Why it's better not to

You should not be in a hurry to remove the limit. If this is your first gyro scooter and there is no experience at all, you should learn to ride at a low speed. Xiaomi often limits the speed of its gyro scooters to 4-5 km/h.

Developers set time limits, which are removed automatically when the owner gained experience.

For beginners the most acceptable option, without experience with electric transport can fall and get injured. Especially it is not worth the risk if the gyroboard is purchased for a child.

How to remove the speed limit from a gyro scooter

In general, Ninebot gyroscooters from the Chinese company Xiaomi accelerate up to a maximum of 20 kilometers per hour. Quite a decent speed, allowing you to enjoy a walk on a gyroboard. But there are users who find this speed insufficient, and want the device to go even faster.

To accomplish the task, you will need to reflash the device. It is necessary to remember that any actions that change the software entails the loss of warranty service. Also unforeseen breakdowns may occur. Before you decide to reflash the device, you should consider that it can lead to negative consequences.

The flashing is done with a simple procedure. You need to roll the system back to version 1.1.7. If your gyroboard has firmware version 1.3.1, you can't roll it back.

It should be noted that you can only connect from an Android phone.

To find out the firmware version, do the following

Turn on Bluetooth.
Open the "Ninebot mini" application designed for Xiaomi gyroscooters.
Click on the menu in the upper right corner.
In the window that opens, select "Basic Information" and then "FirmWare Version". The OS version will be displayed here.

Make sure your gyroscope is turned on and fully loaded. To reset the firmware, perform the following steps:

Download Ninebot app version 3.0. If a newer version is installed, you will need to uninstall it.
To work in the application, you need to turn on Wi-Fi and change the IP address to static in the settings. To do this, in the fields "DNS 1" and "DNS 2" you must enter the address - 107.170.15.247.
An update to version 1.4.0 (at the time of writing), which is identical to version 1.1.7, is available.
Pressing the "Sure" button will update the system and the device will reboot.

It is important to remember that the Wi-Fi settings must be restored to their previous values, so that the system does not automatically update to a newer version.
