It's no coincidence to go around the city and see delivery companies and couriers traveling from one end to the other on these, slightly modified so that the handlebars cannot be folded. It's the undeniable proof that these are reliable scooters in which one can place their trust.

Design and Portability

The Ninebot MAX G30E II stands out for its robust and elegant design, ideal for urban users looking for an efficient and long-lasting transportation solution. Available in a sleek black color with yellow accents, this electric scooter combines functionality and style. Weighing 19.1 kg (approximately 42.1 pounds), it is relatively easy to carry when it cannot be ridden, although it is heavier than some other models. Its foldable design allows for convenient storage in small spaces, making it practical for city life.

Construction

The construction of the Ninebot MAX G30E II is solid and built to last. It has an IPX7 certification, which ensures that no water enters the electrical components thanks to its silicone sealing. It uses high-quality materials and a robust aluminum alloy that promises long-term strength and durability. Its chassis is designed to withstand daily wear and tear and adverse urban conditions, from potholes to uneven terrain. The wide, non-slip platform ensures comfort and safety, providing a stable posture during the ride. One thing we didn't like was the height of the deck, as it's easy to hit the curb with the scooter's base in urban areas.

Setup and Usability

Setting up the Ninebot MAX G30E II is a simple and intuitive process. From unboxing to the first ride, everything can be done quickly. The mobile app, available for both iOS and Android, allows users to adjust settings such as riding modes and monitor the scooter's performance in real-time. Clear and detailed instructions make the experience accessible even for less tech-savvy users.

Folding Functionality

The folding functionality of the Ninebot MAX G30E II is effective and practical. With a quick folding mechanism, it can be reduced in size within seconds, making it easier to transport and store. This feature is especially useful for those who need to combine different modes of transportation or want to save space at home or in the office. The locking system ensures that the scooter remains compact and secure when not in use.

Riding and Performance

The Ninebot MAX G30E II offers a superior riding experience and impressive performance. Equipped with a 350W motor (peak of 700W) at the rear and a 551Wh lithium-ion battery, this scooter provides smooth acceleration and a top speed of 25 km/h (approximately 15.5 mph), ideal for urban environments. The 10-inch tubeless tires ensure a stable and comfortable ride, even on uneven surfaces. The front drum brakes and rear electric brakes provide quick and safe response in emergency situations, enhancing safety while braking.

Handlebars and Display

The handlebar of the Ninebot MAX G30E II is ergonomically designed to offer comfort during long journeys. The integrated LED display on the handlebar is clear and easy to read, showing crucial information such as speed, battery level, riding mode, and lights. The integration of front and rear lights, along with side reflectors, ensures visibility and safety at night or in low-light conditions, meeting European safety standards.

Range and Recharging

With an impressive range of up to 65 km (approximately 40.4 miles) on a single charge, the Ninebot MAX G30E II is ideal for long commutes without worrying about running out of battery. The recharge time is approximately 6 hours, allowing the scooter to be ready in no time. The integrated charger, though it slightly increases the weight, makes it easy to recharge anywhere with a power outlet. The Battery Management System (BMS) protects against overcharging, excessive discharge, overheating, and short circuits, ensuring a prolonged battery life.

Final Thoughts

The Ninebot MAX G30E II is an exceptional choice for those looking for an electric scooter that combines style, functionality, and performance. Its robust design, durable construction, and ease of use make it an indispensable tool for urban mobility. The impressive range and ride quality ensure a satisfying experience for users of all levels. With features such as the powerful motor, efficient brakes, and informative LED display, the Ninebot MAX G30E II redefines what is expected from an electric scooter in today’s market.
