It shipped from CA.
Anyone know where is the extra battery pack locate?
Bird loaded custom firmware disabling the Bluetooth features, and they will not connect to the app.
You need to flash or replace the dashboard.

I have 3 of these purchased in the last 2 weeks and they do not connect to the app.
Cruise control works after enabling in the Segway app. Set the brakes to max regen and that might be a bit too much. Like everyone else the firmware won't update past 47% and then dies. All the lights seem to work. Scooter is an absolute steal for the money. My app said it had only been used .7 km (so about .4 miles). It looks brand new.
One thing to keep in mind, non-pneumatic tires (meaning solid, with no air pressure) are treacherous as hell when the road is wet. Those painted lines are bad when dry, and like oil on ice when wet. Take it super easy if turning when it is wet.
The nice thing is these tires don't get flats but ride quality also suffers. So if it is misty, rainy, wet, etc. just slow way down especially when turning. Not sure how waterproof these are. I wish I had bought another one though I already have two very fast scooters (40 and 50 mph respectively). This is just a great beat around scooter. I am fine with the top speed of about 16 mph. Given the small wheels, no suspension, solid tires and small battery pack, it is plenty fast. Going faster will kill the range dramatically anyway. If you want something faster, spend more money and get an Apollo Pro or Ultra, Zero 10X or 11x, Dualtron Thunder, etc. Then you have good suspension, AWD, and amazing acceleration and top speeds of 40 mph and up.
For the money though, this has to one of the best deals I've found on SD that wasn't some total price screw up. I am going to be tracking the site and see if these pop up again. If if the Bluetooth didn't work, and i couldn't connect the app, this thing is solidly built and still a great buy.

I dont really see the use of the app except for tracking and maybe locking the scooter.

Edit 1 - You can change the board/deck lights using the M365 tools app.
Edit 2 - You can use the Nine Dash app to change from km/h to mph (I haven't personally done this, but some users have had success with it, there should be a setting somewhere in that app)

on this thread someone found an easy unlock for speed, has anyone tried it tho o see if it worx
---
For those taking count, I bought 2. Both have flashing Bluetooth. When I connect with the official or third party apps via Android, the scooter beeps and Bluetooth logo becomes solid. Locked in Sport mode, 15.5 mph/25 km/h, can't flash firmware like everyone.
For those without Bluetooth, you're not missing too much.
So far, Bluetooth features:
-Lock/unlock the scooter. Locking just makes it so gas pedal doesn't work and the electronic brake is applied when you try to roll the scooter manually. It makes a relatively quiet beep if you try to roll it. Would fail as a deterrent in my opinion. Also comically, you cannot turn off the scooter while it is locked, so you have the flashing RGB LEDs on the undercarriage continuously going while it's locked.
-Modify regen: low (default)/med/high. This is how much the scooter applies electronic braking when you're cruising without pressing gas or brakes.
-Cruise control: on/off. If on, if you hold the gas for 5 seconds straight while riding, the scooter will beep and then keep the gas on without needing to press gas until you brake.
-Through 3rd party app m365 tools:
---Turn on/off tail light. This allows you to make it so the tail light isn't always on, instead it's only on when brakes are applied. Personally I'd keep it on.
---Modify the undercarriage LED lighting
-Through 3rd party app Nine Dash: Can change scooter display to mph or km/h.
-There is no ability to change speed, sport mode, or
undercarriage LEDsso far.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
Did you also try changing your serial number with Ninebot Flasher? That's another way of derestricting the speed.
