When purchasing a Segway Ninebot electric scooter, whether it be brand new, refurbished or used, you have the option to ‘bind’ the scooter through the Segway E-Scooter App.
Ninebot scooters, when brand new, require activation, basically it needs to be registered through the Segway E-Scooter App first before usage. Of course, this isn’t necessary to use the scooter, but it provides great additional features through the app.
As the original owner, you can choose to keep the scooter bound to you which means you are automatically connected to it through Bluetooth to check mileage/battery estimated percentage etc.
Having your Segway Scooter binded to the app unlocks a range of great features such as switching riding modes and changing coloured lights, unlocking units, viewing mileage, and tracking speed and battery levels, the Segway-Ninebot app is invaluable for any Segway-Ninebot owner.
It’s important to note that all of these great features are still accessible even if you aren’t bound to the scooter. If you buy or borrow a scooter that is bound to someone else you can still connect to the Segway Ninebot App via Bluetooth and take advantage of all the app's capabilities.
Binding a Segway Ninebot electric scooter to the app simply gives you the ability to name it whatever you’d like AND access the app's features. But you can still connect and not bind the scooter, while still using the app to its full potential.
The great part about this is you may choose to unbind at any time. so if you own multiple e-scooters or want to sell your Segway Ninebot E-Scooter you can do so without hassle.
Should I unbind or stay bound?
It’s entirely up to you! If you don’t plan on naming the scooter then you can stay unbound, this will in no way impact the performance of your electric scooter.
If you do want to use the great features of the Segway electric scooter app then you should stay bound otherwise you won't have access to all its features (such as naming the Segway Ninebot electric scooter).
