Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Here's an older news story, but it gives a pretty good summary of how things came to be with Ninebot and E-scooters. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-12-05/almost-every-electric-scooter-comes-from-this-chinese-company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this concept is behind the rumors that ninebot doesn't appear to be interested in making more ECUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 The mass market is where the money is. It would be interesting to compare global monthly sales of EUCs to escooters.

Yes it appears that rental scooters are everywhere and that EUC's and OneWheel's aren't expanding in popularity as I'd certainly hope. Also a new kind of rental scooter is starting to proliferate - a faster, seated model from an outfit called, "Wheels." The electric bikes from Jump are all over the place too. Really hope Kingsong/Gotway/InMotion continue to innovate and produce despite the apparent high demand for kick scooters, seated scooters and e-bikes. The only new EUC's I'm aware of are the KS16X and the Gotway Nikola... (Hey I'd settle for a firmware update to the V10F...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZMutant Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This is what it looks like on the ground on the "mean streets" of Los Angeles... My V10F is a beacon of headlight amongst the masses.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
