I have a writeup in progress that will document the things about the Segway Max G3 electric scooter that I really dislike. (Sneak preview: If I had test ridden one first, I would not have gotten one. Period.)

But, as I learn that more and more owners are experience the same jerky throttle issue that is my #1 complaint, I thought I’d post this quick update. Inside the Segway app, the jerky motion is addressed with the following entry about a hardware issue:

Perhaps this is why all the YouTubbers have amazing, fantastic glowing “reviews” of the scooter, and then there are those of us experience absolutely awful throttle control wondering why none of them mentioned how bad this scooter rides.

More to come… (Including how awful the range is on this $1200 scooter.)
