I have already said it on some occasion: the funniest part of doing tests is to discover a new product niche, go completely ignorant to the subject and learn. Although he had tried other electric scooters, when Ninebot f3 pro e de Segway arrived, I immediately realized the difference.
For some it is Very heavy (19 kilos), but the reality is that it is solid: when it is conducted, its weight becomes a reliable walk, All its parts (wheels, brakes, controls, etc.) recreate that solidity and transmit tranquility. Once we are mounted on it (and with plenty of space to go comfortable), the weight passes to the third plane.
The nnebot f3 pro e is what pWe would hate “plug and play” or, in Spanish: ready to take action. There is no need for special tools to assemble it when it arrives folded, only a simple (included) key that allows you to adjust the components. In total less than five minutes per clock to go out.
It is often recommended to read the instructions of a new device to know all its benefits, improve the experience and take advantage of its qualities. Not with the Ninebot F3 Pro E de Segway. In this case It is best to ride and go for a walk. It can be in eco mode (savings), standard (medium spending) and sport (It consumes more battery, but reaches 25 km/h). We recommend, if possible and safe, the latter. It’s worth it.
This is undoubtedly one of the privileges of living in a small town (and paved in all its corners): Be able to move everywhere without depending on large vehicles, park in (almost) anywhere and not contaminate, It is a luxury. If we add that the peoples (in the north and near the sea) usually have pronounced increases, dizzying declines and a changing meteorology (I will only say Asturias), a scooter can be a challenge.
But in this case, the nnebot f3 pro e It did not pass (never) of 25 km/h at the descents and never fell from the 10 km/h in the most vertical increases We have here. Nor is the rain or cobblestone afraid. The damping system is based on a double suspension: the hydraulic front and the rear of elastomer. It is not to have a tea on board, but it is not to worry … safety again.
And this is a section that shows that they have worked in Segway. While the controls are already accessible half an hour to drive it, they become intuitive, there may be an error, such as pressing the off button. If we are driving and this happens to us, the vehicle “ignores” this and we are not in danger.
The width of the platform also provides a lot of stability and the brakes (double disc) respond instantly (unless we do what is not done with any vehicle of this type: clicking both at the same time abruptly). To this we must add the lights. So much The front as the rear are LEDs and illuminate surprisingly well for their size. It has approved turn lights (they are controlled with the control located on the left part of the handlebars) and brake lights as well. Finally, the tires do not have a camera, they have a jelly layer (greater absorption of blows and resistance) and are self -inable.
Taking advantage of the fact that we talk about the controls, they are located on the left side (ask Segway: Would it be possible to change them from the side, with the accelerator, if we wanted to?) just above a small bell to alert our arrival (it is very silent, be careful with driving).
Finally, the speed: it is 25 km/h stop. There is no form, neither in descent, nor with less weight, to go further. And it’s fine: It guarantees complete control and avoids reckless behaviors.
The power of 1200 w is noticed: As soon as we throw ourselves if we press the accelerator at top, we will feel a pull and throw forward. That will happen to the beginning, later the speed control becomes simple.
As for autonomy, if we want to take it to the fullest, we talk about 70 km. Real (which can almost double your buy an external battery). Now, if we use Sport mode, autonomy is reduced to 50 km. The load is very simple and fast and in just over 3 hours we pass from 0 to 100.
We are now with the home tasks. Yes, we can enjoy the ninebot simply as a scooter and receive the basic information given by the 2.4 -inch screen (speed, distance, battery), But we can also download the app and raise its benefits remarkably.
Once we register, it connects to our mobile by Bluetooth and not only allows us to use the screen as a map, to go anywhere, also It allows us to know who is calling us, control the remote load and, most interesting, activate or block it at a distance: the mobile as a key of the scooter.
The Segway-Ninebot application is The perfect tool to locate it if we have lost or “have lost it” Thanks to the integration with the Apple Find My application.
Verdict:
Segway’s Ninebot F3 Pro E is priced at 649 euros and yes, its price is higher than others, but they are not similar if we take into account the highest value of this model (security), it is also excellent in autonomy, speed and its own application rises the level of benefits. And there will certainly be more … always depending on security as the first variable
