Ninebot unveils new tech aimed at improving riders' experience

Chinese two-wheeler maker Ninebot has rolled out two new technologies for electric mopeds, reinforcing domestic industry players' technological acumen in vehicle-control systems and multi-vehicle coordination.

Through self-developed dynamic balance algorithms and vehicle-control systems, the Mole Self-Balancing 2.0 can adjust the vehicle's posture in a rather short control window, according to the company.

"In daily use, such technology could help address unstable low-speed riding and turning, temporary stops and vehicle positioning in narrow spaces for new riders, therefore lowering the learning threshold," a Ninebot technical executive said.

"For commuters, it could also reduce the need to repeatedly put a foot down or manually steady the vehicle in congested traffic or at traffic lights," he added.

Meanwhile, by integrating with unmanned driving and remote-control capabilities, this technology is expected to expand into smart scenarios such as self-driving summon and auto parking in the future, the executive said.

Beyond balance-control technology, the company also introduced a new lighting control system. Allowing multiple mopeds to receive instructions and flash warning lights in the same rhythm, the synchronized hazard-light system is expected to be applied in vehicle-to-vehicle coordination in future fleet riding and connected mobility services, the company said.
