MetricUSA Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 KS69, even our president FP on Segway, oh course he was too stupid to turn it on first...and there are plenty of videos of segway fps...redundant is not a fail-safe, just extra cost, you are paying for two...

jjjnate Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Aaron, great review. I have the Ninebot Mine (not pro) and love it. My problem is that one of the tires is now flat (slow leak) and after exhaustive search, can't find either the proper replacement inner tube (10inch 70/65-6.5 10/3.0-6.5) or how to change it. Do I have to completely take the unit apart to remove the tire? I removed the small center cap but not sure what type of screws were holding the larger white hub cap in place. Google search not showing any video posted or others running into this problem but I don't want to mess up my unit just trying to fix a flat. Any suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated.

Gimlet Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 If its a slow puncture the easy answer is to dose it with Slime puncture prevention/cure. Otherwise yes you do have to split the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjnate Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Gimlet, thanks. I'd never heard of that before. I'll try it and see if that does the trick. Thanks, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playdad Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Nice review! Can this thing handle speedbumbs? Yeah, those irritating sharp speed limiters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetricUSA Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 JJJNATE, what type of distance per change are you getting? And your body size? Small-large, I am of 75 kg... What has your seller told you about tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjnate Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 MetricUSA, I am about 88kg (which I know is over the recommended limit) but have not had any problems. I've had it since February and primarily use it for taking out the dog and riding around my apartment complex. I've charged it 3 times since I got it. The Slime actually worked after a 2nd attempt. The first attempt I don't think I used enough or spun the tire enough. It seems to be holding up now. I purchased through Gearbest and though they have great prices, the customer service appears to be only so/so. The limited warranty was for only 60 days. I was just concerned because I see so little information on changing out or replacing parts when we eventually run into problems down the line. Hopefully, the user base will grow and help resolve these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetricUSA Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 While we are talking mini here, I just received one yesterday, and enough good riding in, one potentially bad thing I found... If you have one foot on mini and you accidentally brush against control arm, you can really do some damage to leg, because your foot 'locked in' and no where to go and the mini will turn rather quickly, and twist your leg/foot, if you don't jump back quick enough! I suggest never stand with one foot on mini! And this thing needs a brake, so not to roll away when not on it...? Oh since mini does not have extension arm, and you don't pay $88 arm above, you can use a strap to pull it along while off, or shorten strap and control it while standing next to it...

MetricUSA Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Today's trip traveled to and back from work. Going to work is all uphill going 6 km and climbed 150 m with four plateaus, used up 80% of battery. Recovered 9% just sitting for 3.5 hours, so starting for home at 29% and ended at 19% on same track, downhill. Problem with mini is in the twenty percent, it won't go over 14 km/h, kept vibrating my phone...and I don't think the claimed 14 is actually 14 km/h...much slower... Upwdate: Then again a fully charged mini, beat my q3, home in record time, last night.... I wish I had the pro to now, compair to the mini...

Just looking at the narrow foot rest area clamped between high walls make me feel unsafe as it is difficult to escape in an accident. The new Airwheel S8 is using bigger wheels which will have the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the big announcement we been waiting for???? Serial numbers would definitely be helpful. I'm having trouble connecting to mine and am not sure if the manufacture date is the source of my frustration. It is obvious that the one that I had received from geekbuying.com has been used already (in fact, it's missing the charger and other parts) and already has a 6-digit bluetooth password set. I'm striking out trying to figure out how to reset this, finding only some reference to flipping it upside down and powering it on, but having no luck getting past the bluetooth password step in the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode 12 miles in one stretch one day this week and I could have kept going with no problem, I've ridden that distance in one stretch many times on my NBO and while it's not unbearable my feet are definitely sore and my leg muscles fatigued at the end. I think the easy ride is due to the fact that you don't have to balance it side to side and because there is thick cushioning foam on the foot rests. That's interesting and looks like a real advantage. I have a hard time to believe though that sore feet are a consequence of the need to balance side to side, but can't figure a better explanation as well. Apart from wheel diameter, to me a remaining disadvantage of the NBM seems width. I find myself quite regularly in a situation where the 46cm width on my EUC is somewhat limiting my maneuverability. With the NBM it is apparently 55cm, not a big but I guess notable difference. BTW, sorry if I missed it, but what is the weight of the NBM?

MetricUSA Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yes you are right about the width, it feels limiting, wider staonce would had been nice, but to keep the wheel base within shoulder width, sacrifices are made... What is the dimensions of the Segway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarz21 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 In an attempt to somehow reset my NBM, I removed the battery pack. The unfortunate thing is that the bluetooth password still has not been reset. The upside is that the scooter appears to have been manufactured in 2015 (possibly March based on the castings in the magnesium). So, if I can reset the bluetooth password, I should be able to connect my Galaxy S5 to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a narrow bumpy path I would imagine that the width and double-track design makes it considerably harder to remain control over the device.

Actually he backed up to allow a dog walker to get past and one wheel slipped over the edge, followed by him. From what I read it seems he was a really nice bloke, very altruistic. He had been a coal miner when the government forced a lot of mines to close. He used his redundancy money to set up the manufacture of a rapid deployment flood defence device, basically collapsible steel cages that could be filled with earth, sand, whatever as a barrier against a rising river. Thing is they stop bullets even better than water, and he made millions selling them to the military. The USA were apparently a big customer. He never forgot his roots and did lots to help his local community badly damaged by the loss of its industry. Somehow, I think we might have got well past the legal crap in the UK with self balancing devices if he still owned the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
