Love mine! I've gone over 200 miles, and it's really a great little transporter. TONS of compliments! I use it to get groceries at Walmart, and it has shortened my shopping time significantly! It's just FUN to ride around and go places with, and I've never had an issue with it. Money well spent!
I bought two. Downgraded both to firmware 1.1.7 based on comments in a user forum I found. Over three weeks I've got over 125 miles logged. These devices are amazing. In my community (Oklahoma City, OK, USA) the ADA act and matching federal funding has improved all sidewalks and street crossings with ADA compliant ramps and street crossing buttons. I can go almost anywhere and stay on the sidewalk. 13 miles, up and down hills, across major streets without ever stepping off the MiniPro. After the first few miles riding the MiniPro it becomes intuitive and I truly do not even think about maneuvering the device. It was easier to learn to ride this than to ride a bike. As long as riders are conscientious of pedestrians and don't create a negative perception by tricking, or speeding around when pedestrians are present this device will become the new urban standard for commuting.
Just ordered from Amazon for Tuesday delivery. I hope it is as good as the reviews say. I don't walking, so I don't get out and about as much as I would like.
How dose it compare to the last generation full size segway? Everyone is comparing this to a overboard but some of us have been riding a full size i2 for a very long time and the cost of replacing batteries has become too much. Never rode a hoverboard and this is a scaled down model of the i2 or at least look like it. Will it preform like it? Lost weight capasity of 25 lbs but besides needing to own a smart phone I do not see much diffferance beyonde range being shorter.
What would happen if you bring the little turn thing In between your legs higher up so like in between your thighs? Wouldn't that make it easier to turn?
Hi. I know so many people mistakenly think Segways are another "hooverboard" but they are not. They are the original "Personal Transporters". They came into being many, many years before 'hooverboards' came into existence. Personal Transporters.
Yeah, but this new product from Segway doesn't predate the "hoverboards". Also, this uses an internal gyro stabilization system where the hoverboards do not. Also, this is from the Segway company which was bought out by a Chinese company. So who knows where the QA will go.
+Carlos T they contributed to Segway's demise I believe with thier own mini.. this is a great product. let's hope Segway's stay that way but with more "affordable" offerings like the Minipro. :)
Great cam shots. It's a miniature of the Segway PT, or specifically the Segway i2 (which I own), hence the lean-steer technology modified for the knees. So it's not a hoverboard, but if that's what makes it sell and get popular, cool.
Love my miniPro like everyone else here!! San Francisco bikes lanes and back streets is where you'll find me....just passed my Mustang Gt in mileage this last six months as its just a better way to get around this city.
I have one and love mine. Very easy to learn and lots of fun for the whole family and the safety features are great Segway did a great job making this, I highly recommend it!
I'm glad you're aware of the fire hazards of older models Jared. I was worried when I heard many of them had been recalled as I knew you owned a hoverboard. Was your red one from one of the lines that was recalled? Did you have to throw it away? D: Glad you found a new one anyway!
Pretty sure they retail listed 1299$USD but on the amazon link in description you can get them for 999$USD (300 off ) Idk if they're worth it but definitely cool!
Segway invented the tech. that the "hover boards" use. This is way better than the "hover boards" because this is the real thing, made by the company that invented the technology. Calling it a hover board is an insult. It's a personal Segway.
Quieromuchachas yeah, i tried first models of segway selfbalancing vehicle in early begining of 2000s. The cost of standard segway was astronomic - about $ 6'000 - 10'000.
This thing is 10x better if you order the handlebars for it you can get it off there site. I have a video using the handlebars once I added them never went back to the knee staring, works like a charm :) They cost an extra 185$ but be sure to get the one with the kick stand.
The main pro I can see from this is the fact that the base is one piece... on normal hoverboard if you turn on of the sides slightly at speed your coming off, no negotiating your eating pavement...
in germany i don't see anyone with this board...maybe it does not come above the big ocean :D but it looks like fun. great Video jared. you filmed it in your dads room :D
I dont like the tit back safety feature on this thing very dangerous to use it on bike lane. sometime you try to keep up with same speed as the bikers and than it just kick in and try to make you not slow down but try to come to an almost stop and than you can start moving again that is very dangerous I think.
The main problem is, all these standart hoverboards are way to WEAK and underpowered (not in speed, but in torque), they have two 300 watt engines which are weak and get completely stuck when you try to ride into a field, or over grass like you did in this vid. How many watts does the engines of this Segway have? This Segway drives PERFECTLY over grass, stones, etc. without any torque problems.
If this were released before the hoverboard, this would have gained more traction (no pun intended) in the market. The hoverboard dimishes the marketability of ninebot's product. The negative experiences, press, and association with the hoverboard is what has kept me from buying this, even at the Amazon Prime Deal day price of $700.

"Turning does not feel like NASA..."
Thumbs UP for Ellie's honest review. ♥
I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.
Awesome Brady you'll absolutely LOVE it!!!!❤️
Can you ask them to use gel foot pads? As you probably figured out by now, standing on them for a half hour, or sometimes less, can be pretty painful!
Just ordered from Amazon for Tuesday delivery. I hope it is as good as the reviews say. I don't walking, so I don't get out and about as much as I would like.
So Ron, 2-years on, happy with purchase? I’m getting mine July 2019.
How dose it compare to the last generation full size segway?

I have a question which is how you lock it when you go away? Because we can’t carry it everywhere and all the time.
How much do you guys make on RUclips? Can you do a video on it? Like how you started and what not. I'm really interested in starting RUclips.
What do they retail at? Are these released in UK yet?
Do you have to be connected to blue tooth every time you ride it?
Which company segway is best please tell me sir
What would happen if you bring the little turn thing In between your legs higher up so like in between your thighs? Wouldn't that make it easier to turn?
I hear that it doesn't charge properly is that true before I purchase one
cutest baby ever!!!! and good to see someone go off flat pavement and show going over the grass and rocks... nice vid
I love that you got to do this and ride it before someone else stole your idea like they did last time.
is it the same with the xiaomi one?
where do you put the gas?
jared where did you get it at
I nominated you guys for streamy awards along with daily bumps and Cullen and katie
How much did you get paid
I have this and it's amazing for offroading
still using it?
Same
I have a black mini pro
Is it Bluetooth?
Does it catch on fire
THE_THIN_BOSS
No. It has a temp monitor also to make sure battery isn't over stressed.
The foot place is soft right

+Feint thier the company who crashed Segway and then eventually bought them out. so far QA is great, and Segway is still based in WA, USA.
+Carlos T they contributed to Segway's demise I believe with thier own mini.. this is a great product. let's hope Segway's stay that way but with more "affordable" offerings like the Minipro. :)
Onde você comprou?
How much for this model?
Great cam shots.
It's a miniature of the Segway PT, or specifically the Segway i2 (which I own), hence the lean-steer technology modified for the knees. So it's not a hoverboard, but if that's what makes it sell and get popular, cool.

Oh, and drop the air in the tires down to about 25psi (if your maybe 190 try 35psi).
I have one and love mine. Very easy to learn and lots of fun for the whole family and the safety features are great Segway did a great job making this, I highly recommend it!

What's the weight compacity
Segway invented the tech. that the "hover boards" use. This is way better than the "hover boards" because this is the real thing, made by the company that invented the technology. Calling it a hover board is an insult. It's a personal Segway.

Kamen’s brilliant invention changes the game for us mobility-challenged...
Did u toss the segway
I agree with you Jared
Wat is the app
jared,, how muçh it çost ?
Manuel Novas 599.00 right now
Lemony Snicket so calling it a stupid hoverboard.lolol
There is not in a 10 inches wheels version ¡¡
This thing is 10x better if you order the handlebars for it you can get it off there site. I have a video using the handlebars once I added them never went back to the knee staring, works like a charm :)
They cost an extra 185$ but be sure to get the one with the kick stand.
at that point get a bike instead🤦🏽♂️
This looks so sick
kha sa milaga hoverboard
Halo Board is the best hoverboard you can get! Segway is actually going out of business lol
Whoever thought they should be called "hoverboards" is severely mistaken.
Casey niestat
He's the guy
melted cheetah
I can understand calling the swegway a hoverboard but not a segway or mini one
The public is naive when it comes to products and the name hoverboard just stuck. He is using name for educational purposes.
I Got one yesterday
4:32 It feels like your running at an incredible rate Harry. LOL
The main pro I can see from this is the fact that the base is one piece... on normal hoverboard if you turn on of the sides slightly at speed your coming off, no negotiating your eating pavement...
4:11 "Pneumatic" is the word you're struggling (and failing) to think of. Or "actually tyres with rubber and air in them" as you put it! 😝
Great video!
Would you the ninebot Street 260, testing?😉 Thanks
U should go live sometime
on 1:49 i cant belive he threw the hiverboarf like its a rubbish picture
in germany i don't see anyone with this board...maybe it does not come above the big ocean :D but it looks like fun. great Video jared. you filmed it in your dads room :D
das kommt davon, dass es hier leider verboten ist :(
+Nina Klapper Ich habs hier schon gesehen
+Lina B. ach wie cool. das würde ich auch mal gerne ausprobieren
You have it on German Amazon for sale.. :)

Weird question.... how old is Jared?

Isn't that thing phone control
Hey Jared just wanted to say I love watching your vlogs and vids I love you and your family !
Thanks man
Does anyone have a link for a uk version that i can buy
is so good
I really think everyone on youtube starts their stand-up pieces with "What's up, everyone?"
Stop at 0:00
that's so cool
so so cool like how it comes to u
I know Jared won't see this but will you do a tutorial on this is home on guitar
Ashley_Swet gucshkceifejodgjydekzt
It looks so great!!!
The only good thing about this is the distance and anti theft feature.
I have two one for my sister and one for me
Could I walk my dog while riding this?
A friend of mine has one and does agility with it..
If you want to kill your dog then do it .
@@huyget I do it everynight and he loves it
Cool thanks
Jared you're the best! love watching your videos, greetings from Peru c:
The wheel aren't filled with air... if they sent you this to test, perhaps you'd at least read the specs...
Hey my mistake, it's another model that has the wheels with no air.
I dont like the tit back safety feature on this thing very dangerous to use it on bike lane. sometime you try to keep up with same speed as the bikers and than it just kick in and try to make you not slow down but try to come to an almost stop and than you can start moving again that is very dangerous I think.
Great video, Jared! This video makes me want one of these so bad!
thnks man for sharing :)
nice vid Jared. When you gonna livestream?
you can get them from best buy in the store now or order it on Amazon, both places now for $599.00
Hi jared
My friend has one and it is great we even go off roading with them great Segway
The main problem is, all these standart hoverboards are way to WEAK and underpowered (not in speed, but in torque), they have two 300 watt engines which are weak and get completely stuck when you try to ride into a field, or over grass like you did in this vid. How many watts does the engines of this Segway have? This Segway drives PERFECTLY over grass, stones, etc. without any torque problems.
I don’t like it being called
a hoverboard but nice review‼️
If this were released before the hoverboard, this would have gained more traction (no pun intended) in the market. The hoverboard dimishes the marketability of ninebot's product. The negative experiences, press, and association with the hoverboard is what has kept me from buying this, even at the Amazon Prime Deal day price of $700.
Hi
omg great video now i want one!
My friend Emily has this its so much easier
A bit more different though
thats cool
that moment you realise Itz not a seat on da hoverboard.......
