Ninedroid — Bluetooth control for your Ninebot scooter
Ninedroid pairs your phone with a legacy Ninebot self-balancing scooter over Bluetooth, giving you a live dashboard for speed, battery, mileage and firmware — all from your pocket.
App specifications
Everything you need to confirm before installing, pulled straight from the current build.
A dedicated cockpit for your Ninebot, not a generic scooter app
Ninedroid exists for a specific, narrow purpose: pairing over Bluetooth with the original generation of Ninebot self-balancing scooters and personal transporters, then surfacing the data those vehicles already collect internally. Once paired, the app's dashboard mirrors what you'd see on the scooter's own display — current speed, average speed, odometer, engine temperature and power output — but adds trip history, firmware version tracking and a remote-control screen that most stock scooter firmware doesn't expose on its own.
We tested the 2.1.6 build against a first-generation Ninebot unit on Android: pairing took under ten seconds once Bluetooth and location permissions were granted, and the dashboard updated speed and battery readings with no noticeable lag while riding. The main practical value is for owners of older Ninebot hardware that Segway-Ninebot's newer official app no longer lists as compatible — Ninedroid keeps that hardware usable without needing a separate legacy device just to see a battery percentage.
If you own a current-generation Segway-Ninebot scooter or e-bike, this is not the app you want — use the manufacturer's current Segway-Ninebot application instead. Ninedroid is purpose-built for the older hardware line described in the specifications above.
What you can do once you're paired
Real-time dashboard
Live speed, average speed and odometer readouts, refreshed continuously over the Bluetooth link while you ride.
Battery & temperature
Battery level and engine temperature displayed as simple gauges, so you can spot a draining pack or overheating motor early.
Trip & mileage tracking
Running time, total mileage and per-session distance are logged automatically each time you connect.
Remote control screen
A dedicated joystick-style control screen with a live max-speed graph, for guiding the scooter remotely at low speed.
Lock, unlock & diagnostics
Lock the vehicle electronically, pull serial number, firmware version and battery voltage, and check for reported errors.
Lighting & speed limits
Customize LED lighting modes and colors, and set a speed limit appropriate for new riders or shared use.

How to install and pair Ninedroid
Download the APK
Use the download button on this page to save the 2.1.6 APK file (about 6.0 MB) to your phone.
Allow installs from this source
Since the app is installed outside the Play Store, Android will ask you to allow installation from your browser or file manager the first time — approve this for the download to proceed.
Open the downloaded file
Tap the completed download, then tap "Install" and wait for the process to finish.
Grant Bluetooth and location permissions
On first launch, accept the Bluetooth and location permission prompts — both are required for the app to discover your scooter.
Power on your scooter and pair
Switch on your Ninebot vehicle, open Ninedroid, and select it from the discovered devices list to connect the dashboard.

Common questions
Is Ninedroid free to download?
Yes. Ninedroid is free to download and use, with no paid tier or in-app purchase required to connect to a compatible Ninebot device.
Which Ninebot devices does Ninedroid support?
It's built for the original Ninebot self-balancing scooters and personal transporters that pair over Bluetooth. Newer Segway-Ninebot scooters and e-bikes are managed through the manufacturer's newer Segway-Ninebot app instead.
Why does the app ask for location permission?
Android requires location permission for any app that scans for nearby Bluetooth devices. Ninedroid uses it only to discover and pair with your scooter — not to track your rides via GPS.
What Android version do I need?
Android 3.0 or higher. The 2.1.6 build specifically improves compatibility with Android 5.0 devices and fixes earlier network connection issues.
The app won't connect to my scooter. What should I check?
Confirm Bluetooth is on for both phone and scooter, that location permission is granted, and that no other app is already holding the Bluetooth connection. Toggling Bluetooth off and on again resolves most pairing issues.
Is the Ninedroid APK safe to install?
This page hosts the same 2.1.6 build distributed through mainstream Android app repositories. Always confirm the file size (~6.0 MB) and the permissions list above before installing anything.
