esaj Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 There's a few resellers in Finland, if you want to buy it domestically, other than that, there are resellers within EU, so no need to pay import taxes or such. Then there's Aliexpress with a variety of sellers (and long shipping times, but lower prices, warranty issues might be problematic though)... Second-hand wheels are harder to come by here, but I myself have an KS16B / 680Wh, that's actually waiting for a colleague to finally buy it off me (he's been talking about it for about two months now, still apparently haven't got the money though ), and a friend of mine will be selling his KS16B / 840Wh in August, when he moves to another country. The riders in Helsinki might have extra wheels for sale, maybe, try the meetup-thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniVehje Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 https://e1on.com/collections/sahkoyksipyorat one seller in Finland. I don’t know how reliable that is. Probably don’t have stock here and you could just as well order from some European reseller. Aliexpress works well and is much cheaper. No customs or taxes either if you purchase from right shops.

I need some insights and advise what to buy and where i can purchase the EUC. THANKS I understand your dilemma, as I had the same due to nor dealers in Sweden. Atleast when it comes to EUCs that are useful and not what I consider a toy. I bought my first 2 wheels from a dealer in Poland that now seems more or less out of business. I got into a storm here of not great customer service and then they stoped to get new products. So lets move one ... I just ordered a KS16X from a different Polish dealer. I bought spare parts from him before and the benefits as I see it is you can both mail and call him. He speaks english. https://eunicycles.eu/en/ Another dealer with high reputation is Ian from www.speedyfeet.co.uk but the reason I didn’t buy from him is the upcoming Brexit, and a risk of no-deal breakup from EU. There are other options within the EU. I do have another suggestion too, but that is more to get a feel of EUCs and different wheels. There are a few shops that rent out wheels in Paris. Some UK based members post about this and how they had a blast of a time playing with a few different wheels. (I am not sure if I recall right but @stephen was once of those?) We all have different comfort zones. Personally, I would not buy from AliExpress. I done it for some styling thing for my car, and experience is not good. But I couldn’t get these parts elsewhere. It comes down to language barrier (often), hard to claim consumer rights (to a lever we are used to in EU, and in Finland those are exceptionally strong) and long delivery times (often) and risk of getting caught and paying import tax. Buying from within EU, you have some level of security, and this is the only way for us to build up a dealer network here. I view this as part investment. Local dealer means more local sales. It opens up for group rides, other people getting EUC interested, and opportunity to get local service. On what to buy my suggestion would be KS18XL or KS18L. The XL have a long range, One of best in class. it is a great all round wheel and stablie ride. I am not going to hide that I prefer Kingsong over Gotway, I am not a hard headed fanboy, but I have preferance anyway (I could be right or wroung on this). But you will people on both sides, some like BMW other like mercedes Now why I bring up the KS18L is it got fair range but is cheaper and weight less ( not much but still) which makes it feel a tiny bit more nimble/agile. The KS16X is about to hit market, but it is a bit of a gamble yet, 1st batch always is. Looking at Gotway the MSX would be the way to go. But no matter what you buy, please respect speed comes risk. It only takes a moment of lag of focus and it can be paid in pain fast. These days I rarely ride faster than 35kmh. My comfort cruise speed is around 30kmh on good clear bikelanes I know. Sorry for a long post. But I hope this helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know (I could be wrong though), he doesn't really keep stock (well, maybe one or two), mostly just orders directly from the manufacturer based on customer orders. You (as in @KiNgKoNg) could still try though. 3 hours ago, Unventor said: I just ordered a KS16X from a different Polish dealer.
