**Introduction to the Segway Pro Mini Pro**

The Segway Pro Mini Pro is a personal transportation device that has gained attention in recent years due to its innovative design and features. As someone who has had the opportunity to use this device, I can attest to its safety, balance, and overall user experience. In this article, I will delve into the specifics of the Segway Pro Mini Pro, its unique features, and my personal experience with it.

**Design and Features**

One of the standout features of the Segway Pro Mini Pro is its center column design. This design differs from traditional hoverboards, where users tilt their feet to steer left or right. Instead, the Segway Pro Mini Pro uses a central column that sticks out, allowing for precise steering towards specific directions. The user tilts their knees to move in these directions, making it a safer and more intuitive experience. Additionally, the device is equipped with customizable LED lights, which can be controlled via a smartphone app. This feature not only adds a touch of personalization but also allows users to monitor the device's battery level, diagnostics information, and any potential security issues.

**Safety and Balance**

One of the most significant advantages of the Segway Pro Mini Pro is its safety features. The device's design and balance system make it easier for users to maintain their center of gravity, reducing the risk of accidents or falls. As someone who has used this device, I can attest that finding your balance takes time, but once mastered, it becomes second nature. The Segway Pro Mini Pro is also more stable than traditional hoverboards, which often rely on tilting feet for steering.

**Smartphone Integration**

The Segway Pro Mini Pro connects via Bluetooth to a smartphone app called United by App, allowing users to customize their LED lights, calibrate the device, and access diagnostic information. This feature provides users with real-time data about the device's performance, ensuring that it runs smoothly and efficiently. The app also includes an anti-security alarm feature, which will notify the user if someone is attempting to tamper with or move the device without authorization.

**Personal Experience**

I have had the pleasure of using the Segway Pro Mini Pro for over a week now, and I must say that it has been an enjoyable experience. As someone who's used hoverboards before, I found the Segway Pro Mini Pro easy to use and balanced well right away. However, for those who are new to personal transportation devices, there may be a slight learning curve. The device is designed with safety in mind, but users still need to establish their center of gravity and balance.

**Limitations and Drawbacks**

While the Segway Pro Mini Pro has many advantages, there are also some limitations and drawbacks to consider. One of the biggest issues is that the device is relatively bulky and heavy, making it more difficult to carry around. The weight is estimated at 28 pounds, which is similar to a folding bike but bulkier than most skateboards or scooters. Additionally, when the battery dies, users will need to lug the device around, which can be cumbersome.

**Comparison to Other Devices**

The Segway Pro Mini Pro is priced at $1,300, which may seem steep compared to commercial Segway scooters that start at $5,000. However, considering its smaller size and weight, it offers a more compact and manageable alternative for those who want a similar experience without the hefty price tag. Other alternatives include decent folding bikes or electric scooters, which offer more versatility and practicality.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the Segway Pro Mini Pro is an innovative personal transportation device that offers a unique blend of safety, balance, and features. While it may have some limitations and drawbacks, its benefits make it an attractive option for those who want to experience the thrill of hoverboarding without the hassle.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right so you're probably wondering why are we even checking this thing out it's called the Segway mini Pro by 9.9 BOTS a company that acquired Segway back in 2014 and you probably know segways reputation for making those Segway scooters that you're used to seeing at the mall beings by mall security but the Segway mini Pro is essentially a more slimmed down version of that and it's also consumer friendly now a lot of people will probably tell you this is a hoverboard of some kind and we know the kind of reputation hoverboards have they were big last holiday season but after safety issues some accidents and also them being been specific cities it didn't go well for hoverboards so say what this product is better it's actually the next step in the evolution of personal transportation just because it utilizes various technologies to make it far better and also has a smartphone aspect because it's connected via bluetooth to your device the person that really drew me into the Segway mini pro is its design it's definitely a lot more stylish and aggressive and that's evident with the black paint job and red accents found throughout the device it's also a lot beefier healthier than most hoverboards because the foundation the frame itself is built from a super light durable magnesium alloy gives it a lot of strength and integrity and on top of that too you could sense that there is something more to this because it's put together by 2/10 1/2 inch pneumatic air filled tires and they are substantial to say the least there are also a lot of LEDs found throughout the mini pro it's smart enough that at night they'll turn on the front LEDs to help illuminate the path you have also LEDs for when you're braking or reversing turning a left or right and all of them are actually customizable so you can choose specific colors for different actions what differentiates it from other hoverboards is the center column it sticks out so basically you use this instead of column to actually move left or right you steer towards specific directions and it kind of rests right at your knees so you're basically tilting your knees to the left or right to move towards those directions and I think this is a far safer implementation than a hoverboard where you're basically tilting your your feet one foot back one foot forward and kind of throws you a little bit off-balance this doesn't really impede the balance within the operation another thing that differentiates this is its smartphone integration it connects via bluetooth you download the United by app to your Android smartphone and allows you to customize the LED lights you could calibrate the unit you can also obtain Diagnostics information you could even control it remotely with the app and there's also an anti security alarm feature that will notify you an event that it's being tampered with or moved around but of course this all hinges on the range of your Bluetooth connectivity because once you're on that range if someone touches it you're not going to get that notification until that connection is re-established and at that point when it does they're probably long gone with the unit I've been using this for over a week now and I gotta say for someone who's ever used a hoverboard you'll naturally fit in you'll easily get the balancing right away if this your first time using a personal transportation device that relies on balancing it might have a slight learning curve but it's pretty simple and I found to be pretty safe for the most part so just like most hoverboards it's all about finding that center of gravity why don't you establish that getting on getting off moving forward moving back turning is a breeze and I had a lot of fun using it actually there were only two situations where I found using the mini pro a little bit troublesome and the first one is uneven terrain that opposed some issues just because if you're moving very quickly you might be thrown off balance and secondly is going downhill at a fast speed now going uphill fast speed is not a problem because I'm leaning forward with the unit but going downhill very fast you I get a sense of being unbalanced and you also want to just play it safe and be cautious when you're doing that I did however have one incident where I got off the Segway Pro Mini Pro but my t-shirt kind of got caught on the center column and then the mini Pro just started turning left and it just you know kind of grazed me on my ankle so I guess you got to be careful about the center column snagging you a lot of people are going to wonder whether it's a practical form of personal transportation now I personally use a folding bike whenever I go into the city it's just more reliable and easy to transport as well and the Segway mini Pro is in same caliber it's at 28 pounds so roughly the weight of your ordinary bike but still bulkier and heavier than most skateboards or scooters it does have a top speed of 10 miles per hour and a range of 14 miles which is great but my biggest issue with the mini Pro is that it's not as easy to carry around there is a bar that you extend from the center call to pull it around but when you're trying to bring it upstairs or bring it downstairs or just carrying it around in the subway it's a walk there's a lot of effort involved in that and on top of that of course it's a battery pack but in the event that battery dies you're basically going to have to lug this around wherever you go the last thing you probably wanna know is worth buying it has a sticker price of $1,300 but over Amazon right now it's on sale for $1000 I know $1,000 is still a lot of money but you have to think about those commercial Segway scooters which start at $5,000 easily so the savings you get here with Minko is definitely substantial still at the end day it's just still too much of an expensive investment to exper that type of adoption on a mass scale and still gonna be seen largely as a luxury thing now for half the cost you have alternatives like a decent folding bike electric scooter or some other electric transportation device that will offer more versatility for those who really need to cover this I'll be the first one say that I had a lot of fun using the mini Pro it's cool it's fast gets you from point A to point B relatively quickly but it's just still too expensive for me to like so if you guys won't learn more about this device you could check our website Android or thority com this is John be signing outall right so you're
