Xiaomi Ninebot Mini Personal Transportation Scooter

The Xiaomi Ninebot Mini Scooter has a range of 22 kilometres and a top speed of 15 kilometres per hour. Other specs include a 4-hour charge time and a weight limit of 85 kg. The Xiaomi Ninebot Mini Scooter itself weighs around 12.8 kg and should easily fit in the trunk of your car. It's capable of handling 15-degree inclines, but any steeper and you'll be pushing the transporter yourself. I had the chance to spend some time with the Xiaomi Ninebot Mini Scooter, and the self-balancing "hoverboard" is certainly a lot of fun to ride. Xiaomi says it takes an average person 3 minutes to learn how to ride one, and I found this to be fairly accurate.

The first minute is spent learning how to get on and off safely, which means mastering putting one foot on the machine before making a quick, confident step up with your other leg. The Mini's balancing algorithm means it's pretty hard to fall off, though you'll likely have trouble standing upright for the first minute or so. Once you get used to it though, it's as natural as standing up straight.

Like the Segway, moving forward is a matter of just leaning forward. The Mini's sensors will detect the shift in balance and will start rolling ahead accordingly. The more you lean out, the faster the Xiaomi Ninebot Mini Scooter moves. To reverse, simply lean backwards. Learning this takes up your second minute, and though at first I found myself moving backwards when I thought I was standing straight, once you get the knack of it it's easy enough.
