Australian configuration
NIU KQi3 Max: The catalogue retains the published capability for this older model. Confirm the exact Australian version; do not treat a riding-mode limit as proof of public-use eligibility.
Segway Ninebot Max G2: Segway-Ninebot Australia publishes 25 km/h for the MAX G2 supplied configuration. Overseas 35 km/h figures or an app mode do not establish the Australian device specification or public-riding eligibility.
