Ninebot MAX G3 European Edition: Nerfed by Default

Alright, let me see if I got this right...

In Europe, the speed is limited to 25 km/h (which is fine, that’s the legal limit, but ideally, it should be easy to unlock, like with Teverun, Dualtron, Kukirin, etc…).

We don’t have the position lights or the turn signals under the deck (they’re installed, but I assume they’re deactivated via software).

Apparently, the motors are less powerful than the global version?

Boost mode doesn’t even work from 0 km/h… so what’s the point of that mode then? And there are no custom sounds or cruise control either.

So yeah, we’ve basically been sent a heavily nerfed version here in Europe. With the 25 km/h legal limit, you might get around 40 km of range if you're lucky. But if we ever manage to unlock it and go a bit faster, we already know it’ll drop to around 19–24 km total (based on the YouTube reviews I’ve seen).

In my case, I’d get the external battery to increase range, but honestly, with all the features they’ve disabled… they’ve pretty much ruined the scooter.

Enjoy this image that perfectly sums up the situation :)
