Having said that, I have already seen a post on the Ninebot Owners Facebook page, where one owner claims to have seen No improvement at all and after only 3 days on standby he had still lost 5% charge!

Maybe the change is that it still loses a lot of power, but it now stops draining the battery below a certain level. That would still suck. With alll my other wheels, I can leave them turned off for a couple of months and when I turn them on, they have the full charge. I really don't know what Ninebot was thinking when they designed their power system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good that they are still improving the Z10. I updated my Z as well about a week ago and wanted to test the BMS's firmware effectiveness. My test was not valid due to the atmospheric conditions and abandonment. My Z had a full charge before I tossed into my truck last week. I was hoping to go riding. Unfortunately It sat there in cold weather (my bad) until today. When I went to check on the voltage at lunch time it wouldn't turn on. I brought indoors and after 15 minutes of warming up it came back to life. There was only 50% charge remaining. The cold definitely played a roll in the cell's rapid diminished voltage. Hopefully Marty's test is administered with greater oversight. Edited March 5, 2019 by Rehab1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be the first (or fifth) time when a firmware update secretly handicaps the wheel to a duller performance, slower top speed, or even bricks the device. At least any NineBot MiniPro, Airwheel A3 and various KingSong wheel users have learned this the hard way... 6 hours ago, Marty Backe said: I updated mine a couple of days ago.

Steef Klonoa Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hey guys, I have a small cut on my Z10 tire thats kind of deep. Not something thats leaking right now, but I'm wondering if there is any kind of waterproof adhesive that would be good to put in the cut to prevent it from growing as the tire wears out? Anyone have a good idea on this? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superglue is the best fix ... just make sure you deflate the tyre first so that the cut is closed as the glue sets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Superglue fixed a leaking cut from a piece of glass in my wheel, where Slime failed.

mrelwood Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 ”Z10 on a hill” made me think either of another funny slow-speed downhill crash, or perhaps @Marty Backe had found a technique to finally make the Z10 work on a downhill... Didn’t expect at all what I saw! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow is all I have to say. I immediately connected to the wheel and I didn't have to create an account or give my social security number. It knew everything about the Z10 and was super easy to configure. This is a security risk... CHANGE THAT BT PASSCODE NOW!!!! You could be riding along and someone shuts off your wheel and you go flying!!!! BTW I want to register on the forum... But this is critical if you don't want to go flying off the wheel. Maybe its been covered elsewhere... I just wanted to make it clear that when its easy for you, its easy for everyone else too.

For EUCs, your warning is overblown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, can't happen. But if someone's worried about it then they can add passwords. I don't want to be bothered by passwords every time I get on my wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you set a new limit and quit this, the app reduces to the new limit already and slowly km/h per km/h. So there's no risk at all. BTW: I've a password and a bluetooth pin, but that works automatically in the app from MY cellphone. So there's nothing extra to do for me and I'm safe, because nobody else can connect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it yourself. Of course. Now try when you're even moving 2-mph. Nothing happens. Our wheels might have done stupid things in 2012, but the EUC manufactures have learned a lot over the years and you can not do anything that will cause harm while the wheel is in motion. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
