Seems like the lowest price for this E scooter.

Very good reviews as well

Thanks @fantoo for confirming code is generic

        It's still big in the middle of the product page and also have a screenshot:
        https://www.wheelygoes.com.au/collections/segway/products/ni….

        I'm just giving them some time for a response till end of the day as they might just be busy or something. If not I'll just have to try the charge back. Never done it before though.

        Thanks for the tip.

          yeah it's clear as day in writing, thus a consumer gurantee was made, so if they breach it, you have the right to a refund

    • cocojumbo on 20/11/2019 - 15:31

      So the chat support said: "Unfortunately, orders can’t be cancelled after it has been placed.".

      Is this even possible with no refunds policy or terms & conditions on their site?

      • Livert on 20/11/2019 - 19:31

        That's ridiculous. If you haven't received the product, you are entitled to a refund.

        • cocojumbo on 21/11/2019 - 09:47

          i know right? I've checked their FB reviews and one guy who gave 1 star tried contacting them about a refund when they still had their T&C's up and refund within 30 days. They said no refund at all. Never got resolved and they don't answer anymore and I think it's also the reason they removed their T&C's and refund policy.

            @cocojumbo: I think it's time to let them know the ACCC will be getting an email soon if they do not process your refund.

    • PreSsieGuY on 20/11/2019 - 19:41

      does your credit card have price protection? perhaps put in claim with your bank
      :D

      • cocojumbo on 21/11/2019 - 09:51

        Yeah, will contact the bank now and see what they can do.

    I knew I'd been saving up those Altitude reward points I got as a bonus for signing up with these credit cards. Cost me $28 all up! Couldn't be happier with this deal!!!

    • eggboi on 20/11/2019 - 13:33

      nice to think of it as only costing you $28, but you forgot to factor in opportunity cost ;)

    Do you get sore legs/feet after long rides?

    • sasangeleus on 20/11/2019 - 15:10

      I too would like to know this. I'm looking at a 12km each way trip

      • cocojumbo on 20/11/2019 - 15:32
        +1

        I had an electric skateboard and you definitely do after a few Ks. Mine does around 20-30 min in. But I guess it depends on your fitness level and weight.

      • eggboi on 20/11/2019 - 17:04
        +1

        i've only had leg fatigue after long rides on bumpy paths. if most of your commute is smooth bikeway, you'll be fine. The other good thing is if you're riding this thing daily, the leg fatigue will eventually disappear as your body builds muscle to reinforce the exercised areas. Scooting is also a hell of a lot of fun haha. Instead of getting stressed out at other drivers in peak hour traffic, you actually look forward to your commute (except if the weather is foul, in which case you can drive that day)

      • doowhydiddi on 21/11/2019 - 13:19

        I did get a sore leg after using it (the rear placed leg) at the start but after using it regularly that was reduced after fitness was built up.

    Just checked it out in person on jb. Jeez its heavy af. Not portable at all. Might get xiaomi one instead despite the very cheap price.

    • bigrizz on 20/11/2019 - 22:41

      I'm actually glad it's big. Hoping it'll suit my 192cm height and size 13 feet. Bought one.

      • Ch Rs on 20/11/2019 - 22:54

        Surely suit you without any problem! Grats with the new scooter. Im eyeing zero 8 now haha

        • systmworks on 20/11/2019 - 23:11

          The Zero 8 feels like the original Xiaomi M365 had a love child with a Monster Truck.

          In a good way.
          And it folds down so tiny..

          https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=162&topicid=24…

          My suggestion is watch a heap of YouTube videos on the Zero 8/9 & Ninebot Max & M365 Pro.

          • richmond12 on 21/11/2019 - 08:21

            @systmworks: Yeh i like the zero 8/9, whats the real world range on these?

            • systmworks on 21/11/2019 - 08:34

              @richmond12: Mine only arrived 2 days ago - best to watch some YouTube reviews.

              Rule of thumb (for all brands) is 30% less than what the manufacturer claims.

              My smaller 10AH model is rated for 35 KM so I'd expect around 25 KM - so should easily do my entire weeks commute.

              If you travel more than 5km/day consider the 13AH battery.

              • richmond12 on 21/11/2019 - 08:57

                @systmworks: Thanks

                Dam i also thinking of this or max

                Zero 9 would be great if on special again

                • systmworks on 21/11/2019 - 09:21
                  +2

                  @richmond12: Those lucky to score the Zero 9 for under $1,000 on Singles Day got a great deal - 600 watt rear motor obliterates the Ninebot Max/M365 Pro.

                  But for less than $850 delivered (using 5% off code), the almost identical Zero 8 (500w rear motor) is still a great price for a next-level scooter.

                  I just had my first ride to work, and the ride was smooth, quiet, and it powered up over the Goodwill bridge like it was flat.

                  The Ninebot ES2 and the Ninebot Max are quite different, but last night I took some side by side photos of my new Zero 8 beside my 1yr old Ninebot ES2 - https://imgur.com/a/XPVqTNc
                  Also, Zero 8 vs Ninebot ES2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZemLhvNv-8

                    @systmworks: Thanks for the pics. The deck on the zero 8 looks quite short. I doubt I'd have room for both feet with my size 13s. How do you find your feet positioning?

                    • systmworks on 21/11/2019 - 11:11

                      @bigrizz: I didnt notice an issue with my size 11 boots, but last night I did order the metal carry handle that goes over the rear mudguard - can be used as a step.

                      • richmond12 on 21/11/2019 - 11:58

                        @systmworks: $850 is for the smaller battery tight?

                        One of my main concerns is range, so need the bigger battery right?

                        • systmworks on 21/11/2019 - 12:24

                          @richmond12: Correct - if you have a long commute, then big battery will be a high priority.

                          eScooters are generally considered a "last mile" commute tool, to go that short-ish distance from home to train, or train to work, or carpark to work etc.
                          However a scooter with decent range can be used as 'a bicycle replacement' for longer commutes like 10 or 15 KM.

                          The Ninebot Max was designed for the rental market (hence the massive battery, but low-mid motor power), but that also makes it great for a much longer than average commute.

                          For shorter (average length) commutes of 2-5KM the M365 Pro or more powerful Zero8 or 9 has other advantages.
                          Its a shame the M365 / Pro are front wheel drive (wheel spin when kicking up hill - which is needed with a lower power motor).

                          The Zero 8 with 13AH battery, or the Zero 9, are rated for up to 45K range, so ~30 KM should be real world figure.

    I bought one of these a week and a half ago, so when I got the JB email I was furious. Went back to the store and they manager was more than happy to refund me $200 (I paid $999 as a price match to PC Byte). My faith in JB was restored.

  • clem0ximus on 22/11/2019 - 01:45

    Just picked one up this afternoon. Bit sad it has the speed capped to 25km. I sold my cfw m365 for this and I could definitely feel the difference as I would achieve speeds of up to 32 on the 365.

    Anybody planning to modify the speed cap on theirs?

    • tanksinatra on 23/11/2019 - 07:25

      I rode past a new Ninebot Max owner and had a chat about it. First thing they told me was that the scooter was 'slow' with a hard cap at 25km/h. Unfortunately don't think there's any custom firmware on the Max.

    • Dwil06 on 23/11/2019 - 12:25

      It’s slow relative to some scooters but given the laws will likely soon stipulate a maximum speed of 25kmph I don’t think it’s all bad. And it’s still fast enough. I sure as hell cant run that fast for any decent distance.

      • systmworks on 23/11/2019 - 13:07
        +1

        Yeah 25km/h is 3x or 4x the average persons walking speed of 6-7km/h.

        I can go the 1.5km between my work and train station in 4 mins…
        Compared to a 12-15 minute walk (at 12 mins pace you work up a sweat).

    Crazy price.. Has anyone who already bought one elsewhere at a higher price had any success yet with claiming price protection on their card? I'm tempted to try, but have a feeling I will be knocked back due to it being a "coupon" price or something.

    • S3ISOR on 24/11/2019 - 06:13

      I claimed the money back on mine without any trouble - the coupon was generic too.

      • frozensolid on 24/11/2019 - 12:27

        Nice. Any tips for submitting the claim? I'm hoping screenshots of the JB HiFi website will suffice as I didn't get the email.
