The Segway Ninebot MAX G30 Electric Scooter is a proven urban commuter featuring a 350W rear-wheel-drive motor, a 36V 551Wh battery, speeds of up to approximately 30 km/h (18.6 mph) in the Americas-region configuration, and a manufacturer-rated range of up to 65 km (40.4 miles). With 10-inch self-sealing tubeless pneumatic tires, front drum and rear regenerative braking, a built-in 3A charger, Smart BMS, Segway app connectivity, IPX5 water resistance, and a practical folding chassis, the MAX G30 remains a strong choice for riders who value reliability, range, and low-maintenance everyday commuting.

Why riders choose the Segway Ninebot MAX G30
Segway Ninebot MAX G30: 551Wh Range, Braking & Commuter Practicality
A closer look at the Segway MAX G30 motor, 551Wh battery, rated range, self-sealing tires, braking and everyday commuter ownership.
01 Power
350W rear motor with G30 and G30P speed differences
The Segway Ninebot MAX G30 uses a 350W rear-wheel-drive motor. Segway lists the standard G30 at up to 25 km/h, while the G30P market variant is listed at up to 30 km/h; both share a maximum gradient rating of approximately 20%.
Regional speed configuration matters when comparing listings, so the model suffix and local settings should be checked rather than assuming every MAX G30 has the same top speed.

G30 and G30P speed ratings differ by market configuration. Local software settings, rider load, temperature and traction can also affect maximum speed.

02 Range
36V 551Wh battery with up to 65 km listed range
A 36V 551Wh battery provides up to 65 km of manufacturer-listed range under suitable test conditions. The built-in charging system takes about six hours for a full charge.

65 km is the manufacturer's figure, measured on flat ground, in warm weather, with a light rider holding a steady low speed. Vancouver hills, winter temperatures and stop-start traffic all cost you range. We have not yet run our own road test on this one; when we do, the tested figure goes in the spec table beside the claim.

03 Ride feel
Drum and regenerative braking with 10-inch self-sealing tires
The G30 combines a front drum brake with rear regenerative braking and 10-inch self-sealing tubeless tires. It has no dedicated suspension, so the pneumatic tires provide an important part of its ride comfort.

Brakes need bedding in when new and checking after the first hundred kilometres. Whatever the specification says, an unbedded pad stops badly.

04 In the rain
IPX5 protection with built-in front and rear LED lighting
Segway lists the MAX G30 with IPX5 water resistance plus built-in front and rear LED lighting. The integrated lighting improves everyday visibility, while the sealed commuter design is intended for normal road spray rather than deep-water exposure.
IPX5 is a laboratory water-resistance rating, not a waterproof guarantee. Avoid immersion, deep standing water and pressure washing, and dry the charge area before connecting power.

05 Carrying it
18.7 kg to carry
18.7 kg, folded to 1167 × 423 × 534 mm. The number that decides whether a scooter gets used is rarely the range — it is whether you can carry it up a flight of stairs, into a boot or onto a bus rack without planning your day around it. Rated to 100 kg, so the weight it carries and the weight you carry are both accounted for.
Weight and folded size are a trade against everything else on this page. Bigger batteries, real suspension and proper brakes all add mass, and the right answer depends entirely on whether your ride ends at a bike rack or at the top of three flights. Be honest about which one you have.
18.7 kgWeight
100 kgMax rider weight
18.7 kg is a two-handed lift for most people, not a one-handed one. If it has to go on a bus rack or up stairs daily, come and pick it up in the shop first.
Segway Ninebot MAX G30 Electric Scooter
The Segway Ninebot MAX G30 is a long-range commuter scooter built around a 350W rear-wheel-drive motor and a 551Wh battery. Segway rates the G30 for a typical range of approximately 65 km, while the standard G30 configuration is listed at up to 25 km/h. Market-specific G30P versions use a higher 30 km/h setting, so model designation matters when comparing MAX G30 specs.
Ten-inch tubeless self-sealing pneumatic tires help reduce puncture-related downtime, while a front drum brake and rear electronic brake provide a low-maintenance braking setup. The built-in charger, one-step folding system, Smart-BMS and IPX5 water-resistance rating helped make the MAX G30 a widely used everyday commuter platform.
MAX G30 vs. Segway MAX G2
The G30 is the simpler, proven platform for riders who value range and straightforward maintenance. The newer Segway MAX G2 adds suspension and a more modern feature set for riders prioritizing ride comfort. Browse the full Segway Ninebot collection for other current models.
Who Is the Segway MAX G30 Best For?
At approximately 19 kg, the G30 is lighter than many modern performance commuters and is well suited to paved daily travel, storage at work or home and riders who do not need high-speed performance. Segway's 65 km typical-range figure is based on controlled test conditions, so real-world distance varies with speed, rider weight, temperature, hills and tire pressure.
One number would be easier to print and harder to trust. Here is what the manufacturer claims, and what actually changes it.

What our customers say
Unedited reviews from riders across the Lower Mainland — and a few who crossed the border just to see us.
I drove all the way from Seattle to bring my daughter's scooter to ProMechBC and I could not be more pleased with both the repairs and the customer service. I will definitely be bringing the scooter North of the border when it needs some love.

Recently had an accident with my Apollo Go — luckily nothing major was damaged, but it still needed some repair and replacement parts. Service was great, and I got my scooter back within a week. :D

The service was incredibly fast, professional and efficient — they fixed my scooter wheel quickly and the quality of the repair was outstanding. Honest, reliable, professional and fast.
Segway lists the MAX G30P at up to 30 km/h. The available speed can depend on the regional version, firmware, riding mode, and applicable local rules.
Segway lists up to approximately 65 km under efficient test conditions. Actual range varies with speed, rider weight, hills, temperature, wind, tire pressure, acceleration, and riding mode.
The MAX G30P uses a 350W nominal rear motor. It is designed for dependable urban commuting and moderate hills rather than the stronger acceleration and climbing performance of newer high-output models.
The MAX G30 is best for riders who value proven commuter reliability, long manufacturer-rated range, low-maintenance braking, and a simple folding design. Riders prioritizing suspension and newer connected features may prefer the MAX G2.
The MAX G30P uses a 551Wh battery. Segway lists approximately 6 hours for a standard full charge, depending on the starting charge level, temperature, and battery condition.
The MAX G30 combines a front drum brake with rear electronic braking. The enclosed drum brake is designed for relatively low routine maintenance, while electronic braking adds controlled deceleration.
The MAX G30 uses 10-inch tubeless self-sealing tires and does not use mechanical suspension. The air-filled tires provide cushioning, but rough roads will feel firmer than on the suspension-equipped MAX G2.
The MAX G30P weighs approximately 19.1 kg and supports up to 100 kg. It folds for storage and is easier to manage than many newer long-range scooters, although frequent carrying can still be inconvenient.
The MAX G30 scooter body is rated IPX5. This provides water resistance for normal outdoor use, but the scooter should not be submerged, pressure-washed, or stored while wet.
Yes. The Segway-Ninebot app supports ride information and compatible vehicle settings. The scooter also includes an onboard display, front light, rear brake light, and electronic riding modes.
The MAX G30 is lighter and mechanically simpler, while the MAX G2 adds suspension, a higher rider-load rating, stronger motor output, traction control, turn indicators, and Apple Find My support. The G30 remains attractive when simplicity and lower weight matter most.
