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.

Invest in a solid electric air pump and it wont go flat any time soon.

I have a bicycle pump at the house or could always take it to my local gas station in my car. Im only using it on my school campus. Is a pump a must have on you at all times type of item?

I think so yeah, I attribute having only had one flat on my scooters in 6000km ridden to checking and topping up the tyre pressure weekly.

What I did was buy a cheap battery powered pump from aliexpress, I can try and find the listing if you're interested.
