Kael Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 That prototype in the video has the new pedal design doesn't it? I wonder why the supposed release version will only be using the standard Ninebot pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see. The pics are interesting. What looks like a decent seal system between the case and the cover, proper brass tapped inserts for the screws instead of just tapping into crappy plastic, a second seal around the board compartment, cellular stiffening of the case moulding ... looks really nicely made. Cant see how they are going to deal with cooling of the MOSFETS though and getting at the tyre valve looks like it might be a pain in the butt. Got to say it looks huge against the girl in the last photo but as she is asian she might just be tiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mezzanine Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I doubt if anyone has a test as useful as Marty's hill-of-doom that he's shown in reviews of his wheels. That hill seems to reliably cause wheels to exceed their thermal threshold and therefore provides a good measuring stick. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Griffith park. Of course we can also go to Griffith Park, but I would strongly suggest this other mountain range too. Steeper and longer hills, rough terrain, smooth terrain, highly technical switchbacks, etc. 15 to 20 miles worth.

Got anywhere with some decent mud? California is a bit dry, so that’s one aspect you might miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lots of mud right now (raining this weekend - my world is upside down ). I've ridden a few times on muddy trails and now avoid it - challenging but not a lot of fun.

Yeah, it can be a right pain, but unless we’re at the height of summer in the UK, the ground is usually somewhere between “a bit damp” and “a bloody quagmire”, so I have been wondering how a 4” wide tyre might cope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 2 hours ago, Jason McNeil said: with the completely flat topography that’s why florida is the perfect market for wheels. think “the villages” del webb sun city center. these communities have been using electric transportation before u were born. called golf carts. special rules and laws for these. maybe even miami has these communities. with all the “ahem” seasoned humans on this forum, might be a big market for these and get some kind of laws that allow these. beazer homes which is uk based has been talking to me about a 4 story 55+ condo project but they are bottom feeders. they have a product in orlando, lake nona called the gatherings. i figure if i can learn to ride them without a scratch, 55 year old babies can.

Interesting that Ninebot team mentions this same street in their developer diary while testing their new Ninebot One and Ninebot Mini: Quote What is the concept of 20 degree slope? Let's come to science: The steepest road in the world Baldwin Street is a street in New Zealand's southern city of Dunedin and is known as the steepest street in the world. North East Valley）。 Located 3.5 kilometers northeast of the city center, it belongs to the North East Valley in Dunedin. Baldwin Street is a short, straight street about 350 meters long. It starts from the valley of Lindsey Creek and heads east along Signal Hill. The lower section of the surface is bituminous and has an average slope. However, the cul-de-sac higher section is much steeper, and the surface is concrete. There are two reasons to cover it with concrete: one is for ease of maintenance (in this slope warmer Asphalt will flow off the slope during the day. The second is the safety during winter frosts. The slope at the steepest point of Baldwin Street is about 1:2.86 (19° or 35%), ie, every 2.86 metres, the height rises by 1 meter. 137253360646613099.jpg (252.12 KB, 下载次数: 39) 137253360646613099.jpg (252.12 KB, Downloads: 39) 下载附件 保存到相册 Download attachments saved to album 2016-3-10 15:42 上传 2016-3-10 15:42 Upload 329540720821994071.jpg (206.62 KB, 下载次数: 40) 329540720821994071.jpg (206.62 KB, Download number: 40) 下载附件 保存到相册 Download attachments saved to album 2016-3-10 15:42 上传 2016-3-10 15:42 Upload 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it isn't that easy to pop down and try it out. At some stage though I am sure there will be a road trip to the South Island (via ferry), which means wheels will be along for the ride. And then it is just a matter of having a crack (on video, of course). I don't hold out much hope though - particularly if it is after a Fat Unicyclist lunch, there might be a bit much weight on board to make it to the top. And actually, I would be worried if it did, because coming back down would be probably the scariest thing to do on an EUC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to test out the new wheels come to the old Dana auto proving grounds. I will even plant a couple of palm trees to make everyone feel at home. http://www.mitrp.com/vehicle-testing-courses.php Edited March 11, 2018 by Rehab1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mrd777 Posted March 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2018 The one thing that I can’t help feeling skeptical about the One Z Series by Segway are their stated specs . When you look at all their products on the website from the Professional SE -3 Patroller used by police (top speed 15mph, 24km/h) to the Segway i2SE (top speed 12.5 mph, 20 km/h) to the Mini Pro and all their professional, public safety and consumer vehicles, all of them are at least half the speed of the One Z10 ( 27.96 mph, 45 km/h) . The gap in speed between them just seems to big. It’s hard to believe they haven’t come out with a fast Segway (at least for security and police) that is close to the specs of our anticipated One Z10.? I really hope I’m wrong, as I would love this wheel, but something seems strange. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) i think it is a legal issue thing. the one z will be marketed as off road. i started working at a golf course 50 plus years ago. there was one golf cart, pargo brand, it was numbered180, and it would do about 25 mph, nobody knew why. most of the carts went about 12 mph. u wouldn’t want golf carts doing 25mph. we never rented it, just kept it around for ranger type purposes. i was just at the outlet mall and some woman security guard was on some sort of three wheeled segway thing. in that environment with pedestrians, u don’t want speed. if that security guard runs into somebody, simon will get sued. i just think segway has more skin in the game. u plug in ur king song or gotway and it burns ur house down and somebody dies or seriously injured. r u gonna sue kingsong ot gotway?
