Just got my G3 Max. Loving it
Just got my G3 Max on Friday night and I already put about 50 miles. It’s my first scooter.
The thing is beefy! It does OK on off road… I’m curious how the ZT3 would have handled it. It isn’t the ride height or tires, but just suspension comfort going on non paved service roads.
On the paved trails, I’m getting more comfortable with it. I was ripping it on some paved trails at a park today in drive mode. I could have gone faster, but there are some pedestrians and I felt it was more respectful not flying past people going almost 30.
On roads, the 28mph is great. Honestly I feel good enough that if the speed was more, I’d still feel comfortable with it. I went on some overpasses (steep climbs) and it did perfectly fine with it.
The biggest con for me is the battery life. I got 14 miles and mix of sport and drive and I was at like 35% battery. I know people are putting the gt3 battery in it, but I’m not sure about that just yet. I might give the external battery a try. I wasn’t ready to go home yet, but I started heading home when battery was at %50.
I also wish there was a sport mode at 20mph and sport+ at 28… 20 is a great sweet spot for cruising. 28 is awesome but really eats the battery. Drive mode is great for paved trails you might share with pedestrians.
I was going to get the st3 or the f3. I’m glad I went with the G3. I truly love it.
Thought about dt2 pro for the speed and range but it’s getting little heavy for me since I want to be able to put this inside a plane. Even g3 is pushing it on weight. I wanted to stay at ~40lb range.
Overall, it really is a fun gadget to have!
