poster123 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 How do I know my solowheel is v5f+? The tag says it's v5f. Do I need to look at the battery?
Rywokast Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 battery will be the only indication.. though if youve owned a lot of wheels you can tell by the km you get on a charge ive had both and its very noticeable when it starts to throttle you, but yea v5f+ was a limited time thing absolutely identical to the v5f save for higher capacity cells so looking at the actual battery is your only indication as proof... where did you get it from? freemotionshop are the only ones im aware of who are currently selling the v5f+ and i can confirm the ones theyre selling are the + edition so if you got it from them on ebay, walmart, or their website it is the + model
poster123 Posted October 27, 2019 Author Posted October 27, 2019 Yes, I got it from freemotion on ebay, so it must be v5f+. Thank you!

Ddolik Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Hi, can you drive the InMotion V5F during rain? (heavy rain included)?

(heavy rain included)? it is the most waterproofed EUC there is.. board and batteries fully protected from rain.. if you have no damage to it and you dont lay it on its side it should be perfectly good in any rain.. for over a year i rode mine in all sorts of heavy rain, though now i use a rain cover because it just makes me feel better lol, they can fold up and fit in a pocket and theyll totally waterproof any wheel

It would be interesting to open up with these FM V5F+ to see if the battery pack indeed has the 460Wh label on it.

The hint of skepticism was the factory had't produced this variant for quite a while. 14 hours ago, Rehab1 said: I believe the V5F+ purchase from you was the beginning our friendship. That brings me down memory lane. It's really too bad IM had't upgraded this form factor with a decent 800W motor & new controller; as an exercise in design of the perfect platonic ideal of a Wheel, there are few contenders worthy to stand besides the V5F, still one of the most perfectly conceptualized Wheels ever made, but without muscle
