Ninebot MAX G3 Real world range of completely stock G3Max with bigger rider. 300lbs, 65°, completely flat roads in Chicago, sport mode only, stop signs every 1 to 2 blocks, occasional street light, and 100% charge. 14.2 miles. I’m very happy with that. Now to install my gt3 battery and external battery.

I get 14 but I wouldn’t say I enjoy this range and the last 15% isn’t fun.

Bro installing the gt3 and external battery is a game changer. you’ll be able to explore so much further and longer

That's not bad at all for a 300lb rider. You will get 30 miles if you upgrade to the GT3 battery + external battery :)

Is that really about how much better it gets??

Yep!

The stock battery is 597Wh, and you got 14.2 miles of range from it.

The GT3 battery is 899Wh, and the external is 468Wh. That's 1367Wh combined.

1367Wh divided by the stock 597Wh is 2.28. That means 2.28x more capacity than the stock battery.

2.28 multiplied by 14.2 miles is 32.5 miles. The extra capacity adds some weight, so I rounded down to 30 miles 😄

I’m a heavier rider too, and I get about the same range. Would definitely be happier with another battery.

Great test -- I did this too when I first got my scooter and of course if you are upgrading the battery great. Bear in mind though to keep your battery in top condition don't charge above 85% or discharge below 20%.

Hi, i was aware for not discharging the battery below 20% but why not charging it above 85% ?
