In the unlikely event that a malfunction or failure occurs with the original components, the other will take over immediately. At the very same time, the rider receives an update on the unit's status. These types of safety measures are costly to implement, but at Ninebot, safety is our top priority."
That statement makes absolutely no sense, technically. Try thinking of some component for which it makes sense. Batteries? Motors? Wheels and tires? Steering sensors? Balance sensors?

You don't want things on "standby". And, even if discussing electronic controls, there would be the question of how the "standby" component would know that the original component had failed.

And you certainly would not want a second battery to be on "standby".

There may actually be dual components, but if so they don't operate that way.
