The Segway Ninebot F40 and Ninebot MAX are both very similar models but there are a few differences that could make you prefer one over the other.

The similarities continue with their ability to handle a max slope of 20%, the use of 10-inch pneumatic tires, no suspension, thumb throttle type, an IPX5 water resistance rating, and the recommended age of use being 14+ years. Additionally, both models come equipped with a Bluetooth app for various tech features, and both are foldable, making them convenient for transportation and storage.

However, there are several key differences that set these two models apart. The Segway Ninebot F40 weighs less at 34.8 lbs compared to the Segway Ninebot MAX which weighs 42.1 lbs. The F40 also has a smaller battery capacity of 367 Wh compared to the MAX’s larger capacity of 551 Wh. This leads to a shorter range for the F40 (24.9 miles) compared to the MAX (40.4 miles). Lastly, their charging times and brake systems differ, with the F40 taking 6.5 hours to charge and featuring E-ABS Electronic Brake and Disc Brake, while the MAX charges slightly quicker in 6 hours and uses a Mechanical front drum brake and a regenerative electric back brake.
