1.1 Incompatibility issues in newer Ninebot scooters

New models of Ninebot electric scooters have introduced changes that may disappoint DIY enthusiasts. The manufacturer has limited the ability to upgrade with additional batteries, which blocks increases in range, power or speed. The result? Users are doomed to the factory specs – shorter range on a single charge and no chance to customise the equipment. For those who treat the scooter as more than just a means of transport, this is quite a handicap.

1.2 How does the controller solve this problem?

An unlocked controller restores full control of the scooter. It allows you to plug in an extra battery, significantly increasing the range, as well as adjusting key settings – from motor power to maximum speed to recuperative braking power. This solution opens the door to modifications that have been locked out of the factory on new models. At CityLion.co.uk, we offer a controller that not only works flawlessly, but is also fully compatible with selected Ninebot models.

1.3 Is it worth upgrading your scooter?

Upgrading your scooter is an investment that pays for itself quickly. Less frequent charging means less downtime and lower electricity bills. For those who travel long distances – to work, on trips or simply for pleasure – a longer range is pure convenience. By choosing a controller from CityLion.pl, you are assured of a long-lasting and safe modification, without the risk of breakdowns resulting from cheap replacements available elsewhere.

2. scooter models that require a replacement controller

Not every Ninebot scooter needs a new controller. To check this, follow the instructions below:

• • Download the ScooterHacking Utilityapp for your Android device from the Play shop: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sh.cfw.utility or from the official website: https://utility.cfw.sh/
  • Open the app and connect to the scooter. Some scooters require you to press the on/off button for authorisation.
  • If the message “Restricted DRV/BLE firmware detected” appears, click “YES” or next to close the message.
  • Under the “FLASH” tab, select “INSTALL/UPDATE SHFW.”
  • A grey message will appear with the name of the software, matched to your scooter (e.g. “Regular-Base170-v3.9.1”), select it.
  • Click “START FLASH.”
  • After about 30 seconds, the application will finish uploading the modified software.
    • If a message is shown: “Flashing failed, Reason: Data format error” you can still try “ATTEMP DRV DOWNGRADE”.
    • Click “YES”
    • If the process is successful, select “INSTALL/UPDATE SHFW” again and “START FLASH”.
    • After about 30 seconds, the application will finish uploading the modified software.

  If the process was successful – congratulations! Your scooter does not need to replace the display and is now ready for use with an additional battery. Simply plug it in to enjoy more range. However, if you get a notification of a blocked DRV or BLE, you will need to replace the controller.
