Ninebot has unveiled a new product will be put up on crowdfunding from November 1st to November 30th on Taobao. The product is dubbed Ninebot Self-balancing Scooter Mecha Kit M1. The kit carries a price tag of 1399 yuan ($208) but with the self-balancing scooter, the price is 2498 yuan ($372).
This is the second product Ninebot is spinning from its self-balancing scooter, the first being the Gokart. The product is themed after Mecha, a genre of Japanese manga and anime that heavily features or focuses on mechanical innovation. Robots, cyborgs, androids, and space stations, for example, all fall under the wide umbrella of mecha; however, robots are usually the primary focus.
The Ninebot Self-balancing Scooter Mecha M1 Kit adopts a unique handle control design which requires a forward push to move forward and a backward pull to move backwards. When turning, the left and right handles control each side wheel separately, which can realize in-situ rotation and flexible tail swing.
The kit is integrated with the self-balancing scooter which propels it. It is also equipped with a water bomb launcher, which supports burst and strafing. The official said this function is suitable for people over 14 years of age.
The kit adopts a buckle with screw quick release design which can be assembled in five minutes. It can also be connected to the Ninebot app and experience remote control gameplay.
