Segway has long been a leader in the world of micromobility, a legacy that began with its quirky personal transporter in 1999 and evolved into a big force in electric scooters. The Ninebot Max series has been a large part of that evolution, blending reliability, range, and practicality into a package that’s earned it a loyal following. Now, with the new Ninebot Max G3, unveiled at CES 2025 and now available for pre-order, Segway is pushing the envelope further.

Aiming to cement its flagship as the ultimate daily driver for commuters, adventurers, and casual riders. Priced at $899 during the pre-order window (bumping up to $1,399), the Max G3 promises premium performance, cutting-edge tech, and a sleek redesign. But does it live up to the hype or not? After spending some time with this third-generation scooter, here’s my take.

At first glance, the Ninebot Max G3 feels like a pretty natural evolution of its predecessors, but with a updated twist that’s hard to ignore. The frame is crafted from a high-strength aluminum alloy, giving it a strong yet lightweight feel. It weighs roughly 54 pounds, it’s hefty but manageable. Segway claims the chassis has endured 500,000 suspension durability tests and a simulated 20,000 km of random vibrations. The matte black finish, accented with subtle red highlights, gives off a premium vibe, while the curved handlebar and wider deck (upgraded from previous models) enhance ergonomics overall.
