>>1289720This happened to me twice on Ninebot.
On OP-pic scooter, or E-TWOW, this shit wouldn't have happened, since
>They use specifically designed micro controllers for motor control (in case of OP-pic: Infenion, in case of E-TWOW: XCM), not general purpose garbage (STM32) like Ninebot.>Power switch disconnects battery and control circuit (MOSFET driver and mircro), which would allow user to turn of scooter immediately, while on Ninebot power switch only puts micro in sleep mode. >Has no speed limiter (it won't brake if you don't ask for it, while Ninebot will brake if you exceed some speed)>Steering limiter is 180°, which only protects wires, while on Ninebot they decided that 120° would be enough. Also, this is stupid to assume, that all scooters have such glitches. And not all scooters have FWD.
>herp derp scooters are so safe!I didn't say that.
>Either ride a bike or drive a car. Throw this shit in the e-waste bin.Fuck bicycles, because they aren't practical at all.
Cars are nice, but carrying fucktonn of metal isn't cool.
Idea of electric kick scooters is awesome, while realization in many cases is far from ideal. Instead of trashing the idea, it would make more sense to design better, stronger, much more reliable and safer scooter.
They definitely need some sort of motor contractors, like they have on elevators, which disconnect motors physically from VFD (since VFD can glitch).
Other systems can be improved too (good BMS, stronger folding mechanism, softer and longer suspension travel, headlights etc.).
