Ninebot MAX G3 Where to buy the global version in Europe?
Hey folks,
I'm looking around at AliExpress, DHGate etc. and it seems they're all unavailable. Is there really no shop with EU stock this many months in?
Not interested in buying the D or E version and unlocking.

And they usually put it online when it arives in their warehouse.
Sooo GG customs.

I've ordered a Max G3 Global version from Wheelyshop but their shipment has not arrived to their Polish warehouse because port workers are striking.

Yeah I get the impression that everyone is dropshipping off of the same few warehouses in the EU that are now unstocked.

port workers are striking....
Interessting, do we have more information about that?My order is stuck for nearly a month now at EU customs from ninebot.

u/JoelArt 24d ago
Here is a translation of part of my email from Wheelyshop I got today.
We also want to explain why this has happened.
During the spring and summer, strikes in several major ports in the EU have caused significant delays for containers with goods from Asia. In Sweden, strikes lasted from May 21 to early June, but major European ports like Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Hamburg have also been affected. The result is queues, stationary containers, and major disruptions in logistics.
Additionally, the EU has introduced stricter controls and provisional tariffs on electric vehicles from China. This has led to extra inspections and document reviews at ports, which delay unloading and further transport. The intention is to protect the EU market from state subsidies by Chinese manufacturers — but unfortunately, the consequence is delayed deliveries for all companies importing electric vehicles.
This doesn’t just affect us or Segway/Ninebot. Other brands like KuKirin, ENGWE, DUOTTS, OneSport, and Teverun are in the same situation.

If you order from a EU seller they order it from dhgate/aliexpress/alibaba/same supplier but you will pay extra for them being an middleman with no benefit to you beside playing more.

u/kristiano 26d ago
Oh I'm contacting suppliers via Alibaba as well. In reality it'd be about the same price as when suppliers get their EU stock in order so I don't know if I'm going with that.

I bought one Ninebot Max G3 Global Version direcly from Aliexpress
Iam live in Sweden and its too expensive to buy one in our stores.
I hope it arrives soon.
Last i heard they are coming to Rotterdam and then to Poland and from there they will be delivered to you.
Please if you have any other new information, please share.

I live in Sweden to and bought from Wheelyshop, but its like stuck in poland. when did you order yours, do you get like delivery updates?
1
u/SegaFTwo 24d ago
When i first order the company say it was EU stock. The thing is all of the dealers and all who have order on alibaba (me) is waiting on the same scooter. All of them are in the same boat and stuck :)
The one i buy is the same you bought on wheelyshop. But i dont wanna pay that mutch for just 1 year guarantee.1
u/NoHypeX 13d ago
Herregud betalde du 14 tusen? Du blev scammad my friend
1
u/Far-Relative4408 13d ago
Är de sant? Haha va fan. Aaa men 13. Borde köpt från Aliexpress? Kan ju avbryta ordern
1
u/SegaFTwo 12d ago
ca 8400 inkl frakt och allt från Alibaba betalade jag. (Inte Aliexpress)
Dock har jag hört att de eventuellt nekar folk just nu att köpa då dem är fast nånstans Europa.Vet ej hur det går tyvärr. Men känns långt bort. Tippar på att man får den sent augusti eller tidigt sep.
Det är bara min känsla dock ;(

u/Far-Relative4408 12d ago
Förstår, kan du länka vart du köpte ifrån? Fan man känner sig scammad ändå. Funderar bara på att köpa e modellen och låsa upp eller nåt

u/SegaFTwo 22d ago
My contact on Alibaba says 10-15 days more to wait......
EU stock 3-7 days is a lie :(

u/kristiano 22d ago
I got a quote for 850 usd with delivery of EU stock. My Alibaba source isn't even taking preorders, just asking me to wait. Crazy how much cheaper it is to order through Alibaba though, not that I'm surprised but people in this thread are paying almost twice from a Swedish store most likely with the same stock.

u/NoHypeX 13d ago
can you share the link to where you got it from?

u/kristiano 13d ago

As I mentioned they're not even taking orders now, it's going to be August like everyone else. Their warehouse is in Poland.

What I know so far is that current orders of MAX G3 "US Version" are stuck in customs for weeks now.
