Question about Segway-Ninebot Max G30D II

Here are some points I have learned from personal experience:

Each country has its own legislation regarding speed and software for electric scooters.
Germany (and Switzerland) are relatively restrictive and only allow 20 km/h, no flashing brake lights and no cruise control (to mention a few examples).

But of course, since the scooter is always produced the same way, these restrictions take place in the software.
When you connect your app for the first time, you will be asked for your country (the corresponding settings are then automatically applied) - here are some examples:

Germany/Switzerland: max. 20 km/h, Cruise control: No, Brake lights: No

World/Worldwide (is also an option): max. 25 km/h, cruise control: Yes, Brake lights: Yes

America: max. 30 km/h - all permitted.

If you have selected a country and want to change it afterwards, you can do this via "hacker apps".
But be careful - when you connect for the first time, the app asks you to update the firmware on the scooter. This update makes it much more difficult to change anything afterwards. Which makes sense, since changing these settings is strictly speaking illegal.

Personally, I chose the Worldwide option. This is because cruise control was a purchase criterion for me and because 20 km/h is more dangerous than 25 km/h in my opinion.
This is simply because the speed limit for most e-transports is 25 km/h. So, if you are travelling at 20 km/h, you are not allowed to drive at that speed. So if you're driving at 20 km/h yourself, you're constantly having the dubious pleasure of breakneck overtaking manoeuvres. That was simply too dangerous for me on the road.

Everyone has to know for themselves. If you get stopped and your scooter is not limited to 20 km/h, you're in trouble.

If I were you, I would refrain from doing that altogether..at least on German roads. Enjoy the driving pleasure at the permitted speed 😉

Last year, a firmware update was released that made the whole thing impossible.
