It's a 6 month old infraction and I still haven't had a court date set. Probably 3 more months till I can get in front of a judge and argue that a sidewalk is not a "highway" by the legal definition of highway in British Columbia. Oh man that's awful! You've got me a bit freaked out to ride now as I go on sidewalks, pathways and roads all the time. I reviewed the laws here, and although electric unicycles aren't specifically mentiond they do show Segways, electric scooters, etc so I could be in trouble if a cop feels an urge to lay down the law. I usually don't go that fast, and I'm very cautious around other people. I didn't think the fines were that large in Canada. And a court date? Geez, nothing like tying up the already burdened legal system with really serious crimes like riding an EUC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'm going to confuse things some more. This morning I have been out on two 11 mile rides, here are my findings. I weighed myself at the start (with all my clothing, kit and spare battery) I weighed in at 15.5 stone (217 pounds) The first test, Ninebot one E+, but ridden with the smaller battery from my C+ 220WH (I figured if I started with the smaller battery then I could always get home on the larger battery). I was very impressed with the smaller 220WH battery, It got me 10.8 miles (17.3km) before dropping to 19% and restricted speed. I had an average speed of 8.9MPH (14.3KM/PH) I was taking it steady, also when I got to the hills I slowed right down. The ride back was on the E+ (again) with the original E+ battery, (320WH) I was slightly faster at 9.5 MPH (15.2 KM/PH) - It lasted 11miles (17.7km) So there we have it, the E+ can go an extra half a KM than the C+. If I was deciding which to buy, (price dependent) I'd go for the C+ Video of todays ride....https://www.relive.cc/view/600308593 Some images to go with the test. Start mileage on the unit. Mileage at the end of first ride. Battery strength at the end of first ride. Mileage at the end of 2nd ride Battery strength at the end of 2nd ride Route map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 One thing that needs to be considered as mentioned before is the elevations. I have a ride that I do that is about 11 miles total, 5.5 miles each way. I climb 1076 ft in that ride with MANY up and downs along the way but steadily climbing. By the time I hit the end, I have around 40% battery left. This would lead you to believe I may not make it back, but because it's mostly down hill going back, I get back to the start with around 25%+ battery left; only 15% or less used. It's a favorite ride of mine because I know I'll never have to push the wheel back to the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natethegreat Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 its amazing with 55 psi it full control like a different machine than 40 psi. the ninebot can work with a load up to 390 lb without fail but any thing above 300 is taking a risk keep that in mind. stay safe ride smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On several occasions I've given my wife piggyback rides. Together we total 240lbs or about 110kg. The whole time I was thinking "my poor Ninebot". Interesting to know it carried you so far with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB01 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 That's funny I was just thinking that it was strange that no one picked up on my question and then I found my own thread browsing for information about S2. Might be something with my inbox because I didn't receive any notifications. Anyway, thanks everyone for your feedback it's much appreciated So not I'm actually more interested in S2 since I can get this from UK now (was on it's way when I posted the question). While I'm on the subject... have anyone seen any good reviews of the S2 or a comparison between E+ and S2? From what I can tell it's a bit faster and a bit more powerful but I'm slightly afraid of running into similar problems as the P+ had due to bad design not coping with the extra power? For me I see this as a very good alternative to an electric bicycle especially since they are really expensive and where I live I expect it to be stolen as soon as I leave it more then 10 minutes unguarded (yeah, I know... it's sad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
