Would appreciate if someone could clarify the word "Renewed" here. When I was buying I thought it stands for renewed model, but turns out it stands foe returned-renewed (refurbished) ?
Btw, is the 5.99 contribution mandatory on the Xiaoflasher app? I wonder if the first scooter somehow took the region 30 mph update without paying. I don't mind contributing, but not sure if the fee is really the issue. I tried ninebot iap and ninebot flasher on pc without any luck. Hmmm.
1-order a fresh dashboard on amazon this is what i ordered: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TSNV...UTF8&
2- once the dash is installed, download the xiaoflasher app from google play store spelled exactly like this.
3-go to https://esx.cfw.sh/. If you know what your doing, then you can go ahead and do it, if you dont, do what i did to avoid killing yourself or the scooter. Input the following settings:
A-presets:ES4.
B-basics: select DRV139 from drop down, leave the rest alone.
C-power &speed:
- drag the slider to 51000, to stay on the safe side.
-Max speed set it to max unless you want it slower
-Motor start speed: 2kmh
-Kers: if you dont wanr to die like i almost did select KERS/12 ("freewheel") and MAKE SURE NO KERS box is unchecked.
Skip to
4-advanced:leave everything alone except last one, check the box "current based throttle algorithm." Withour this your scooter won't go past 16 mph.
lastly here hit finished time to cook and select xiaoflasher as your app, download the zip file to youe phone where you can find it or to youe computer and send to your phone somehow.
Go to xiaoflasher app,
1-hit the plug logo which will show your scooter if you installed the dash correctly and powered the scooter up. Once you are connected, and scooter beeps, click on select zip file then find the file you downloaded from instructions above.
2-hit flash selected zip file, DONT MESS with anything else yet, and stay next to your scooter obviously until its done.
3- once its done turn scooter off and back on, go back to the xiaoflasher app and connect to your scooter again.
4- if your scooter original serial that showed on top of the app or stamped on bottom of your scooter is N2GRK1841CXXXX or almost the same as this. You need it replace it with N2GTX1601CXXXX. Replace xxxx with last 4 digits of your current serial. Step 5 is how you replace it
5- go to "change region" and hit custom. Wait for the counter if u dont want to donate. Type in the new serial from above N2GTX1601Cxxxx. Replace xxxx with last 4 of your serial.
Hit submit and flash the new serial.
You are done your scooter will now ride smoothly , switch between modes and go rocket speed aka 23mph or more.
Going 19-20mph on flat terrain I used the electric brake and heard a grinding noise. Turned it off and then on and it doesnt go away even when not using the brake.
Seems to be that I fried the control board based on quick research.
I may be able to repair a "track" or mosfet.
Fyi: check that it's set to weak under the app or try a different configuration.
Edit: swapped the complete stem (handles, stem, batteries, control board etc) from another scooter to the bad scooter and it worked fine.
So the problem is in fact something to do with the control board.

also, does your 1st scooter have same software version as the other?
I could also switch the speedo between miles and km but it seems like it might be inverted. It also has alarms you can set when you reach a certain speed, amperage, power and temp. You can have the alarms vibrate, sound, voice or even all 3.
You can also use it record video of your trips. Or have it integrate with siri to check things such as remaining mileage, battery level, etc. Siri will announce the info. It is a pretty cool app though not all features work with my Bird.
Anyone else with iOS get to try DarknessBot. Seems like it would be a great addition to those looking for basic functionality and can't connect with the Segway app.
My "buy a protection plan" link now forces me to login and gets me "you don't have an eligible item". Walmart is unable to attach the order to my account.
Walmart connects me to squaretrade, squaretrade tells me that their policy is not to sell ride-on protection plans, and that Walmart can do it. Back and forth. On the phone now with them trying to figure it out. Squaretrade also wants to see the item on the website, which is a problem since the link has changed.
I wonder if having walmart remove my account can help.
Update: Walmart.com is now telling me to reach out to my local store, and maybe they can help. I cannot fathom how such a dumpster wreck of a system became so big...maybe that's why Walmart.com is so much smaller than Amazon.
Update: No joy. Local store can only sell a plan when they sell the item. Back to Walmart.com.
