Ninebot Max G30 Change Serial/Region

Changing a serial number is the same thing as changing the region on a Ninebot Max and is required for the scooter to reach top speed.

For the ESX/SNSC 1.0 series scooters, go to Ninebot ESX Change Serial Number.

Choosing a Serial Number

A serial number should be in the format N4GXAxxxxCxxxx.

Replace X with a letter below depending on how you want the scooter to show up in the segway app.

S - G30P (30kmh)

C - G30 (25kmh)

E - G30D (20kmh)

P - G30E (25kmh)

N - G30LP (30kmh)

A - G30LE (25kmh)

O - G30LE (25kmh)

M - G30LD (20kmh)

The next two sets of xxxx can be any 4 digits.

The A and C can be any letter.

Below are two serial number examples:

N4GCA1234C1234 - G30 Regular (25kmh limit)

N4GSA2020C2020 - G30P (30kmh limit)

Next, press "Change SN" and type your serial number out exactly as it was before, but change the 4th digit to the prefix you chose above.

Press "OK", then you should hear your scooter beep twice in quick succession.
