Cause

Error 27 occurs when rental vehicles are not properly STLinked or an incomplete firmware dump is used.

It can also be caused by using an old serial change method.

This error is the same across the Ninebot SNSC 1.0, SNSC 1.1,ES1, ES2, ES3, ES4, Ninebot G30/Max, G30P, G30D, G30E, and any other Ninebot G30 series scooter.

Fix

Temporary

To temporarily fix error 27, hold down the brake and throttle on boot up and release once it beeps.

This also acts as a sort of "lock" mechanism as failure to do this immediately after power-on results in a scooter that will continue beeping until it is turned off, though it is still able to be ridden.

Permanent

Change the serial number twice using a newer dAuth-supported serial change method.

Ninebot IAP, Ninebot-Flasher, and a ScooterHacking Utility all support this.

If that doesn't work, flashing a CFW using max.cfw.sh with error suppression 1 or more enabled will also solve the problem.
