Opinions on used Segway Ninebot Max G30 LP in GTA
Hey guys,
I'm seeing a lot of "open box" or resellers for the G30LP in the GTA, Ontario, Canada for around $700-800 CAD (-300-400 from Costco prices) for a unit that's less than 1 month/100 km.
I'm wondering if these are just a bad idea to have given in Southern Ontario the cold weather, rain and humidity, given just how many are being sold used, or if these aren't the best units overall, or is there something else I'm missing (easy to steal?)
Does anyone see other experiences like this in other cities or have an opinion if it would be worth buying?

Do they come with a warranty?
Most are saying only 4 weeks warranty. One vendor was saying full year still, but I waiting to hear if that's with Ninebot, or a new limited warranty with the seller.
It’s pretty tough to beat Costco’s unlimited return policy so unless they offer you a very solid warranty I would pass.
I guess to flip it around - would you pay $750 for a G30LP, and then $350 for a Costco warranty on it?
Well, you are also comparing new to used and we don’t know how used it was and whether there might be anything wrong with it. So for me personally, yes I would pay the extra for the peace of mind. Last I checked the Canadian Costcos also sell the G30P model where the US Costcos only sell the G30LP. I bought two G30Ps from Best Buy but if US Costcos carried the G30P model I would have gladly bought them there even if they were more expensive. The return guarantee is extremely valuable for an item like a scooter, which has a lot of moving parts to it.
