Popular Post hyiu00 Posted May 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2019 I've been using the IPS I5 for two years already, and I really love its small size and light weight, while at the same time it can do reasonably stable ride on a normal pavement road. However, I do not see IPS coming up with newer products for this segment of the EUC, while other manufacturers continue to come out with bigger and more powerful and faster but heavier wheels. Even the Gotway Mtem3 has been out for over two years. I just want to give a thumbs up to IPS for making this great product and wish they can continue. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPS Malta Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I can say the same, I'm just missing my S5 in my collection since the LHOTZ. Where do you ride in HK? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply. IPS comes out with the S5 after the I5, but S5 is too heavy for my taste. I just wish IPS can continue to make improvement on the lightweight EUC area. The I5 is really good for short distance travel when going to/from work from the Hong Kong MTR station. I believe the lightweight EUC area will pickup once the authorities work out the laws for personal electric vehicles. As for most people now, since it is not legal anyway, might as well buy the most powerful and highest speed wheel. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPS Malta Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Oh I thought something got sorted out there. I ride mine in SZ when I am there. Yes totally agree, the S5 is nice to have for its better specs but the everyday commuting, the i5 is excellent 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyiu00 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 I have to say that the I5 is really suitable for crowded street like Hong Kong since it is designed for slow speed anyway. I usually ride it as slow as the walking speed of most pedestrian and it feels just like walking on a crowded street without bordering others. However, when the wheel was new, I had tried slowly riding up really steep hills in Hong Kong at my weight of 80kg and it can do hill climb better than my previous Inmotion V5D which tilted before reaching the top of the hill. This is why I really want to give a thumbs up on the I5 to be used in short distance, hilly, and crowded street just like in Hong Kong. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My weight (including gear) is about 85kg (~190 lbm), what tire pressure do you prefer for me on the i5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PoPi13 Posted September 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) I join the IPS i5 LOVING society. I have already the 3rd IPS i5. The first broke down on a snowy day in Budapest, my darling did not like to salty snow. Short circuit, and later I realized, that the mother board is wrong. Unfortunately the spare part supply of IPS i5 is NOTHING. Than I bought (payed!!!) a 2nd machine, directly from the factory, a yellow one. It does not arrived, and the seller rejected every responsibility. So than I have bought a 3rd one from Aliexpress again. It arrived, and I am runnnig on it with pleasure. Of course, not in the snowy streets. Beside this machine, I have several other EUC, such as Inmotion V8 and V10F. I like them also, but nobody can speak me off from my lovely IPS i5. I hope with my full heart, that the production will go on somehow. Edited September 3, 2019 by PoPi13 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 The i5 is such a cool and unique wheel. The perfect device for the actual "last mile" as opposed to general purpose EUCs with 50+ mile range and 50kph speeds. So light and so nice to carry, and riding is good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asphalt-Cowboy Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I've ordered an i5 from "green and fashion travaling shop" to commute to work. Just waiting for my tracking number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asphalt-Cowboy Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Yesterday, the small I5 finally arrived after three weeks. After 5 minutes of familiarization I was immediately familiar with the agile device. Very pleasant to drive, in the Android app it was possible to increase the maximum speed to 25 km/h, I have not had any beep noise on the trip. I'm very satisfied. Thumbs up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotek Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hello Cowboy ! Can you please tell us where you bought your IPS I5 ? I'm looking for one to buy and it seems hard to find. Thank you :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoPi13 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I have bought from Aliexpress, even more pieces. (Now I have 2 of them) I love the IPS i5, even though I do not use very often. I consider it as a KEYHOLDER! (It is always in the back of the seat in my car. I use it for shorter distance jumping out. In the city and smaller excurtsion I use my Inmotion V8+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
