Current product line is v5, v5f, v8, v10, v10f. I don’t count v3 models as they are not really unicycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBIKER_SURFER Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Well - in North America this model ist still offered. I don't mind, if this model is no longer offered in Europe. I assume, that this model is stopped due to marketing policy and not due to problems? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In USA, Inmotion is re-branded as Solowheel, and they sell: Glide 2 Lite = v5 Glide 2 = v5F But maybe you are talking about Canada. In any case, V5F+ production is discontinued, but maybe you will find some leftover stock somewhere. There were actually more motherboard issues than V5F, and tire scraping issues due to v5F+ having 2.125 tires instead of 1.95 in V5F.

I’m afraid your statements and assumptions are completely wrong. The V5F+ was a special version built at the request of Jason McNeil for ewheels https://www.ewheels.com/product/inmotion-v5f/ and exclusively sold by him, the V5F has the same physical size battery with lower capacity and specification cells and was what was sold elsewhere. When Solowheel came to a commercial tie in with Inmotion they gained exclusive rights to the Inmotion range, Inmotion no longer directly supplied eWheels and the V5F+ died as a result. Inmotion V5 and V8 wheels were then sold, in the US as Solowheel Glide 2 and 3 and the spec is lower than the V5F+. You cannot buy it new anywhere.

MBIKER_SURFER Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hallo, thamks for this info. My statements are these from a person, which used google. No deeper sense. I just try to get a V5F+ - or in your words, a solowheel Glide 3. Just because of the range extension ty my V5F. It happnes too often, that my battery pack is 0%. What that means ...... But it looks like, these wheels are just sold in USA / Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve454 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 If you want the V8, it is a 16 inch tire with I think the 480 wh battery. It is available in Europe. https://www.electricunicycles.eu/inmotion_v8_(black)_480_wh-c__257 and https://www.speedyfeet.co.uk/collections/electric-unicycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say that, glide 3 = v8, again v5f+ is no longer produced, but you may find remaining stock in some shops, who knows. v5f+ was also sold for a few months by INMOTION France, but this has stopped and no more stock over here.

During the [overly]-optimistic early days of the Solowheel-Inmotion partnership, the previous SW team had some pretty quixotic ideas about how many of the G2/G3s they were going to sell, with orders placed with IM HQ for some significant quantities... These didn't materialize, which is now terrific for US Customers looking to pickup a entry-mid-range at an incomparable price. I've relaunched the V5F/G2 product page, the Wheel is now on sale for just $550, including the handle-kit, protective cover, & wrist-guards—what an embarrassment it was to see the 2 year old product page from before. https://www.ewheels.com/product/inmotion-v5f/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I know it's just a parking garage, but this video of yours sealed the deal for many people I think. It's still a sharp looking, well performing 14" wheel in a compact package. Here's a review of the + version. $550 for this model is a steal of a deal! Don't show @novazeus - he'll probably want to buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBIKER_SURFER Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Puh - $550. Crazy - but shipping to Germany would propably be at least another 200. But would be still a good offer. What a pitty that I can't get one...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codersarepeople Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 A cursory look at Fedex and UPS says it'd be in the ~$400-500 range. Can't possibly be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBIKER_SURFER Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 Are they crazy? Three years ago I got 7 machines with li batteries - round about 30 kg - from Canada for roughly $ 60 shipping fee. Well - so I've to wait for a good offer from Europe or perhaps I'll try in July the V10 (F).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this will become a deal? Please take into account, that I will have to pay 19% VAT plus aprrox. 5% customs on the salesprice. Plus at least $121 for economy shipping.
