LEO_LEO Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi, I bought a 9bot 1+, I think it works well, but I noticed something that I guess depends on the fact that it is new, gives off a bad smell, like burnt plastic, I think it is just my paranoia, but I wondered if it happened to someone else? (no paranoia but the strange smell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no paranoia but the strange smell) Burnt plastic smell sounds bad... Is it a strong smell? Or is it more of a "new car smell" like some people refer to it? Just to be on the safe side - try to open the battery cover and check the battery and cables to see if there are any damage on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO_LEO Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 thanks @Vik's , I am no a new car expert, but I do not think that, were it not that I imagine to have a bit of paranoia that confuses me, it seems more an electrical smell, I'll try to disassemble the battery compartment so cut to the chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm pretty sensitive to smells, and other than a very slight new tire smell there wasn't anything smelly that I noticed when I opened up my Ninebot One E+ or after riding it.

steve454 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Probably the tire, all three of my wheels had that smell, takes weeks to go away. For some reason Chinese rubber has a strong smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible to wash most of it away and for the rest it's recommended to leave the tyres / wheel at well ventilated space to get rid of the rest of odour. Some people are even using a few teabags placed on or around the wheel to "fight" the smell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting, good to know it's not the rubber itself and that you can wash it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpong Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I agree that it is normal. Will go away before too long. A new bike smells the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO_LEO Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 hi, to be sure, in the weekend I disassembled to check that the contacts were well connected. ...All right, it's probably the sum of the tire smell and my paranoia of novice, ...and now in fact now the smell is disappearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good! Enjoy your new ride! Seems like the battery got some transparent shrink tubing (as opposed to earlier opaque blue versions). But not too surprising as your ninebot is "steaming hot" right from the factory - produced in August 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Spalding Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'm glad that you found out nothing bad was going on and that somehow you will be able to become more familiar with what Was going on inside your wheel There is great benefit in that, as well Many miles of safe travels to you and I hope that you will share with us many stories and pictures and videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually 30 cells and they are assembled like this: One layer with 16 cells ad the other with 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
