adonis Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hello all So I bought last week the Xiaomi Ninebot here: http://www.mi.com/scooter/ and it was received today by my Chinese friend who will ship this to me. I now realized that there are some issues with the app activation if done outside china. Can you please tell me if this will work in my country straight forward? Or what steps should I do to make this thing drive? (firmware downgrade, proxy activation, or even activating it now in china before it ships). I will strongly appreciate your valuable help!

ATH Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just ask your friend to activate it in China. It only takes a minute. (I activated mine in China in May with my European mobile number.) Make sure he writes down/shares the security code he enters at time of activation. I would also ask him to test drive it indoors to make sure the Ninebot is working properly before he ships it. Just out of curiosity, how will he ship it to you? (Service provider and cost?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adonis Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 And should I also tell my chinese guy to do the firmware upgrade for me or I can do this myself once it is activated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudust Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 It's better to buy it from the EU dealers. I don't know where you live in the Europe. If you are in France, you are in luck. Boulanger FR is selling miniPro 320 at EUR799 including VAT and you can activate it normally. Why go through all the international shipping and activation trouble? From what I heard, Carrefour FR might take it in the range soon... finger crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el31415 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) 1999 yuan very tempting. What about the Lithium battery shipping ? Also amazon France has the pro for 799 euro. with 2 years warranty. Edited August 7, 2016 by el31415 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
