Marty Backe Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I wouldn't worry. If there's a sustainable market (I think there is) then the worst case scenario will be that these companies start paying royalties and our costs may go up a little. There's enough people who want these that they won't disappear. And in the absolute worst case, we all have to ride Solowheels :-( But as a hedge, better stock up now ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojo33A Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 6 minutes ago, Greg Spalding said: it's amazing just awesome very appreciative for its inclusion here Greg i have a question about american trade rules by exemple in this case: Ninebot pass FCC regulation tests and get autorization for the 3 different devices of Mini (N3M240 is the xiaomi mini for chinese market, N3M260 and N3M320 is the mini pro) but the device N3M240 is not sell in America but many amrican people import him and Ninebot US don't want sell spare parts or give after sale service to these owners Is it normal? When Ninebot have autorisation for the xiaomi device but no sell it, if an american get one by web and import, why he didn't could buy spare parts?

Greg Spalding Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 i wish i could explain any of that The things that go on in this country aren't mystery to most of us who live here Considering our current election cycle and the two buffoons running for president anything is possible I'm sorry that I have no better explanation but I hope that somebody else will read this and give us their opinion by the way THIS one...... which one of the above is it that you mentioned it doesn't say here https://www.amazon.com/Segway-miniPRO-Balancing-Personal-Transporter/dp/B01AVMBDJ8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverH Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The main Segway patent is valid up to 2018 or 2019. That's the time when the real Business goes up. That's Segways answer to Solowheels/ Inventist patent stuff against ninebot with the One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
