playdad Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I've seen it on the Chinese site and I can read Chinese. Basically it copies the look of the ZERO (which I own) but it seems like they're trying to appeal to a wider market this time with one product. The basic model has one battery pack and of course the price is lower. With the Advanced upgrade, users can easily install an additional battery pack and it is supposed to be used in tandem, increasing available power and a little extra mileage and top speed. I think it's a great idea really. A reduced product range would allow Ninebot to focus better on a few. Might even consider getting myself one if someone else in the family wants to take my ZERO. (no one else can ride it yet lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik's Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 @playdad I don't agree that 9b1 copying the look of zero though. Ninebot found the look and they continue to use it on new model as well. And, doubling the milage is not just a "little extra"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again this A1 looks a little more like a ZERO than a NB1 too. Anyway, that's not important, they all look great. I don't have brand specific loyalty. I buy whatever delivers more for the money. As for the mileage, you are correct. It's more than "a little". However, given how the user is likely to use more power being more aggressive etc and pushing it harder (at least I would not dare to push it on a 155wh battery), it probably will go far less than double. Still it's probably more than a little since even with the Advanced model, they seem to be limiting the top speed to 20km/h. I have no idea why... 20km/h is nice but being able to hit at least 25km/h would be far better. I guess one could still accelerate much harder on it.

SuperSport Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Not positive it will work, but it's what it is advertised to do. http://www.harborfreight.com/1-4-quarter-lb-blue-polish-compound-96776.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if they even repair these in the US yet. Seems like only one place in the states sells the A1 right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Who sells them in the US? I didn't know anybody did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from Creative Riders Ive actually gotten my xiaomi mini from them as well a while back. I had seen them advertised on their website to order, so i had called them to verify that they were really in stock and i was told yes so i placed an order and sure enough i did receive it shortly after. I ordered mine with the optional 2nd battery and rapid charger as well. -Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseofjob Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 @OVERBOOSTN did you have any issues with activation via the app? (as original speculation was that the A1 was only for the Chinese market, as opposed to the S2). Also, what exactly defines the rapid charger? My S2 came with a 63V 2.5A charger, is your's higher than 2.5A? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Zero issues as far as activation with the app, it worked the same as it did for me with my Xiaomi Mini took a a few minutes and it was ready to go. As far as the charger I don't believe it its actually a rapid charger, I just checked the specs of the charger and its the same as your's 63v 2.5A. Maybe the sales person meant it was higher capacity charger to support the 2nd battery and charge the unit quicker. -Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The stock NineBot One E+ charger is only 1.9A, so maybe 2.5A is considered Rapid. What did you pay for your A1 with extra battery? I've placed a request for a quote, but haven't heard back yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseofjob Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Sounds like sales marketing tactics then, the standard charge for A1/S2 is 2.5A, not that significantly faster to be considered "rapid" than the old E+ at 1.9A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yeah, I don't know that they market it that way. Just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure it's def a different and much larger charger than what comes with the A1 in the box. -Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
