General Just got my first scooter

Post image

After browsing the sub for a week or so, making a post to ask for advice and reviewing the options given to me, Ive opted for the Segway Max G2. I just opened it, set it up and gave it the first test rides. As of now, I am very happy with my purchase. I spent $883 for the scooter (Best buy had it for $799 for Labor Day Sale instead of $1399), and a Hover 1 Helmet with a detachable visor (was on sale for only $10) so overall I feel like it is a good deal to pay $880 for a scooter that would otherwise be double in price. The suspension feels really good, the app is very intuitive and its honestly a blast. Thank you to everyone who took the time to write back on my post. Ill update in a few months and tell you all if I am still as satisfied with my purchase.

I get flamed by knockoff clone riders all the time for saying this, but the “three Ns” are the by far the best entry-level scooter brands on the market: Ninebot, NIU and Navee.

I got a lot of those comments too. I understand once you’re deep into the hobby but its like saying, I should not buy a camry as a first car because with that money I can buy a tuned and built car from the 2000s. Maybe so, but I am looking for stability, reliability and just a comfortable ride that will not give me any issues as a new driver if that makes sense.

Exactly. I took my drivers license test in a relatively new Toyota Corolla and after that my old man let me use our BMW X3 SUV after I passed the test. The difference in handling and quality is miles better but the price is like double. So you do get what you pay for in every product out there in the market.
