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.

Congratulations! Got my Max G2 couple months ago. These items are must imo: Helmet (mountain bike or full face motorcycle, armored jacket, knee pads, riding gloves. I had my first fall wearing only a bicycle helmet and got major road rash. After recovering I ordered all the personal protective gear I could get my hands on.

Most riders don’t gear up this much but I think it’s worth it!

I was about to say too much but I have the same scooter and the only thing I don't have for it is the armored jacket.

Get one if you can. Totally worth the peace of mind. You never know what kind of fall/accident is around the corner.

Resume the surgery return my shoulder after I went down from an unexpected pothole.

Thank God I was at least wearing a helmet, the giant dent in it turned what likely would’ve been missing half the skin from my face and a skull fracture if not brain bleed into a mild concussion.
