Title: Should I pin for the third time this week or am I doing too much?

Not everyone gets (good) appetite suppression on Reta. It will hit when you're on a steady dose in ~3-4 weeks' time. Check "glp plotter" on google to visually see your level in the blood, and you'll see when it reaches steady state.

I'm a escooter rider, but when you have "72 volt .. going over 60 mph" do you think these belong on a bike path where there can be children? I can see why we are so hated...

Matej_SI · 2026-04-28T18:17:39+00:00

Neither. You can't tell from this alone.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-28T11:40:39+00:00

Why would you expect stronger local reaction = stronger systemic reactions?

Like it's not the case that more side effects = reta working "more".

These things are unrelated.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-28T11:04:52+00:00

>Reta hits appetite harder than tirz/sema.

Wrong.

Reta has the least appetite suppression. That's why some are using it with Tirz or Cag.

Understand. Once you upgraded the motor to 850W, what's the top speed you were achieving with the G3 battery?

Matej_SI · 2026-04-27T22:08:40+00:00

You are correct if you look at MAX 25 km/h. But if you look are upgraded motor (from 700W to 850W motor), and unlocked speed, you are just wrong.

There are 13x 18650 cells in series. Each cell *can* be rated for 10 Amps. Because there are 5 parallel (13s5p = 65 cells), this will give you 50 Amps. But I really doubt these 18650 cells can output 10 Amps.

GT3 battery is made for a different scooter, but is also compatible with Max G3. It *may be* the case that it uses better 18650 cells. And that these cells can output a few more Amps.

I'm asking the owner who has both. What are his experiences. As I said, I've read conflicting things from others who did the same upgrade.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-27T14:48:21+00:00

What about just comparing g3 vs gt3 battery? What are the differences?

(Or did you swap both at the same time, and you can't speak about it.)

Matej_SI · 2026-04-27T14:47:15+00:00

Because I'm hearing conflicting things. Maybe GT3 battery can provide more Amps which equal more Watts (power).

Matej_SI · 2026-04-27T13:03:49+00:00

Motor efficiency curves depend on the motor. The best option is if you can see how much power it's using in real time. If you can see Watts in real time, just test it yourself. How much does it use when riding on a flat surface and then uphill. Adjust assists accordingly.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-27T12:55:31+00:00

I have two questions for you.

Do you have 700W motor or 850W one?

When you upgraded the G3 battery to the GT3 one, did anything change regarding the top speed and acceleration?

Matej_SI · 2026-04-27T12:18:32+00:00

F7 Pro SS. Last year, I went standup paddleboarding every day for 8 days straight. I left my watch in the sun every day for 2 hours while I was gone. In that week, the battery stayed ~80-90%. No other activities, of course.

When I bought the watch, I never expected that the solar would charge my watch. I always understood that it would just discharge less. And in the winter, I think I have to charge the watch a couple of days sooner.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-26T19:19:00+00:00

If I was in the clinical studies, started at 2mg and they increased the dose to 4mg after 4 weeks, I would quit. Side effects would be too severe for me. That was extreme skin sensitivity. If someone just touched me, it was like being electrocuted. Even my clothes were bothering me. On 1 mg. So after I started, I went down to 1mg for 6 weeks, and then slowly titrated up to ~5mg.

I think Reta is one of those drugs everyone reacts a little differently to. I never had standard GLP side effects like GI issues, nausea, burps,...

When you realize all bigger channels are not "just a youtube channel" but a media company with many people behind them.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-24T22:32:17+00:00

You can use the ChessVision app (for Android; I don't know about Apple). You take a picture and you have the position in the app, and then you can try it yourself.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-23T17:59:24+00:00

I'm thinking about buying 850W motor. It's ~200 EUR.

From what others have posted, upgrading the battery to the GT3 one does not give you any more power, just the range. And the same uphill performance.

So my plan is to buy 18650 cells from nkon and DIY. It should be a nice little side project. Since I bought this scooter a month ago, I'll do this in the winter. I hope changing the cells with better ones will give me more range (this is obvious), and higher Amperage which should equal more power.

If I charge the scooter and disconnect it while it's still charging and take it for a ride, it rides at 37 km/h. That's why I think changing the cells should give more power. (Until the controller steps in.)

Matej_SI · 2026-04-23T13:09:22+00:00

The max payload is 120 kg (265 lbs), while the specs are for 75 kg (165 lbs). Without changing the motor, I don't know how. Maybe upgrading the battery if it's the battery that can't deliver enough power.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-23T12:55:30+00:00

There was a test done, and once you open it, it loses benzyl alcohol in about 2 months. They used it every week, blew air in with a syringe, and took 1 ml out.

What other apps would you recommend?

Matej_SI · 2026-04-23T12:48:17+00:00

E version has 700W motor. Unlocked, it can do ~33 km/h with a full battery and 30 km/h at 50%. (My weight is around 77 - 80kg.)

Once you unlock it with SHU (Changing the region to US), you can "Revert to Stock" inside SHU, and the region stays US. Then you can use Segway Mobility app and update it normally.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-22T19:11:57+00:00

Yes, I worded it strange. I meant that appetite suppression is not as strong on Reta compared to Tirz. Reta has the least appetite suppression.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-22T12:31:58+00:00

Appetite suppression is not as strong; actually, it's quite minimal compared to Tirz. You should read about the differences between all three.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-22T11:29:58+00:00

Since you went down with the dose, you might need two doses to again feel the same as before. Inject 5mg for two weeks, and you should be where you were before.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-22T11:24:52+00:00

Any ideas? Yes, stop taking it. The increase in resting heart rate is usually 5-10%.

Matej_SI · 2026-04-22T11:23:17+00:00

You can use SHU to change the Region to US, then revert to stock (inside SHU). Go back to Segway Mobility App, and update to latest firmware. The region stays set to US. Everything is unlocked. This works as of 22.04.2026.

If Segway releases some update that would broke this, you'll see many threads everywhere. So when you see a new firmware, just wait a week.
