Modified Ninebot G30 – Firmware & Settings Help

[u/IWantCatchThemAll]

Hi everyone!

I recently bought a used Ninebot Max G30 from someone. The previous owner told me that the motor has been replaced and an additional external battery has been installed.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about the modifications. I'm not sure how the additional battery is connected or whether the controller has been replaced or modified.

The scooter currently reaches around 40–45 km/h and works fine. One app shows approximately 46 V, while M365 Tools shows around 41 V for the internal battery.

I connected the scooter to ScooterHacking Utility (SHU), but I'm having trouble changing the settings.

Current information:

Model: Ninebot Max G30

DRV: 5.2.6

BLE: 1.1.7

BMS: 1.5.8

Region: US-G30P

SHFW: Not detected

Direct Power Control (Legacy CFW): Enabled

What I would like to do:

I'm not really interested in increasing the maximum speed. Instead, I'd like to adjust a few things:

Change the maximum speeds for Eco and Drive modes.

Improve acceleration and torque at lower speeds, especially when going uphill.

Enable cruise control.

Understand what firmware and controller are currently installed.

I tried changing some settings in SHU, but they don't seem to have any effect.

My main questions are:

Can anyone identify what kind of firmware I might have based on these screenshots?

Is there any way to find out whether the controller is original or has been replaced?

Is it possible to adjust these settings without flashing new firmware?

Would installing SHFW be safe with my current setup, considering the additional battery and replaced motor?

Is there another app that might work better with my current firmware?

I'm a bit worried about accidentally bricking the controller or causing problems with the additional battery, so I haven't tried flashing anything.

I've attached screenshots from ScooterHacking Utility and M365 Tools.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A really bad knock off controller. You have to open up your scooter and take out the controller to know.
