Yes I know that. That's why I said European country to another country, ie. a Non-EU country. So all of the people here in America at least need to factor that in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrelwood Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'm interested in the group buy, but a bit worried about the individual shipping. An individual person can not ship large li-ion batteries from Finland without some special documents, and a horrific shipping fee. All these things must be investigated beforehand.

Rob Valley Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) i might be able to help @mrelwood , as i was also thinking of visiting germany to pick up mine, if lets say raadwrkstahd will take the shipment, then i would suggest the possibility to import for you as i commute to finland semi often to visit my parents, i would come by car all the way to finland, lets keep the possibility open, and see how this plans out Edited October 20, 2017 by RobValley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Rob, that would be amazing! Very kind of you. I hope all this will pan out, although I would like to see a few proper in-depth reviews before committing to buy.

Rob Valley Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 No worries, i love helping out, its kind of my job. BTW you should know the feeling last time i got off the sweden boat was priceless, waiting at the gate with all the tourists, then when they opened the gates, i took a few steps to go around the first corner, and see a few kilometers of tube we need to get throught to get to land, hopped on my wheel and zoomed away, last i saw from all stressed tourists had to slow down when i got to customs though, they might have tought i was trying to zoom something through 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the enviness of others made them talk bad of you using a device like that indoors. But what a great example of the EUC being practical in a surprising situation!

Best is to link him to this thread...!thats ironic! Please folks, one adivise: who ever is interested....say that here, and thats it! But please try to avoid talking about Who, where, which seller and evtl. details!!! Use some common sense, as there are aspirations to monopolize the big brand names! Otherwise a group buy will never happen! @mezzanine will set up a PM Group conversation, where all details then will be released, IF a group will ever happen AND when the time has come and it makes sense to talk about details! We are much to early!!! First sells are exspected to very early 2018! They do a more powerfull motor until then, set up a 1600wh version, and finetune the wheel.... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I'll buy one yet, depends on the price and what my wallet says, and whether they'll offer 1680Wh in the first place. Same for me, I'm pretty interested if the major conditions are met.

Scubadragonsan Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 We need a KS-18L that is a combination of KS-16 and KS-18. KS-18L handle should be modified so that it can be used as a trolley handle and also it can become an adjustable seat that you can adjust its height depending on height of riders. Let's suggest this to KingSong before they are set on producing based on the current KS-18L prototype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's suggest this to KingSong before they are set on producing based on the current KS-18L prototype. While this idea of a trolley, where you can seat on, might be „original“...i very much doubt that is doable! Trolleys are not made for carrying up to 100kg, they are made for pushing/rolling along. All the trolley nowadys can not even carry the wheel when the are pushed/extracted out. They would break instantly. For people that wants to sit down on their EUC Kingsong has a nice offer..the 18A/S.... The KS18L was exactly made because people where complaining about the height...so i dont think KS will do anything that makes the 18L heavier, bulkier or higher....and sitting on two small extractable aluminium rods? Is just not stable enough on a moving wheel... my 2 cents ;-) 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beowolve Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I am interested as well, depends on the price of course. If ordering directly from Kingsong we might be able to order the devices not fully assembled and get all devices sent as diy kit's. (pedals disassembled should be enough) In austria this would mean, no extra import customs. Just 20% regular value-added taxes. By the way I would buy a KS16S instead of the 18L, just because its cheaper and I don't need the speed or battery power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthPeter Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 What about KS16S I definitely prefer 16 then KS18L... maybe mixed group order? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCafe Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I am very interested in KS18L, mainly for moding, add extra battery and seat cushion on the top, a la 18S. Is it any member out there who are willing to organize group buy of 10 pcs KS16/18 from Kingsong? Count me in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can ride 40 miles on a charge which is an afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the range that you are getting you must not weigh much which really opens up lots of EUC options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubadragonsan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I wasn't too happy with KS18L 1000wh battery, mainly not enough range. So I have upgrade mine to 1500wh. Now I am happy as a goose getting 80 miles on a charge, a 160 lb guy. Upgrade was simply DIY. Highly recommended, call Jason, ewheels for upgrade kit!
