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

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

I asked my IM Contact, Anthony, about the V5F+, if they're still making this model, he said the last production was quite some time back. It would be interesting to open up with these FM V5F+ to see if the battery pack indeed has the 460Wh label on it.

i havent opened up my new one since i havent had a reason to yet, but its pretty plain to see from the distance compared to the regular v5f (the one i got from you) and the v5f+ i got from freemotion, i get approx 10 km more out of the + model.. average ~23 km vs ~32 km same conditions same exact ride and fighting the tiltback the whole time as usual.. once i have to change the tube i will get a pic of the battery

I believe the V5F+ purchase from you was the beginning our friendship. :cheers:

Cool, I remember the only external differentiator IM had was an overlay stick on the box to indicate that it was the +, but if you're getting more mileage, then it has to be the authentic article. The hint of skepticism was the factory had't produced this variant for quite a while.

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 :facepalm:
