so I'm back reviewing more e-scooters this model here is from nine bot powered by Segway
it's called the Kick Scooter Max G2 and it does have full suspension we've got a shock here at
the front there's also one at the rear well two of them there helping soak up a lot of the bums it's
one of the weaknesses of a lot of e-scooters is they simply just have pneumatic tires and that's
it when it comes to soaking up all the bumps it's the ties it does the job there and because they're
normally not puncher resistant tires either you have to run quite a high PSI these tires
however they are pneumatic 10 inch tires they are self-sealing so as long as you keep a high
reasonable PSI in them that they recommend tire pressure they will seal up and you won't have
any issues there the battery is located here in the deck and that is 551 Watt hours which ninebot
Claims can give us a range of up to 70 kilometers realistically most people as I can see so far in
my time testing it out but we'll get around 40 to 50 kilometers range out of a scooter like this
it's all dependent of course on your Rider weight and the kind of conditions that you're riding the
road surface and how many climbs you do have the max2 does have a plastic mud guard on the back
room for a small little registration or number plate if you need that countries like Germany
do we have side reflectors these shocks here so there are two either side on the rear these
are adjustable there is a softer setting and a Max setting that you can tweak with them if you wanted
to do so I've just left it as standard seems to be fine for me and my weight I've got to reflector on
the rear with a tail light now this tail light is a dual stage one you can see as I apply the brake
now it does increase the brightness of it a little now the motor is in the rear hub now this Peaks at
900 watts it's quite powerful and it is a nominal 450 Watts which is the standard power output so
it should be very good at climbs and I will be testing that out on this video later with my climb
test so the deck of this is nice and large for my feet we do have some rubber here to give our feet
there some traction so they're not going to slip off as you're riding along and even if your feet
are wet the overall build quality is excellent though well done the frame the paint finish here
looks good seems to be quite resistant to wear and we do have a kickstand that seems to be quite
sturdy and does not rattle about plastic mud guard here at the front the brake at the front so it's
Jewel breaking we've got electric electronic brake at the rear drum brake at the front here
side reflectors and a hydraulic front shock here so that gives us around about 30 millimeters of
travel now the charge port is located on the right hand side it takes about five to six hours there
is a little gasket here to keep the water out of it and the great part about it is the power supply
is internal so you just need the power cable you plug that in and Away you go you are charging you
don't need to carry around a separate power supply I want to see more Brands doing this so right here
we do have a little buzzer horn this also acts as the alarm too if the scooter does detect
that someone is moving it about and you haven't unlocked it then it will go off and it also Flash
the indicators I just wish that in the alarm mode this buzzer was a little louder than what it is
turning on the max G2 is like their album models very similar look to it in style so just press
the button here for a few seconds you hear a beep it comes on now the display is very difficult to
make out in direct sunlight this is my biggest complaint I really wish they'd gone with like
an OLED screen that was a lot brighter that you could see now you can see it at night just fine
from this example you can make out yes your battery level there if your lights are on
we know that in anyway when you're right at night and all that information like your speed and then
whatever power level you are around so you've got the Eco Mode the D and the S the S is the
sport Max Speed 25 kilometers with this EU model so here on the left hand side we've got our buzzer
that's reasonably loud and we do have this indicators here so pressing that left or
right triggers the corresponding indicator light now it's got some LEDs in there that
are very bright the front headlight that it does have incorporated into the handlebars
is powerful enough it does light the path of you and I do find that they've got the optimal angle
2 for this headlight pretty much perfect for when you're traveling at about 25 kilometers per hour
the hand grips that they have used have a little tiny bit of movement in them but they are pretty
much locked down they're not bad that's me exaggerating it by putting a lot of pressure
on there this is our accelerator so you just used your thumb to accelerate now if I press it
now nothing is going to happen because you need to kick off first get to about two I think it's
two or three kilometers then when you press it it will power away of course they do this so safety
and here is where it latches into the top of the mud guard allowing you to lift the scooter up when
you fold down the handlebar now Folding It Up is very easy there's just this little security on the
front you pull that up push the lever forward Drop The Handlebar down get the hook on the little part
there on the top of the mud guard so it latches in place and you can't lift it up so this scooter
does weigh 25 kilos so now the fun part my right here so do find the deck of the scooter here I've
got plenty of room for my feet it's not the largest of the scooters but you don't want it
to be too big because then that makes it quite a bit bulky so we've got terrible roads around here
so little potholes like this the suspension does a good job of going over all of this rough stuff
because the roads here are just absolutely terrible and I've got a little bit more
confidence in this scooter because it does have those self-sealing puncture resistant tires too
now cruise control it does not seem to have it in the settings an option to enable cruise control
for the max G2 I've seen this with other similar e-scooters but it seems that that is not there
I don't know why they don't have it maybe for safety reasons it's probably to do with EU law
regulations that you're just not allowed to have cruise control so as soon as you take your thumb
off that throttle a you begin to de-accelerate so that's pretty standard there so I still
haven't really heard this motor you can barely hear it very smooth really nice and quiet and
great power delivery and I feel quite safe here cruising along at just 25 kilometers per hour
so climb test now it can handle the 900p watt motor climbs at 22 degrees this is about 20
and it's doing fine it has slowed down now to 17 kilometers per hour this patch here is a little
steeper and I can feel it slowing down a little to 15 14 kilometers but now starting to gain again
so this is good at speed so it's doing well 900 watts Peak 450 Watts nominal power output this
is climbing I think one of the best out of the illegal limited 25 kilometer per hour e-scooters
that I have covered braking test now from about 30 kilometers per hour when I get to this white post
I'll do the full-on braking okay oh just before this other post that is not bad at all so we have
a mechanical drum brake at the front an electric brake at the rear also the regen braking so you do
gain a little bit back when it comes to the uh the battery capacity but it's not that much at
all but it helps every little bit helps of course it's a good braking performance with the max G2
and our nine bar Segway application so it connects up via Bluetooth you can see here
my remaining battery percent so 45 I've done 21 kilometers it tells me I can do another 22 but
this is quite an inflated number here in reality I think this is more like 15 kilometers for that
last portion of the battery so my estimated range that I can get I'm working at about 35
30 kilometers mostly riding in the S Mode and you see here that we do have options that you
can enable the walk mode energy recovery settings so this is our regenerative braking by default it
is set to strong firmware updates there have been two of those already there's moments so like just
a little social media area that people can upload photos of their rides and whatnot my own account
here so you can see that I have written almost 100 kilometers now and there are a few other settings
just in here so very basic settings so what is missing is cruise control there is no option for
that and here unfortunately charging limit so this is a good way to prolong that battery if
you didn't want to always fully charge it then you could limit it to say 90 percent you see that with
laptops nice feature to have abnormal vibration alarm the detection indicator switch tones and
then they've got the lab option here to enable like a traction control if you did want that you
have that and this is very handy too which is the custom settings of the S Mode now imagine you're
going to let say a 14 year old ride on this but you don't want them going 25 kilometers per hour
you want them only to go say 19 then you can set that you can also lower down the acceleration to
normal by default it is on the fastest setting there Ultra which is what I have been using if
you use a lower seating here too that will save a little bit of battery life because it's not
going to be using so much wattage so it's a good application here very straightforward void simple
to use and you get those firmware updates you can also remotely turn it off if you wanted to
now the range of the scooter is going to be very dependent on of course your weight how
many climbs you have and then what level you are using so whether you're using the Eco Mode the
D mode or the S Mode now I wrote around and most of the time the S Mode for the maximum
acceleration and I'm looking at around 30 to 35 kilometers this is the kind of range that I can
get out of at tops now if I didn't have so many climbs around and I used say the D level the in
between mode and took it a little bit easier I think you could probably manage to squeeze
out around 35 40 kilometers that's still short of their 50 kilometer claim and I just don't
know how I would be able to achieve at least with my weight of 82 kilos the 70 kilometer
claim which is another claim they say that you might be able to get out of the scooter for me
that's just not going to be possible but all up it is an excellent scooter here the max
G2 I like the full suspension on it the front shock the rear shock makes a huge difference we
have then confidence too on these tires that we should not get any Flats because there's
self sealing tubeless tires and they seem to be very good the kickstand is all right the
folding mechanism here very solid Got Confidence in that it does not feel like it's going to break
there's really no flex in any of that and the handlebars with the built-in indicators is a
great safety addition along with the lights that we do get with this climbing power very good for
a 25 kilometer per hour limited e-scooter I do like the the performance of that and the braking
performance seems to be very good as well the cons are very minor from me one of them is the
display in direct sunlight is very hard to make out and through the application well it's great
that we've got a lot of different settings like limiting its top speed there is no cruise control
option that could be down to EU regulations that this would be do not allow us to have that option
it's not too difficult to keep your thumb down on that accelerator anyway okay so that is the
full story there of nine Bots Kick Scooter Max G2 thank you so much for watching this review
