Jonathan Lee Dunn Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So I've gone through 2 handles already just from letting other people try out my 9bot. Then while installing my new handle it cracked. So instead of buying another and having the same issue I decided to make a new handle myself. I used paracord from Home Depot and a piece from a door latch. Less that 10$ and an hour later I made it. Love it so far and I know this isn't breaking anytime soon that's for sure. Any other ideas post so we can all help out with common issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered a spare one based on all of stories about the handle being fragile. But I like the handle on the 9b1 a lot. And would miss it and try to either change to a new one (warranty claim) or fix the broken one by drilling&install a new, stronger "loop"-part...

steve454 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Yesterday as I was riding a long bike trail I thought what if I got a flat tire and it's 3 miles back to the car? I don't ride with the trolley handle attached but since I don't fall off lately maybe i will now. I realized that a piece of tree branch the right size to fit in the holder bracket would work to walk it back. My other idea was to hide the wheel off the trail, walk back to the car and drive back to pick up the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there is another option - grab the 9b1 under the pedal/plastic rim and carry it under your arm. Sure, not as comfortable as riding it, but better than hiding it...

SuperSport Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hey @Jonathan Lee Dunn, nice to see you here. I'm just going through my messages from the weekend. Do you have photos or a video of the handle? Would like to see how that works. You might have sent me something through YouTube too, I'll check that.

SuperSport Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'd consider him a semi stunt rider, so yeah, it's been through a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik's Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 No wonder the handle would pass out then. I feel that the handle could be repared/reinforced. Mine is still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Just about 1 year and 700 miles on mine and it's never broken. But wheel has NEVER tumbled. Maybe that's part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSport Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I rarely carry it for more than a few feet. I also have a trolley handle, and that's how I move it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using it every so often to carry the 9b1 in and out of house/car etc. Using the trolley bar for the most part when move it around but have been carrying it in the shops/stores a few times without any problem. Soft-touch and have a good grip. Weight of the 9b is another thing though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NB1 is hard to carry more than a few feet, but it's not the handles fault, the NB1 is just too heavy. The handle is not uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Otal Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 paracord very good idea, but also can be customized and more comfortable in this link and others, you can learn to do https://www.youtube.com/user/BoredParacord/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik's Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 @SuperSport, I was just about to say that too. The rider is a tough guy, I see that he is trained to fall properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ftm2000 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Has anyone came up with ideas for a trolley handle for the Ninebot One S1??? I tried to make my own with a selfie stick but it was pretty flimsy and did not work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
