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, and now Ninebot ranks first in the world in the field of short-distance transportation such as balance cars and electric scooters.
 
Many commuters buy e-scooters to solve the "last mile" problem of commuting, but in China's current traffic regulations, e-scooters do not have the right of way and can only be used on closed roads and indoor venues. In addition, due to the lack of relevant industry and national standards, the quality of electric scooters on the market is uneven, and consumers must choose reliable big brands if they want to buy.
 
Ninebot's No. 9 electric scooter is of excellent quality, with an aluminium alloy frame that has passed the load test of 700kg. The whole car has simple lines and no exposed wiring, and in 2018, it won the iF Design Award, which can be called a design model for the electric scooter industry.
 
The safety configuration of the No. 9 electric scooter is also very perfect, with lighting systems and reflectors at the front and rear of the body, with electronic braking and rear wheel foot brakes, the braking distance can be controlled within four meters at the highest speed, which meets the standard of electric bicycles. The handlebar is designed with a display screen, so the driving status is clear at a glance, and the control is quite simple. At present, the No. 9 electric scooter has three models: standard version (ES1), sports version (ES2), and sports expansion version (ES4), and the pricing and performance have been enhanced in turn.
 
The standard version of the No. 9 electric scooter is priced at 1799 yuan, with a top speed of 20km / h and a cruising range of 25km, which can meet the needs of most users, but the standard version only has shock absorption on the front wheels, and it is more shocking when driving. Long-distance driving is more recommended for the sports version priced at 2799 yuan. The sports version is also equipped with a shock absorption system at the rear of the pedals for a more comfortable ride, and the sports version is also equipped with a more powerful motor for a top speed of 25km/h.
 
The Sport Expansion version is equipped with an expansion battery on the basis of the Sport version, and the cruising range has been increased to 45 km. The extended battery can also be purchased separately and can be upgraded by existing users who own the standard and sport versions. In addition, Ninebot has also launched seat accessories for the No. 9 electric scooter, which consumers can choose at their discretion.
