Yes if you unlock the speed
How do you do this ?
"apparently" somewhere I saw to install scooterhack on Google play and change the 4th digit in to reflect different country codes. With doing so it unlocks example F65 model to 30ks and cruise control. This model probably unlocks to 32ks. There are other hacks out there that take it further but wouldn't push it too much. Just Google it.
@Headless: "apparently" ;) also heard xiaodash firmware makes them go even faster. But with the risk of burning parts as up the A and other settings. With xiaodash you need to open to access the control board. This voids the warranty.
@Mikael: send me a DM and ill shoot anyone the apk file, just connect via Bluetooth and wallah took me all of 30seconds
@Headless: Sorry, think you misunderstood. Already done mine and after flashed with xiaodash. Thanks though. Massive difference after.
Almost legal in SA.
Advertiser article text:
The government is expected to draft legislation allowing the use of private e-scooters, after a survey showed respondents supported their use.
The government is expected to draft legislation allowing the use of private e-scooters after 87 per cent of respondents supported their use on public roads and paths.
It will also consider changing the age restriction for personal mobility devices to 16 years – a reduction from the current 18 years – and review speed limits on public infrastructure such as footpaths and bike lanes.
Infrastructure and Transport Minister Tom Koutsantonis said the results of the survey were “unequivocal”, with 1822 people having their say and 87 per cent supporting the ongoing use of e-scooters on public roads and paths.
“About half of the survey participants indicated that they already use the fleet e-scooters that are currently permitted under trial, on average travelling between one and 3km per trip,” he said.
“It’s clear there is an appetite for sustainable modes of transport including first and last mile options, and this understanding will now inform a future framework currently under consideration for personal mobility devices, which will help ensure their future use is safe for all road users.”
Almost 95 of respondents were from metropolitan Adelaide, 50 per cent were aged 30-49 years, and more than 70 per cent were male.
Survey participants were asked about device weight restrictions, speed limits, insurance and registration.
Respondents generally supported allowing foldable e-scooters to be carried on public transport for first and last mile travel, and there was greater support for the option of ‘on-road’ travel such as bike lanes.
The final report noted the YourSAy respondents supported a significantly higher speed limit of 25km/h than recommended under the National Transport Commission for the safe use of PMDs.
However, the majority of responses supported lower speeds of 10km/h for footpaths.
Respondents supported the higher speed limit when in bike lanes and on roads, where permitted, and ongoing support for riders to wear helmets, not use a mobile phone, and have a blood alcohol limit of 0.05 per cent.
“E-Scooters and other personal mobility devices are becoming more and more popular around the world, including here in Adelaide where more than one million e-scooter trips have been recorded since 2020 under council-driven trials.
“Because of their popularity and benefits for sustainability and mobility, we committed to meaningful engagement with South Australians to deliver a sustainable and future-proof law reform.”
What is the best value, yet portable, electronic scooter?
Just because it's the most powerful does not make it the most portable.
Depends what you use scooter for. If commuting lot and long distance I would go g2 g65 or something like that. If not like me going in fairly long rides on smooth roads and not too fussed about the extra bumpiness go with f65. Some models have suspensions. Range on my F65 is said to be 65km. Furthest I've gone is 45 but didn't drain battery. . These are ninebots but are so many others out there.
So is this one better than the max g2? Because that one is never this cheap.
To answer my question. They’re both similar with the g2 a little better.
The G2 is newer model (2023) where as the Max 2 is the 2022 model. Hence the price difference. Little between them besides little better suspension, power, range. But for extra $500 for the G2, hardly worth it IMO.
Can this scooter go over 25ks ?
