My 1000 KM Run Experience on Segway E100 and Ownership Review 2023

These are My Top 10 1000 KM Run Experience on Segway E100 and Ownership Review 2023:

Suspension of Segway Ninebot E100 was good on slight off road or gravel road or road that are under construction with pot holes and unlabeled surfaces.
My riding styles were comfortable due to its anti-skid tyres.
I loved the braking system too with dual disc on both wheels.
I loved the keyless start and lock features which I am doing it with Bluetooth controlled mobile application. There are so much functionality that you can control with the mobile application. You can download it and use on both iOS and Android Smartphones.
Its battery is portable, you can unplug from scooter and plug it anywhere you go on an emergency purpose. But according to technician from service center, it is not recommended. Its better to charge the scooter normally with inbuilt battery inside it. It protects the battery from over voltage and from burning of the battery terminal.
Segway E100 has seat sensor too. Its a handy and useful feature but I did not feel comfortable with this feature and I had to turn it off via the SEGWAY Mobile Application. One user = one app connectivity. So, I loved this security as well. You can share the supplementary access to your near and dear with WeChat codes but I have not tried it yet.
The time: I am still unable to change the clock or time to Nepali Time. Hope, with the update on application’s firmware, this thing can be customized in coming days.
In the beginning, after the scooter is charged up-to 100% and while I tried to start riding, the display shuts down automatically. I try to turn on the scooter with both mobile application or with the remote control, it won’t start. After few attempts, I manage to open the seat or boot space and with the help of it I unplug the battery cables and re-plug in it, this this solved and I could turn on the scooter again. I faced such an issue three times. After my first service, now I do not face such problem.
The charger tries to charge the battery even the scooter is charged to full 100%. I feel that it should have auto cut-off feature or something so that it could protect both charger and battery from over charge.
I hear un-pleasant sounds from the suspensions while I ride on the streets like they are getting old or something. Well, I will present those new minor issues while I go for another servicing. Hope, these will be solved as well.

Cars are the second most popular means of private transportation after motorbike in our country Nepal. Most people generally try for their car license after their motorbike and the format is similar overall. Here, the Car license trial also has two phases i.e. written and trail. The written test is fairly easy but only some people successfully complete their trial phase as well. Recently, the government has also changed the rules for Car license in the country and many people are not aware of this change. In this article, we will discuss about the current car trial system in the country and how to successfully clear one.

Steps to Pass Car Trial in Nepal:

Similar with the motorbike trial, there are also seven parts in the car trial system and the marks are allocated accordingly. Also, you have to accumulate similar passing marks i.e. 70 points to successfully get your car license in our country Nepal.

1. Round 8 – 20 marks

The first category to clear for our car license is the Round 8 which consists of 20 marks in total. This test is relatively simple in a car than in a motorbike and the rules are similar with a few adjustments here and there. Here, the main goal is to clear one and half round of the figure 8 without touching or knocking any marked lines or cones. 5 marks will be deducted each time the vehicle touches the line twice or knocks the cones twice. Any applicant that knocks or crosses the line more than twice is immediately disqualified. Similarly, the Applicants are also disqualified:

If the applicants fail to make an eight
Also, if the applicants doesn’t enter from the right side
If the vehicle is pushed backwards.

2. Speed Breakers/Bumps – 15 marks

Speed breakers relatively easy step in the car trial examination and people are rarely disqualified through it. The condition for completion is to drive the car though it without the engine stopping. Here, 5 marks is deducted if the engine stops once and the applicant is disqualified if it stops more than once.

3. U – turn – 10 marks

The U – turn is another simple task in the car trial and it only requires users to turn-on their right indicator and progress further. Applicants can acquire negative 10 marks if they forget to turn-on their indicators and are disqualified if they touch Yellow lines marked on either side.

4. Traffic Lights – 15 marks

Traffic lights are one of the most confusing phases in the car trial. And, it is advised that you go slowly to avoid any kinds of mistakes.

Everyone knows about the basic procedures to apply for a driving license in our country Nepal. The test generally includes two phases i.e. written and trial. Here, the majority of the applicants conquer the written phase with flying colors but fall on their face when it comes to the trial phase. In other words, the pressure is high and the confidence of riders tank when they see 6-7 traffic officers watching over them.

Recently, the government of Nepal has implemented a new marking system to reduce the number of failed applicants in the trial. Similarly, the rules are simpler and the examiners even more understanding. All in all, this is the perfect time to get your motorbike driving license made and some steps are listed below to achieve just that.

Steps to Pass Motorcycle Trial in Nepal:

The trial phase of Motorbike in Nepal has been divided into seven aspects where the examiners will judge your performance and provide marks for it. Similarly, the minimum marks required for the passing is 70 points for both motorcycle and scooters. Here, we have listed the steps according to those aspects for better understanding and higher success rates.

6. Ramp – 20 marks

Ramp is the final stage for riders to complete their driving license test. Here, riders have to drive up the slope and stop between the yellow markings. Also, you can only touch either of your feet on the ground to stop on the slope not both. Next, go upwards the slope again and stop between the Yellow lines again in the downhill section of the slope. Once again, we can only use one foot to stop the vehicle and move forward on the signal of the examiner. Finally, this should officially provide you with you Motorbike driving license. Similarly, you are disqualified on the spot if you fail to follow any of the above mentioned steps. Here, scooter riders are allowed to place both of their feet’s on the ground during this stage.

7. Behavioral Aspects – 10 marks

In the behavioral aspects, the examiner checks your carefulness and discipline during your trial exams. It carries 10 marks and you are required to check the conditions of your mirrors, tires, and brakes. There are no disqualifications but the reduction of marks can be done accordingly.
