Nice video. I was surprised that your top speed was the same as mine with the original tires. I am happy with the increase in speed and am no longer riding the tilt back.
Yea I need to test it more. So as you got to 13-14mph, did it tilt for you too? It isn't a hardcore tilt but it's definitely there.
@@Duf I never noticed tilt back. I will pay more attention next time I ride it and let you know.
Hey there! I saw the video titled "Segway" and it seems like a cool product! If you're into outdoor activities like camping, the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series could be a useful addition to your gear. It has a massive capacity, fast recharging, and even waterproof technology. Definitely something worth considering for outdoor adventures! Stay powered up!
I'm good but thanks for the suggestion.
Great video! Thank you.
Thanks for your work with Swallowbot!
I've been thinking about getting that scorpion helmet when I get a faster wheel, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. Would be nice in the winter months (Boston area).
I've also been looking at the FOX Proframe MTB helmet. Looks good for summer riding.
I wonder if you can drill holes to let more sound through. Or install an intercom system connected to an external microphone.
Well the main reason I got it was the ability for the chin bar to swing out of the way for coffee drinking and then snap back down for max head protection otherwise. Definitely muffles sound big time.
Thanks Duf, I think the MiniPro is great except for that annoying speed limitation of 10 miles an hour. Yes occasionally you can get up to 11 with it downhill but it is generally stuck at 10 for me. This modification looks like something I could do. What specific tools did you use? Thanks for the video and for bringing it to my attention. Mike from Tampa.
It's easy. You need correct alan wrenches, a phillips head screwsriver, and a small pick tool to pop the connectors out.
@@Duf Thanks!
Like to new intro👍👍👍
Nice helmet too..👌
Helmet will be great for DD runs!
Great video!@Duf @20:32 what type of tire did you put on? Did you have to use larger/higher wheel fender`s?
Yes I got bigger fenders from more4mini.com. They sell kits.
I prefer the knee bar higher. Just above my knee. Who's with me ?
@@LemonySnicket-EUC I prefer the kneebar up to my sholders :-)
Nice I recently bought that chip I'm running 14inch tyre on my minipro segway I get max 17kmh but with this chip should get over 20kmh!
Yea I never got the top speeds reported but it was faster.
Thank you again for your videos, congrats from Morocco
I'm wanting to start using one of these to play golf. This would mean I'd have the golf clubs on my back (it's a double strap golf bag so it's very well balanced and the clubs stay in the lower middle of your back) and some of the courses are pretty hilly. A round of golf can take up to 5 hours and you go 5 to 6 miles. Do you think this would work? Also looking at the Ninebot s plus because it has a higher speed 12.5 MPH and longer battery range 22 miles.
It would definitely work
@@Duf Gonna try it just ordered a minipro off Wal-Mart's website (of all places?!) for $300. Interested to see what the golf courses say about it.
Was it charged to 100% for the speed test? I’ve heard that it scales back somewhat quickly at lower charge levels, so maybe that was a factor?
Yes, full charge.
Yea😏👍it sux
Hope you still have the mini pro. I have one, with the Swallow update. I use the Mini for film work and was wondering whether the bigger tyres and smoother tread are quieter than the standard tyres.
I do not, it left with Cindy.
@@Duf 😕oh. Thanks anyway.
Hi Duf nice video you made. Look like you know a lot about this. I have a ninebot s-plus lost the remote control now stuck in training mode . you know how to get thought that with out remote.Thank you.
The "remote" should be the Segway app on your phone?
@@Duf Yes I try that but it’s still don’t let me go over training mote . Stuck at remote tutoring. At the and it’s asking turn on remote control but I don’t have it
@@stm6498 I am not sure if it is still this way, but it used to be that until you hit 1KM of distance on the unit, it kept you locked into low speed mode. I don't have a Minipro anymore so I can't test it.
@@Duf the S plus has a small remote that stores in the steering bar. It has follow me functions as well as true remote control of it so you can drive it around like an RC car.
Cool helmet bro
Great video.
I have a question about the Bluethoot remote speed. It's any speed upgrade on grasse and hills. (Default mode it's bery weak)
Have not tested
Hi Duf, A co-worker of mine who also has the Minipro wants to know how much of a reduction in range did the increased speed cause, and is there some type of Ultra charger for it like the One wheel has? Thanks, Mike in Tampa
I have not done a range test since the swap out but more speed ALWAYS = less range. I have not heard of upgraded chargers for them but I got a replacement charger for mine here - more4motion.com/collections/chargers-for-segway
@@Duf Thanks much!
I dislike the "tilt back" on my Ninebot S too, but it may be unavoidable. If there was just a speed governor but no tilt-back, then when the user tried to lean further forward when already at top speed, the board might not be able to stay upright. Simple physics. Tilting back is the only way to stay upright without going faster.
Yep
Hello I just got my ninebot segway minipro and it keeps beeping whenever I get on it and stopping really fast and going really slow and I'm only 154 pounds so I don't know what to do
If it's brand new they limit your speed severely until you pass 1KM
Thanks it's fine now I registered it and give out so many miles on it that my speed got boosted to 11.1 MHP but my sister is having a similar problem with what I said and she's risen it for about 5 mins around the side walks and stuff and it's not speeding up
what's weird is that after I did the new rider turtorial and it went 10.9 MPH (My speed limit is now 11.1 MPH thanks to the miles I've put on it) and my sister did the new rider tutorial after she was done with the first one and it's still not letting her unlock the speed limit of 10.9 MPH pls help
@@RealPickleJuiceYT I have ridden mine, and as you aaccumulate more Km (miles) it will increase to MAX in sports mode of 19 km/hr. Considering swallow update, but tyres sond like bit dangerous. Riding on footpaths here in Aus,
Nice Prusa!
Love them
@@Duf You getting a Prusa XL?
hey Duff, I'm riding in Manhattan. speed, but also acceleration are both very important. does it get those top speeds near instantaneously or do you have to let it ramp up and in ideal conditions (non existent in NYC)
It accelerates pretty quickly but to be totally honest, I would not trust a Minipro on NYC streets. It's too easy to accidentally bump the steering arm and send yourself flying.
@@Duf hey, i appreciate that. so just to be clear - you noticed no changes to the acceleration after the update?
i've been on my minipro for almost 5 years (wow that went by fast). the last 3 in manhattan w/out a single incident (daily rider). the crappy roads really takes a toll on the range/battery/body. mine's beat to hell. but i find it to be the steadiest means to get around - better than a bike, running, a scooter. i really just need it to go 3+ mph more and not do the dang pushback nonsense! tia
@@crieverytim Oh wow good for you! When you hit the higher speed limit it still does tilt you back for sure. Being in NYC I am surprised you didn't catch on with the EUC wave up there.
@@Duf last year i had been looking at a gotway monster or a onewheel. if i had health insurance, maybe i'd have taken on the additional risks! manhattan is not a very forgiving place to learn via trial and error ;).
for me, the minipro makes plenty of sense: extra stability, zero degree turns make it easy to get around traffic/pedestrians, easy forward/backward. can eat a slice and hold the box at the same time. use my phone. no remote controller. Also, I'm 200lb and I've been able to carry significant (50+ lbs) amount of laundry/groceries/stuff w mine. just need to be mindful of just how much you are demanding from the unit (like, keeping speed down and not jumping curbs etc).
Really, I just need a bump in the max speed and veto most of that push back. range is also an issue but i got my bicycle for that. This update seems like it might be the ticket! thanks for the video and the replies - appreciated and subbed!
@@crieverytim Ok bud stay safe up there. I can tell you as someone that started on a Minipro and migrated to EUCs, once you get through the learning curve an EUC is a whole new (better)world. The only thing it can't do that a Minipro can is stay on the vehicle at a stop and turn a 360 with ease. The speed and range comes with additional danger for sure which is why full safety gear is worn by many NYC riders.
I have the same one my question is is the control bar it leans more to the right and not centered how do I fix that
The mounting screws down low can become loose and require retightening.
where and how do i get the larger tires? do i need a new rim or motor?
No just fenders
Your cool man.!
So are you!
Which Scorpion model helmet is that? Does it feel heavy?
It is the EXO (link in most of my video descriptions) Yes, it feels heavy.
I have the NineBot Kart pros... Do you know of any way of making them 30+ ?
I do not, that doesn't mean it can't be done.
How may miles do you have on those things?
This one has somewhere around 400-500 miles I believe.
Heyyy duf what tires r those I really want to get those could u show me the link?
I have a video about the tires, search Monster on my channel
I have a mini pro , if the hack worked can I attach it to my go kart and will the go kart go faster
I can't say for sure but it makes sense it would work.
Will this work with my Segway Ninebot S Plus?
I do not know, if I were you I would check on More4Mini website.
What board did you buy. Or do u have a link
It's in the video description
I just got a mini pro. This has been my biggest issue. I love going in between trees and blast around my yard but I can’t go fast enough
If speed is your thing, Minipro is not ideal, even with the upgrade.
Can you send the link of online store to buy it. Thanks
Sorry it's an old video
Worth the $70 upgrade on the newer S models? I think its over bluetooth now. Funny, I just bought one to carry my plane, and maybe play golf. They wont let me ride my mten on the golf course, too dangerous. You know, cuz old men in heavy carts and beers is safer.When looking for mods, of course I find: Duf has done it. I hadnt intended on buying tires too. 12-14mph is a good speed to play along the mtens and OW's it seems. Just looking for the long term opinion. I've ridden one before, so tis nothing but a thing. $500 for the basic model nowadays. Not as much sticker shock, after you get used to euc prices tho. Thanks for the vid, watch for overleans!
Not sure how it works with the S
@@Duf I updated the FW. Nowadays it was simply a matter of getting on watsapp with the seller and them feeding me the bluetooth update. WOrks a treat. 15mph IS quite fast on one of these little things.
@@shanesplanetshane3795 do you have any information on who you went to an how did you upgraded your Ninebot s?
@@Akira-gi6vz More4Motion. I paid for the OTA upgrade. I also installed tires, fenders, adjustable steering bar and kickstand. All came from the same store.
Having trouble getting out of training mode what to Do.
If it's brand new you normally have to put 1KM on the wheel first.
Hey Duf! is it just the speed or did also the steering sensitivity increase? thats what im looking for.
I noticed no difference in steering.
Salut je n ai pas compris comment faire pour débridée,j ai bien regarder pour le circuit imprimé enlever mais je n ai pas vue de manipulation spéciale. J ai débridée une trottinette Dualron mini les premiers version ou il faut l ouvrir en 2 et débrancher un fil. Les nouvelles c est juste dans l odo. Merci beaucoup pour votre aide
Yes I agree
I saw someone riding one of these badboys when I was riding my Airwheel s6
They work pretty well and are far easier to learn.
@@Duf yup 👍
Does it works for the mini plus?
You would need to ask More4Mini about that.
Can you help me, I have a error 25 on my model, and it won’t show battery level or connect to Bluetooth
My first guess would be the system board.
I traded the system board but it’s the same.
Charge the battery alone
where did you get oversize tires?
One of these sources - Tires - Amazon - amzn.to/2IuYYq4
www.pccmotor.com/misupobiscat.html or this www.pccmotor.com/90titetu4749.htm
Does it work on minilite??
Do not know for sure.
Are this available on Flipkart
I dont know
the unit used to be quite quick but the truncated speed is a deal breaker. its junk now - constantly pushing back. it's more dangerous. give the rider freedom to decide
just some feedback.: the two intros really clashed. loved the first one. but the NFL Sunday Night Football thing not so much
I have intros out the wazoo!
I'm sorry, I don't speak English very well and wanted to ask how fast you are going now
14 MPH
Im sure you got this question plenty of times regarding the Bluetooth pairing PIN number.
Fresh out of the box.
2. Put it together
3. I believe I used the App at some point, and had to watch about five learning videos which the app forces you to do on the ninebot s-plus. Things like step on, turn 360 degress left, the right, roll forward, etc. The app comminicated with the s-plus the entir time. Meaning a connection (via Bluetooth) must have been made to follow my progress, right?
Then, i used it at work. Crusing around, getting throttled back and beeps since I was in learning mode. Which was fast enough.
Later on, after work, i start up the app (which i didnt use at all the entire time at work) and it tells me ive unlocked the s-plus and able to select speed mode.
At some point, the app asked to pair with the device, and so I goto my android phones Bluetooth icon, search for, find the s-plus, and click it as a found Bluetooth device.
The pairing attempt this time asked for a pin. It suggested 0000 or 1234 (four digits, not six im seeing here in your video). The four digit attemps both did not pair successfully.
I then searched for help online, finding the six digit pin suggestions of six 0's (000000) that did not work.
Can I still use the s-plus without the app Yes. Just like I did at work (with most likely the speed limits resulting in the beeping and throttling behavior.
So, that brings us back to where I am.
1. Not able to successfully pair because of failed attemps due to bad PIN number (i assume) because the pairing sequence stops or fails each time (using the phones Bluetooth pairing process.
Which means, I cant successfully use the app at the same time I have the unit on.
I did try to record my trip (which it followed my trip) and when I stopped at my destination (Front door of the gym) the recording said it doesn't log trips less than or only 200 meters).
So, the app is monitoring maybe externally my movements using gps info only, and perhaps, not from the device wheel turning information, suggesting Im still not communicating with the S-plus because I really didnt pair the device successfully. So the app us merely using gps info from my phone only, and not internal sensors from the s-plus.
I'll keep trying to actually pair the s-plus using both phone Bluetooth icon, and, which I think is still the issue, having the s-plus pair with the app as well.
Seeming, their are two forms of pairing. 1. Pairing with the phone, or pairing with the phone AND app. Perhaps, all pairing needs to be done through the app, and not outside the app, using the phones Bluetooth device found process?
Hope this long trouble shoot explanation, leeds to somebody's aha moment to breakthrough to a solution.
Thanks.
I had no issue pairing to the app after the board swap so unfortunately I don't have any guidance for you. Did you try contacting more4mini?
@@Duf Paring the Segway S-Plus (hereinafter the "Device") eventually occured through the app.
Going with the idea that the Device at the time of unboxing, in fact, paired, leading to the successful taking of the tutorial videos, which needed feedback from the Device to determine if the user had performed the designated movements, I figured the pairing process must be undergone through the app, and not using the Bluetooth icon, find device, pair protocol.
I was correct. Simply start, or restart the app, then let the app find, and then pair with the Device.
Then the Device and/or app/phone make a positive tone indicating successful connection between the two.
Honestly, I dont see much use in the app other than the basics like firmware. Lights, etc.
I did about 3.5 miles this morning in sport mode.
And yes, the speed was fast enough for this Device and style of ride it offers.
I have many years of previous InLine skate experience. So the control, acceleration, environmental awarness instincts have and will continue to enhance my enjoyment of the Segway Ninebot s-plus.
So, back to the pairing issue now resolved.
Solution, is to connect/pair through or using the app.
If you lose the connection, the app seems to cant gind the Device at times. Just exit the App and start it again, and the connection will take place, actually automatically in an "autoconnect" manner with the Device.
It kinda reminds me of like a BAC mono
No not really
Is posible in ninebot s black?
Don't know.
Hi I really need help so I rlly could use a clear video to increase my Segway speed
They will never be very fast
Does anyone know if this works with the pro max
I do not know.
So it's like you got the go kart add on but without the go kart for an 8th of the price.
Yes and that go kart accessory looks like the most impractical thing, ever.
@@Duf unless you have a go kart track!
Speed unlock from more4mini Via their new service no need to but a new circuit board in now 10mins and its done. We have seen 14 mph it beeps at 14.5 And even on 20% battery you are still are able to go 10 mph with no problems excellent upgrade, my daughter gets about 18 miles with 20% left she could probably get 20 miles if we went down to 10%.
she is 10 years old.
next upgrade will be hybrid tires.👍
thanks duff
I have a short video of her riding it and what she thinks

@@Razarusmbavachakwera The managment system in a MiniPro considers that a dead battery. Consider searching CZcams for videos on how to revive a dead MiniPro battery. I think Segway calls this waking the battery from a dormant cycle. Yikes...
Has anyone installed swallowbot on the S-Plus ?
Not that I am aware of, doesn't mean it hasn't happened
@@Duf I bought a s plus last year from a legit seller on eBay that buys and resales Amazon returns. I wound up with a s plus that is locked because the unknown previous owner never did unbind it so I have a honking beeping hot mess of a ride and I need to find away to get it rideable again. (Unbound)
I thought this would do the trick for me but they now say the s plus has several different varieties so they discontinued this setup for the S plus.
I thought it was much easier to unscrew the system board and detach and then remove the cables.
I followed the instructions on the More4mini site.
@@Duf Yeah, I tried to follow their video but it was so hard to reach the clip to detach the cable so I gave up and just removed the board first. :)
Good you did turn it upside down because that is reset

Yep if you are a speed demon the Minipro will frustrate you.
@@Duf nothing I can do?it throws me off ballance when it constantly breaks
too much bla bla, minimum useful information. GOSH where all these "video experts" come from? any previous education???
I know what you mean. They will let anyone make CZcams videos nowadays, ridiculous!
the only thing worse is the professional critics and gatekeepers!
why dont you do a channel educating ppl! ofc, simply whining is a lot easier
I have the mini pro. I hate the speed limit and the Tilt back. 3 miles an hour quicker is not worth $100. The video is terrible. You need to zoom in and show the actual different components otherwise it's a total waste of time
3 miles an hour on an 11mph device is significant but if you don't feel that way, don't spend the money.
yea my dad gave me his cause he kept falling down and now mine wont shut off after turning it on. cant stand how it does that like this other guy said its more dangerous when it does that so yea the mini pro sucks and 3 miles in my opinion is not worth it. 20 mile an hour would be
I really dont think it would be safe at 20mph because it's too easy to accidentally bump the steering knee bar.
