edwin_rm Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Is there a reason why it seems just Gotway and King Song sell electric unicycles with big battery packs in them? (granting the euc a long travel distance range) Why are the other manufacturers (Solowheel, Ninebot, IPS, Airwheel, etc.) not installing batteries bigger than the 300's Wh? For me range is top priority, top speed is secondary. I'm sure I'm not the only one. The other manufacturers need to step it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Extreme Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Firewheel is also a big battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I can immediately see two possible reasons: a larger battery pack doesn't easily fit in the shell. Most customers (like me) don't want a larger battery, because it adds costs and weight, while range is a non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPS has 340wh models like Lhotz, T350. Airwheel has a 340wh model, and the only 340wh model is Q3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nowhere to put the extra battery in a design like the Ninebot or IPS Zero; one leg is occupied by the motherboard (whereas Gotway & King Song place their motherboards horizontally at the top the EUC, the reason why Ninebot / Zero are slim, and Gotway / King Song are thicker).

IPS has two models that have 680Wh batteries, 191 Plus and 151. They also have a couple models with 520Wh batteries. As for other companies I haven't really a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
