Ninebot S Self Balancing Hover Board Review

[@cliffwoods6209]

I have one of these. I weigh 260 lbs and have had no trouble at all. Top speed is the same but my range is about 3 miles shorter. I love this ride.

[@whooptydoo6256]

Thanks for that . I've been looking for a weight limit and couldn't find anything. I weigh like 230 . So yeah. Mine will be here in 4 days. Can't wait.

I’ve had the Segway S plus for a year and a half now , and what I can tell is after having it for that long u don’t even need to think, it almost feels like mind control when using it.

[@crackerjack6543]

Hiya Jacob, just wondering, does your s-plus make noises when you stand on it? My son has bought himself one and it makes an "oink oink" noose as soon as he steps on it and it's really annoying?!

[@jacobB1290H]

crackerjack6543 yes, I believe that is the stock sound. But there is an option in settings to change the sound to something more modern sounding.

[@crackerjack6543]

@@jacobB1290H thanks for the reply

[@ARLGD]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Segway S Plus! It's great to hear that you have had such a positive and intuitive experience with it. If you're looking for a powerful backup power solution for your outdoor adventures, I recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. With its massive capacity, waterproof design, and fast recharging capabilities, it's a reliable companion for camping and ensuring uninterrupted family time. Happy camping!

[@cbbee1041]

I'd rather go for a Jog lol..

[@andyhaber89]

I remember trying one of the very first segways when they came out, very fun to ride. This looks more reliable and much safer than those "hoverboards".

[@tristanwegner]

This Ninebot is actually made by a Chinese company that bought Segway.

[@Hunterholley1]

This is what I need to get for Christmas

[@themystx2]

I'm an electric unicycle guy and got one of these so my son can ride with me on bike paths. Nice!

This was a fun one to make! Let me know if you have further questions. 🛹 Ninebot S by Segway: amzn.to/2Hn1KQI (affiliate)

[@kyriakosliotas9272]

I bought a xiaomi ninebot mini (its very much the same model, introduced in china late 2015) exactly 3 years ago from China for 473 euro. Nowdays there is an official reseller for ninebot and xiaomi here and ninebot S costs 399.I have used it to commute on bike paths and after 3000km is still great .Only battery has deteriorated to about 60-65% from original travel distance range. As i am looking for a replacement battery i find it is difficult to find an original one and the price is high.I have also changed tyres one time. I live in Greece by the way.Nice review, man. Greetings

[@nocilantro_gack]

Im getting mine tomorrow..I cant wait... Thank you for the information... I'll be using mine to walk my very active dog...

[@Guest-wb8gx]

i would not reccomend doing that around your dog because my dog attacked my segway and scratched it all around and now its ruined. Also, dont let segways take away your exercise time. You should get exercise from walking your dog

I have a Hoverboard but it is an impossible object. To move, use the pressure of your feet on the platforms. I would like to be sure that the Segway uses internal gyros. Can you confirm that it is the slight inclination of the body that drives it? Not the pressure of the feet. Thank you!

I do. An adjustable one is available for it.

[@jimmyispromo]

You need to raise the arm in the middle. It's down at your shin. It needs to be at your knee

[@TechWithBrett]

This latest model doesn't have the ability to extend the knee bar. I did find out you can get an attachment and add one that does if you need that. 😉

[@ryantoper79]

That is my one issue with this board. I definitely would like the bar up a little higher but you definitely get used to it fairly quickly.

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

I would get the extension. Custom fit enhances the experience.

What an awesome location

[@clementogwuche2889]

This is cool....I need one

[@TheLillianYoung]

I'm a little bummed that the handle digs into my legs and hurts. I'll need to wear my knee pads or buy something additional to cushion it.

[@LeanneJenZiegler]

Ask Segway to develop a Segway that only requires cellphone command to travel forward backward and turn, while a person is riding. This will help if a person has difficulty with physical foot/ankle alternations.

[@shirohige8633]

Maybe it could be a setting but a model release with it is a little overkill

[@More4MotionUSA]

You can upgrade speed by installing swallowbot firmware

[@puffeiffer]

So this model would now be considered Pro. Correct? Because I’ve noticed that presently in 2023 there are two versions. I mean, based on the weight limit of 220, this is not likely to be the mini-lite.

[@alicat7090]

its on sale for $699 right now on amazon!

[@nonimportantacc1495]

Hi Can i use this inside the mall?

[@williamlockwood9241]

I am a Solowheel user and think this is quite cool. Can you get off this device and walk away and have it follow you? The remote control looks like it requires attention to use. I am a parade performer and would like to use it in my parade juggling act. (I also ride the pedal unicycle,)

[@TechWithBrett]

You need to carry it with you. No follow mode available and it might be too difficult with the app.

[@aaronpriestley1500]

did the segway punch that hole in your wall?

[@mikesmultimedia]

Im sure you got this question plenty of times regarding the Bluetooth pairing PIN number. Fresh out of the box. 2. Put it together 3. I believe I used the App at some point, and had to watch about five learning videos which the app forces you to do on the ninebot s-plus. Things like step on, turn 360 degress left, the right, roll forward, etc. The app comminicated with the s-plus the entir time. Meaning a connection (via Bluetooth) must have been made to follow my progress, right? Then, i used it at work. Crusing around, getting throttled back and beeps since I was in learning mode. Which was fast enough. Later on, after work, i start up the app (which i didnt use at all the entire time at work) and it tells me ive unlocked the s-plus and able to select speed mode. At some point, the app asked to pair with the device, and so I goto my android phones Bluetooth icon, search for, find the s-plus, and click it as a found Bluetooth device. The pairing attempt this time asked for a pin. It suggested 0000 or 1234 (four digits, not six im seeing here in your video). The four digit attemps both did not pair successfully. I then searched for help online, finding the six digit pin suggestions of six 0's (000000) that did not work. Can I still use the s-plus without the app Yes. Just like I did at work (with most likely the speed limits resulting in the beeping and throttling behavior. So, that brings us back to where I am. 1. Not able to successfully pair because of failed attemps due to bad PIN number (i assume) because the pairing sequence stops or fails each time (using the phones Bluetooth pairing process. Which means, I cant successfully use the app at the same time I have the unit on. I did try to record my trip (which it followed my trip) and when I stopped at my destination (Front door of the gym) the recording said it doesn't log trips less than or only 200 meters). So, the app is monitoring maybe externally my movements using gps info only, and perhaps, not from the device wheel turning information, suggesting Im still not communicating with the S-plus because I really didnt pair the device successfully. So the app us merely using gps info from my phone only, and not internal sensors from the s-plus. I'll keep trying to actually pair the s-plus using both phone Bluetooth icon, and, which I think is still the issue, having the s-plus pair with the app as well. Seeming, their are two forms of pairing. 1. Pairing with the phone, or pairing with the phone AND app. Perhaps, all pairing needs to be done through the app, and not outside the app, using the phones Bluetooth device found process? Hope this long trouble shoot explanation, leeds to somebody's aha moment to breakthrough to a solution. Thanks.
