Ninebot Mini: An Experience from the Mi Explorer [MiGeneration] Unboxing, Review

Introduction

Under the Mi Generation program conducted by Mi India, 34684 Mi Fans have applied to be the first 100 Mi Explorers to explore the new Redmi Note 3. I am one of the lucky 100 Mi Fans who got to taste the flavor of new Redmi Note 3 Golden one. The Mi Explores job was to complete three missions every day for two weeks and upload photos and videos. Other Mi Fans like and share those tasks. There were multiple prizes for both explorers and Mi fans. Among the awards, the most attractive prize was the Ninebot Mini, which was to be given to the explorer who will get the highest number of likes from Mi Fans.

Lucky me !!! I won the contest and received my love Ninebot Mini.

Short and sweet Review

You can see lots of reviews of Ninebot Mini online, so I will not waste your time and directly jump to my experience.

It will take hardly 1 minute to learn if you have a good teacher. In my case, I had watched all the youtube videos related to Ninebot Mini.
Lean forward to go forward and backward for brake (Never go backward or you might be in an unpleasant situation), press the shaft or handle left, right to turn left and right.
Balancing over the Ninebot is easy as it is already balanced, you just have to step up with the help of someone or wall near you for the first time.
You have to install the Ninebot app and complete the training part to go out of the speed limitation zone. It will give you a bip sound if you are not connected to the app.
It will take hardly 5 minutes to be a professional Ninebot rider. Practice on a smooth horizontal surface. Don't fear that you will fall or something.
After one day, I feel like the wheel press becomes low, but can't able to find it externally.
If you can't able to balance over the ninebot, just bend your knees.

Pros:

1. It operates on battery, so you are relieved from the hike in petrol cost. I am using it daily to go to college. Our college road is awesome.

2. 15KMPH is a speed equal to a bicycle, so you are not slow.

3. You can change the back side led colors and pattern, there is various choice inbuilt in the Ninebot app, so that you can show off.

4. It takes only 3hrs to full charge.

5. With the front powerful white touch lights, you can see up to 3 meters clearly in the dark night.

6. You will get all types of vehicle information on the front side. (Battery, Bluetooth connected, Locked)

7. You can lock your Ninebot from App so that no one can drive it away. It will vibrate and ring a alarm if someone try to ride it in locked mode. It will throw him out from the vehicle.

Cons:

Due to white color, it can be easily dirty. One bottle of collin liquid is emptied, for cleaning the white body within 7 days. I can't afford. So I am thinking of doing a Black stickering all over the body.
After you became a professional driver, you will think that the 15KMPH is very slow speed.

Weight load test (95KG + 15KG) still Ninebot works smoothly. (Note: Don't load it more than 85KG as per company specification)

Current Price in Indian currency is Rs. 20,000/- in China, but after import the custom duty is 150% and the value will be minimum Rs. 55,000 - 60,000/-
I will suggest this new age gadget to everyone. If you can anyhow get a hands on it, don't miss the chance.
