User Notes

This DRV seems to have been released in tandem with Ninebot Max BLE 1.1.8 and claims to allow users to set the start speed, a feature that has been in Custom Firmware (CFW) for years.

There is a little more info in the update notes for the BLE.

Much like DRV 1.8.3, this firmware cannot be removed by Bluetooth flashing, and a bypass likely will not be released.

When attempting to downgrade this version with ScooterHacking Utility, you will be met with the message:

Update failed! Reason: Data format error.

Unlike with 1.7.0, and 1.6.13, there is and likely never will be a downgrade except to STLink.

This version prevents changing the serial number if the user switches to the German/DE region or is on it already.
