Ninebot ES2 Max Speed

[Ena]

Hello,

Because of the distance I travel is not so long, I use it in S (red) mode to get the best performance. But max speed is 19 km/h. Before the last firmware updates it was 24 km/h. Is ninebot limited top speed or is it just my scooter?

 

And do you guys have any idea of how to increase max speed? Any tools to do it?

You will need to do a full reset, 

press and hold the power button on the dashboard

connect the power cable to the controller ( you will have to have it taken apart to access this part)

hold button until it flashes a different pattern , normal pattern is just a blink a second  , you should see several rapid blinks

then disconnect the power

release the button from the dashboard

reconnect the power to the controller and then press the dashboard power on button 

all should be good at this point, if not go back and do it again.

your too slow or not hold button long enough to clear the memory preset, 

if you had a extended battery attach you should be getting 27kph, but that assumes you are driving on a flat surface, no incline

and you weight under 100kgs

Thank you very much for the answer! Very much appreciated! 

I am trying to do what you describe. When you say “connect the power cable to the controller” should I take apart controller from the scooter? Or is it the cable on the photo?

The Battery is directly connected to the controller all the time inside the TUBE

you must disconnect the battery from the Controller , they expected Tech to have the unit apart when doing this so it's a involved procedure

You have to twist the plastic cap thats inside the tube on both ends counter clockwise, its best to use a sturdy and medium long needle nose pliers

put the tip the plies tips into the small circular indents and twist counter clockwise until you see it aligns up with the slot guides in the tube and the circular cap will come out with to effort and you will have to do this on both sides

there is a great video of a chinese tearing a ninebot down

 

after that, you will be ready, this assumes that at this point you have the dashboard and the brake and throttle connected to the dashboard and still on the T-bar  

then disconnect and reconnect the battery to the controller with the controller already connected to the Dashboard

make sure to hold the power down for atleast 15 seconds, you will see a different light pattern at this time and you will know you did it right

then unplug the battery again and turn it back on and you should be able to the change in the dashboard

press for 2 seconds again with it on to see it make the S red if its white, Check the app to see if you have the speed set to minimum 

if this did not work the try the basic reset

Start at no battery connected to controller, use tape to make both the brake and the throttle set to max,

press the power button down and hold

connect the battery to the controller and wait for the same blinking light pattern again. 15 seconds

then stop pressing power, remove the tape , scooter should now show white, press power 2 seconds and it should change to red

otherwise check app again to see if speed throttle is on.. (

Hello again mate!

This weekend I tried to do everything you told me but ehm I couldn't do it. Each time light patterns were same and senqronized (bip bip bip...), doesn't matter how long I waited pushing down the dashboard button.

A video would help me a lot. Do you know if anyone recorded a video showing master reset? I tried to google it but couldn't find it out.

Well then I need to know about your ES, what model do you have ES1,2,3,4? x?

is it a hybrid model, a E2 with a E1 frame (a common bird configuration) (it has extended battery but no back suspension , this model is actually more durable then the actual ES2 that came out later and they added the suspension rear end only to have more failures)

what version is the ROM, when you connect via bluetooth, you are informed of this information. If the ESx is locked then you can't get it

when you took your dashboard unit out does the bluetooth section have NineBot etched on it and does it have a white dot or no dot or some other color. 

 

I've been repairing these units for over 2 years and they come in all kinds of hybrid versions.

I also experience a similar kind of problem. I have an ES2 (the model with rear suspension too) with no external battery, and it used to have a max speed around 25-26 km/h.

Now after 1.5 years and 1300+ km for most of the time the max speed is limited to 21-22, and it even refuses to spin the wheel faster than 22-23 when if I lift it up (I recall this was 27-28). Sometimes I can even feel that - although applying max throttle - it changes the max speed between 20-21-22. Other times it does speed up to ~24, but it does not seem to be related to any outside circumstances (wind, road surface, incline, battery charge, and headlight is always off).

Any idea what might cause this?

PS: I also suffer from the headlight on = going very slow (~13) problem, but since that started happening I've been using the scooter with headlight off always, so I'm not sure if the two issues are related.

My Es2 with the ekstra batteri hits 30kmh also got a 30max that manage the same speed but pulls slight better up hils it slows down less. 
 

Es2 now sold this week my discharged 10 percent in 14days i been keeping a eye on it during storrage n keept topping it up now n then to 50. So lill heads up storing the Es2/ES4 ... to low discharged they might not take any charge or turn on.
