Segway is recalling approximately 220,000 scooters in the U.S. due to a safety hazard posed by a faulty folding mechanism in their Ninebot Max G30P and Max G30LP models. This defect can cause the handlebars to collapse unexpectedly, leading to serious injuries, with 68 such failures reported and 20 resulting injuries. Consumers are advised to stop using the scooters and to request a free maintenance kit to inspect and adjust the locking mechanism. The recalled scooters were sold from January 2020 to February 2025 at major retailers and online platforms.
According to a notice published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the folding mechanism in Segway's Ninebot Max G30P and Max G30LP KickScooters can fail during use.
Segway has received 68 reports of folding mechanism failures with 20 injuries that include abrasions, bruises, lacerations and broken bones.
Consumers in possession of these now-recalled scooters are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Segway to request a free maintenance kit.
Over time, depending on riding conditions, the folding mechanism may require periodic checks and tightening.
