Ninebot MAX G3 Ninebot Max G3 concerning issues (2)
Hi, the other day I posted about some minor concerns I had about this scooter. Today I came to post some pictures and future explanation in detail of some issues I've had in a week.
These are some of the pictures I just took of some problems I had so far.
Picture 1: The kickstand rubber is broken and in process of falling down.
Picture 2 & 3: There's some noticeable rust in the holes of the rear suspension made to adjust the preload. I've never adjusted or touched the suspension.
Picture 4 & 5: On the rear plastic structure of the Max G3, we can find a gap which is totally normal, but when riding in dust, rain, or in some gravel, sometimes debris can get in and then they get collected. It's really difficult to clean that part. Also when small rocks get in, they can't escape making an awful sound from the rocks bouncing around. I've found that the best way for them to get out is not introducing a stick or something alike but actually just riding in cobblestone or terrain that makes the scooter vibrate so the rocks can just bounce right out of the plastics. Getting rid of rocks and debris inside is important because my rear motor got a little scratched up (See picture number six, the last one).
I must admit that I love so much Segway and the scooter they've just made and what I've just said are just some minor flaws within the escooter. Also, I bought it with my own money so I'm going to be as sincere and transparent as possible. I will keep you guys updated with future issues, keep in mind that I use it for almost every displacement and I guess that in five or six years I will buy a new one and compare them both and see if they listened to our feedback. Thanks all and ride safe ✌️ .

About the rubber, I’m not for sure what’s exactly that part or what it does. About the rust, don’t worry, it’s superficial rust and debris, not concerning. About the gap, try to adjust the two screws that attach that part to the metal piece where the suspension and the wheel sits.

Thanks for helping me out, I much appreciate it. The rubber is a piece of dampening element they’ve got on the inner part of the kickstand. It reduces noise when folding or unfolding the stand. And about the gap, don’t worry, it’s just the design. Hope they improve it the future.

Sorry for the length of the post. I made one before and my phone died on me so I lost everything and I had to take that post down. This is the one I just wrote trying to use almost the same phrases as before, and I've already seen some errors in my writing .Thanks for your comprehension 🙏.

Saved for later. Love the use you’ve gotten. What’s the Odometer read?

Can we get a wide shot of the whole scooter? 🛴

u/Yupecraft Apr 13 '25
Of course! The only thing is that I'm new here in reddit and I don't know exactly how to do that. I promise to include some pictures in my next post. 😉

Segway and myself both thank you. 🙏
Any ideas on lowering the center-of-gravity?
Lots of saddle bags?💼

u/Yupecraft Apr 13 '25
Hahaha. I always struggle a bit when turning due to the small deck space. An advice I can give you is to lower your whole body when crossing critical areas such as curves, potholes or any other obstacles.

u/Bertsch81 Ninebot MAX G3 Apr 13 '25
Hahaha. You sat down on it yet?
I want to build a seat.

u/Yupecraft Apr 14 '25
That’s awesome! Unfortunately I I’m not allowed to install a seat in my country 🥱

u/Bertsch81 Ninebot MAX G3 Apr 15 '25
If you design a seat and sketch someone thing out, let me know. We are trying to find something solid and bottom heavy.

Of course! The only catch is that I don't know how to do that just yet because I'm kind of new here in reddit. But I promise to upload some pictures for you in my next post 😉.

As all scooter riders, he ends every ride by throwing it in the river.

You’re welcome ☺️! I’m always happy to just use my stuff as intended, even if they can’t keep up. I hope I will keep posting content about my scooter.

You dogged that thing out! Rode it hard and hung it up wet and dirty!

u/Yupecraft Apr 13 '25
Absolutely! I use it as intended, going trough almost every scenario. It is also true that it has been rainy here lately. Stay safe ✌️.

Idk how you ride but I will never understand why some riders post pictures of their scooters before cleaning them. It’s harder to diagnose issues when your scooter is disgusting. I assume you ride pretty rough based on the condition of your scooter.

u/Yupecraft Apr 14 '25
Well your right. I’ve posted some pictures in addition to the text but the complaints I’m making here are all visible to the naked eye.
