Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company Ninebot has released a series of teaser posters that point to the launch of an unnamed product on December 17. The posters leave incoherent clues as to what the product is but from the Weibo countdown, it looks like the product is a car!

We can’t say what type of car this is but since Ninebot is known for its self-balancing electric scooter, it is possible this is an electric car. However, we don’t think this is a big electric car, it is likely a toy car. We’ll have to wait until the launch to find out what it is exactly. In another light, the product could also be an electric bike (eBike).

Xiaomi is popular in and outside China for several reasons apart from its affordable premium smartphones. The company boast of a retinue of cool gadgets ranging from smart home products, IoTs, electric scooters and several others. The Segway-inspired Ninebot self-balancing scooter is one of its most popular products due to its affordability and sleek design. It even has a GoKart kit to convert the scooter to a racing Gokart. Xiaomi has a substantial sake in Ninebot which helped the latter acquire American self-balancing scooter manufacturer, Segway back in April 2015. Although Ninebot is an independent brand, the new product will likely be sold leveraging on Xiaomi’s widespread reach.
