InMotion L9 vs Segway Ninebot Max: Best Commuter Scooter?

Andrew and I test and compare the Inmotion L9 electric scooter with the Segway Ninebot Max e-scooter to see how they stack up against each other. If you are looking for the best long range commuter scooter, these are two great options.I also announce the winner of our Inmotion L9 giveaway in this video.

I won! I can't believe it. Thank you so much Jimmy and #InMotion. I'm so

Nice vid. I ended up snagging a FFR Horizon on Black Friday, thanks to your video on the Turbowheel Swift. I'm enjoying your scooter content!

Isn't the whole point of turn signals, to signal *before* you make your turn.
Automatic turn signals are a useless gimmick. And if the lights are near the ground, they aren't very visible anyway.

Jimmy, I am proud to announce that I am the owner of a Brand New USED Onewheel! Yes, that pre-owned beauty only has 12 miles, but it is all about the presentation and transportation!

I'm enjoying my L9...it's a little tank, very sturdy, it glides up hills, handles dirt trails, and has a great range. Something you guys didn't compare was hill-climbing, which I believe has been compared on other videos...the L9 being superior. Nice video Jimmy!

[frankhooper]

Personally, I wouldn't consider the automatic lights to be turn-signals. Turn-signals are supposed to indicate what you're *going* to do rather than what you're actually doing. Don't get me wrong, I think they look cool.

Another great video, with Andrew again. Love when you guys review scooters. Jimmy n Andrew, would you guys agree that these scooter are a little on the heavy side for a commuter? If you need to carry these up stairs a lot or onto trains or buses it could get tiring.

I actually chose the G30LP and love it. It has a giant price difference between he max and I can do the addon without the 10 lb weight difference.

Hi Jimmy, first of all good video I see you from Peru. I have a query comparing those two models. According to the technical specifications, the L9 is superior to the Ninebot Max highlighting the motor battery and the autonomy it offers. And according to Inmotion Global the L9 reaches up to 59 miles (95km) of autonomy under strict considerations, it is obvious that a rider will never have that achievement, but at least it should reach 43 miles (70km), don't you think? Also, in other reviews and in a previous one of yours, I have seen that the L9 reaches up to 31 miles (49km) which, in my opinion, is bad since that route is a little more than what a Ninebot Max offers. Could you offer us one more video of an autonomy comparison between these two models of your video? Greetings.

Great review! In your testing, have you found things in the Ninebox Max that are better than the InMotion L9?

[Primal-Lo]

I have the Segway Ninebot Max and my brother have the Inmotion L9 and I hate how the L9 feel when driving due to being front wheel drive vs rear wheel drive on the Max

[drjphau]

For reliability definitely go for the segway

[gerobokmasa]

Hi... Can you do a comparison this two scooter with another Segway F40?

[ilyass]

First sorry for my bad english!
My inmotion l9 that i buy 2 days ago the suspension is not working at all very hard, i tried te adjust it with the -+ thing on the suspension but is not working!

Someone help pleas ?

[Sweetersweet]

They didn’t talk about the back wheels I think that makes the ninebot max better both wheels are air filled just add the suspension n it’s a better all around commute scooter good review tho

[davidagiel]

The inmotion L9 is double the price but worth it for the motor upgrade and suspension.

[winniepeg]

I have latest version of S1,
It's so much better than my son's max G30, but it's far too heavy to be considered a commuting scooter

[jezevcik]

Actually, Ninebot folding mechanism has different system than L9 altough it looks similiar, and on Ninebot it's far superior compared to the same system which has L9 and Xiaomi PRO which does have claw.
L9 and XIAOMI PRO mechanism type which on XIAOMI PRO after 100km is going to squeek and when you hit 2000 km it wiggles and you have to change it.

[AKA]

Love my inmotion.but definitely loses power that instant power after 80%. Dropping down to 29kmh from 31kmh.

[S-O-T]

how can a scooter that weighs 53 lb be a commuter scooter, it's a massive heavy scooter, with a small 12.5 ah battery, it's heavier than the emove cruiser with a 30ah battery
