Review on Electric scooter Ninebot Kickscooter ES2, up to 100 kg, dark gray by Micha Jelonek ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, good quality, not bad.

I will note separately: 1. The suspension rattles on bumps and bad asphalt, but this is a design feature, with such simplicity, any similar suspension will rattle. It is treated only by installing all sorts of plastic bushings. But I think this is not necessary, it rattles a little on bumps - and figs with it. 2. It might be worth making inflatable tires as an option if desired. Considering that inflatables have a chance of puncture, it is doubtful. But this would give a smooth ride on bad asphalt and people could choose an option for themselves. I seem to have a scooter version not younger than v1.3 (black), although I don’t know exactly how to distinguish the version, but the dates on the parts are 2022. Outcome: In general, I like the scooter, I took it because of its appearance, compactness, it is like a classic iPhone - nothing superfluous, everything in it is simple and quite reliable. To ride comfortably, regular lubrication of the rear suspension is required, preferably right after the store to start, because the Chinese save on everything. Everything is easy to disassemble, a special tool is required only if you remove the front fork. The rest is on hexagons and asterisks. If you have not very crooked hands, then it will not be difficult to follow this scooter yourself, there is a full disassembly cycle on YouTube. A little strained the jamb that surfaced after 20 km of run - about it below. After 20 km of run, the deck began to "crunch" in the back - apparently it was my jamb, but such problems were already visible from the comments. Nowhere did I find information on eliminating this jamb, but when parsing the rear part, it turned out that the “ear” rubs against another part of the suspension during its operation, which can be seen from the worn paint. He cured it like this: unscrewed the bolts securing the ears to the deck, one ear on the side where it was rubbing - moved forward as far as possible and wrapped the bolts, the second ear - moved back as far as possible and tightened the bolts (there was only 0.5-1mm of travel), but it helped - the whole structure slightly moved to the center and does not crunch yet.

Pros
  • 1. Appearance - feels like the best of all competitors - nothing more. 2. Conveniently and compactly folded and carried, easy to roll behind you when folded (it also feels like the most successful design). 3. A minimum of external bells and whistles, the wires do not stick out. 4. You can buy an additional battery and increase autonomy. 5. Excellent screen displaying speed and battery charge. 6. The presence of any suspension. 7. Tires do not puncture.
Cons
  • 1. Tires are hard, strong vibration is felt on bad asphalt, it is not very comfortable to drive on bad asphalt. 2. It is advisable to lubricate the suspension regularly.
