Autotransfer.jetzt Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi my dear Ninebot fans. What do you think -- how many Ninebot users are there currently out there worldwide and how fast is the Ninebot community growing? Also, I guess the largest Ninebot population lives in China followed by the US followed by whom, us Germans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdestef Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hard to say. I've been Ninebotting around downtown Boston for about the last 2 months (I have two units - for those wondering about my other thread where I talk about my ninebot being gone for repairs) and I have yet to see virtually a single other EUC user. Ninebot or otherwise. If the community is growing, it certainly isn't in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpong Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I don't think that the US is the second market for EUCs anyway. France beats US in EUCs or SBUs or whatever you want to call them. Asia even with China excluded I think are ahead of both the US and Europe. Still my comments are generically about EUCs. Ninebots specifically, I don't know but to look at the App and see who is ranking. China is over-represented and Europe, but the US not so much. I think the US is behind on catching on to this phenomena. I have seen exactly one EUC on the streets where I live/work, other than mine of course.

SirGeraint Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I saw one on the local news because the guy sent them a video of him mowing his lawn with one of those old-style, mechanical push lawn mowers (that don't use gas). So he was really being green with mowing his yard. So, I know there's one. It was an Airwheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieV Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Besides @dmethvin, I have seen two other riders in the wild here in the Washington, DC area. One was riding a Ninebot and the other an Airwheel twin wheel like a Q3 or Q5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Here are a few maps:https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=z90XysMelFuQ.klpE5LwWEBXUhttps://www.urban360.com/About a month ago I saw a guy riding a TG T3, we stopped and "talked" for a short while but he was hearing impaired so we typed messages to each other.Last week I saw a guy riding a Boosted Board who lives about half a mile from me, looked like fun but I'd take an EUC any day.

Jag_Rip Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yes the Ninebot App (Ninedroid) has a ranking list. It lists several thousand riders (shown are only the top100) you can have a look here, if you dont have the app and registered to your bot:http://app.ninebot.cn/weixin/index.php/Home/Index/rank#ninebot-one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citi Wheel Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hi my dear Ninebot fans. What do you think -- how many Ninebot users are there currently out there worldwide and how fast is the Ninebot community growing? Also, I guess the largest Ninebot population lives in China followed by the US followed by whom, us Germans? The android ninebot app has been download 5000 times, so if you assume equal number of android and ios users I would say at least 10000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotator Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The android ninebot app has been download 5000 times, so if you assume equal number of android and ios users I would say at least 10000. ...but this app is not only for the ninebot one model, it is for the two wheels model as well.

Citi Wheel Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 ...but this app is not only for the ninebot one model, it is for the two wheels model as well.Yeah that's true. Im figuring the NB1 is more popular than their other models, plus I'm sure there on people that get the nb1 and don't download the app. All just a guestimate though.

(I'm not sure about on the Apple side.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citi Wheel Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 and you can get the app directly from Ninebot without getting it from the Google Play Store. (I'm not sure about on the Apple side.)Yeah good point. All other things being equal you can use the number of reported downloads to gage relatively how popular ninebots/euc are becoming. If by next year the number of downloads is 25k, they've around 5 times more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'd expect the numbers to go up considerably once the legislation catches up with the EUCs and people become more aware of them. Of course they'll probably never be as popular as "safer" and easier (in terms of learning curve) forms of transportation, but I'd expect them to become quite more common in the coming years (except where they're outright banned ). Were the legislative status to be more clear here (it has been said that they should become legal around the change of year, but of course that isn't 100% sure), and the riding season longer (unless you like riding in really cold weather and possibly at least partially frozen roads, it's probably something like middle of April to end of September/early October here), I'd probably set up a shop, but that would have to have more services (repair, customization, training) than just selling the wheels themselves, as I probably never could compete in price against foreign web-stores.

noisycarlos Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I think they're getting more popular.Here in Hollywood I probably see at least one or two hoverboards every day. And maybe one euc every week or two, always Airwheels for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hoverboard??? The Lexus hoverboard which levitates by supraconductivity ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasferm.be Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Maybe ask someone with a brand new 9b1 what his world rank is? Few months ago i was 1750 on my first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
