Hi everyone,

I’m using a Ninebot Max G30 scooter for half the year, but for the other half, our area is covered in ice and snow. This makes it really hard to ride because the paths are slippery and it’s impossible to navigate with the scooter’s small wheels.

I’m wondering if anyone here rides a scooter in similar icy and snowy conditions. If so, what model do you have? Ideally, I’m thinking about something with larger and wider wheels, and maybe a detachable battery so I don’t have to bring a wet and dirty scooter indoors.

I’m looking for advice based on real-life experiences if possible.

Thanks in advance!

    I agree re:ice. I honestly was more responding to the snow issue, since you can typically, you know, drive around ice if you can see it, and it’s typically not a feature of deep winters. In my experience, icy surfaces become an issue during transitional periods of weather, and I wouldn’t trust any means of transport to safely traverse them. Even then, as somebody who has fallen off of a monowheel on ice, I’d prefer the superior control over scooters, though not fatbikes.
