>What's the recommended buy?EE and ME degree. Maybe also welding, machining, etc. courses.
Well. Ninebot/Xiaomi and NIU are probably the most finished ones in terms of battery safety, but they all are kinda gimmicky (bluetooth and botnet app), and their performance... Within legal requirements, i.e. boring.
Except E-series ninebot. They are awful. Don't buy them. I even made a meme. And you won't believe it, but next Ninebot failure wasn't related to ninebot at all, it made my other e-scooter break down because it has negative energy aura whatever. Fucking ES2.
>>1956725>The shit that pisses me off about most of them is that there's the "claimed range" and then the "realistic range". That's nothing. Sometimes they lie about battery capacity. That makes it really hard to calculate wtf is going on.
>>1956722>- because of the stem's high leverage, it can flex and wobble, especially at higher speeds and acceleration. make sure the model you choose has a strong, secure clampYou are NOT supposed to apply any pressure to the steering bars. They are for steering, not holding. Think of it as a unicycle, but instead of shitty gyro with microcontroller, you're the controller. Do not apply any force to steering column unless its an emergency of some sort.
