[EU-DK][WTS] Inmotion V12 HT (incl. gear) [SOLD]
Vulkov posted a topic in Private Sales (secondhand)
SOLD Link to all pictures -> Inmotion V12 HT (Newest Batch) Specifications Tire Size: 16" Battery Capacity: 1750 Wh Motor Power: 2800W Max Speed: 60 km/h Max Range: 160 km Max Load: 120 kg Max Grade Climb: 45° Net Weight: 29 kg Water Resistance: IPX5 & IPX7 Dimensions: 607(H) x 497(L) x 190(W) mm / (w/o pads) Pedal Height: Adjustable height - 3 positions More Info: Click here -> Wheel Notes Mileage: ~1900km, only used on paved bike paths in Denmark. Limited Warranty: MyEwheel.com (https://myewheel.com). Bearings: Sealed SKF bearings, brand new (installed ~150km ago). Installed with marine grease, so you never have to worry about bearings and rain. Unique Motorcycle Tire: This Cordial tire originally came with the demo V12 HT and is considered one of the best off and on-road tires available for any EUC. They changed the tire later on to a shittier one in order to prevent people from burning their motherboards by catching the kickstand in the knobs of the tire. When riding on pavement, its pleasant hum (not loud like a Kenda knobby tire) is absolutely addictive—extraordinary comfort, grip and stability. New Motor: Replaced due to a tolerance defect in the old one during bearing change. Thorough Inspection: MyEwheel thoroughly inspected the whole wheel from the inside out, guaranteeing it's in perfect condition and ready for all riding conditions. (~150km ago) Reasons to Buy Personal Usage: I've babied this wheel. Never exceeded 50km/h, only used in town at around 35km/h or less on Denmark's excellent bike paths. Accessories: Includes Nylonove footplates for a subtle suspension feel, Gryzzla pads that are incredibly comfortable and ensure you can stop or push the wheel as you like, and other gear, making it a fairly complete package. Tested and Ready: You must ride a new wheel for around 500km to ensure no defects. This V12 HT is tested, inspected, and prepared for all conditions without any suspension service or squeaking issues. It's still one of the best commuter EUCs you can buy. I've seen V12s with 20,000km. Reasons to Consider not to Buy Velcro Application: Not aesthetically applied (removable and cleanable with isopropyl alcohol). Modifications: I switched the original, more extended mudguard for the shorter one, which looks better but doesn't protect as well. I also wrapped the kickstand with electric tape to prevent it from getting stuck between the tire knobs, which doesn't look great but works well. Battery Care Cell Balancing: Performed with each charge. Storage and Charging: Always stored between 40-50% when not in use at home temps; never left charged at 100% for more than a few hours. Never discharged under 30%. Always charges to 100.8V. Range is as good as when new. Never left outside. Extras Nylonove footplates (& original footplates) Gryzzla pads with reflectors (mixed) Torque pads Leather Knox gloves with scaphoid protection (M) ENUI Summer gloves with scaphoid protection (M) TSG Helmet (M) Leatt Dual Axis knee guards Xiaomi electric tire pump New reserve front plastic cover incl. front rubber/bumper Note: Most gear is visibly used but fully functional. Price and Shipping 12,500 DKK (1670 euro) FREE shipping to DK & EU Payment Method Flexible: E.g., Bank transfer, PayPal, MobilePay, etc. -
EUC: Begode Nikola Plus 100v Battery: LG N50T 21700cels Weight: ~25kg (with nylonove) 60km/h+ top speed 70-120km range (for a 70kg rider at 25km/h) (better range than V12 HT) It has been ridden 3500km (95% paved bike paths in Denmark) Brand new highest quality (SKF) bearings just installed Overall Inspection done by MyEWheel (https://myewheel.com) Battery Care: Always balanced the cells at least once a week Always stored at around 50% battery when needed Never discharged under 30% Battery always charges to 100.8V Never lost any range Extras: Nylonove pedals + original pedals with brand-new grip tape Bell Super Air R MIPS Helmet (black) (almost brand new) 3 sets of pads (Frank pads, custom pads and Begode pads) MSP custom handle Noctua quiet fan (not installed) The Begode Nikola Plus 100v is in excellent mechanical condition and has been well taken care of. I've always taken care of the battery and it hasn't lost any range. I've always ridden the wheel under 50km/h (except once when I hit 56km/h out of town). This wheel is incredibly quiet and doesn't have any annoying coil whine like some other Begode wheels. The ride is buttery smooth (even smoother than my new V12 HT, which was a bit tough to swallow at first). The wheel has only fallen once when I hit newly applied white road paint that was slippery at 25km/h (that was at 300km, and it's been doing great for the last 3200km). It also had a few tumbles at less than 5km/h. I decided to get a V12 for a change of pace as a Christmas present a few months ago after the bearings started going (didn't clean the snow one time when I came back from work and it melted over the bearings during the night). The pictures are from when the wheel had around 900km on it and I just changed the side panels. It has accumulated a few extra cosmetic scratches since then but nothing rubs, no issues with how the wheel operates. Those with over 10,000 km on their wheel, like @Mike Sacristan, can attest to the Nikola's durability. The wheel is currently with MyEwheel (https://myewheel.com) waiting to be shipped. There will be 2 packages you will receive, one from myewheel with the Begode Nikola Plus and one with all the extras, charger etc. from me. Payment type: Anything you're comfortable with e.g. Paypal All Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/RezYqQa LOCATION: EUROPE 1000 EURO (OBO) (8000DKK) (FREE SHIPPING W/ UPS)

The fault is, without a doubt, with whoever decided to go with these cells and left the wheels almost unlimited. But we can't do much about it now, especially people that bought their wheels in the EU or from sellers other than ewheels that are currently offering free replacements. I don't care about anyone shifting the focus on anything. What I meant with my comment is that everyone "stuck" with these wheels and batteries and aren't getting free replacements can at least try and ride nice and slow until they have the opportunity to replace the batteries or the entire wheel with a new one. They can also evaluate how they rode the wheel up until now and decide how to proceed to be safe.

I have a 2-year-old Nikola+ with the LG M50T cells, so I'm pretty invested in the topic. From my research, I understand these LG batteries are great and beat some more expensive packs if you operate within their limits. The problem is that you can ride the Nik+ and similar wheels way past the battery's limits for extended periods, which increases the risk with every ride. Let's not forget jumping, riding the beeps, crashing, riding in the rain, bad charging practices etc. There are quite a few variables to consider.

Did yours break?

When I first learned to ride on a V10F, I really felt I made a mistake by purchasing this thing. One year later, I've gone through 4 wheels and thousands of kilometres, so don't give up. When it clicks, it should be a freeing experience, like it was for me.

Veteran Sherman V2 street tire: Kenda K340 or motorcycle/scooter tire?
Vulkov replied to supercurio's topic in Tires
Based on my limited search, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the Michelin City Grip or Grip 2 to be available in a size that fits the Sherman. Here's another positive experience with the Michelin City Pro albeit on a much bigger wheel (Monster V3+) -
Bump or something

[EU-DENMARK] V10F (59km) + Free ENUI Protective Gloves and jumping Karambits. Sending with Insured international shipping only! Hi everyone, this V10F was my first wheel. I learned fast, but it took a fall in the first 5km of me riding it, so it has some cosmetic issues mostly addressed on the photos.

It's super comfortable! This offer includes: - V10F (59km) with a 1-year warranty (receipt and transferable warranty available from euc.sale) - Full packaging/documentation and charger - Free ENUI gloves in size M (Check them out) (60 euro) - Jumping Karambits from euc.sale installed (40 euro) Price: 850eu w/o shipping (Insured shipping is around 50-80 euro depending on the country, PM for a quote to your address) For more photos please refer to the facebook post on EUC Marketplace HERE

Hey guys, I'm hoping I could get some clarity in consulting some more knowledgeable, passionate EUC riders. After the whole 16x locking debacle happened I returned it and started researching what else to get. I consulted many great people with lots of experience but I'm still indecisive. Option 1. Inmotion V10f - to own at least for a year and a half for around 1100 EU. The primary use case is commuting around town so I doubt I'll regret it. I can also sell it for at least half the money in 1.5yrs so In my mind it seems like the cheapest, most versatile option except the obvious if pushed ~30km range. After selling it my thinking is V11 if it's polished by then. ( EDIT: It also has a new motherboard, tire, firmware and new pedals with the latest batch.) Option 2. Nikola+. Obviously if going this route I'm not planning on changing it at all for the foreseeable future. But the motor is older and overall albeit a proven wheel at this point I'm more inclined to get a V11 when polished. Option 3.??? I'll be happy if anyone else can either confirm my thinking about the v10f or perhaps even give me a better idea.

I'm happy we got somewhere by voicing this at least. I was refunded in full by @Antec and now hopefully he'll get it unlocked since he bought his 16x in May. Not sure how to feel about the announcement though, seems like it was purely due to pressure and it changes little to nothing for the actual issue at hand. Unfortunate...

Thank you for the info! My wheel was bought from a private entity who bought it from Aliexpress. I'm in the process of returning the wheel as I was lucky enough that the person that I bought it from happened to be an incredibly decent human being. It takes one look at the Facebook groups to see that people complain about locked wheels and it seems to be just beginning. Unfortunate for Kingsong, as this will only hurt them IMO. I'm going to order a V11.

I'm not sure if you are misunderstanding something here. Did you read this? : I researched the heck out of the Kingsong 16x before making a purchase. Never, not even once did I come across someone saying that you will not be able to use a wheel bought from anywhere else other than your region. There were posts about locked wheels but the general consensus IN ALL of them was that there is a solution and that was EUC World or the iOS darknessbot app. In my case, EUC World did not work but another app did. As long as I don't connect it to the internet and/or my GPS signal it does not keep on locking the wheel. In the end, I made the post before I managed to unlock it. The reason for the posts is to bring awareness because this is a niche market. Many newcomers come in and no one is obliged to read every post on everything EUC related before making their decision. In the EU the prices are way higher than in the US. Many people might feel like buying through sites such as AliExpress. In my case, I saw a good opportunity in a UK seller that had this wheel still in the box because he bought another one while waiting for this one. Now please go to my original post and read it again. Where is the warning " extraordinarily broad" except for the title? Go back and read my post. The simpler it is the better chance people will see it and think twice before buying their products from you know where at this point. Lastly address me personally and try to be respectful even in writing. It is the grown-up thing to do is it not? You seem kind of ticked off? Maybe try some yoga or meditation it helps.

That's all fine and well everyone is free to make their judgement and purchase from wherever they want. In this case (my 16x was bought from a UK guy) the person that bought the wheel from AliExpress bought it from a very very reputable AliExpress store and the wheel is absolutely the same as a new wheel sold in EU or US. For KingSong to completely disable a wheel just because it was sold by an "unauthorized" source is complete crazy town territory. The only thing that can happen is them losing more customers than their margins taking a hit just because some people decided to take a risk with an aliexpress listing and wait a whole month or two for the thing to arrive if it even arrives in the first place. Instead of punishing potentially unsuspecting end consumers like me, they should sort their contracts with the aliexpress store owners IMO. Obviously, I have no idea how that works or if it even can work but ethically locking a perfectly functional product does not stand right with me.

16x, I didn't try registering but the Tuner app worked when offline. If I keep it online however it locks it until I delete all the data and cache of the app in about 10 min. Forgive me if I seem incompetent but what difference does it make if I use data as opposed to wifi?
