The Perfect Segway Ninebot Max Scooter Modifications
After quite a few changes to my Ninebot Max Scooter I am now completely satisfied with its performance. Here I show everything that I have done to it. I have ridden 1800 miles in total so far on the Max. Something I forgot to mention in the video is that the software needs re-flashing along with the additional 12v battery that is all part of the My Max Mods kit. This was a simple task and there are plenty of videos online about how to do that. The re-flash is essential to get the best out of the modification, also the reflash alone even without the extra battery improves the performance greatly.
Here are a couple more notes. The rear tire wears out after about 1000 miles, the front lasts twice as long. I would recommend only original CST (Chen Shin Tire) replacements as they have an anti puncture sticky goop bonded to the inside of the tire tread area. You should never get a puncture with these tires.
With the Monorim front suspension if you tighten all the 6mm screws in the normal fashion, you will damage all the bearings, For each pivot point there are two ball bearings pressed into the suspension arm from either side. The problem is that there is a gap between the bearings in the middle so when the screw is tightened, it simply puts side force on the ball bearings and damages them immediately making the suspension movement notchy. I replaced all the ball bearings (from Amazon) and added shims in the middle to prevent this damage. Its difficult to describe, I'll probably do a video on it.

I added a steering damper to my Ninebot Max Scooter. The difference it makes to the twitchy handling is excellent and it is well worth considering this modification. This is all my own fabrication as no-one that I know of makes a kit for this purpose.

You can clearly see the temperature inversion layers in this clip. I'm flying at about the top of the cold layer and it is thick with smog. The warmer air up above is holding it all down. A super day for flying so I thought. Tragically Kobe Bryant's crash was about an hour later 50 miles north of here.

    I love my es3 but also hated some stuff to it. I was on Budget when I bought my ES3 got it for like $120 like new from someone who bought it but didn’t like it so let it sit. But one thing I hated was the electronic brakes I wished it had a disk or drum brake to help have more braking power. Didn’t like not having suspensions in the rear either So I bought a pneumatic 8in wheel with drum brakes and drilled 3 holes on my scooter to fit a lever brake with the drum brakes and wheels so much better Other thing I hated was how short the handle bars were, as some who goes cycling having proper bar length was important so I 3d printed an extension and bought new bicycle grips also and added a customer peak design Mount also.

    As an ebike user, I recently came across a new project called freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike, and I must say, it's truly impressive. The video was informative, showcasing the outstanding features of the Morph e-bike. I was particularly intrigued by the dual modes that allow it to be used both indoors and outdoors. The ability to charge the bike while in indoor mode is a game-changer! The brushless 750W motor, smooth ride with suspension and puncture-resistant tires, and the Smart Saddle Detection+ feature for fitness insights all make this e-bike stand out. I'm excited to learn more about freebeat and their innovative products!

    Fantastic mods, I still slightly disagree with the 48 Volt mod for several reasons, but that's my opinion. I don't like risking overheating and burning up the motor, burning connectors, adding weight, increasing charger carryon weight, going through tires faster, etc. The Front and rear suspension were pretty interesting, but that steering damper could be a lifesaver I'm sure.

    You're brake is supposed to be positioned that way because you're supposed to keep a grasp on the bar while you're breaking, only 1 or 2 fingers on the brake lever, because if you hit a bump it could knock the handle bar from your grip. The higher end scooters have short brake levers so you can't squeeze it on your fingers

    • @Nonbock
      @Nonbock Рік тому

      On the early design front suspension video you have seen, the front fender did not move up and down with the wheel so when the suspension compressed, the wheel would contact the fender and act like a sudden brake. The design now has a fender mount that goes up and down with the wheel and clearance remains constant. No longer an issue.

    • @Nonbock
      @Nonbock Рік тому

      No, except for some pressure guidelines, mostly important to note that the larger chamber needs to be a higher pressure than the smaller one. I experimented with different pressures to get the best feel. As I recall 40psi in the large chamber and 30 in the small one. Note that the seals stick to the shaft after about a day of non use. You have to bounce the scooter to free up the seal then it will be fine for the ride.

    Great video. Love the idea with the wondow to oberserve the interiors. Couple question: What are lengths of those shock absorbers that you use? I know that there are 150, 165 and 190 mm options. What I could see other people do is they put a 165 mm on the front suspension and 150 mm on the back. It seems like this also solves the problem of leveling the scooter. Another question is about folding the scooter. After the installation of the rear monorim suspension is it still possible to attach the clip which is on the handlebar to the monorim hook on your scooter? Cheers.

    • @Nonbock
      @Nonbock Рік тому

      Both my shocks are 150mm, but the 160 on the front as you say should work great to lift it up and save all the modifications I did. Yes you can still fold the handle down and clip it to the monorim hook. You will have to twist the clip on the handlebar a little.
