Rotem Yakir Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hello, I'm trying to see if there are stores that sell EUC in Greece or Cyprus. Anyone knows and can share links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefteris Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hello guys! Yes @The Fat Unicyclist i'm a local and yes i can help @Rotem Yakir What are you searching for exactly, cause there are no "serious" stores in Greece, and anything you find has ±100% upped the price.

meepmeepmayer Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Greece and Cyprus = EU... can't you just order to Cyprus from any EU store? Some may even have free shipping. Good prices (for example, there are tons of EU shops): https://eunicycles.eu/en/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 But there are also private prices from known stores that we've managed to get our hands on cause more than 10~15 people bought wheels. That is why i'm asking on what he is searching for, so i can see if the team can find it cheaper than even the known EU stores. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotem Yakir Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hi @Lefteris, @meepmeepmayer and @The Fat Unicyclist, Thank you for your reply. Let me explain. Unfortunately I live in a country that does not allow to enter EUC to the country not to mention sell it (Israel). This is why when we want to bring EUC we need to smuggle it, part by part in our suitcase and hope for the best. Recently, my brother-in-law got his flight license and therefor, can fly to Cyprus and Greece quite easily. As a Pilot, he is less prone to get his suitcase checked. This can increase my changes to buy a EUC and bring it to the country. So, just to be clear, I do not live in Cyprus not Greece, I just live near by Maybe a good idea will be to order a EUC to someone that lives there and I will fly there, get it and fly back. Would love to hear what you guys think, thanks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize you meant a physical store. 2 minutes ago, Rotem Yakir said: Maybe a good idea will be to order a EUC to someone that lives there and I will fly there, get it and fly back. Good plan! I don't think there is a physical store there. This makes more sense. Maybe a hotel or something (whatever it takes, right?)? Or some helpful Cyprus EUC rider. I applaud your EUC dedication Good luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Well that is a different turn of events, and a quite adventurous one! It is easier to buy something from a store, there are 2 guys in Athens Greece, but still their prices are like double from the expensive one in Europe ( :-O ) That is why i suggested you first choose a wheel, so we know what you are searching for and then find the best price and shipping for it. About the next part of your ordeal, you need one of your guys to received it in Greece, what i may suggest is to split the wheel from the battery, and send the shell/motor/etc without the battery with the plane, so it's gonna by safe for everyone, first your pilot and then the passengers and then the legal parties involved. The battery send it thru other means of transport or in a separate flight. Then combine the two again at your place and you'll have your wheel!! But first, choose a model and price range so we can suggest Edited February 23, 2020 by Lefteris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotem Yakir Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thanks @Lefteris and @meepmeepmayer, Finding the EUC is not a problem, I have KS 18L right now and would love to buy a brand new KS 18XL (or something like that). I think ordering it to someone can be great, and would love to hear if you know anyone in Cyprus or Greece that will be kind enough to allow me to send the EUC to him? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I have a contact in the Uk that has a brand new KS18XL and can ship it in 3 days for ±2000€ but i can't help you with the order, same price for a KS16X, same shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotem Yakir Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thanks, that's cool. Just need to find someone in Cyprus or Greece that can keep it for me until I arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'd like to help you, but when will you arrive? If you are going to arrive here why not order the wheel then and want someone to pre-order and keep it for you, you won't be staying here for long? Help me understand your time-table so i can figure out the best plan from my side.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotem Yakir Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thank you @Lefteris First I will confirm with my brother-in-law when we can fly to Greece (I will plan it 2 weeks ahead). After I have the date, I will order the EUC to you a week before I arrive. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Well it's a bit odd, but I think we can manage, but I don't know if you'll find the wheel avaliable, or in the price range you may want. What wheel do you like in general, what are you thoughts.. And also what is your limit in € Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotem Yakir Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 I think I would like to buy the new KS 18XL, how much do you think it should cost me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Let me ask the guy and will come back to you Edit. Great choice for a while, range King Edited February 24, 2020 by Lefteris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotem Yakir Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Just now, Χρήστος Γεωργαμπλοπουλος said: don't post detailed plans like that. I'd take that post down Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Look @Χρήστος Γεωργαμπλοπουλοςhe is open with it, he wants a wheel, and we all know the need to get one. I can understand his point of view but, it needs to be super coordinated.... @Rotem Yakir I'd like to be as transparent as it can be if I am to help you with this ordeal /plan, that is why I'm wiling to communicate thru the forum, here. If there is a need for you and me to share private information you can thru private messages, but I think that its proper to keep it as open as it can be, for you and me and the mods / owners. Are you OK with this? If yes then I'm in. Edited February 24, 2020 by Lefteris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotem Yakir Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Yeah sure, appreciate any help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 My friend responded, he needs to ask again for KS18XL but he has about 4 pieces of KS16X, do you like the KS16X ? It's for instant shipping, 3 days to Greece. And we wait for the reply for the KS18XL .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotem Yakir Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks @Lefteris I just finished a call with my brother-in-law. Flying to Greece will cost us $1500 which will make it not wroth to fly. So for now, I will need to give up, unfortunately. Thank you for your willingness to help, appreciate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 No problem bro, i just hope you'll find a way to have fun with an electric unicycle. Just be careful ok.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Narical Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I decided not to create new topic, I better post here. I'm a tourist from Saint Petersburg, Russia. I'll live with my gf in Limassol for a week. Is any active EUC community here? Maybe there's a chance somebody have a wheel to spare (for $$ maybe). It feels like I've lost my legs when I left my EUCs at home... I'm experient and accurate rider, have ks14d 420 Wh with 16x2,5'' tire and ks18xl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefteris Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It's great that you reach out, and i hope someone will help you, but you have a better chance with a new thread about this matter. Maybe visit the local meetups https://forum.electricunicycle.org/forum/26-local-group-meet-ups/ And start a thread there! I hope for the best!!!
