A valuable purchase, some advantages!

The scooter was purchased in February with the intention of using it as a vehicle on the primary home-work-home route throughout the season, with occasional rides for the wife in the parks. I add to the review from April 25, 2018: The distance is currently greater than 120 kilometres. The scooter is in perfect working order. Despite the fact that I haven't changed any of the rear bushings, it rides on decent road totally silently. I gave the Xiaomi Mija and this model some thought when making my purchase. both models were turned, looked at, and rolled. But ultimately, I chose NineBot ES2. Whatever one may say, while wheels with inflatable chambers provide a smoother ride on uneven pavement or tiles, the chance of a puncture when driving around the city is great. This risk is increased even further by the fact that on Xiaomi they will definitely become worn out sooner or later, necessitating the replacement of the camera. The skull does not hurt when discussing tubeless tires. I got the impression that this scooter is smaller than the Mija, accelerates a little faster when the power is at its highest level, and folds up much more quickly. His only concern is a slight play in the rear wheel's attachment to the axle, but there have been no issues with it thus far. The fact that you can purchase an additional battery and raise the scooter's top speed to 30 km/h and its range to almost 40 km (depending to your passport) makes me very happy. It is easy to locate batteries for free sale. An intriguing element is the LED illumination of the scooter deck's bottom, which offers a variety of color overflow and wink possibilities. Although I'm unsure if I'll utilize it, etc). The rear position lights start flashing quickly while braking, and it is possible to turn them on through the application without turning on the headlight. The front headlight shines fairly brightly, more than adequate for the city. For storing the scooter, there includes a retractable, folding footboard. While I generally like the scooter and am happy with it, it consistently pays for itself.

Pros

appearance, lack of wires on the front facade, compactness, price-to-quality ratio, display on the steering wheel, tubeless wheels, option to buy and install an additional battery, presence of a headlight and side lights, capability to brake using the rear wing, fairly respectable engine power for this price, acceleration on the native battery up to 27 km/h, cruise control, three engine power modes (economical, rational, sporty), rear and front disc brakes, and rear and front airbags Scooter can be folded in one move thanks to a very practical and straightforward mechanism. IP 54 protection against water and dust intrusion, native battery, and relatively light weight. I'm adding to the review from October 09: We've now traveled nearly 1000 km of the season's entire distance, including 700 km following a thorough inspection of the scooter. Everything about the electronics worked without a hitch. Thanks to the craftsmen, the machinery runs quietly and flawlessly. Almost seldom utilized as a brake is the rear wing. After organizing the scooter, I oiled the suspension's moving parts with silicone and lithol grease a few times as a preventative measure. Although the tread on the front wheel is somewhat worn, it is not dangerous. This is the most effective little electric scooter, in my opinion. With a little bit of effort, you can turn it into a terrific workhorse for walking and going to and from work.

Cons

Again, tubeless wheels, but at speeds over 15 km/h on unfavorable asphalt with protruding pebbles, the deck and footboard, on which the scooter is positioned, start to vibrate. It is therefore best to not accelerate rapidly. In these circumstances, I was unable to hear the rear wheel's vibrations. On the brand-new asphalt, everything is great; there are no noises, and it travels completely silently. The scooter's deck has a light gray, grungy finish, but it can be thoroughly cleaned if necessary. Front shock absorber is rather stiff, and the back wheel has minimal flexibility. When dust is wiped off the plastic glass screen that covers the steering wheel, scratches from the dust develop. The rear shock absorber assembly needs to be lubricated on a regular basis; else, squeaks would unavoidably develop with time. For the second time, I'm adding to the review from June 8, 2018: After 300 kilometers, the rear shock absorber began to crack, a rattling sound could be heard, and the rear wheel on the hub became very evident. When grease from a spray can was applied to the damper, the squeak was eliminated. However, I had to give the scooter to artisans to replace the bushing on the back wheel. In any case, organize and tighten the scooter simultaneously. A duralumin bushing was added after the rear wheel bearing was changed. A silent block was inserted on the rear shock absorber, the front shock absorber was upgraded, all wires were placed in protective sheaths, and the scooter was sealed all around after a thorough disassembly of the mechanical portion. After all the changes, the scooter started acting like a brand-new one! drives on any surface without making any noise at all! I hope this holds true always! I leave without exulting). Unfortunately, you can't avoid improving the scooter over time, but the outcome is worthwhile—I truly like the scooter!
