Segway-Ninebot unveils new smart electric bikes

Chinese high-tech startup Segway-Ninebot unveiled its brand-new electric bikes on Tuesday in Beijing, which include the Ninebot e-moped and Ninebot e-scooter, along with two conceptual models, the Ninebot e-scooter T and Ninebot Apex.

"Three years ago, Segway-Ninebot decided to redefine the industry with innovations in intelligence. Today, we are introducing our electric bikes with 'true intelligence', with the goal of providing our customers with cutting-edge technologies and smart functions that make their rides more comfortable and convenient," said Gao Lufeng, chairman and CEO of Segway-Ninebot.

Ninebot e-scooter and e-moped have multiple intelligent features. Equipped with a keyless system, users can lock and unlock the vehicle automatically. The smart battery management system enables intelligent parallel connections and fast charging and also provides over 20 types of protection for the battery.

Aided by GPS, Beidou satellite navigation system and base stations, people can keep track of the e-scooter and e-moped at any time, accurately detect the abnormalities and get instant messages sent to smartphones.

The e-scooter can meet mid-to-long distance urban mobility needs. The top model, E200P, is able to achieve a maximum speed of 62 mph and acceleration from 0-25 mph within 3 seconds, with a range of 125 miles under dual-battery mode.

Featuring a colorful appearance and various smart functions, the Ninebot e-moped is a chic electric bike. The newly designed lithium battery can be removed and taken out single-handedly.

"Not all devices that connect to apps are intelligent. Truly intelligent products should be easy to operate and even able to do the operations automatically," said Wang Ye, co-founder and president of Segway-Ninebot.

Segway-Ninebot is a global enterprise in the fields of intelligent short-distance transportation and service robots. In 1999, Segway was established in the United States, and is the world leader in commercial-grade, electric, self-balancing personal transportation.

Ninebot is an intelligent short-distance transportation equipment operator integrating R&D, production, sales and service, established in Beijing in 2012. As Segway and Ninebot completed their strategic combination in 2015, Segway-Ninebot came into being.
