SlowMo Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm glad to tell everyone that my beloved Ninebot is alive again. The mainboard came with firmware version 1.3.4 and I have to do the upgrade to version 1.3.5. Everything went well once the unlock code has been placed and nothing burned this time. I will try to keep track of it's performance and see if it will last. So here goes.. Day 1: With full armor and helmet I ventured out in the night for an hour always on alert for anything that might happen. Happy to report that everything went well. However I noticed that the pedals tilt slightly forward when making sudden turns and I'm not used to that. Motor temp stayed cool with a max of 43 deg. at running speeds of 8 to 18 km/h. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far so good. Do a manual calibration just to be sure. There's a video in another post. If pedal behavior feels strange, there's a good chance your roll angle is off. It can only be fixed a manual calibration, not the calibration done on the phone. I'd get a link but I'm on my phone. Look for the "is this normal for 1.3.5" thread here and scroll to the bottom. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowMo Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 So my Ninebot reached 33.5km today and I am happy to report that it worked as it should without any glitch. I tested it at a newly developed park in the morning and did further rides with the family in the afternoon. Here's a video clip of my morning test ride at the park.

I have negative comment on forum on my page way i use full armor ?? im waithing for them to fall end se the result. Riding these things without protective gear puts many people at risk of having serious injuries. Better to be safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is someone on each of the attractions. There's even a guy spinning his head around in amazement at 0:46. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowMo Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I copied the idea of @Norway Nr 1 and placed some chrome sidings on my Ninebot. The results are not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowMo Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Nice, what I don't like about plasti-dip is it easilly gets scratched and the paint peels off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Inspired by @Jug's modifications, I also bought a Meilan X6 Rear Light. The light emits a beautiful glow that can be easilly visible even on broad daylight. http://www.amazon.com/Meilan-Rechargeable-Patented-Automatic-System--Hands/dp/B013HZKE78/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1459423958&sr=8-1&keywords=meilan+x6 Here's a video of the Meilan X6 Rear Bicycle Light attached to my Ninebot One: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
