It is described as a '[Balancing Scooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-electric-scooters),' yet it may be more in line with a comparison to a unicycle. The One E+ is a [single wheel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naowheel) that a person stands on. Controlled similarly to a [Segway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/segway-ninebot-s-kids), it's outfitted with 16-inch self-balancing brushless motor to calculate various contextual factors including ground texture, traffic, weight, balance and more. Weighing only 31 pounds, the Ninebot One E+ is made out of magnesium alloy shell and finished with an anti-skid coating. It works with a Ninedroid app that is meant to alert users to its battery life and temperature, speed and other important information. Fun and functional, it offers a new method for commuting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Core-challenging Transportation:** The rise of core-challenging transportation options like the Ninebot One E+ presents opportunities for new ways to travel and commute. - **Smart Mobility Solutions:** The integration of a Ninedroid app with the Ninebot One E+ highlights the trend towards smart mobility solutions that offer users important information and control features. - **Personalized Commuting:** The compact and lightweight design of the Ninebot One E+ caters to the trend of personalized commuting options that are convenient for urban dwellers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Urban Mobility:** The Ninebot One E+ offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the urban mobility industry as a new method for commuting and last-mile transportation. - **Gadget and App Development:** The integration of the Ninedroid app and the need for additional features and upgrades for the Ninebot One E+ opens up opportunities in the gadget and app development industry. - **Sports and Fitness Equipment:** The core-challenging aspect of the Ninebot One E+ makes it suitable for the sports and fitness equipment industry, presenting opportunities for innovation in personal transportation devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Long-Range Commuter Kick Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninebot-ekickscooter-e2-pro.md) - [Robust Electric Kick Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-stand-bike.md) - [Double-Suspension Kickscooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-kickscooters.md) - [Incline-Scaling Electric Unicycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inclinescaling-electric-unicycle.md) - [Double-Suspension Commuter Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/segway-ninebot-kickscooter-max-g2.md) - [Novice-Friendly Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-electric-scooters.md) - [Stabilized Standing Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/element-bondi.md) - [Single-Wheeled Modular Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-naowheel.md) - [Dual-Posture Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-escooter.md)
