Summary of where I'm at so far:
I bought 2. Both have the flashing Bluetooth icon. 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.
Bluetooth features:
-Official android app:
---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 android 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 pattern/color or turn off.
-Through 3rd party android app Nine Dash: Can change scooter display to mph or km/h.
-There is no ability to change max speed or sport mode so far.
-Ninebot-Flasher does NOT seem to be able to flash/change serial number.
Thanks for this update, Royal. I have found the same things, so thanks for documenting here. I'm annoyed by the fact that m365 tools always defaults back to km/h, each time I open that app. It's an easy toggle to fix, but kind of annoying.
Also, of note, Walmart has completely removed the page for this, so we can't say for sure what it said in the ad. :-( However, this is still a page up for a $399 version of this, also renewed.
I'm hitting up
[email protected] to see if they'll replace the broken bell that came with mine. I'm not so worried about the bell, but more curious how their service will be. This is the "manufacturer" warranty, not the Walmart extended.
