vespaman Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hi Guys, My (electric) car is having some TLC by BMW, so I figure I should start up my old wheel again. I purchased the E+ when it first came out, I think, in 2015, and haven't used it the last couple of years. Every now and then I have charged it up, so battery has never been fully discharged. The tire seems to be leaking some, since it was quite soft. But i figured i should ask, if it is likely that the battery needs to be replaced regardless? I have never had a cut off, even during over leaning (maybe because of temps here in Sweden are generally not too high), so it used to be good, at least.. I have a very old FW - will the app work with it still? And is the app now named segway ninebot? When I purchased mine, Segway (I believe was a diffent company). My mobile phone is of course changed, so i need to download some app, if not for anything else, so get battery information. Sorry for all the questions, hope some 'old timer' out there knows how E+ ages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespaman Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 I actually got the new app to work with it, looks completely different than the old one, but at least it gave me battery at 80%. I'll charge it up to 100 and give it a go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Yes, things have changed a bit. We also have a few other cool apps. DarknessBot for iPhones and EUC world for Android. When you charge it up pay close attention to the final percentage. If you don’t make it to 100% take note and be careful. You might not have the power (amperage) you need. Welcome back!! ......... and ... on a side note you might want to take a little time to see the new wheels available. They have come a long way. Some wheels can go 100 miles and reach speeds of 50mph. .... and suspension!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still using my 5+ year-old battery and find it to be as reliable as my other four E+ batteries in rotation. Also, finding an original Ninebot 320wh battery is very dificult nowadays (I bought all of them lol). Be wary of the Ninebot P 340wh batteries - I purchased two of them new from Speedyfeety.co.uk two years ago, and have had recurring cut-outs on both.
