Ninebot Kickscooter ES1

Advantages: Comfortable, stable, fast, powerful. At home, the unit is stored folded in an upright position - it does not take up much space. It can be carried either by the steering rack or by rolling like a cart. It is brought into working condition in two movements - pressed the rear fender and threw the steering wheel up - that's it, you can go! To turn on the engine, a minimum impulse is enough, after which you can control the speed with a very responsive gas key - stability is maintained both at high speeds and at pedestrian speeds of 3-5 km / h. You can safely ride next to a leisurely person walking without fear of losing your balance. At the same time, walks with bicycles are absolutely comfortable - the scooter holds 10-20 km / h without problems. As for the terrain and the range: there are, in fact, two modes - cruising and sport. On the first, he goes about 16-18 km / h, creeps slowly on small slopes, he will not move from a place on them, but he will pass the declared 23-25 ​​kilometers; but in sport mode on normal slopes, it does not even reduce the speed, it can get under way, travels up to 22 km / h, in general it is very pleased with the dynamics. But the mileage drops sharply - to ~ 16 km. Especially if you try to enter rather steep climbs - yes, he can, but it will consume a lot of energy! The figures here are approximate, since I tried to actively use recuperation - the mode is good, but I can't describe its benefits in numbers, but you can probably win a kilometer. There are only three modes of energy return with an inverse relationship between speed and efficiency - either you slowly go down the hill (3-4 km / h), but accumulate a charge as quickly as possible, or you ride for your pleasure, but the recharging will be insignificant. This is also true for the "analog" mode of movement, pushing off with the foot. By the way, although the display on the steering wheel is useful, you must remember that the last division of the charge level "burns out" faster than the previous ones - so do not count on the last 50% of the battery to travel as much as on the first 50!

Disadvantages: No flaws! If you are an adult, tall man of normal build, then there will be no problems with operation. But for the short and frail (women / old people / children), the scooter is too big and heavy.

Comment: Objectively, the only difference from the EC2 is a slightly faster conquest of the slides. But they still need to be found. The rear shock absorber is useful only on very uneven paving stones - I also met it only on Poklonka in Moscow. Given the huge difference in reliability, it makes no sense to buy an older and more expensive model! At all! The only thing I thought about was buying an extra battery. But there is still no special need for it - I have not come up with such a long route so as not to get tired myself. Still, standing for a couple of hours in one position on a scooter is not at all the same time sitting on a bicycle. Conclusion: if you want an electric scooter to spend money once and then just rejoice and ride without problems with mounts, rattles, wheel changes and other worries - buy an ec1!

Advantages: Stylish, organic design, ergonomics, non-inflatable wheels (although due to rigidity this is a small minus, but absolutely not soaring), moderately light (it is easy and convenient to carry through underground passages), easily fits into the trunk of a car (2114), easily folds and unfolds, the absence of any stupid illumination. Small standard headlight, normal in quality of glow.

Disadvantages: A metal rumble when passing obstacles, the need to put on curbs, on which, for example, on mono-wheels they fly without problems, a slight displacement of the steering wheel relative to the wheel axis, although on the profile forum they say that the Chinese brothers made it specifically to prevent node breakage. The need for daily viewing of the weather to prepare waterproof clothing (plastic raincoat) for driving in the rain. Sometimes in the rain you have to stay late at work so as not to get wet.

Comment: This is a normal scooter without any frills, but stylish and cool, with excellent design and ergonomics, allowing you to intuitively select the required movement parameters, to accurately dose the effort of the wheel motor in each case. Rides me to and from work. This is an indescribable feeling of flight, when you move along the sidewalks, through parks and squares, watch the singing birds in the trees and squirrels jumping in the trees with their fluffy tails, the whole world greets you, the Universe and the stars accompany you during your flight on the Nineboat, in In general, the delight from the trip on this miracle of Kitayprom has not yet passed in 3 months :))) The daily mileage is about 13 km. The charge is enough for this run for itself, even a little more than half of the battery remains. The fact that there is no rear shock absorber is even good, because if there is nothing to break, then there is nothing to fix. Everything is easy to clean, there are no breakdowns (ugh 3 times) for more than 400 kilometers, the tread has worn out quite a bit, the factory mustache on the tires still sticks out on the sides, so far I am completely positive about this technique. Unlike in previous years, I come to work almost half an hour earlier, not sweaty, in a good mood and cheerful mood, my working capacity has improved significantly, I do not worry about minibuses, trolley buses and trams that do not come on time. I can safely take it with me to shops, pharmacies and other public places, there are no problems with admission. I recommend it to everyone for purchase, this is the transport of the future, I am seriously considering the option of buying an electric car in the near future. All the best !!!

Advantages: - Laconic design without unnecessary external details - Dynamics, speed, ride comfort - Cruise control - One button and a simple but informative display - On-board computer with statistics and settings available in the phone via Bluetooth

Disadvantages: - Removable grips on the steering wheel, which, if not fly out, then always stick out ugly on the sides - Loud squeaker, which emits signals for all possible reasons. The signal is especially annoying when the cruise control is turned on (and when driving on city sidewalks it is 1-2 times a minute, passers-by turn around). - Reliability and durability in doubt

Comment: The new scooter is locked at a maximum speed of 5 km / h, to unlock you need to install and register in the Segway app, view the safety instructions, then you can go to the scooter settings via Bluetooth and unlock. But there are nuances - the application is in English, and the Segway servers are blocked in the Russian Federation with the light hand of Roskomnadzor, so I also had to install a VPN. But you only have to tinker once. At first, the scooter was very pleased, almost everything in it is perfect.Comfortable ride, dynamics, quiet engine, batteries were enough for 25 km with a rider weighing 50 kg. But now 2 months have passed and 300 km of run: - First, 2 rubber bands under the bottom, installed in the place where the scooter was folded, fell off. They are not fixed there at all when folded, so they fall out easily. Their purpose is completely unclear, it seems that there is nothing critical, I inserted it back, but next time they may get lost at the ends. - The front wheel began to look slightly away from the zero position of the steering rack. That is, to drive straight, the steering wheel must be kept slightly turned. - At high speeds in the drive wheel, some extraneous rustling sounds of unknown origin (mechanic or electrician) are heard. Nothing knocks, does not rattle, does not interfere with driving, except, in fact, this noise. - Sometimes batteries with less than 50% remainder were not enough to drive 6 km from work to home. Although the first half of the charge (from 100 to 50%) is enough for 12 km round trip. In general, all the flaws that have appeared are not critical, but seriously spoil the impression, especially the crooked and rustling wheel. Take it to the service at least :) But do we have Ninebot warranty services in Russia?

Advantages: The versatility of the device at the highest level

Disadvantages: No downsides

Comment: We ride with the whole family !! Lightweight, easy to operate and unpretentious in maintenance !! No electronics in the deck, this is a huge plus for wet weather! The road every day to the fitness club is just a fairy tale! I have enough speed, I even set a limit for the child through the application! Very flexible in terms of settings for any user! The range allows you to easily move your carcass within the area. I'm thinking about buying extra. The battery to expand its capabilities in terms of pokatushek, it really involved GY :)) The appearance compared to other devices is very verified and concise, absolutely nothing superfluous! The price-quality ratio justifies itself by all 200%. In general, I strongly advise everyone who is thinking about buying this scooter!

Comment: norms apparatus. without regret and admiration, taking into account not "weak" price and "average" power reserve.
