on flat ground at 20. This is better than advertised but also scary. Bumps really make you question if it's worth getting there quick. But a flat straight line I say GO FOR IT.lol

This...is where the problems really started. We were about 6 miles away from hoke when the error 14 came back. And everytime I would left off the accelerator, the 14 would happen and I would have to flick the throttle. The motor then started to cut out on me when I would hit the break and 14 would pop up CONSTANTLY letting me know that it really WAS AN ISSUE. We knew we needed to get home so we immediately venture that way and boy it was a struggle. I went from LOVING the thing to womdering if I was going to make it or have to kick it home, which is NOT THE EASIEST as the motor worls against itself slowing down.

After about 31,942 error code 14's home, we made it. Hers didn't act up once.

We allowed them to cool for a half an hour and charged them back up and tested them and the code was still there, but the MOTOR wasn't cutting out, so it must have been a heat problem? Which is weird because we weren't doing anything the scooter wasn't DESIGNED to do. So THAT makes me nervous.

But I comtacted amazon and we recieved a NEW scooter, and I just put it together and we do NOT have the Error code 14 out of the box, and everything is fine. So far. I will update this in time and date it so you you will know.

Should this deter you from buying one? No. Absolutely get one, if it's mechanical it is going to fail. I just think there might be a design flaw because I am not the only one with the problem...lol

But my buddy came over last night who weighs 220 pounds and he kept up a 19mph speed average on flat ground. So if you're in that weight range or less, go for it. You will love it. Seriously.

I'd say Eco with no hills? 40 miles easy. No questions asked.
Mode D- 30-35 miles with slight hills
Mode S- 25 to 30 miles with some hills.
But a guranTEED 30 without hills in anymode. But we weigh less so just do math. Haha

I was gonna take a star away, but amazon helped me get a new scooter QUICK, and the old scooter was DRIVEABLE just a pain at times. So we'll see what happens!

July 22nd, 2019

So we have had these scooters for a month now, and with it raining and with life changing, we have only put on 400 miles on these guys.
The next problem we had was my girlfriends scooter kept beeping when we would take it out on a fresh charge. Thought something was wrong but we discovered it was TRYING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY so it was BEEPING to let us know it was full. We noticed it left after about 5 minutes of riding so problem SOLVED!

We got steanded in the rain TWICE. No problems. Very heavy rain. We found shelter but there was a 5 minute drive in it before the stop. They're great in the rain!

My scooter in the past few days has had this grinding sound in the front tire that comes and goes haven't quite figured it out....

We noticed that drivers are REALLY ignorant when it comes to sidewalks, crossings and right of way. We have had three VERY close calls so just be careful!

Because ai weight 20-30 pounds more than here I usually come back from a trip with 10-15% less power than her. Absolutely acceptable considering I drive always in S mode, and basically gun it here and there for fun.

We rode 33 miles today and had 40 percent battery left. Idk HOW. But we checked the mileage on both of our phones, then used google maps to map out WHERE we went, and we shortcutted the MAP because it took a straight shot to the destinations and we cruise IN and OUT of neighborhoods to just look at house and find trash treasures and we calculated 35 MILES WITH GOOGLE MAPS. WITH 40...PERCENT...BATTERY LEFT. IDK. HOW.

Just get them... they're so much fun. We crossed a bridge that was REALLY steep and it got me over it at 15mph...

I'll update here soon!

TERRIYING! Terrible app, scary tires, deadly brakes

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024

Style: New Max G30LP, GreyVerified Purchase

I took a horrible fall on this scooter on the second use. I posted a picture of me after the wreck but Amazon rejected the review.
1. It requires an app to use. This app is full of bugs and took me over an hour to update the firmware and Bluetooth connectivity. I was on hold with customer service for 45 minutes before I gave up.
2. It has an auto brake system to keep you from going over 22kph when you are gliding downhill. The auto brake system kicked in when I was going down hill and the scooter flew out from underneath me. There is no way to disconnect the app and take control of the scooter manually. Cars have anti lock brakes for a reason. This does not.
3. The tires are supposed to be at 37 PSI. The connector they send with the scooter leaks out a ton of air when you disconnect it. You need to buy an air compressor to get the PSI right. After the wreck, I checked the tires. Even though I pumped them up to 37 before I left, the air leakage had the front tire at 30 PSI and the rear at 27 PSI. There is a YouTube video showing exactly what happens when you try and manually pump them up, like you would a bike tire
4. The accelerator is on the right side, the brake is on the left. That is opposite of every scooter I've ever been on, and a dangerous design flaw. Imagine if your car's accelerator and brakes were switched. Muscle memory is a real thing and it made me nervous immediately.
5. Accelerator is very jumpy and the brakes are weird. Probably because without an electric pump, you're going to have low pressure tires, and a good chance they will be differential. Another hazard
6. It's not very maneuverable. It's very heavy and doesn't have good turning ability.
I'VE USED LIME SCOOTERS, BIRD SCOOTERS AND SUPERPEDESTRIAN- THEY ALL FELT SAFER AND HAD BETTER PERFORMANCE!!!

LASTLY: I WORE A HELMET AND STILL ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH 22 STICHES IN MY CHIN, LACERATIONS IF MY NOSE, LIP AND KNEES. THIS THING HANDLES TERRIBLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS!

3 or 4 Stars

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2023

Style: MAX G30P-40 milesVerified Purchase

I have been debating giving this a 3 or 4 star rating for a while now, but I'm feeling generous tonight so 4 stars it is. First the big question, would I buy it again...Yes, so what is up with the 3 or 4 star rating. It is all about the details.

Background: I purchased this to ride to work. I take a 10 mile paved river path to work and it has been enjoyable staying out of traffic and zipping along. Despite my picture, I wouldn't recommend riding this on dirt. While it can do a little dirt, it is mainly for paved paths/roads. I have ridden it about 150 miles as of this review.

Pros: There aren't many scooters that claim to have a range of 40 miles. The ride is pretty smooth, especially for not having shocks. I like the folding mechanism of the handlebars. It feels solid and has a safety pin that prevents the handle bars from folding up while you ride which is an irrational fear of mine :).

So what isn't to like...as mentioned above, it is in the details. If this was a cheap off-brand electric scooter, I wouldn't hold it to such as high standard but you are buying from a name brand company (Segway) and you are buying a higher priced scooter. I would like to see more attention to details since this should be a higher end scooter. Here are some of my complaints....again nothing huge but I feel like these should worked out on a higher end scooter.

1- Battery Life: No idea where the 40 miles comes from. I weigh 195 pounds so I am not maxing out the weight limit of the scooter. I also ride on a mostly flat surface....I am not climbing up large hills or anything unusual. When I ride the 10 miles to work, the battery life is at 51%, so I would estimate a realistic range of 20 miles. This range works for me but I am disappointed that the company is exaggerating the range this much.

2- Accelerator: The thumb controlled accelerator feels very cheap. Most of the scooter has a high quality build feel except the part that controls the acceleration and speed. This is made of cheap plastic and just isn't very smooth. I would like to see a lot more time and effort put into the part that you are frankly going to be using the most.

3- "Cruise Control"- If you are going long distances, you will want to enable cruise control so you aren't constantly pressing down on the accelerator with your thumb for 50 minutes like me going to work. Unfortunately, the only way to enable cruise control is with the phone app. If you enable it on the phone, then when you hold down the accelerator for 5 seconds, it will stay at that speed until you press the accelerator again or press the breaks. While this works, it is super basic and since it is on the phone there is no way to enable or disable it when riding. Say you are scooting a long on cruise control and coming up to a crowded area, you press the brake to slow down which ends cruise control. You then press the accelerator 30% while you start navigating around people, well if you keep it pressed as 30%, the scooter beeps and engages cruise control. It is like you have to constantly fight to keep it out of cruise control. There needs to be a way to enable/disable cruise control from the scooter itself.

4- One Button to Rule Them All: The ninebot is trying to one button for all the functions which just doesn't work that well. Hold it for 1 second to turn the light on, hold it for 2 seconds to switch from eco mode/drive mode/sport mode, hold it for 3 seconds and it turns off. The scooter needs more dedicated buttons for these features...including a button for cruise control. Imagine trying to control your car with 1 button. It is strange to be attempting to turn on the lights and have the whole scooter turn off.

5- Display: The display shows your speed and battery life. No other options...no distance gone, no estimated miles left in the charge, no clock, no elapsed time. These are all things included in your most basic biking computers. Since this is being sold as a commuter scooter, it should really have a time display in the corner of the screen. I have been serious thinking about getting a small wrist watch and attaching it to the hand bars. You can of course get a cell phone holder and attach it to the handlebars but this adds a lot of junk to the handlebars.

6- Modes: Eco mode maxes out at 9 miles per hour, good to learn but way too slow to be really used. Drive mode maxes out at 15 miles per hour which is pretty good. Sport mode maxes out at 18-19 miles per hour. My issue is that there needs to be a way to independently control max speed and acceleration. I like cruising at the 18 miles per hour since the path I take is not very populated, but the sport mode also ramps up the acceleration. It can feel like you are riding a horse as you slow down then press the accelerator. It just isn't a nice smooth acceleration, it accelerates too fast. Just wait until you start going over speed bumps...slows nicely then jerks you are you accelerator back up to cruising speed. Would be nice to have the top speed without really fast acceleration.

Again, if this was an off-brand cheap scooter, I would give it 5 stars but given this is a name-brand expensive scooter, it needs to be held to a higher standard. While I would buy it again, I wouldn't recommend it to a friend without a few of these disclaimers, especially the cheap feel of the accelerator.

Good range, very smooth quiet ride

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021

Style: MAX G30P-40 milesVerified Purchase

I rated this five stars because it does what is advertised, and it is better than I hoped. I bought two of these, one for me and one for my wife.

Right out of the box, both were out of alignment...the handlebar didn't align with the front tire. One by a couple of mm, the other by an inch. No worries; it was easy to adjust. Watch out for this though as the scooter is not safe to ride out of alignment.

I live in scooter Eutopia: A huge golf cart community in central Florida with hundreds of miles of smooth, dedicated multi-modal paths to ride on. Golf cart speed limit is 20mph, so this scooter holds it own at ~19mph. I have already put 460 miles on the scooter in just a few weeks.

When it comes to performance, weight and riding style matter. For your reference I am 6' tall and weigh about 197 lbs. dressed to scoot. My riding style is full out fun. I go as fast as circumstances safely allow, and I land-surf for fun. I do keep to paved surfaces and NEVER jump off curbs or anything like that. (BTW...I'm 60 years old and never had this much fun as a kid!!).

The scooter meets the manufacturers claims for speed and distance, but do your research! 40 mile range? Ok, but only in "eco" mode which means no speed (maybe 9mph), no acceleration, no slope climbing at all (you'll be pushing your scooter), and no fun! "Drive" mode gets about 14mph, very little acceleration, a little slope "crawling" but certainly nothing nearing 20 degrees, and minimal fun. 19mph (18.6 per Segway)? Yes, but only in "Sport" mode. With a 40 mile range? Not hardly. More like 18-20 miles, and by the end of that ride you'll be speeding along at maybe 3-5mph. But, you'll sure be having fun, climbing slopes at good speed, keeping out of the way of traffic, and land-surfing with a smile on your face. Honestly, I do not consider "eco" or "drive" modes to be safe to use if there is any automobile traffic in the vicinity. Without torque to provide acceleration, you cannot get out of the way quickly and the lower speeds present more of a hinderance to auto traffic which is just not a good idea. All that to say, I suggest using predominately "Sport" mode as it is truly safer and more fun. There are always exceptions. I occasionally ride on the wildlife trails where I live which are also used by a lot of photographers and walkers. On these trails, I only use "eco" mode in order to keep my speed down and other folks safe.

Things I like:
Fit, finish, quality all good.
Smooth, quiet ride due to hybrid/pneumatic tires and a longer deck/wheel span.
Regenerative braking and cruise control (both can be turned on or off...riders choice).
Slope climbing ability (Sport Mode only)
Acceleration (Sport Mode only)
Battery life (when getting back home is more important than having fun)
Charging cable without a brick transformer.
The loud bell. (which I use to let people know I am coming).
Height of the handlebar is perfect (no bending over at all for me).
The deck is bigger than most allowing comfortable standing position and weight shifting.
Accelerator on the right; brake and bell on the left. Everything handy and not confusing.
The iPhone software which maps your rides. Surprising not all scooter software does this. (Hi-boy does not, which frustrates a friend of mine with a Hi-boy S2 Pro).
Frankly, there's not much to dislike!

Things to improve:
Adjustable torque/acceleration in "eco" and "drive" modes (via software? Should be easy to do).
Faster charging.

If your environment provides you with an opportunity to safely enjoy alternate forms of transportation such as a scooter, then I highly recommend the Segway Ninebot Max (G30).

Love it. I don’t know how to review this because this is my car basically. I have a car but in my area, it’s traversable without having to use the highway.

I can go anywhere within 8 miles one way. Confident I’ll make it 8 miles back
If there is WIND? -2 miles each way! I’m 6 ft so wind really bogs me especially when I’m parachuting with my puffer.
If I want to urban wander. I can do so for 17 miles before it dies. That is VERY far for a scooter depending on where you live! It’s great for my use case. The light is also 2x brighter than I thought it’d be! The scooter is smooth. When I bend my knees I absorb lots of bumps. More than the Unagi Scooter I had last year.

I’m now ripped. The scooter is a great workout, as I live on a second floor so I carry it up and down 2 sets of stairs. It was a little difficult at first. Not the weight- it’s just a LARGE unwieldy thing for me to carry up my narrow staircase. NOW? I swing it between hands and can carry It up the stairs, unlock the door, AND go up the NEXT set of stairs without putting it down or breaking a sweat. I can carry much more due to this scooter! It’s a free workout.

SPEAKING OF FREE
There’s a true freedom to driving cars. You go wherever you want! Drive wherever! You can go city to city, state to state! FOR A SMALL FEE (gas insurance)

That being said

There’s another level of freedom that comes with scooters in general. I can go ANYWHERE within 9 miles which is a HUGE range. I can see everything at the granular. Each shop, each road, each building. Each park. I do not have to search for parking, just… STOP. Just walk in to the store. The simplicity of dismounting a scooter and walking into a place is one that I LOVE and absolutely prefer over a car.

Anyways enough advocating for scooter scooting.

This scooter is great. I have only ridden a Unagi Model One Voyager in the past. This beats THAT in every way for half the price. That’s my only comparison point. So I can’t say what this scooter is better than. All I know is it’s life changing versus being in a car! I feel excited to go places.

ALSO CRUISE CONTROL IS OP.
12 mph on cruise control and I can ride it like a skateboard and have one hand free to hit my cart lol

Just unboxed the ninebot Max 30LP and took for a ride. I rarely leave reviews but for this, based on the price, it is warranted. Its not all bad but as I write this, I think more disapointment than good-Some my own fault. I reviewed electric scooters for couple weeks before I bought. I bought an electric bike-not yet unboxed-for the wife and figured when we go to camp/boat around the northwest, we would use these to get 15 miles or less to and from the boat or campsite to a destination- Think places like Friday Harbor in San Juans. So, now after the first ride -

The good - It fits a 5'10" frame well. I'm not bending over to control it. Platform size great for size 9 feet. Well balanced, easy to ride, handles packed gravel well. Uber easy to set up and fold down to carry. Light weight and even the wife can one arm it around. Looks to be sturdy construction and doesnt have the cheap chynee flavor 2 it. Has headlight and tail light-not that I will ride at night. Display large and easy to read and scroll pattern is intuitive. Has several safety features for those without situational awareness like needs a push start to 3 MPH before it will engage and go. Easily hits 19 MPH with me on a flat plane.
Has three modes of speed allowance - Eco, D, and S (sport). I will always use on highest setting (sport) but from a safety perspective, those without athletic ability/situational awareness, set to Eco and you cant get really hurt.... Battery life - For those that dont know, you want to store LiPo batteries at 75% if you dont intend to use for several months. If you store at higher, theres a chance the batteries can discharge and develop detrimental memory. These were set from the factory right at 75% when unboxed. Someone was thinking for us...........So definitely a 4 or 5 of 5 when considering these parameters.

Now the bad - I weigh 200#. The specifications state it can handle 220# and it can for sure. As noted, I can easily hit 19 MPH when on flat terrain. BUT their spec that says it can handle a 20% slope. Well that's just plain fantasy unless maybe you weigh 75#? I havent tested on multiple slopes yet but I can tell you it struggles on a 5% slope. So, for those adults that are in the 150 to 250 wt category, dont settle for a 350 Watt motor output. Size up >500 Watter. Yea, its more coin but you wont be disappointed riding slight hills with your wife on an E-Bike that will kick ur A@#. I am charging the battery to full and will try it again once fully charged and will revise review if full charge gets me up to 10% grade I just tested on. And, a silly 1 year max warranty on limited parts with 6 month or less on the actual stuff that will go bad like the electric motor.

The Ugly - You have to use bluetooth to register and run this thing. I didnt know that when I bought it. Would have found a different one had I known. Why is this ugly? Its a chynee company. The registration/APP makes you a "known" entity to Segway at a minimum. They can share data-Email, phone number, and worse, to actually make the app work you have to give it "location tracking". Their guise is to allow you to "share with the Segway community". I tried several ways to deny this last one but it wont complete the bluetooth handshake without selecting approve location share. You end up in a do loop otherwise.

Bottom line, based on the price, engineering that went in, ease of use, its a decent scooter for the money. I dont know with the location tracking this would be appropriate for child, not sure.

Hope this review helps others decide.
