kelec_947 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hello everyone, I am in a difficult choice. For financial reasons I can not keep two EUCs at home and i’m making a choice. Currently I have a Tesla 1020w 1900 V1 November 2017. excellent wheel but the trolley is a bit small (I measure 1,93m for 87kg). to say that it is useless. I regularly take transport but I do not prevail because too heavy and cluttering. What do you think about MCM5 800w? and sell my Tesla? I'm waiting for your advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelr Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Why not wait for the KS16X? I'm not sure if it will be more compact than the Tesla, but it will have a solid trolley and more rage and power than the MCM5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I've been slowly warming up to the idea of getting a Tesla, but I'd like to know what's the condition. I don't really care for the outward appearance as long as the shell stays in one piece, but mostly has the battery been taken care of and have there been any other issues. Also naturally, how much are you asking for it, preferably with shipping cost to Finland? EDIT: Sorry, you were asking for advice about selling the wheel, I though this was the Private sales -section Still, if the wheel's in good condition and you decide to sell it (on the cheap ), I might be interested, but keep in mind that the ride season for non-winter riders here is short, so I can't wait for months on decision (then I'll just wait for the next year ). Also, people riding Teslas or otherwise more on-the-know of Teslas, how many hardware revisions have there been since Nov 2017? Anything to look out for? Maybe I should make a separate thread about that and not hijack this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to @kelec_947 situation I would expect Gotway use the same trolley handle frame on the Tesla as the MCM5 so on a a 14" wheel your trolley height might be actually lower. I went with the 16" as it seems to be the best overall choice. Users who have multiple wheels have the luxury of a smaller, more nimble 14" for short commutes or city use and a 18" for touring. @Marty Backe can probably talk to the trolley height. I think he has both wheels (sorry Marty for dropping you in it!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla: 33-inches MCM5: 38-inches These measurements are from the ground to the top of the handle opening (where your fingers touch when pulling up on the trolley handle).
