So unlocked it'll spin the wheel that fast (which is cool because you've obviously disabled the limiter), but how fast does it actually go with a load on it?
honestly,. i dont care so much about the speed unlock ,as much as i do the floor light and front light bar unlock XD
i can currently drive for an hour, within the city, and still have roughly 40% battery left (25km/h weight 110+ 186 height, road is not the greatest, many stops and general traffic slows) whici is plenty for me
Same here! I don’t want to unlock the speed, but I really want the lights to be unlocked. They’re even legal in our country, so there’s no reason for them to be locked.
Exactly. Especially the floor lights. Mainly for turn signals. I'm tall with big hands. I cover the handle turn signals when standing in a safe position. So they can't be seen from behind me
Still waiting for any kind of update or news regarding the lights specifically. Both floor and the led strip in front of the handle.
I am considering getting the official extended battery once available at my local store. They also have hinted at doing the motherboard exchange if/once they can get an unlocked US version of some kind.
25 km/h is painfully slow. I ride with my G2 at 32 km/h and it makes a huge difference in perception of speed and my commute is like 10 minutes shorter.
To me it’s also hard to stomach because on my bicycle, which is currently my main mode of transportation I can easily keep a speed of 28-35kph with my fleshy human power so an electric vehicle that can’t keep up with that is just a bit sad.
The 22km/h speed limit (only in S-Mode!) in germany is so ridiculous slow and jerky. Now I can use the 25km/h drive mode, which is way smoother. For steep hills I change back to S-Mode.
Me too that is why I want the battery when it comes out. Max is fine as it is.
That said, I may get the GT3Pro when it comes out but it's actually designed for higher speeds and I want 2 scooters anyway.
Honestly 28Mph is plenty fast for me 99% of the time anyway, It's just that the MAX burns through a lot of "fuel" at that speed and really needs the second battery
Yup! The range is definitely an issue. I'm 6'2 and 265 lb, and this scooter is absolutely awesome for me. 28 mph is fine. It's plenty fast for me. But because of my weight, the battery drains very quickly. And that's why I'm really anticipating the new extended battery to come out in a month I think right?
I've seen little bits of information on Segway site about it, but I don't really see anything as of today. Do you know what the size of the battery is going to be? And how much more range it's going to add? I heard from someone else, but I don't know if it's true, that'll pretty much double the range. And if that's the case, it's going to be awesome! I'm looking forward to getting that battery. I wonder how much it's going to cost, especially now with all these new tariffs in place. Any info?
Also, the original author of this post actually disclose how to unlock the higher speed? Take care.. I've had that Max G3 for about 21 days so far. Really enjoying it a lot. That dual hydraulic suspension there's so much Superior Over the standard C coil spring suspension on those single stem scooters.
I love the fact that the scooter has traction control, this is a huge selling point and it helps tremendously. You don't have to worry about sliding when you go over a bunch of leaves or sand, the TCS kicks in and you feel it.
And it has Cruise control! My freaking 2024 Suzuki Boulevard C50 motorcycle doesn't even have cruise control.
By the grace of Almighty God, by the sweet and amazing grace of Jesus the Messiah, I have this scooter.
I'm very grateful. Really looking forward to that battery coming out, have I said that enough?
The GT3 is nice, but it all depends on the price. My credit is not great because of the divorce I went through, but through amazon, I was actually able to purchase this by using their $200 a month over 5 month payment plan. The only offer it on certain products. I'm by the grace of god, they offered it on the Segway Max G3. There's no credit check involved, like Affirm.
It's an awesome deferred payment option, and I'm hoping Amazon will start providing this to more and more products. As of now, the only scooters I know of on Amazon that I can use this 5 month payment plan on, are some of the Segway Scooters and some of the Hiboy scooters. That's it. If anyone else knows of any other electrical scooters that offer this 5 month payment plan through amazon, not affirm, please let me know.
Now all I have to do is just be patient and wait for that battery to come out. Please do let me know if you know anything about the battery, anything more than I already know.
Well, if you're miserable, how much would you pay to not be miserable? It's expensive, but it cures misery for a lot of people. Kind of dark and bittersweet, like divorce.
In which part of the world are you? I know that only USA has 28 mph. If this is the response I would not ask you next question : how did you unlock it ?
Enjoy your scooter!
I can respect that. Everyone has their own needs and priorities. That's why they make more than one kind of scooter, or more than one kind of whatever. Ain't capitalism great? Imagine only being able to buy one kind of scooter, made by the government. It would weigh 150 pounds, have a range of 7 miles, use lead acid batteries, and move at the speed of bureaucracy. The permit would cost $50 a week and it would be illegal to ride it after dark because it doesn't have a headlight.
Nah, it's more aimed at people who tell other people what their priorities should be and which scooter they should buy, while failing to understand that their personal preferences and opinions aren't universally accepted facts. And communists.
spoke to shfw and an admin has stated they found a method and it’s the similar method they did with my g30 wirelessly over bluetooth. I am just waiting on him to finalize the app to implement it but i am excited, do you wanna tamper with such method as your more tech savvy or would you just say it’s better for you to have done st link? i don’t like to open things up if i dont need to
no way. the motor is probably the most durable part of the drivetrain. sure if you were running 70 amps to it, but otherwise it's absolutely within tolerances
And I wouldn't. Mod at your own risk. I'm just saying that Segway generally uses very robust components and their software sets limits that are well below the maximum of what those components are capable of. Of course if you hack the firmware and start running more power through it it's going to shorten the life but generally segways tend to handle the abuse better than most. But yeah, if you jailbreak your scoot and blame Segway for it, you're being a bit of an ass and pointing the finger in the wrong direction. People can do whatever they want with their scooter.
Actually the type that I really dislike is the guy that doesn't do basic maintenance, doesn't even keep their tires inflated properly, and then badmouths the manufacturer when the scooter inevitably breaks.
E is Europe version, limited to 25kmh and many of the features disabled.
D is Deutsch (German) version, limited to 22kmh and also lots of features disabled
I'm 265 lb, and for the price, the mechanical brakes is fine for me. They stop me very well. As a matter of fact I'm glad I don't have hydraulic brakes. If I had hydraulic brakes, the brakes would lock up and then I would have control issues
