Speed Hack (HEX Method) for Segway Ninebot Kickscooter Scooter

After finding a deal here and reading a lot of comments in a previous post, I pulled the trigger on this and thought I would share my success (IYKYK).

Speed Hack (HEX Method) for Ninebot KickScooter

  1. Use the Segway-Ninebot app to view serial number
  2. Disconnect bluetooth connection from the Segway-Ninebot app
  3. Android: download "BLE Scanner" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.macdom.ble…
    Apple: download "Bluetooth Assistant" https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bluetoothassistant/id153657959…
  4. Open Bluetooth app and search for your scooter by serial number
  5. Click to expand the "Unknown Service"
  6. Find the editable Custom Characteristic (should say "Properties: Write,…")
  7. Android: click the "W"
    Apple: click the "upload arrow" symbol
  8. Copy a code instruction (any one of the following):
    F2/F2+/F2Pro Speed Hack = 55AB463253636F6F7465725F31
    F2/F2+/F2Pro Normal = 55AB463253636F6F7465725F30
    G2 MAX Speed Hack = 55AB4D41583253636F6F7465725F31
    G2 MAX Normal = 55AB4D41583253636F6F7465725F30
  9. Android: choose text and paste code instruction then click OK
    Apple: activate "HEX", paste code instruction and check "write no response" then click OK or Write
  10. Disconnect Bluetooth app from scooter
  11. Connect to scooter using the Segway-Ninebot app
  12. Review settings - maximum speed will not dislay
  13. Test top speed (safely outdoors or prop the rear wheel up)
    Dash will show top speeds of:
    F2/F2+ = 30 km/h
    F2 Pro = 32 km/h
    G2 MAX = 35 km/h

    Nice, thanks for sharing. Some people charging $100 for this!

    • I read yours and many other helpful comments plus about someone on Gumtree charging for it. I couldn't get the Xiaodash app to work so I reset everything (serial and mode) then tried this Bluetooth way - pretty darn simple and no wonder "ChatGPT-4" said "Mr Gumtree" only took 5 minutes.

  • Ensure that once you cross the southern state border that you are faster than their mounted force!

  • Thx for the share. I tried this on a G2 MAX and it has not worked.

    Step 7: Apple: click the "upload arrow" symbol.
    There's no upload arrow on my app. I just paste the Hex code into the app and hit the WRITE button.
    The app displays that the hex code has been written.

    First attempt - I tried it I only wrote the hex code once.
    Second attempt - I wrote the hex code 3 times, because the google doc recommended trying this. But when I hit the road I am still chugging 25km.

    Note: I am using most recent iphone apps and the scooter has all most recent updates.

    I reattempted this today and it has now worked.
    When writing the hex code I repeated the step 5 times.
    Thx.

    • Thanks for sharing your experience.

      I wonder why it took 5 times… Anyone else have this experience?

      • The google doc states that the Bluetooth app has intermittent connectivity. So when you write the hex code it may not actually write successfully.
