Recommended Posts

This is it folks, the last chance here in the San Francisco Bay Area to ride and test the Ninebot Z10 so graciously provided by @Jason McNeil and eWheels to tour the USA. 

Demo the Ninebot Z10 on a distance ride from SFO to Redwood City and back. We'll take time to charge in Redwood City at the halfway point of this 30+ mile round trip. Smaller batteries, feel free to join part of the way and return to the origin before your battery expires. Full ride is suitable for 1000wh+ wheels or smaller with a fast charger.

Sunday, Aug. 19, 9:30 a.m.
Starbucks (1800 Old Bayshore Hwy, Burlingame, CA)

Park for free on streets west of Old Bayshore Highway. Parking in the Marriott lot is limited and not free.

Have you seen the posts about the Z10 not allowing charging to start unless the batteries are under a certain temperature?  Probably not an issue in an airconditioned environment.  But the Ninebot can do 30 miles on a charge anyway I think.

I've stayed at that Marriott several times and walked that trail along the bay, it's beautiful. This picture of the Benihana there doesn't look like it could possibly be a mile from an airport.

Never had any problems charging the Ninebot in its stay with us, including 3 days in Vegas where outside temps were around 110° F. Should be in the mid-80's Sunday.

30 is about right in my experience, but the last 5 miles are so are severely slowed down and largely unfun.

That's good, maybe it's only the production models that have that safeguard.  The two riders reporting it just got their Z10's recently.
