Siriussak Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 So I recently stumbled upon this from YouTube and did some research. I want to get the ninebot mini and found a eBay seller selling them for $649. However I also read you can't activate. Am I going to be forced to get the Segway for $999? Can I buy the ninebot mini and still be able to activate? I live in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundcrew Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 You can easily buy it from a seller on Aliexpress. I did it twice (live in Germany). Some of the sellers ship from the US. Dhould cost not more than 550$. And it should alrady be activated. Ask the seller before buying it about the activation. Or buy the mini pro for roundabout 850$. The activation process on the mini pro is much easier and no Chinese cellphone is necessary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyar Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I would avoid the international mini at all costs. Stick to buying the Segway minipro. It may cost more but you get full warranty and support in the US which you don't with the ninebot mini. Spend the extra money and protect your purchase.

From what I read, it's pretty much the same thing and as this is my first one...don't want to spend a ton of money especially if not sure if I will like it.

Well you need take precaution before : paypal (but dont paid your return product ship fee to china only in your own country), see with your bank garanty add with payment with credit card, see if the seller is serious, and if it's with aliexpress your have refund and return like paypal, please choice a seller who give a return coupon. look if this not a fake mini, compare with original specs sheet and pictures, take care on xiaomi mini customized into mini pro (steering bar and hubcaps but not the same battery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamG Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Amazon has the miniPro on sale for $699 today, so I got one for me (black) and one for the wife (white), so if anyone is on the fence, it's on sale just today in the USA. I'm excited to get them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
