There is no stick shake or warning before it shuts down?....Thats nothing like a real Segway if thats true!

Although Segway riders drove into walls, into each other, fell on ice, snow, and wet grass, very few Segs actually failed and dumped their riders. I think I recall one, maybe. Without redundancy, this record will change. |

The importance of redundancy may not be obvious to some folks, until they think about it.
Redundancy allows one "half" of the intelligence to monitor the "other half". If the "other half" goes away (i.e., quits working), then the half that's "alive" can institute a stick shake, noisy warning, and reasonably-gentle shutdown. Without redundancy, if it dies, it dies. |

Geez! That does not look good at all ... I hope not also the cheekbone was injured (it looks so). Best wishes for a fast recovery from Germany! |

Been in touch with Ninebot and they want me to ship the unit to Germany to check the pcbs but can't find someone to ship it the parcel companies say segways are prohibited so will have to get back in touch with Ninebot

I could write here now that the manufacturer will answer something like that: "We have the PCB's checked and can not find any error. Your fall must therefore have been a driver's fault.". But of course I do not write such a thing here. Nice that the cheekbone remained intact. I wish you continued good recovery. |
