No.9 single wheel balance car Ninebot One A1 is acquired by Xiaomi The second type of balance car product launched after the Nuenbo balance car brand is more portable, more flexible and more playable than the No. 9 double wheel balance car. What's the actual experience.

Appearance details

The No.9 single wheel balance car Ninebot One A1 (hereinafter referred to as Ninebot One A1) uses conventional kraft paper boxes. In order to carry conveniently, a handle is also designed on the top of the packing box. Detailed product information is also printed on one side of the packing box. The maximum bearing capacity of Ninebot One A1 is 120kg, the maximum speed is about 15km/h, the endurance is about 15km, the net weight is 21 kg, and it supports Bluetooth 4.0.

When unpacking, the first thing I saw was the accessories of Ninebot One A1, including charging line, power adapter, extended air nozzle and various detailed instructions on use and safety. The Ninebot One A1 is wrapped with thick foam to effectively prevent collision during transportation.

take out Ninebot One A1， The size of the whole vehicle is 448 * 419 * 182. It adopts a single wheel design, which is rounder and simpler overall. The classic color matching of black, white and gray makes it look more fashionable.

The grey part on the top of Ninebot One A1 is its hidden handle, and the product logo of Ninebot One A1 is printed on it.

On the front and rear sides of the handle, the only switch button and charging interface on the body of the Ninebot One A1 are designed respectively. The same rubber material and the same shape design ensure the symmetry of the Ninebot One A1. According to the manufacturer, the Ninebot One A1 has no special front and rear, so you can ride no matter which side is forward.

The pedals on both sides of the Ninebot One A1 adopt a foldable design. We all know that for a single wheel balance vehicle, we can't avoid that it will not fall down once during the ride. If it falls down, the pedal position will be the first to land. Therefore, The pedal of Ninebot One A1 is made of magnesium alloy with higher strength. In addition, it can better absorb shock and impact.

Open the wide pedal, and most of the surface of the standing position of the pedal is similar to sandpaper, which can effectively play the role of anti-skid.

The tyres of Ninebot One A1 are 14 inch pneumatic tyres, so they have good shock resistance and wear resistance.

That's all for the appearance of Ninebot One A1. Open the pedals on both sides, and you can start your unicycle journey.

The different flash modes are as follows.

For beginners, many people must not be able to control the Ninebot One A1 very well, and the Ninebot app is very humanized with the teaching mode and safe driving guide of the Ninebot One A1. Self learning according to the built-in tutorial can make it easier and faster for users to control the Ninebot One A1.

Cycling experience:

According to the use tutorial of the Ninebot app, I can gradually start to grasp the balance of Ninebot One A1 after many falls.

Now the already scarred Ninebot One A1 tells us that for beginners, learning Ninebot One A1 should try to practice on the plastic playground, which can not only prevent Ninebot One A1 from falling, but also effectively ensure their own safety. After all, personal safety is the first.

I will not say much about the hardships that the author and Ninebot One A1 have experienced together, but it can be seen from such shocking scratches that, The quality of Ninebot One A1 is very good, and it can stand all kinds of tragic accidents. After so many disasters, Here, let's tell beginners some experience about learning wheelbarrows.

1. First of all, you should wear light sports shoes, which are easier to control. In order to protect your own safety, you should also wear a variety of protective equipment.
2. At the beginning of learning, you can find your own balance way with the help of railings or friends. First, learn to move forward in a straight line. When you can master the straight line, you can slowly learn to turn.
3. When practicing, try not to look at Ninebot One A1, nor open your hands to find balance. These two methods are not practical for learning Ninebot One A1. You just need to relax and let your feet find the right balance point. Even if you keep moving forward, it is more beneficial for learning Ninebot One A1.
4. At the beginning, when I rode the Ninebot One A1, my two feet tightly clamped the Ninebot One A1. In fact, although this control method can be used for a period of time, it would be very awkward and difficult to control the direction. The best control method is to make the foot in a splayed shape and clamp the Ninebot One A1 with the heel, This allows better cornering control.

The author boldly rode alone without railings and support, so he also fell many times (the car fell, people did not fall). Seeing the worn Ninebot One A1, I believe many Virgos will be unbearable. Fortunately, Ninebot One will also sell the shell and protective sleeve of Ninebot One A1 separately in the future, This may be a little consolation for Virgo. After a long time of practice, the author can also control the Ninebot One A1 very well. Because the Ninebot One A1 is a single wheel design, it is more flexible in handling than the two wheels. After becoming proficient, you can easily get on the car, turn 8, get off, and so on. A simple experience video of Ninebot One A1 is also attached below. I believe that every beginner can find his own balance point slowly and easily.

Load bearing and endurance:

The maximum bearing capacity of Ninebot One A1 reaches an astonishing 120kg, which is basically suitable for everyone around.

After fully charged, the official endurance of the Ninebot One A1 is 15km, but in actual use, it will be biased according to the weight of the cyclists and the road conditions. If the road conditions are bumpy or there are many uphills, it will definitely consume more power. After many attempts, the author found that each ride can reach more than 15km, This endurance can basically meet the needs of ordinary users.

If you think the endurance is not enough, you can also purchase an additional battery for the Ninebot One A1 from the official. Open the screws hidden in the rubber pad on both sides of the Ninebot One A1, and you can remove the panels on both sides of the Ninebot One A1. It can be seen that the Ninebot One A1 is only equipped with one battery, while the other side has reserved space for users to upgrade the battery, If another battery is added, it will not only double the endurance of the Ninebot One A1 to 30 kilometers, but also increase the maximum speed of the Ninebot One A1 from 18 kilometers to 20 kilometers per hour. For those who need a long endurance, it is recommended to buy it.
After disassembling the two side panels of the Ninebot One A1, the author also found a problem that there is a rubber ring around the batteries on both sides of the Ninebot One A1. With this, the Ninebot One A1 can provide the waterproof and dustproof requirements of IP54. Generally speaking, it only supports splash prevention. For the safety of itself and the Ninebot One A1, it is not recommended to ride in rainy days. Moreover, when the author took apart one side of the panel, the rubber seal ring on one side had fallen off because of a collision. If the Ninebot One A1 had a collision, its waterproof ability would certainly be affected, but fortunately, it could be recovered very easily.

About inflation charging:

Ninebot One A1 uses 14 inch explosion-proof and anti-skid pneumatic tires. For inflation, it needs to rely on the air nozzle attached with the machine. Its top adopts a thread design, and can be inflated by directly rotating and tightening.

With regard to the charging of the Ninebot One A1, there is no charging indicator on the balance car. The only sign that can distinguish whether it is fully charged is the small indicator on the charger. The red indicator indicates that it is charging, while the yellow indicator indicates that the charging is complete.

About carrying:

The weight of the Ninebot One A1 is 21 kg. Even if the handle of the Ninebot One A1 is so comfortable and skin friendly, I believe that most people are unwilling to carry it for a long distance. The author has tried many times, and found that it is OK to lift ten meters on the flat road. If it is too far, you can ride. Of course, if there is no electricity, it will be a nightmare. If you lift up the stairs, because I live on the fourth floor without an elevator, and have tried twice, I don't want to be a porter of Ninebot One A1. Although the weight of the Ninebot One A1 is only 20 jin of rice in a bag, it is believed that many strong people will also be easier to carry the Ninebot One A1, but I just don't like to mention it for the author who seldom exercises and has a small stomach. For the Ninebot One A1, the author thinks that it is more suitable to put it in the trunk of a car than to carry it home every day. In addition, it is completely suitable as a means of transportation for close travel.

Safety advice:

When you are proficient in riding Ninebot One A1, you will gradually find that it is not difficult to ride a single wheel, and the control is flexible. But it is also because of the single wheel that you will keep focusing on your feet to find balance. If you ride a long distance, your feet will still hurt, and the more tired your feet are, the harder it will be to control them. Therefore, the author suggests:
1. Do not use Ninebot One A1 for long-distance cycling. It is better to play Ninebot One A1 within half an hour. If it is more than half an hour, the author will obviously feel uncomfortable.
2. In addition, although the single wheel operation is flexible, it is not recommended to ride on roads or in large numbers of people. If an accident occurs, the results will be unimaginable.

In addition to the above situations, I believe that everyone can walk with ease Ninebot One A1 gallops in different places and enjoys the fun of unicycle.

Summary:

Ninebot One A1 It is a unicycle with high turning back rate and flexible riding. It can make you the focus of the road even if you don't learn it. If you learn it, it can not only make you feel good, but also become a tool for short distance walking. The 120kg load, 18km/h speed and 15km endurance can basically meet the travel needs of most people. In addition, the battery is upgraded, App intelligent management and other functions also make Ninebot One A1 more practical and interesting. If you want to be the focus of the street, or want to walk on the street with few people, or put it in the trunk of the car for green travel, Ninebot One A1 will be a good choice.
