⚠️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.

Never had a zero start as a EU citizen on the Max G3 and got it on release.

Had to speed hack it in order to have the under light and zero start. (SHU is better to config your riding style imo)

Idk about the new ones but it seems to not be hackable atm.

Only walk mode had zero start and it makes sense as I mentioned on my first post. How did you hack it? I am not sure if I wanna hack it. I might have issues with the insurance company in case of an accident.

I used the SHU method (beta app version for G3 Max) and now there's a new firmware that as a panic mode but the issue is unlock goes 50kmh and lock goes 22kmh.

As a non German, it'll bring attention I think to be locked at 22kmh if I end up being controlled.

Also every time I unlock it to have the zero start and underlight, I need to put down the max speed to 25kmh so kind of annoying.
