In 2012, electric scooters, balance bikes and other means of transportation began to be sought after by young people, and a large amount of capital poured into the field of mobility. Ninebot is one of the companies born on the wave of "short-haul travel". In 2015, with the help of the capital injection of Xiaomi, Red Shirt and Shunwei, this start-up company acquired Segway, the originator of balance cars, and formed Segway-Ninebot. This acquisition not only launched the brand awareness, but also introduced more than 400 patents for the company, and established the company's leading position in the short-distance transportation industry.
 
At present, the high-end balance bikes produced by Segway-Ninebot are still sold under the Segway brand, while the Ninebot brand focuses on cost performance and has more purchase options. Ninebot's balance bike is more portable and compact, with smaller wheels and pedal components, so the driving experience is also compromised.
 
Ninebot's product line can be broadly divided into two-wheeled self-balancing scooters and single-wheeled self-balancing scooters. There is not much difference between the two types of self-balancing scooters in principle and technology, but overall, the safety and handling feel of the two-wheeled self-balancing bike is better, and it is easier to get started.
 
Ninebot E is priced at 14,900 yuan, which is the highest-end model of the Ninebot brand. The Ninebot E operates in the same way as the Segway, but the Ninebot E is more focused on driving pleasure and portability, and the overall shape is more slender and stylish, and the weight of the car is almost half that of the Segway X2. Overall performance is not as good as the Segway X2 and I2, but the driving experience is still top-notch for the price.
 
The No.9 series is Ninebot's staple series, all of which are two-wheel knee-control. The basic No. 9 balance bike is sold on Xiaomi's platform, priced at 1999 yuan, which is currently the most popular balance bike product on the market. The No. 9 balance bike has a cruising range of 22km, which can meet the needs of most users. The body design is compact, so adults can easily carry it into the trunk of a car. If you're looking to take your ride to the next level, opt for the No. 9 Plus with its larger tires and pedals. The Plus has increased in size and weight, but the range has also reached 35km.
 
The enhanced version of the No. 9 balance car miniPro is priced at 3699 yuan, which is very popular in the overseas market, and on the day of Amazon Super Member Day in the United States in 2016, miniPro sales exceeded 40 million yuan. In order to adapt to users of different heights, miniPro adopts a retractable knee-controlled steering lever, and the steering lever also has a traction handle and quick-release design, which is very convenient for dragging and storage.
 
In order to enrich the gameplay of the balance bike, Ninebot recently launched a kart modification kit for the No. 9 balance bike and miniPro. The kit is suitable for height of 130cm-190cm, and can be driven by both children and adult players.
 
The learning threshold of single-wheeled self-balancing scooters is much higher than that of two-wheeled self-balancing scooters, and Ninebot officially said that it takes 2-20 hours to master single-wheeled self-balancing scooters. However, the single-wheeled balance bike is small in size, and has a personalized design such as a retractable handle and a pull rod, so it is more convenient to carry a balance bike to take a means of transportation.
 
Ninebot's single-wheeled balance bike models all start with One, and the difference is mainly in range. The entry-level model One A1 is priced at 1699 yuan, with a single range of about 15km, which can already meet the daily use of most users. The price of the dual-battery version of the A1 is about 500 yuan higher, and the single range is increased to 30km, which is very cost-effective at the price.
 
The One Series Z6 and Z10 are designed for enthusiasts. Among them, the flagship Z10 is priced at nearly 10,000 yuan, with a range of up to 90km, and there is no need to charge it frequently for heavy use. Thanks to the high-capacity battery, the Z10 also soars to 24kg, more than double the weight of the A1. Considering the weight of the bike, Ninebot specially designed the tie rod for the Z6 and Z10 to make it easier to move the balance bike on the road that is not easy to ride.
