    I just got an es2 last week and so far... no problems. I love it. I hope I don't start having issues. I bought an external battery but now I'm afraid to connect it, I've heard that's how many people start having problems with the control board. I guess I'll find out soon. Thanks for the video and I'm sorry you had so many issues with the scooter.

    Turn lights on ride up a semi steep hill. Your board will fail. Mine just did like everyone else's. You have to bridge a chip inside. You buy a new one it will eventually happen again. Shitty yes true damn Skippy!!

    This is very interesting. Mine started acting up and I can not use it with the headlight on. I think I have found a fox and will be buying a part to solder on OR perhaps bypass a surface mounted component. Still works well without the headlight on for me. I hope to do an update video soon. Really wish companies would test their equipment brutally before they start production.

    I yesterday got my external battery, error 42, apparently there is bent minus pin in the scooters port for it. And that seems to be soldered to this board. Bew board doesn't cost much, but I'm a bit hesitant to open mine up. I'm trying to get it to warranty, but since I don't have a receipt (bought 2nd hand) so not much help, because segway doesn't have support in my country except thru sellers

    I understand and totally agree that this issue should be resolved by the CS for the price it costs. However, looking at how complicated it is to resolve the issue, I would more than happily replace the use of the front light by a more powerful stroboscope style light to be simply attached on the handle, and those I've read can be pretty cheap...I also recommend to wear the yellow fluo vest at night with a USB rechargeable night light on top of it (it includes a front white light on the chest and a red light on the back which can blink if you wish so). So clearly this is not a deal breaker for me.

    Michael Maduske that's great! I don't know if you've looked into it, but you can also flash custom firmware onto the M365 to make it go as fast and have the same amount of torque at the ES2 would have with the battery! Only drawback would be lessened range due to higher draw, and possibly hotter motor. My scooter is out with a flat rear tire, but when I get to ride again I'll give results!

    I recently purchased an ES1 from someone who purchased a truckload of store-returns. Based on the app it only had 40 miles on it. It seemed to work properly except that the maximum speed is only 9 mph, no matter what mode I put it in. Also, interestingly, that maximum speed is reached at 2/3 throttle, and it slows a bit when I put the throttle at 100%. And if I set the maximum speed at, say, 6 mph (in the restricted speed mode in the app), the throttle does the same thing, slowing down at full throttle. I've communicated with the company, and they are unwilling to do a repair under the warranty. They tell me that it is probably a control board issue. They have been very responsive to emails, with a one-day turn-around. They charge $50 for round-trip shipping, $45 for labor, $75 for dashboard circuit, $30 for throttle, and $105 for the control board. So it would end up costing me $200 for control board replacement done by the company. I may just keep it as is for now.

    Brought the segway ES4 back in December problems with the control board spoke personally to the technical mechanic he said 3 things not to do with the segway ES4 scooter 1 do not keep the energy recovery level setting on strong keep always on low.... 2 never over charge the battery allow battery to go to about 30% 3 when charging plug first to scooter then into the wall outlet and is also bad if you ride down a steep hill with the battery charged at 100% and having the energy recovery settings at strong that also can damage the control board that's why the energy recovery level needs never to be set at strong.....

    Anecdotal, but my ES4’s board failed a bit over a month of owning it, and I used strong recovery, rarely dipped the battery below 60%, and the beginning of my daily morning commute is down a sizable hill where I have to ride the brakes. Meaning, I did all the things this comment says can cause the problem. Thankfully, in my case, the solution is just to not use the headlight.

    I just bought an ES4 from Ebay, and from my research online the ES4 is basically just an ES2 with extended battery. However, the ES4 that I received has "matte black" steering column ( so pretty much all black) compared to many ES2 review videos I saw are all silver (like yours). It is not an ES1 with external battery for sure because mine does have rear suspension. I am kind of confused why my ES4's color is different than others.

    Where is that button located? Also do you know what are the 3 Phase wires to Motor Blue, Green & Yellow? I'm trying to wire the ES2 Control to my 2 Phase Motor on my Currie E Zip750 but it has a Blue, Green wires aka Red, Black. Idk if I can just not connect a 3rd phase or is the big Yellow or Blue my Brake on Motor? Any info helps Thank you?

    I completely forgot to update but a few months of use i ended up with the control board issue. :( I still have the scooter today and it works as long as i don’t use the headlight. I attached an external bike light instead. Although im not sure this is safe idea to keep using the scooter with a bad control board. 😬

    I had a rattling motor, then error 10, 16, 18, 14 and eventually the display was completally off, unable to turn the scooter on. The battery charging status changed green to red constantly. A strange thing happened: I opened the handlebar and took apart the entire so called 'bluetooth dashboard', the electronical parts below the screen, so I did not touch the mother board. It turned out, that this dashboard was a little bit dirty, no wonder, I was riding the scooter in the rain prior. The worst part is that the built quality of this dashboard is just too low. Also, there is no proper rain protection, so even light rain could damage these components or loose wire connection could be caused from riding over bumps or generally shaking. I took apart the entire enterior of the handlebar, cleaned the dashboard, removed brake and throttle pedal, reattached the wires carefully and put everything back together. Rain and dirt seriously damages this part. Ever since, my scooter works again, at least for now. I do have the feeling that most of the problems actually occur in that part of the scooter and not the motherboard that was shown here. But overall the wires, plugs and electronic boards in the entire scooter are of pretty bad quality. The sealing was clearly done randomly without having proper knowledge on how to seal electronic parts. I guess most of the errors and problems of the scooter are happening by the same principle. Kind of disappointing as it's otherwise a great scooter (if it rides). Hope it could help, good luck!

    to understand what fails in these controllers and why is the key to fix that is permanent, these controllers have mofset transistors, usually because of the heat transistors short out. so its enough to replace them. Problem is you need to replace all of them not only 1. another flaw is heat radiatorr that should be on the back of these mofsets in case of this controller its a joke, not enough to take out the heat.

    Hi Michael. We wanted to add a couple of notes here that will hopefully help your viewers. For Your Safety - This repair should only be conducted by Ninebot - Segway certified repair technicians. Again this is for your safety. Performing this repair will result in an error 35. This is because your new control board has not been activated - activation can only be done by a certified repair technician. Lastly, disassembly of the scooter voids the warranty. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.

    As you can see, they make a defective scooter and they don't want you to fix it yourself, nor use any used parts from another scooter. Imagine if you couldn't fix your own car! Sorry, you can't change your car's ecu... Never buy any product that you can't get parts for!!! Apparently the battery, controlboard, motor and dashboard are coded with a serial number. Very bad!!! YOU NEED TO RECALL YOUR GARBAGE!!!! it is a big safety issue. Everyone please report this to the "U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission" People have been hurt and killed when the control board shuts off!!!

    I just bought an ES4 on Ebay, and from my research online the ES4 is basically just an ES2 with extended battery. However, the ES4 that I received has "black" steering column ( so pretty much all black) compared to many ES2 review videos I saw all are silver (like yours). It is not an ES1 with external battery for sure because mine does have rear suspension. I am kind of confused why my ES4's color is different than others.
