The sequel to one of the most legendary scooters we’ve had the pleasure of testing, and one that brings us more of everything we love from range to top speed, ride comfort, and a phenomenal feature set.

For about 4 years, the Ninebot Max G30 has been the answer to the question, “What’s a good scooter to buy.” There are so many reasons why–but the scooter’s range and reliability for its price remained unbeaten for a long time, even as the industry experienced a heavy tech revolution and as consumers grew more demanding.

But this is a fast-paced industry, and other scooters were bound to catch up with the Ninebot Max G2 sooner or later–and they did. So Segway had to get back to the drawing board and up the ante on what was already a legend of a scooter. Today, we go into great detail about the upgrades we’ve seen on the Max G2 and whether or not this scooter cuts it as the new benchmark.
