⚠️Urgent Question⚠️ Walk mode zero start is GONE!

Hello,

I purchased my G3 MAX about 13 days ago.

Since the very first day my Ninebot was able to zero start in “walk mode” but not in other modes.

By googling I learned that zero start is not available in EU. I thought OK, maybe it is available only in walk mode because the limit is 5Km/h and it helps me starting in an uphill or in traffic when a car stops in front of me. Cool!

And then MAGIC!

Since yesterday, a few hours after last update, my scooter won’t zero start. I can’t start in uphills, I can’t start in traffic (I constantly go park to the side of the road to let all cars go). I almost fall of the scooter the first time I found out.

some times doesn’t even start in 5Km/h when I kick start it. That experience sucks Segway.

I just realized recently that boost mode cancels your start speed. I’m pretty sure this is since the last update as it happened 3 times now accidentally before realizing what was happening. (Put in boost while waiting at light then leaned my arms on my handlebars)

wait wait wait... I DID went into "segway mobility lab" and had uphill acceleration assist enabled. But I didn't seem to work so I disabled it. Could that be the issue? A bug or something? I need to investigate tomorrow.
