It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Hello, I rented scooters from our local ride share program but they're very clunky and weak so I decided to order myself a Ninebot MAX G2 after looking at some reviews. It seems like it's a very new product but I'm curious about the availability of spare parts like tires which I expect will wear out even if they're "self-healing".

Does anyone have experience with getting spare parts either first party or third party for these or other Ninebot scooters? Are the front and rear tires typically the same?

Thanks!

I have that scooter. I wouldn't worry, the ninebot max is one of the most sturdy and supported products of all time, with plenty of tutorials on changing out any part (and presumably buying the parts). I would expect the G2 to be no different given some time.

However it is a very new product, and my first one had a bluetooth issue and had to be exchanged. Buy it in person from bestbuy

Otherwise I'd say just get a regular Max for half the price.

(the suspension is sweet tho)
