Ninebot MAX Electric Scooter Range Test(s) & Rain Test Compilation 

Eco Mode 27.0 mi = 43.4 km "D" Mode 19.8 mi = 31.9 km "S" Mode 16.3 mi = 26.2 km

I can’t believe you did all that driving in the rain! I won’t let my scooters get wet at all LOL. Great video a real range review.

This what you want a video with full explanation to every detail saves me having watch another 30 vids smashed it mate 🥊

Thank you very much for that amazing effort and weather you went through to show us the range on all 3 modes. I salute you Sir

This is what I like, direct info on range. Keep up the good work

Great man! You are the first one to do such a comprehensive test, especially underwater. That's impressive!!

Hey dude that’s a fantastic test of all the modes. Thanks for doing that!

Never seen a more in depth review other than your channel. Deserves a 👍

Best range test I've seen on the ninebot max thank you

Fantastic video(s), i first watched your main video since i m looking for an urban long range escooter. It is hard to find the battery capacity, sometimes they give A.h and omit the voltage, sometimes they just give autonomy in KM which is irrelevant. I saw a video in which Xiaomi was loosing 30% of its battery on a + 30 meters (about 100 feets) with 90 kg man carrying 10 kg of geart (around 200 pounds total). I m very happy to read that this Ninebot can do 1200 ft on climbing with around 90 kg load. Most testers do advertising rather than actual testing, you are an exception. I really appreciate the extensive and serious testing you did, autonmy, ability to climb steep slopes, behavior under heavy raind, breaking. I'm truly impressed and give your video a 5/5 stars. I need to clim 150 meters (450 feets) on the way out and in, and since you reported around 1200 feet it seems that with the Ninebot i can commute and not even recharge at the office. Note that my trip has a W shape so there is almost no overall positive climb. PS : I think that providers should always provide the battery capacity in Watt/h, or quiv mamph and voltage. The ninebot has around 550 wh which is really high for its price range. I don't know if there is any competition, the xiaomi pro 2 has quite less battery capacity. And on top the Ninebot has its charger included, so you just need a standard cable which is awesome.

Amazing range test, we almost felt it. Thank you sir!

Amazing work. Thank you so much for your hard work and being out in the rain. True dedication. True dedication. I just bought one so thank you for posting the time also so we get a general idea how long We can go at certain mode. Thank you very much.

Thanks for this brother. i appreciate that you did this for us!!!! big W

Legit everything I wanted to know about the range of my scooter! What a top dog you are ❤

Let me pile onto the praise. Thank you so much for doing this it erased a lot of questions. A little heavier than you and 230 lb I will deduct another 5 miles from the range. Thank you again well done!

Giner never disappoints. I love all your videos. 👌🏼

I got a Ninebot max the other day, i watched your videos beforehand i have to say this is a great first time scooter for the price, I'm about 150Lbs so this scooter has no problem moving

Thanks for showing us these real world range tests! Here is for walking it home. 🍻

absolutely amazing review. seriously went out of your way to give a review on the scooter and did it a little too well. amazing content and I will definitely consider this review when I am buying this scooter.

Great video and #realworld testing!! I own 2 MAX G30 (first as an IGG backer when they were first released in September; second on Amazon Christmas sale... bought both $599/ea). Last weekend I passed 1,300miles on one and 300miles on the other. I have no complaints except for slow-leaky-tires (which Armor-Dilloz slime solved). One may have rusted-bearings from riding (err "submarining") through puddles but it hasn't hurt its top-speed nor range. At 5'9" 150lbs my longest single-ride was 28.4miles in [D]rive & [E]co mixed (but that was BATT 98% > 2% .. so wasn't fully-charged to start nor completely drained once I got home). I cannot give this scooter enough praise! It has exceeded all my expectations (except for being heavy.. however both of them can fit/folded into my MINI COOPER... so yeah #WinWin). I only wish the yellow US-spec G30 had the same "blue lever" eBrake on the left-handle that the blue German(?) G30D does... I would prefer having thumb control of KERS rather than just the 3-settings (Weak|Medium|Strong) via the app.

man I'm so afraid about my MAX an rain but you made it, fantastic videos you make! I love all of'em!

Love the video boss!!! Great work

Just picked this scooter up, watching this review helped me make my decision. Thanks from the Uk 🇬🇧💯👍🏼👊🏼

I’ve been watching your vids Bc my ninebot is coming in 1 day and I’m so excited

Thanks for the review bud!

I took my Ninebot Max out this morning in light rain splashing through small puddles with no worries, it was a lot of fun. I gotta tell ya, even though I have a blast on my high speed scooters there's always that anxiety you have about crashing and getting hurt with those so my little leisurely with less stress ride going around 18-19mph on my Ninebot is enjoyable too. I was taking photographs of historical places downtown and the scooter gave me so much freedom to do that which would be definitely difficult doing by just walking or in a regular vehicle. I would still say the range is decent on the Max. I went about 7 to 8 miles this morning and the battery dropped about 1 and a half bars on sport mode the whole time. I'm more or less happy with that. Someone should organize a scooter rodeo where you test different types of scooters from commuters to high performance models to see which riders can make turns the fastest and closest around an obstacle course. There can also be a very narrow straight run sandwiched by small cones to see who can travel the fastest through it without hitting any of the cones. A braking test can be done from a set speed with a line drawn on the pavement to see who can stop the closest on. A point system can be setup for the contest and the winners will earn prizes. I thing that would be a lot of fun.

My hat's off to you... Amazing effort. Thanks man.

Have just read other posts below. Seems like my question has already been answered. You had the Gen 2. Thanks Clive

I subscribed because of your name. Haven't even checked the whole video yet LOL!

I just bought one of these for my son's transportation to school. Good to know that it works in the rain!! Excellent review!!

Thanks bro awesome vid!

Fellow PNW here. I saw you go across my street in this video 😁

Nice man ! greetings from Croatia ! :)

wow you really went to the full length of seing what this Scooter was made of. It seems to work in the rain too thanks for verifying that =)

I tested the range on this scooter today and got 42 km's while cruising at 17 km/h. Flat roads normal temperature and I weigh 103 kg.

Great review

Great reviews! Thank you

Awesome Video! I love my max, I just ordered a range extender and I am hoping to get 40 miles in D... fingers crossed lol

Great video thanks for posting 👍

Thank you, great complete test !!! It has never been done before, well done. I know it's a lot of more work to do, but if you can translate (or subtitle) lbs to kgs and distance to kms, it would be perfect ;) Please continue like that !

You're a true WARRIOR !

this video should be considered a golden standard, when deciding on which scooter to purchase.

Thanks a lot for the video.

Good video man savage!!!

Thanks for the Vid Ginger!!! All about the science....

Nice reviwe like you Do always thanks.

Great review, just got on and road, no prattling on.

I own the ninebot max. Nice test compilation

What a great video

I'm not sure how much difference it will make, yet going the same path would've been more accurate. but nice video!

This looks like so much fun

Great info!

awesome vid ! thank you

Nice vid dude! I want this to be my next scooter after my M365 retires :)

I’m going to hold off getting a scooter for now. I haven’t seen one that ticks all the boxes yet. thanks for the review. I hope something new comes out soon.

Thank you for doing these for us. lol.

Great review, thanks for sharing! May I please ask what type of headlamp you were using during your night ride? What's the best headlamp upgrade for the g30? Thanks again.

You’ve convinced me, i need one just for the rainy days i cant take my Apollo Explore outside

Thank you Ginger you went all the long way on eco mode that must have been difficult! Can you ask someone to do it again with a lighter weight?

Nice video! I recently got the fluidfreeride horizon. I swore i recognized that area. Were you riding in marymoor park and redmond/kirkland area?

Thanks just bought it!

Great job

What a great review. I notice in your country they use non-metric. Would be great to see metric equivalents for rest of the world who might watch.

Great reviews on the Max, thanks so much! I’m ready to buy one but was kind of hoping that I could Use some manual push when I wanted to or the battery was dead. Can you not do this on this model or other electrics? I’m new to the electric scene. Thanks again and all of the best brother! 🤠

Thank you Sir, just bought mine and was wondering what the real numbers are... not as advertised, not a shock :D

Thanks for that I live in England and it rains a lot, so that great for me mate 👍🏿🇬🇧

10:00 I just got mine yesterday 2nd hand, I rode home on Sport mode for 16km (9.94 miles) and had 45% left, and it was cold 5°C (41°F), there’s a storm going on at the moment so winds were up to 50km/h (31.07mi) wet road and when I checked tyre pressure, for my surprise it was only 22psi. But it was Mostly flat roads and I’m only about 65KG (143lb) . With more reasonable weather and tyre pressure, the range will be really good, I’m very satisfied

Great video

thank u man !

Awesome video. I wonder why the channel gets so few views

In my brand new unit S mode 18.6mph cruise control, I get 2.2-2.3 miles for every 10% on 193lb rider (haven't done a full range test yet)

Thanks for the effort to make those tests. Great detailed video.!!! Only one question what is the App name that you use? I mean the one that show charts consumption elevation etc.??? thank you in advance. Cheers Bill

I ride just over 15km everyday to go to work and back home (S mode). I am 98kg and I ride mostly flat road except 2.5km quite steep hill before arrive my work. when I come back from work I always have 47% ~ 50% battery left

Thanks mate your videos are the best. What was the name of the app you were using to record all the details?

Just waiting for mine to arrive in the next week....and then ...who knows

Really great basic eScooter!!!!

Thx for testing this 4 us ...

Ahora un comentario en español. Gracias por todo lo que haces y enseñas. Excelente video, muy instructivo y entretenido. Saludos desde Bogotá Colombia. u can translate wh i wrote jejeje

At last some real world usage thank you.

Im waiting to get it wet lmfao! Great reviews. Great work.

It must be understood that the advertising 40 miles range was from specific riding conditions such as I believe they stated was a 160 lb rider in eco mode. You weigh 190, so 27 is really good.

So Gen 1 scooter Thanks for the upload.

Great video! Thanks! I just bought one and I was wondering: how did this scooter perform days or weeks after riding it in the rain? Did the performance change? Any problems?

Did you open the battery compartment/bottom cover to see if there was any water inside the scooter? I used ride during rain and snow for a year and eventually the BMS of my G30P battery went dead and as I opened it right after to investigate, there was a lot of water in there. Be careful.

Thanks!

Thank you for posting this scientific review of the G30 Max. This is probably the most useful review I have seen. It shows what we all want to know. "How far will it go?" Been considered for a good while purchasing this model. Living in England, I'm concerned about the "do not use in the rain" caveat. Thoughts anyone?

Best comparison would be to do the same range test route for all 3 settings.

Thanks for doing this. Is this on the Segway Gmax 30p? I've heard there are different motor types I have the second generation motor. I also think it varies depending on your weight I'm 230 lbs. So I would imagine this would change a bit .

I have a TNE Q4 V3 1300 watt single motor. Its pretty damn good on hills.

I’ve owned one of these for about a month, luv it. I find the only mode worth using is S mode, the other modes are feeble. Breaks are good. Only thing is, I wish it had both a high beam and low beam light setting, rather than just what is a low beam setting. Riding through a park at night with no street lights, one needs a high beam switch.

I’m pretty late to the video but how’s the scooter holding up? I need a scooter that is good for the rain and bad weather. I use the Emove cruiser but it’s horrible it is not suitable for rain at all. All the extra nonsense like the throttle, turning signals, front headlight and horn just get wet and shut the scooter off when riding. The deck is water resistant everything else is not water resistant at all. My glion dolly was better in the rain lol. Would you say the ninebot is the best scooter for the rain?

Great video, what was the outside air temperature during your tests?

thanks alot you helped alot of people beg ging with myself. so im adding 2 miles to your econo review cuase there arent any hills in miami,but adding 6 milescuase i weigh 220 lbs. so that puts me into 80 percent of the economic zone in my county in broward one way. round trip it would hit 40 percent. so im thinking for one way trips beyond 15 miles. like 20 miles. im going to get a goal zero charger so while im working it re charges for the 20 miles back.

I used mine the rain and it ran just fine

Trust Ginger on Wheels because i tried the sport mode and exactly 16 miles of range too xD

Well done mate. I am glad to see that it kept up during the thunderstorm but I wonder, we’re there problems later? Water ingression is not instant and perhaps the problems came a few days or weeks later? Just asking because I’m not convinced of a product in which it’s own manufacturers void your warranty for any water damage.

Hey Ginger nice video. Good sound, good graphics, very informative. Just got my Ninebot Max yesterday. I'm in Oz and it's a derestricted 30kph version. Don't think I've got the same software as you cos doesn't show graphics as shown on your phone. Never mind, went for my first ride yesterday and I'm pretty impressed. There is some info that suggests that the motor has been upgraded from Gen 1 to Gen 2. I understand from some posts, that before the Gen 2 the speed of the scooter drops off considerably, when the battery level drops to around 70% charge. However that does not appear to be the case from your test data. It indicates that the speed is still very good until the battery reaches a much lower state of charge - perhaps say 20%. I understand that the Gen 1 motor serial numbers start with 6, whereas the newer Gen 2 motors have a serial number starting with 9. I am curious to know whether your test ride was on a Gen 1 or Gen 2 version of the scooter. Would appreciate any comments from you or your followers. Keep up the good work. Clive

Nice video. Thanks. What's the GPS recorder application you use(the one with the animations showing the distance)?

This is a great range test. I would like to know the app you are using at the end of the test?

Hi this is my first ever comment on RU-vid or pretty much anywhere online. This particular video was very interesting seeing as i just bought a Ninebot Max. Couldn't quite justify buying an Emove Cruiser...need the water resistance here in the UK. Your videos are all great, always with some good useful info. All this just pushed me to finally comment. Are you planning another Ninebot Max video? Does it still work after the soaking :) ? Anyway, thanks for getting drenched for RU-vid
