Segway Ninebot MAX G2: How to Configure Top Speed — Complete 2026 Guide
Why your Segway Ninebot MAX G2 is limited to 25 km/h
If you've bought a Segway Ninebot MAX G2, you'll have noticed that the factory top speed is 25 km/h. That limit isn't arbitrary: Segway-Ninebot applies it to comply with European regulations on riding electric scooters on public roads.
The MAX G2's 900W brushless motor, however, is built to push well beyond that limit. With advanced configuration you can tap into that potential in minutes, without touching a single bolt.
⚠️ First things first: don't update anything in the Segway app
This applies both before and after installing the code: do not run any update from the Segway-Ninebot app. Updates released by Segway are the most common reason configurations stop working. If the app offers you one, ignore it and close the screen.

MAX G2 specs: what it can really do
- 900W brushless motor — among the most powerful in its class
- Range up to 70 km thanks to RideyLONG technology
- Dual suspension — hydraulic at the front, spring at the rear
- 10-inch tubeless tyres with self-healing gel
- 4 riding modes: Eco, Drive, Sport and Pedestrian
- IPX5 certification — water resistant
A 900W motor held at 25 km/h is clearly underused: that's exactly why so many MAX G2 owners go looking for a different configuration.
The two possible methods
Firmware modification — not recommended
The oldest method involves replacing the original firmware with a modified version. Popular back in the days of the old ES1, ES2 and ES4, it comes with real problems:
- It voids the warranty immediately and permanently
- Risk of bricking: the scooter can become unusable if something goes wrong
- Incompatibility with future updates
- Complex procedures: unofficial APKs, unstable connections, advanced technical steps
- Not available for every model: several recent firmware versions include anti-flash protections
Digital configuration code — recommended
The Velocodix code is a digital license key that changes the settings directly on the controller over Bluetooth, without replacing the original firmware. Simple, quick procedure, reversible by entering the code again, no risk of bricking, instant delivery by email with full instructions.
How to activate it
- Buy the code on velocodix.it: you receive it straight away by email along with the instructions. If you don't see it, check your spam folder.
- Get the scooter ready: turn on Bluetooth, fully close the Segway-Ninebot app, switch on the MAX G2 and make sure it is connected to one device only.
- Open the activation tool listed in the guide, using Google Chrome on Android, Windows or macOS, or the Bluefy app on iPhone and iPad.
- Connect and enter the code, then start the flash. The process takes a few minutes: don't break the connection and stay close to the scooter.
- Set up your preferences from the panel: speed, riding modes, cruise control and the other advanced functions.
- Every time you switch on, enter your button combination within 30 seconds to activate the configuration.
What you can configure
- Top speed — across two selectable profiles, standard and advanced
- Minimum start-up speed — the point at which the motor kicks in
- Sport mode — optimised for performance
- Cruise control — holds your speed without keeping the throttle pressed
- Power/range balance
- Lights and signals — behaviour of the front and rear lights
- Panic button — instantly reduces speed
The code covers the other models too
The same Segway Ninebot code covers the whole range:
- MAX G2 and MAX G30
- F2 and F3 / F3 Pro
- G3 / G3D
- ZT3 series — here the firmware version matters: read the compatibility table before buying

Frequently asked questions
Does the code void the warranty?
Changing configuration settings with a digital code is not the same as replacing the firmware. We still recommend checking your retailer's warranty policy.
Can I go back to the original settings?
Yes, at any time, by entering the code again and selecting the restore option.
Does the code work on iPhone?
Yes, through the free Bluefy app. On Android, Windows and macOS you use Google Chrome.
How long does it take?
Around 5-10 minutes from receiving the code to activation on the scooter.
Can I use the code on more than one scooter?
No. Once it's written to the controller, the code stays tied to that scooter. Configuring another one requires a new code.
What if the code doesn't work on my scooter?
Digital codes are non-refundable once delivered: that's why we check compatibility before purchase, free of charge, via the app or by email. If you've already bought, technical support will stay with you until it's sorted.
Legal note
Advanced configuration of the Segway Ninebot MAX G2 is intended exclusively for use on private areas or otherwise outside public road traffic. In Italy and across the European Union, electric scooters used on public roads must comply with the 25 km/h limit. A scooter configured beyond that limit is not compliant for use on public roads, cycle lanes or pavements. The user is always responsible for complying with the regulations in force in their own country.
In short
The Segway Ninebot MAX G2 is among the most capable scooters out there, and it's a shame to leave it at 25 km/h when you're riding in private settings. The digital code is the simplest, reversible way to access its real performance, without touching the firmware.
