Why the Ninebot G30 remains one of our FAVOURITES

Why the G30?

When it comes to electric scooters, few models stand out quite like the Ninebot G30 (MAX or G30LP). At Swift, we’ve seen, repaired, and customized countless scooters, and the G30 consistently earns its place as one of our top picks. While not without its quirks, its durability, repairability, and incredible potential for customization make it a standout choice for both casual riders and enthusiasts. Here’s why we love it—and why you might too.


Durability That Goes the Distance

The Ninebot G30 is built tough. Its frame and components can handle a lot more than you’d expect from an e-scooter in its category. While we always advise against riding in rain or snow (to protect both the scooter and the rider), we’ve had customers bring in G30s that have seen it all—rainstorms, snowdrifts, muddy trails, and more. With proper maintenance, this scooter can last for years, making it an investment worth considering.


Ease of Repair and Resources Galore

One of the standout features of the G30 is how easy it is to repair. Need a new tire, brake pad, or battery replacement? Parts are widely available, with many of them conveniently stocked on Amazon. The scooter has a massive online community, and resources like tutorials and how-to guides are plentiful, helping DIYers tackle even complex repairs.

For those who aren’t comfortable with DIY fixes, our shop has a quick turnaround time for repairs. Ninebot scooters are designed with modularity in mind, which means we can get them back on the road faster than many other brands.


A Canvas for Customization

The Ninebot G30 is more than just a scooter—it’s a platform for endless customization. We’ve helped customers transform their G30s into true works of art, from custom paint jobs to unique sticker designs made specifically for this frame.

Beyond aesthetics, the scooter has an array of upgrade paths:

  • Speed Hacks: With a little know-how, you can unlock higher speeds.
  • Dual Suspension: Add suspension to improve comfort on bumpy rides.
  • Solid Tires: Forget about flats with durable solid tire upgrades.
  • Performance Kits: Complete upgrade packs can turn the G30 into a true beast, improving speed, range, and handling.

The ability to personalize and enhance the scooter means it’s always evolving to meet the rider’s needs.


The Price Tag: Is It Worth It?

We won’t sugarcoat it—the Ninebot G30 is on the expensive side, especially compared to scooters with similar wattage and speed. Its motor and top speed (usually around 18.6 mph) might not blow you away when compared to some competitors.

However, when you factor in its durability, ease of repair, and upgrade potential, the price becomes easier to justify. Many budget scooters fall apart after a year or two of use, whereas the G30, with proper care, can keep running strong for far longer.


A Scooter for All Seasons (Almost)

While no scooter is perfect, the Ninebot G30 comes close for riders who prioritize reliability and repairability. Whether you’re a commuter looking for a solid, dependable ride or an enthusiast who loves tinkering and upgrading, the G30 has something to offer.

At Swift, we’ve seen these scooters tackle all kinds of challenges, and with the right care, they’re almost unbeatable. Durable, customizable, and easy to fix, the Ninebot G30 is a scooter that grows with you.

So, is it worth the investment? In our opinion, absolutely. With the Ninebot G30, you’re not just buying a scooter—you’re buying a platform for years of riding and endless possibilities.

If you’re considering a Ninebot G30 or need help with repairs, upgrades, or customizations, Swift has you covered. Let’s make your ride truly yours.
