Segway MAX G3 vs Segway Ninebot Max G2
Both MAX generations have suspension. The MAX G2 has a 551 Wh battery and front hydraulic/rear double suspension; the MAX G3 adds newer suspension and braking hardware; the older MAX G2 may suit a buyer who finds a meaningful clearance saving. The MAX G3's Australian supplied maximum is 25 km/h, so overseas high-speed figures are not a reason to buy it. Check the exact version, battery condition and current seller stock for either model.

Australian configuration
Segway MAX G3: Segway Australia publishes 25 km/h for this supplied configuration. Overseas or modified modes are not the Australian specification and do not establish public-riding 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.
Carrying weight: a source conflict
MAX G3 weight needs an exact-unit check: the Australian store's specification graphic lists 24.3 kg, while Segway's Australian manufacturer table lists 24.6 kg for model 051601A. The catalogue retains the store's 24.3 kg reference; ScootFinder has not weighed it. Confirm the delivered unit before planning regular stair carrying.
Range and availability
ScootFinder estimates 56 km and 55 km respectively. Neither scooter has been physically tested by ScootFinder; hills, load, weather and speed change actual range. Seller checks are dated on the model pages and are not live delivery guarantees.
