RockyTop Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I remember the pain. It just kinda went away after I learned to ride properly. Some newbies use shin guards turned inward. Many other pads are available. Honestly, I would just tape a sponge to the side of my wheel until I got better at riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) If you intend to use it for a long time you could get the official ones (about 50$) Very comfy, can be found here and there just search) Else just tape a bunch of soft stuff to the housing it will do the trick.

null Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Yes its really too bad Ninebot seem to be leaving EUCs, they have by far the most slick / professional design.. just 35$ here, not as many shops having them anymore. Some IRL photos here. Edited November 23, 2020 by null 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsnapper Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) with the s1/s2 is the problem contact point is the center of the convex shell (convex looks slick but is very bad design for riding). so these pads are cool but imo don't really deal with the problem. Just for kicks I hopped on my s1 to make a grocery run (opened to 30kph via 9tools) - beyond 24kph thing is always on the edge ( beeping like crazy, you know yu have very little headroom for overlean,etc., no night light, very bad range - operating range for the dual bat version is only about 12km). z10 is such a beast - really a drag 9bot has decided to focus on scooters and other PEVs. All the other 9bot models are relegated to being learner/transition wheels to something with more power and better range. Even the IMv8 is a far more versatile. Apologies @Rake - guess I have trashed your current wheel :-( If you are like me, S2 will be great until you outgrow & replace it then it will spend alot of time sitting idle... If you wanted to make some decent pads for S2 I think would have to be something wedge like with the thin edge starting at the center of the shell and getting wider towards the top so when you apply pressure near the bottom (to jump a curb or what not) it is distributed evenly. not ez to make such a thing again owing to the convex shape... Now for my skills of an artist: if you do not know TROGDOR - see: Edited November 23, 2020 by amelanso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
