IPS 121/350 question

[Kwing]

Hi all,

Anybody who owns an IPS can tell me where is the battery level display? It would be silly if you don't know how much  battery you have to travel.

Power button solid green = ~ 67-100% remaining, slow blink = ~ 33-67% remaining, and rapid blink = that you're in the lower 33% of remaining charge.  In my experience, the EU is very safe and dependable in those 2 upper level charge ranges. Just be more cautious if traveling in the lower 33% range.   It's still safe, however, getting too aggressive or fast in this range could give you the opportunity to experience a "close up" of your current riding surface. 

That same light will turn red when the charge is "dangerously " low.  If it gets in this range, definitely back off and proceed with more caution and it will likely revert back to the rapid green blinking.  If it happens to stay in that red, STOP and recharge.

Thanks sweet m...would you recommend ips? Trying to decide whether I should buy ninebot or ips 121. Ips won't have any warranty, ninebot has but it's twice the price here in Australia...

Let me know your thoughts

Here is most of the review I posted back on October 16th.  To this date it all still holds true.

I began on an Airwheel X8.  Experienced several cut outs with my own testing and, luckily, survived them all!  My biggest, most scary cut out was experienced with just about 1/3 mile remaining at the end of an 8 mile ride and backward I went.  Sent the X8 speeding forward about 50', down an embankment toward a creek. After getting off my rear and realizing I was still living, I crawled down a thorn infested bank to find my unit also still alive.  Anyway, through those experiences, I learned what was important to me during my rides and took those things into consideration when deciding which upgraded wheel to buy. 

Since receiving my IPS T350+ (aka IPS 121+), I've thoroughly tested many parameters like rapid start/stop (although I know this is dangerous), speeding up quickly as to simulate crossing a street, slowing down quickly to sim coming up to a street corner or encountering a pothole or something, hill climbing/descending acceleration/deceleration, steep hill climbing, max speeds, carving back and forth, etc.....

And to my, so far, extreme satisfaction everything has checked out great!  The IPS T350+ is not a bells and whistles EU as far as aesthetics, but I have added a few things to spruce it up a little.  It seems, according to my tests thus far, to be very smart and reliable, adjusting speed and warning feed backs according to current battery levels.  Typically get a slow green light warning beep at 22 kph, rapid green light warning beep at 24 kph, and a sustained green light warning beep with more noticeable tilt back (not aggressive though) at 27 kph.  These parameters lower slightly when the battery is at a low enough level to challenge remaining power.  Also, if battery is low enough, rather accelerating quickly or simply trying to climb a hill, the beeps almost get skipped all together and the unit goes directly to a sustained red light beep and tilt back to alert the need to slow the unit down due to a lack of power to perform the current task.

Anyway, needless to say, I'm a fan of the decision I made to purchase this particular IPS model (IPS 121+ aka the IPS T350+).  Keep in mind that the IPS 121/T350 is NOT the same as the IPS 121+.  The "plus" series has a more stable motor, accessibility to app functions, and an opportunity to upgrade the speed after riding 100 km.  Several new folks on here have purchased the "regular IPS 121 and were expecting the "plus" advantages.
