Just realized Vietnam has all the best Ninebot videos ever... yeah they are very slick marketing. the girl riding in the mall is perfect because besides eating, shopping is another feel good for them. if i can ride one, the girls i know would never aquiese to a two wheel 9bot.

Most of the time that luggage has wheels though. The thing I hear complaints about in my experience with girls lugging heavy things around is that they don't want to get callouses on their hands. I see they had the backpack thing at the end which is more believable (but pretty ugly - therefore maybe less believable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking, absolutely shocking, that you would prefer watching an attractive woman riding an EUC than me Kind of strange that she's riding in the mall at the beginning but then later she's carrying it around. Not very realistic, but certainly makes for a good commercial. I thought the best part was the last 30-seconds when she's leaving and zooms off into the distance. I wonder why the commercial is in English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you were riding there too I've ridden mine into a local mall but only through the door and to the store near the entrance. I'm tempted to ride further, but I think I'll only do that with my Mten3 since it appears so much smaller and is very maneuverable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can give some shoutouts to the "hoverboard" producers....they ruined that possibility even for low watthour EUC's. Because of the hoverboard reputation now ALL selfbalancing units and electric personal transporters are forbidden in general on passenger flight(90-95% of all airlines implemented that ban). No matter if checked in luggage or hand luggage :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter if checked in luggage or hand luggage :-( you might be right. i’m not flying commercial anytime soon so maybe somebody can test this with a 9bot. faa website: Size limits: Lithium metal (non-rechargeable) batteries are limited to 2 grams of lithium per battery. Lithium ion (rechargeable) batteries are limited to a rating of 100 watt hours (Wh) per battery. These limits allow for nearly all types of lithium batteries used by the average person in their electronic devices. With airline approval, passengers may also carry up to two spare larger lithium ion batteries (101-160 watt hours). This size covers the larger after-market extended-life laptop computer batteries and some larger batteries used in professional audio/visual equipment. Quantity limits: None for most batteries – but batteries must be for use by the passenger. Batteries carried for further sale or distribution (vendor samples, etc.) are prohibited. There is a limit of two spare batteries per person for the larger lithium ion batteries described above (101-160 watt hours per battery). looks like the 9bot was designed for air travel. removing the batteries looks easy and the batteries look like a laptop battery pack as opposed to shrink wrapped battery packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that most airlines implemented a "No SBU unit" on board...even if this unit with NO battery! Happened to myself when i wanted to bring a KS16 (empty! documented!) from BKK to Germany with emirates... No chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Eh, I ordered mine. 299 no apparent tax. It's a beautiful wheel that I'll kick around. That makes three 14 inchers, sheets, but to be fair I've given the V5 to the gf, the KS14c I've retired due to the weak axle, so there is some need for the S1.

da5id Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Also, for ~24 bucks you can extend the manufacturers warranty by 2 years. Not sure what they could do for you as I get the impression most of these are self service, but Squaretrade verified this morning they would "cover it"... Worst case it dies and I get a full refund from the extended warranty co. because they don't know how to fix things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duf Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 22 hours ago, da5id said: Assuming I am not yet ready to drop the cash for a Tesla or a KS16S is there a better starter wheel out there for $300? I generally prefer the deep end type of commitment but in this case I might end up with a smaller wheel first (upgrading can always include a hand-me-down of the starter to my wife/son) Seems like a no brainer deal to me.

Question (from complete ignorance): What injury are wrist guards for, and what's the alternative? If I may picture it: the wheel detaches, my feet trip on the road, my shoulders continue groundward at airspeed, I reach out reflexively, my wrist crumples to absorb the impact, and for the next six months the only online shopping I will do is by hollering, "Alexa, order me a dollhouse!" But if I wear wrist guards, won't I clobber either my knuckles or my elbows? Where does the stress go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I wear wrist guards, won't I clobber either my knuckles or my elbows? Where does the stress go? You will see that wrist guards have a slide plate in the palm area which helps to make your hands slide on the hard ground. This distributes some of the energy. The remaining energy is transferred up your arm which is stronger than your wrist. But there is a risk that a bone further up your arm can be injured (broken). That's why I have chosen to spend $$$ and wear Flexmeter wrist guards, which are supposed to reduce this injury. Search this forum and you can find much more discussion on them. Also, see The Riding Safety section of this forum http://forum.electricunicycle.org/forum/58-riding-safety-and-protective-gear/ And here's an overview of my safety gear, including the Flexmeter guards Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
