Just got my first scooter

[u/Pure-Tough8723]

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.

FYI that $1399 is fake 😅 scooter companies always do massive "discounts" all year long so it's basically regular price at this point

Is there something better you think I couldve gone with at that same price that is UL certified?

why do you even need to spend 900 on that piece of slow garbage? with 300 you could have gotten a xiaomi scooter thats bassicly the same or with the 900 a fuckin kukirin g2 master

Yeah, Kukirin's rep ain't so crash hot recently. Segway is solid gear. XiaoMi is also good but nothing for $300 is 'basically the same' as that particular Segway.

I appreciate your opinion. Come back and tell us about it when you have 5k miles on the clock.

Agree with you, my GT1 Segway has done 5,000 miles in heavy PNW rain and in heat, no problems at all, o creaking or stem wobbles, only needed to swap tires and brake pads 👌
