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 wouldn’t recommend a scooter for winter commuting especially under icy conditions. It’s probably not what you wanted to hear, but a bike you can fit studded tires on would be the way to go. Alternately, walk and use crampons if it’s really icy.
