The Ninebot E-Series includes GPS positioning and remote control of the vehicle. In addition to GPS tracking, it can be controlled remotely to secure and initiate an alarm if it is lost. As far as anti-theft is concerned, the e-bike has a powerful anti-theft feature. Furthermore, an anti-theft element is built into the entire body of the electric vehicle.

The battery is very essential to the electric vehicle. The Ninebot E80C uses a totally self-developed lead-acid battery pack with an IPX7 watertight rating. Officially configured charging and discharging systems will prolong the battery life. Ninebot claims that lead-acid batteries are less influenced by temperature, and the battery life is still reliable even in extreme weather conditions. The majority of the E-Series variants use a lithium battery of 72V/20Ah. If the machine has a malfunction on the road, an SOS signal is sent to the emergency contact provided with the exact location of the driver. If the electric motorcycle hasn’t seen usage for a long time, the user will then be prompt to charge the battery to avoid damage done by long-term lack of use.

The Ninebot E-Series comes with a Segway-Ninebot 5.0 car assistant. That can monitor essential real-time information such as vehicle speed, battery condition, and efficiency to ensure driving safety. At the press event, Ninebot also noted that the E-Series has an integrated module similar to the black box on airplanes. The module will record details such as car habits that can be recovered during repairs.
