Review on Electric scooter Ninebot KickScooter F40A, up to 120 kg, dark gray by Wiktor Gajewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

I have been a user of this scooter for almost a month and I want to share my impressions. Mileage is currently 100 km. Overall, I'm happy with the scooter. There are some nuances. More about them below. Before that, I used rental cars. After rolling it is much softer due to pneumatic wheels. But it is also easier, which affects the dynamics not always in a positive direction. I'll tell you right away about the need to monitor tire pressure. I bought an electric pump xiaomi - I advise. Be sure to swing under your weight. My weight is 95 kg (I pump at 3 atm) and at the start the scooter is sluggish. I read that this is related to the firmware. Before this, there were firmware versions where it was faster from the start, but then it was sluggish and the power reserve decreased. This is according to the reviews on the forum. There is the latest firmware v5.8.9 at the moment. When braking, there is a slight jerk at the beginning and at the end of braking. Even if you press very gently. The brakes were adjusted immediately. At the end of braking, the regenerative brake is not released at a complete stop and a jerk occurs due to this. I also adjusted the position of the steering wheel from the box - it was crooked. Solved with a hexagon in a couple of minutes. You should not be afraid of this - the problem is typical. Of course, I would like to receive a product ready for the trip from the box, but alas, you always have to adjust something yourself. If there are no problems with the hands, then it’s more like a buzz. Then there were squeaks of plastic on the deck. Ride smoothly without jumping. There is also a backlash in the steering wheel - this issue has not yet been resolved. It looks like it is in the folding mount itself. Tightened well, but the problem did not go away. The screeching brakes still haven't gone away. Something like that. But you should not be afraid of all this. According to reviews of other brands of scooters - this is the highest quality. Personally, there was nothing to compare with. Take who needs a reliable and simple scooter. Well, if the steering wheel is crooked, then either yourself or to the nearest bike service. All good.

Pros
  • Lightweight, high quality
Cons
  • Weak battery, jerky
