Ozpeter Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yesterday I did my longest no-hop-off ride at 10km, which over the ground concerned took 45 minutes. Some slopes but no real hills as such. At the end I'd more or less had enough, but the battery capacity readout said it was good enough for another 22km. In other words, for me, it's not the battery, it's me that needs recharging too often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezman Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Wow! That was excellent! For me it is so cold here that my range is badly reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have actually used up the whole charge quite a few times last year, Riding both EUCs and miniPro takes you a while to develop muscles enough to not getting tired too soon. You'll get there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should blink green at all times. Red blinking means that there is something wrong, - either totally depleted or faulty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to have a group ride I'm going need to buy more Mini's and loan em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn't think I'd ever have a MiniPro enthusiast to ride with because this is such a niche activity, but we met on the Ninebot app using the 'riders nearby' feature. It was really cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooEUC Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) 3 hours ago, smallexis said: yes it's right and nobody know why? Maybe because the GX12-4P is more protected from shorting out against metal objects nearby than the barrel connectors that are on most other chargers such as electric skateboards and laptops: But some devices use all 4 pins in the GX12-4P. I thought maybe the MiniPro did too but the charger appears to be a simple + - charger. Edited April 24, 2017 by RooMiniPro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
