Segway G30P Ninebot MAX Electric Scooter

Just unboxed the ninebot Max 30LP and took for a ride. I rarely leave reviews but for this, based on the price, it is warranted. Its not all bad but as I write this, I think more disapointment than good-Some my own fault. I reviewed electric scooters for couple weeks before I bought. I bought an electric bike-not yet unboxed-for the wife and figured when we go to camp/boat around the northwest, we would use these to get 15 miles or less to and from the boat or campsite to a destination- Think places like Friday Harbor in San Juans. So, now after the first ride -The good - It fits a 5'10" frame well. I'm not bending over to control it. Platform size great for size 9 feet. Well balanced, easy to ride, handles packed gravel well. Uber easy to set up and fold down to carry. Light weight and even the wife can one arm it around. Looks to be sturdy construction and doesnt have the cheap chynee flavor 2 it. Has headlight and tail light-not that I will ride at night. Display large and easy to read and scroll pattern is intuitive. Has several safety features for those without situational awareness like needs a push start to 3 MPH before it will engage and go. Easily hits 19 MPH with me on a flat plane.Has three modes of speed allowance - Eco, D, and S (sport). I will always use on highest setting (sport) but from a safety perspective, those without athletic ability/situational awareness, set to Eco and you cant get really hurt.... Battery life - For those that dont know, you want to store LiPo batteries at 75% if you dont intend to use for several months. If you store at higher, theres a chance the batteries can discharge and develop detrimental memory. These were set from the factory right at 75% when unboxed. Someone was thinking for us...........So definitely a 4 or 5 of 5 when considering these parameters.Now the bad - I weigh 200#. The specifications state it can handle 220# and it can for sure. As noted, I can easily hit 19 MPH when on flat terrain. BUT their spec that says it can handle a 20% slope. Well that's just plain fantasy unless maybe you weigh 75#? I havent tested on multiple slopes yet but I can tell you it struggles on a 5% slope. So, for those adults that are in the 150 to 250 wt category, dont settle for a 350 Watt motor output. Size up >500 Watter. Yea, its more coin but you wont be disappointed riding slight hills with your wife on an E-Bike that will kick ur A@#. I am charging the battery to full and will try it again once fully charged and will revise review if full charge gets me up to 10% grade I just tested on. And, a silly 1 year max warranty on limited parts with 6 month or less on the actual stuff that will go bad like the electric motor.The Ugly - You have to use bluetooth to register and run this thing. I didnt know that when I bought it. Would have found a different one had I known. Why is this ugly? Its a chynee company. The registration/APP makes you a "known" entity to Segway at a minimum. They can share data-Email, phone number, and worse, to actually make the app work you have to give it "location tracking". Their guise is to allow you to "share with the Segway community". I tried several ways to deny this last one but it wont complete the bluetooth handshake without selecting approve location share. You end up in a do loop otherwise.Bottom line, based on the price, engineering that went in, ease of use, its a decent scooter for the money. I dont know with the location tracking this would be appropriate for child, not sure.Hope this review helps others decide.
