For $877 one gets much better wheels by now. How long is your ride to work? Are there inclines? Whats your weight? Can and do you want to charge the wheel at work? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litewave Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The C+ would be a better choice, but only if it costs $200 or less. Is it difficult or expensive to import a modern wheel from AliExpress or SpeedyFeet.co.uk into Brazil? SpeedyFeet has free international shipping on new wheels, and many of us have ordered EUCs, parts and accessories from them over the past few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yep, write an email to Ian from Speedyfeet (info@speedyfeet.uk) and ask how well it works shipping to Brazil. But the site says free worldwide shipping. Airwheel is shit (small battery) and the price is crazy? Ninebot is ok but outdated and the price is not too good. Both very old models. Also check AliExpress sellers "Rockwheel Store" and "green and fashion travalling store", they might have some good offers on 11.11. (China discount day). Check the Commercial Advertisements & Deals subforum for such possible offers: https://forum.electricunicycle.org/forum/18-commercial-advertisements-deals/ 1 hour ago, Chriull said: How long is your ride to work?

Yes, it is difficult to import a modern wheel to Brazil. If I buy from abroad it is quite capable that I will pay tax (at least 40% of the value). In Brazil everything is very expensive because of taxes, unfortunately!I will send an email to SpeedFeet and see the value of the freight and the delivery time! Thank you for your help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know AirWheel was bad. Thanks for the information.I have searched here in Brazil the Ninebot C +, but some websites describe that the power of the engine is 800W, and others describe that it is 450W, I am in doubt! I'm searching on other sites, but I can not find them.This site says it's 800W: http://www.hbgamespy.com/producto/26164/scooter-xiaomi-ninebot-c-com-bateria-lg.htmlHere it describes 450W: https://producto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-1130639568-scooter-xiaomi-ninebot-bateria-lg-_JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is, and the c+ is definitely the better option. Especially if you have just this twi to choose from ..

I'm searching on other sites, but I can not find them. It does not have 800W! I changed from the e+(500W) to Ks16c(800W) and it was a big leap. The c+ could be quite the same motor as the e+, but ?half? the battery. So 450W sound realistic. 1 hour ago, alexandregms2 said: My trip to work is 2,5kmThere are slopes, but nothing over the top.My weight is 80KG. Should be easily accomplished by the c+!

Here in Brazil there is a wheel forum, but the staff do not know much and I did not get the answers I wanted. It was for you here in the forum that I decided to buy Ninebot C +. I found the best price here in Brazil for $ 415.13 and free shipping. Then I talked to the salesman and found out that he came from Paraguay, so he sells cheaper than the others.I found crazy people in Brazil selling Ninebot C + for $ 669.29: https://producto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-950324238-monociclo-xiaomi-eletrico-ninebot-one-c-_JMAny question I ask again here!

A hug to everyone! You're welcome. Normaly i don't recommend Unicycles with just such a low cell configuration (15s1p - just "one cell in parallel"). I'd see some 2p configuration as minimum, better some 4p configuration... But as you don't have any other choice... I'd assume such offers as now from 11.11. from the chinese platforms (aliexpress, gearbest, etc) are not feasable, possible for you? Could eventuelly be interesting despite of the tolls you have to pay? ( ... and possible problems with repairs, etc ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaoch Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I have X8 and now i also have the C+ and i will say to you just one thing: The C+ is too better than X8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
