Been running prototype versions of this mod since March of 2020. Best money you can spend on the Max. Chris is a great guy and I would recommend his gear to anyone who feels like their Max could use more grunt. Awesome upgrade.
Is it more worth it to upgrade to the Fat Max Motor or do this battery upgrade? What happens if you upgrade both? Is there prone failure to certain parts?
Haven’t finished watching yet but gotta give you your flowers man. 1) your review is the reason why I bought my ninebot Max ! 2) didn’t even know this existed ! I came to ask if you find anything better than the Voro Emove. For the price, speed and mileage that one really seems so perfect ! Appreciate your channel man !!
Thanks for the flowers 💐 😘 . I actually had a friend who was new to scooters come and ride the emove and the modded Ninebot and he preferred the Ninebot. Fun fact.
my update always fails i have g30lp it goes 32kmwith the speedboost on with SHUT (i want my g30lp to go to 40km) im in canada so US region basically so you cant flash firmware in 2024 anymore?
Hey ginger love the video. Tell me if I missed this but fors this also upgrade the range of the Max or is it still 40 mile range? Sending love from Ride With Anthony!
i just looked at the battery upgrade and they are out of stock....ahhhhhhh.... To be able to increase from 30kmh\ to 50 km\h is so worth the price. I laugh because I bought mine and though wow this is fast enough. Saw your video and now its way to slow....The need for speed baby. I would kill to have 1 that goes 80 or 100 km\h Just not wanting to spend that much. I could buy a car or truck or daum....Good video my friend. Cheers
9:33 G30's standard battery is 36V, you put it parallel with a 48V battery with a Y-connector. Should it explode, or is there something 'nifty' in that Y-connector? When putting batteries parallel, they should have the same voltage give or take 0.1V, right?
@@melardenio I’m not sure about series connection because then you’ll increase the voltage, 36v + 48v then the scooter will be running on 84v, I’m still not sure what type of connection the put in there, but I will find out really soon, my kit comes in today and I will be able to tell you guys all about it on a detailed video.
Nope. Doesn't work unless you get your hands on an old controller and put it in your scooter. They also sell the controllers you need for this upgrade on mymaxmods.com
Was wondering why you didn't mention possibly mounting the battery bag to the center of the handlebar stem.....? Looks like it would fit and keep that front area clear for your footing. Also if there were a problem with the bag sliding down you could purchase one of the many plastic hooks that mount to the stem and secure it that way....? Just a thought. Seems like it would be out of the way and still look good.
Gingy, thank you for all these videos for the Segway Ninebot Max G30. Mine arrived the other day and got the Gen 2. Am still exploring it and wished I had gotten a seat for it too as my legs star to cramp after riding for 15 mins.
I've used a 12v 7ah battery and 12v 14ah and now am running a 12v 17ah battery all AGM batteries. I'm 260lbs and with my current tune ive hit 28.583mph!
I wonder if this mod is going to be available for the MAX G2 coming out in July 2023 for us in USA? They seem like the same scooter other than the new version has shocks now vs the older mod.
I use xyio flasher or whatever you call it to try and upgrade the power on my scooter. But now it doesn't go higher than 20 km. So warning Anyway will this battery booster override the downgrade I upload it to my scooter? And another thing, is there a comparable at to scooter companion?
ginge when you put the bag on with the battery you should of pushed the bag up the bar a bit more so you can get your foot under it i done it with my aovo pro2 and you can still fold it dwn well you can on mine
Hi Ginger, thank you for the video. I recently installed the 48v. External kit...really easy ...BUT ,lol... I don't know how to download to make it work...I keep getting code 24...I'm lost ! lol... can you help me with this?
Hey nice video. So I have a few questions regarding the mod. 1 how does the controller negotiate the 2 voltages? 2 the USB ports, does it draw power while the scooter is not running. 3 how is the power usage prioritize? Booster pack first then internal battery? Thanks
The two batteries are hooked together in series so the scooter controller just sees one large 48v battery instead of a small 12v and medium 36v. It uses power from them both at the same time while running. The USB ports only use power when the scooter is turned on.
Can you mod this scooter out with bigger tires, and more range, top speed. I want to do group rides with this and go to the gym, grocery store. Do you know where I can get this scooter st a discount.
Hey Ginger I'm currently trying to install the pack. But I've run into a problem my scooter after installing the firmware and connecting the cords I'm no longer getting a reading for the battery percentage on my scooter. I've tried contacting the seller but am yet to receive a response so I was wondering if maybe you had any ideas as to why this may be. Thanks
Hey ginger is there an app to download for iPhone? I have the file I have everything installed but now my scooter is useless because I can’t update the firmware.
I have not.... but I'd bet money that you could find another battery on Alibaba for that scooter. I opened up the deck on mine and there is a surprising amount of unused space under the deck...
So I’m confused. When you do this are you disabling the battery that comes with it? Is it running on both? For example can you ride on the 48v and then when that runs out switch over to the stock 36v for additional range?
In drains in tandem with the stock pack so they both run out around the same time. You bring up a good point though, the aux pack gas a separate charger and needs to be charged separately to full each time.
The link to their downloads wasn't available until sometime yesterday. I'm going for a test run today. Thanks again for your help and keep those videos coming!
Hey! I just got this battery but when plugging it in to charge it (it says to do so before installation) there is no indicator that it’s charging. Am I doing something wrong?
Hello. I was wondering if you know how to downgrade my firmware. Because I bought mine second hand. And I accidentally switched the region to DE and I need to switch it back to U.S. I have seizures and heart failure and this is how I get around to my appointments. Please let me know if you're able to help me. Thank you
Had literally same thoughts here, doing RC flying and cars for many years, it will break one of your batteries in the long run, unless BMS is smart enough and notice a lower voltage of a cell, and stops to continue driving.
You have to monitor and charge both batteries. They usually drain equally assuming you have charged both equally. When I am down to 20-30% on internal my external is about the same

Hey Ginger for that grommet piece you can probably use Sugru moldable glue to make a new seal around it.
Very true! Or just some flexible silicone sealant / caulking.

Check part 2
Is there a video anywhere that shows the 48v battery upgrade paired with the fatmax 500v motor upgrade?
Just bought one! Can't wait
I know this is a year later but how’s the modded battery
Is that illegal to do in NYC
I believe so.
Does this work with other similar models? I just bought the Ninebot F40. They look to have similar builds but I wasn't sure, thanks!
Any way to get the regenerative breaking to work again?

Hey ginger when you put it back to 36v do you of to flash it again to go back to 48v???
You don't need to flash it to go back to 36V
what will happen if you don't install the firmware update?
guys does it work on 2023 cuz you cant flash custom firmware any more
Nope. Doesn't work unless you get your hands on an old controller and put it in your scooter. They also sell the controllers you need for this upgrade on mymaxmods.com
Where i can buy all that parts ?

It will fit up front and are kits to mount it in front :)
I'm wondering if you removed internal charger the 12 v battery would fit
No, didn't look like enough room to do it safely.
if i have a clone version of this, can i still do all these mods?
I don't think so because the firmware would be different but I can't say for certain. Only one way to find out
Does the speed app work for the Highboy S2
Can this damage the scooter besides the water proofing
hey there enjoying your videos. that bottom plastic cabin cover / battery cover…is it the same size for a g30 as a g30lp? thanks
Yes same size decks.

where I can buy 48 volt kit? current link is dead already
I have recently purchased the segway f30/ exactly the same as the max but less range will this work on my scooter thx
Hey do they make one for the hiboy pro I want to upgrade it to a 72 V
Can i du dis on g2 max,and if the 48v battery goes out in ride,does the other stop woorking and hau do you no hau much yuce is left?tnx
I wonder what happens when you leave out in the sun or hot day
LOL
Can I do this with the es4 battery ?
So you connected stock 36V battery with 48V upgrade kit?
hi, great video! do you have anything similar to this for the ninebot F40?
Can you Use it on Author brands as well?
Cool stuff. There are 2 zip files on the site. One day internal and one says external firmware ??
This is the external kit. (Battery lives outside the scooter deck)
Hi Ginger, do you have any experience moding the F20A with this battery, I can’t see why not?
I don't know if the stock firmware or controller would allow for reflashing on that scooter.

I'm afraid everything I know about how to install these things is in the video. I'd email mymaxmods if you have more questions about it.
How long does it take to charge the 12.4 vol battery?
Does it not work if you have an iPhone ?
does it work for the Hiboy S2? if not can you do a video on how to do it on the hiboy s2?
does this work on the light profile version too ?

Ok, I asked about the Firmware update for my new G30. I want to remove the kick to start. How can I go about this?
Any option like this for the emove cruiser? If can double the range of that thing that'd be sweet!
Yeah. It'd be custom but it's not hard. Just need to wire another pack in parallel with a splitter. Good to go.
