DIY custom ambient lights for Segway MAX G3 - step-by-step tutorial

Segway MAX G3 is without a doubt an eye-catching scooter, but it lacks truly powerful ambient lighting. In this video tutorial, we’ll show you how to easily upgrade the scooter’s lighting system with an additional 300 ultra-bright COB LEDs, making your MAX G3 perfectly visible at night. --- CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - List of components 01:22 - Preparing LED strips 05:21 - Preparing connectors 06:31 - Scooter disassembly 08:13 - Connecting new LEDs 12:04 - Scooter assembly 13:12 - Attaching new LEDs 14:19 - Upgrade results --- This lighting upgrade for the MAX G3 isn’t complicated at all, but it does require basic soldering skills. If you have them, we’ll guide you step by step through the entire process—there’s virtually no chance you won’t succeed. In short, we used two 5V COB LED strips (45 cm long, 5 mm wide, around 300 ultra-bright LEDs in total, delivering slightly over 500 lumens). These were connected to 30 cm two-wire cables and waterproofed using transparent heat-shrink tubing. We then added HY2.0 3-pin connectors—common and easy to find on any marketplace—and connected our custom setup directly to the Segway MAX G3’s ambient lighting system, which also uses HY2.0 connectors. This way, the new lights are powered and controlled by the scooter itself. The final step was attaching the LED strips to the sides of the scooter’s deck using strong double-sided adhesive tape. That’s it. You’re more than welcome to recreate this project yourself, but be sure to watch the video first. There are a few tricky moments—especially with the connectors—and it’s much better to learn about them in advance than through trial and error. Additionally, you’ll need a heat gun, a hot glue gun, and a wire stripper for this project.
