I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

In general, the unit in its class is awesome.
It should be understood that this is not a hoverboard, as many call it, but a mini-segway. And the difference is big.
On firmware 1.1.7, it is optimally obedient and fast. The Internet describes ways to roll back to this firmware. But with 1.3.1 the rollback was blocked, very sad. Perhaps in the future the problem will be solved.

Pros

Large wheels, clearance - thanks to which you can ride off-road and bumps, powerful silent motors allow you to climb hills without any problems, stable, there is a mobile application that shows the mileage, current speed, and allows you to configure the Segway. Comfortable steering wheel. Bright LED headlights are indispensable in the dark. They turn on themselves when it is dark and the brightness is automatically adjusted depending on the lighting around.

Cons

Terrible loud squeak on business and idle (treated by physically disconnecting the tweeter from the board). The maximum speed is 18 km / h, I would like much more (for example, there are unicycles that reach up to 45 km / h), the bending of the platform when the speed is exceeded causes inconvenience, it cannot be turned off. The battery limit is 18-20 km on a single charge with a rider weighing about 80 kg. Fragility of some details. Many cases have been described when some parts of the steering wheel broke, and replacement is not a cheap pleasure.
