DrG Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I went to 2 bike shops, but they didn't have anything that fit in the little window (under the LED ring) that gives you access to the inflation valve!Love the Ninebot One; wish it were easier to access the valve to pump up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Maybe try to look for a bike vent/valve extension, something like this:http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bicycle-Motorcycle-Car-90-Degree-Brass-Chrome-Copper-Metal-Air-Tire-Valve-Extension-Car-Truck-Wheel/2052658503.htmlOr maybe a straight-version, I'm not sure what kind of valve the Ninebot has.

Noam Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Love the Ninebot One; wish it were easier to access the valve to pump up I could not agree more.Bought mine yesterday, together with this airpump. The brass extender was part of the Ninebot and I found it in the box. It worked, however, I spend about 15 min. to inflate to 50 psi.After some research I found this video on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iEzsTdEWu4 . It is in German but pretty self explanatory. I have to look now if we do have those compressors at the local gas stations.Hope that helps a bit.

dpong Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I used a straight extender that came with my AirWheel X8 to pump up the NineBot One. [It looks just like the brass extender in Noam's picture above.] However, while I removed the LED ring, I found I was better off to use the extender not going through the little cut-out but rather right under the frame to the valve. Removing the LED ring, however, did allow me to sight the valve and use fingers to fit the extender on the valve. It is a pain. But that is how I did it. [Oh yeah, also used fingers to move the valve around a little. Don't overdo it, but you can gently direct it where you want it to go. Don't over stress it though I would say.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpong Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 This picture from mengke's website shows exactly how I managed it, except I took the LED ring off to manage the valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDL Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I just bought this yesterday and it works perfect:http://www.lezyne.com/product-hpumps-hp-pressdrive.php#.VavJBvmqqkoSmall, light and portable. Hidden inside is a flexible extender tube that fits perfectly. Pumping up my tire took less than a minute. It was more expensive than I wanted (45 CHF) but I can't fault it. As a bonus I found it at the bike shop down the road, so no need to wait for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengke Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 This picture from mengke's website shows exactly how I managed it, except I took the LED ring off to manage the valve. You do need to line up before screw it on. Instead of open the LED I just use a flat head screwdriver to adjust/press down the valve.Kind regards,Mengke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you find the right way to pump your tyre, you are on the right track. Next thing is to think how to customize Ninebot body... LOL...

Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDL Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 @Inmotion: Yes, I can pump without taking off the LED ring. The extender that comes with the pump works just like the metal extenders in the pictures above except it is flexible and you can thread it onto the tire nozzle with just your fingers. No tools other than the pump and my hands, no removing the LED ring. Couldn't be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inmotion Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 thank you so much EDL! I'm going to order oneI'm not improving on my trainning and I think is because of the low preassure of the wheel, I watched a video and it says ninebot one comes with 20 psi from factory and that's too low.The one you have it is the Pressure Drive Mini ABS?

mengke Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 You need a proper pressure to learn it properly. Too strong is good for longer range but bad for easy balance. So for starters, a intermediate pressure is preferred(45 psi):http://wheelyouride.webs.com/apps/webstore/products/category/1258674Regards,Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contentryder Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have the E+ and haven't used my extender yet. Was able to slip the air hose and adapter right under the rim cover at the gas station. Needed help from someone to press the air though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
