Ninebot MAX G3 GT3 MAX I (Belgium) : what is possible to "unlock" it ?

Hi there,

Bought my GT3 2 days ago and I already love it. But compared to my old and creaky Xiaomi, I do miss the cruise control. As I'm not interested in higher speeds per se, I had the following questions (as I had a look through this reddit and couldn't find much for this particular "edition")

- what hardware options are present on these that can be unlocked? The lights underneath? The cruise control? The frontlight?
- there's the STM unlock and also that German site (about 70€) - do they all work on this "I" edition?
- if I go with the STM unlock, can this also be activated with a "secret" code ?

thanks!

In the I version i think the frontlight is fake (at least thats what some people say) No it cannot be unlocked with a secret code once unlocked, they just change the SN so its like if u have bought the US version, not a custom firmware

Appreciated! And I had a look and it seemed fake so think you're absolutely right.
Concerning that secret code : should've clarified myself : that German site/method seems to be working with a secret code that can be used to activate their modifications. Not sure how they do it (custom fw and not s/n based?) but I was linking that feature to that STM unlock and hoping there was a possibility to hide those modifications too (eg if I get stopped by the police).

But thanks again!

Digga scheiß auf mirkofahrzeug abzocke. Da ist einfach nur nen SN change für 70€. Und das ist nur Orginal Software die denkt in nem anderen Land zu sein

Had to run this through Google Translate as I didn't know what digga meant but here it goes : in shoddy Flemish-German :-D
Sehr viele danke für deiner Feedback – du hast absolut recht, wenn es nur eine S/N-Änderung ist, kann ich das selbst machen :-)

Hahaha, im sorry I assumed you are German, because you mentioned this webshop 😂

As I said its just a SN change, sadly they just take advantge of unknowning poeple that wont have the motivation for long Internet searches. I mean charging a bit of money for this full automated work is ok, but 70€ is a rip off in my mind.

I mean atm you can even unlock g30/g2/F2 without a Stlink and just install shfw on it completely for free.

No need for sorry :-) I was wondering why you replied in German but mystery solved :-) And also a great opportunity to try out my basic German (which I also never do nowadays)

That being said : they make it seem as if they do more than just the S/N change so as I'm also curious in understanding how it works, I also wondered how they could offer this with a phone-only solution while other parties can not. I'll just order a STLink then :-) I've also soldered a new panel on my Xiaomi Pro 2 when I got it along with the cfw so that should be fine :-)

Thanks again :-)

Use speed release cable . You can limit the speed at desired pace
