1、 [Preface]:
The balance car may still be unfamiliar to many people, because its previous positioning was to take the high-end route, security, camera, golf cart and other non consumer electronics, which may explain why The ancestor of electric balance car Segway has not become popular after 12 years of development. On April 15, 2015, domestic balance car manufacturers Acquisition of Ninebot consortium Segway， And establish a cooperative relationship with Xiaomi, Ninebot 9 balance car The price of 1999 has impacted the whole balance car market, and the cost performance ratio is really high, As for whether the balance car can be popularized from now on with the help of price advantage This still needs to be tested by practice, and then we will find out.
2、 [Unpacking]:
The packaging volume of the balance car is quite large, and the outline of the Xiaomi balance car (Nuenbo mini balance car) is on the packaging box.
On the side of the packing box is the product information of No. 9 balance car, which is manufactured by Nuenbo and controlled by Bluetooth, nominal The weight is about 16KG, and the travel is 22KM‘
After opening, there are relevant operation diagrams of assembly and startup, which is still considerate.
The manual and warranty book are attached inside.
OK, Here is the family photo: the balance car is above Two rounds The lower part of the main body is the accessory, and the right side is the direction operating lever (handle).
The accessory box contains a small wrench for assembly+2 screws+nose; There is also a combination of charging rod and charger.
Step 1: Assembly
Put on the steering rod, use a small wrench to install two screws, and then install the tip of the nose. The small wrench is also easy to use and easy to operate. Girls can also use it easily.
The pedal part is made of foam material, which can alleviate the impact of vibration. There is also a direction guide for stepping.
There is LED display in front of the host: switch, car lock, Bluetooth, power and other signal lights.
The lower front end is the charging interface, and there are LED night lights on the left and right sides.
There are long LED lights (brake lights) on both sides of the rear, and you can customize the color and light effect settings.
The battery is made of 30 18650 lithium batteries with 4300mA, which is similar to the battery design of the Xiaoniu electric vehicle and Tesla (of course not the same).
The tires are vacuum tires with twills. The grip is good. It can reduce the skidding in wet and slippery areas in rainy days.
The measured 12.6KG is heavy, and the girls are very tired. If the boys carry the balance car to the third floor, they will almost pant, and it is impossible to put it into the backpack.
Since Xiaomi balance car is a scooter (without shock absorption system), you need to be very careful when passing deceleration strips or obstacles, and slow down.
3、 [APP experience]:
First, start the balance car, and turn on the Bluetooth mode of the mobile phone. The Xiaomi balance car automatically recognizes and connects, which is very fast.
For novices using Xiaomi balance car, it is recommended to open speed limit mode+watch the teaching on APP.
Watch teaching on APP:
Start speed limit mode: (maximum speed limit of speed limit mode is 10km/h)
With APP, you can observe the real-time balance car information, such as power, remaining range, temperature, etc.
The APP can be used to remotely control and lock the vehicle.
Lock status:
Remote control:
The APP can set the speed and light color of Xiaomi balance car.
APP operation video:
4、 [Function Demonstration]:
Locking and anti-theft:
When the car lock is opened and the balance car is moved, the mobile phone end and the balance car will continue to vibrate, which has a certain effect.
Remote control demonstration:
The remote control balance car can move, but it is difficult to accurately control the direction, the control sensitivity is not enough, and the actual experience effect is average.
5、 [Actual experience]
First time use: easy to use
It takes three minutes to get started, At the beginning of the station, it will sway back and forth. Try several times to eliminate this situation. It is estimated that the internal balance system is automatically adjusted, which conforms to the user's operating habits. Therefore, the Xiaomi balance car is quick to start and easy to operate.
Uphill and downhill ability: stable
Uphill: excellent ability. The official promotion of the climbing angle is below 15 degrees. However, according to the actual measurement, there is no problem when climbing at 35 degrees. Even in the speed limit mode, this is mainly due to the high torque and high motor power.
Downhill: stable. At first, I was afraid of going downhill. After a "desperate" attempt, I found that the downhill has a deceleration function, which is good and can reduce the occurrence of dangerous situations.
Shock absorption and comfort: average
There is basically no shock absorption effect, and the comfort is related to the standing time. After standing for 10 minutes, you will obviously feel the leg is sour, so it is suitable for riding for less than 10 minutes.
Driving effect at night: acceptable
According to the actual test, the headlight can illuminate a distance of 3-4 meters. However, because the device height of the light is slightly low, it can only illuminate the ground. You need to be careful and slow down at night in a very dark environment. Fortunately, the tail light flashes.
Endurance and charging:
After this period of experience, the endurance is about 16-20 km. Of course, weather, road conditions and climbing frequency will affect the endurance, especially in winter, which will have a great impact on the lithium battery, and even reduce the endurance by half. The endurance of 20 km is equivalent to that of other 50 km balance cars, so it is doomed to be used as a means of transportation for short distance. The charging time is close to the nominal one in 3.5-4 hours.
Dangerous operation tips:
Hazard 1: Since it is possible to move forward and backward by stepping on a single pedal, and people's center of gravity may not be stable at this time, if the balance car suddenly moves forward or backward, it is very likely to be dangerous. Novice and children need to pay attention, especially children need to complete the exercise with the accompaniment of their parents.
Hazard 2: Slow down as much as possible in the process of backing up, and move the steering lever less, or you will fall or throw people out of the car.
6、 [Conclusion]:
advantage:
1999, extremely cost-effective
Quick to use and low difficulty to operate
Stable operation, strong uphill and downhill ability
Abundant APP settings
Disadvantages:
Average endurance
Average shock absorption effect
The night lighting effect is not good
This Xiaomi balance car is located on a short distance, with low difficulty in getting started, smooth driving, smooth braking process, and strong uphill and downhill ability It is no problem to commute to work as a 10 minute or so journey with good road conditions. If it is a long distance or the road is potholed, there may be other better options. Anyway， It's really not easy to buy a stable and easy-to-use balance car in 1999. Of course, we hope the manufacturer will solve the problems in the future. Maybe this Xiaomi balance car will make more people realize what a balance car is. Let's wait and see.
