BPINE Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Looking to buy a new or used 18" King Song or MSuper speed version.
tinawong Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Hi, friend,this is Tina from King Song, you can email me: tina@szkingsong.com
BPINE Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Hi Tina I have tried to e mail you several times but the e mail bounces back are you having e mail trouble on your end?

Are these available from US or do they have to ship from China?
h00ktern Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 @johnc415 is in the US, and has a very good reputation for communication, sales, and support.

Hmm does that really make them a legit good dealer ???
h00ktern Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I don't know if that is a fair statement. If stock comes in and is sold, how does that reflect poorly on the importer? You seem to expect someone else to buy, store, and project future sales of a product that only comes from China on a slow boat (figuratively speaking.) Or maybe more accurately, you want someone to supply you with a model that you want today, and if it doesn't happen, the seller is to be considered suspect? That's just not right my friend.
h00ktern Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Added: I have purchased from, ordered from, and contacted repeatedly, both @johnc415 and @Jason McNeil Both of these US importers have been aces in every way, shape and form, regardless of whether or not I had what I wanted in my hands the next day.

I never said anyone was suspect, all I am saying is if you want to be in the business then stock them as well as parts. I have been in business for over 25 years and have many parts that are still on the shelf never sold, it is part of doing business but if one of my customers needs a part for something I sell I have it. All that being said this is a very new thing and people are just getting started so I will cut them a bit of slack but none of the vendors show any parts at all for what they carry and that is not good business as far as I am concerned. I am just offering suggestions and comments to help not bashing anyone.
esaj Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 At least you have resellers there... well, actually, a few weeks back I found the first Finnish reseller for Gotway MSuper (850Wh, don't know which speed version it is). The only problem is, it costs 2100€ (around $2300), but we have VAT of 24%, and before that, the importer has had to pay 12% import rate (calculated from both the purchase price AND shipping costs)... Edit: Marked as 34km/h top speed, so probably MS (middle speed).
Colestien Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 @esaj I thought it was you that posted a few days ago about a super Kingsong 18 being sold in Germany but the super mod guys? You buying from them shouldn't be much different than me buying from Florida ....should it?

You buying from them shouldn't be much different than me buying from Florida ....should it? Sort of, at least to my knowledge there are no import taxes within the EU-countries, and only the VAT of the originating country where the product is purchased from needs to be paid (at least in most cases). I probably could get 1360Wh or 1500Wh KS 18 from 1RadWerkstatt for about the same price as 850Wh MSuper here Not that I'm looking to buy a new wheel right now, not much use in the winter without some modifications (battery heating & studded tire)...
BPINE Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Well it finally happened I took ownership of my new MSuper yesterday, I have about 30 miles on it now and couldn't be happier. Everything went great I hooked it up to the app and made a few changes I have been just dreaming about and set out for my first ride at night. I have a very bright 50 watt helmet light which I used to used for mountain biking which works great. Got in a couple more rides in today and am getting ready to start my offroad adventures.

Welcome to the MSuper club! That's great news!

When you have broken that beast in, please tell us the maximum distance stats, your weight and ambient temperature. Thanks!
Villac Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 @BPINE , great news! Enjoy it in good health. I really notice the power on the hills. After you have used it for a while, take a moment to go back to another wheel to really appreciate the difference.

I got it for a local dealer in the Bay area Ca but he is out of stock now with more on the way if you live in the area. 12 hours ago, Cloud said: When you have broken that beast in, please tell us the maximum distance stats, your weight and ambient temperature. Thanks! I will Cloud, for now the longest I traveled is 19 miles I weight 145 lbs and the temp is in the low 50's, I was still riding with 3 lights on. I am not so sure I will ever go max distance but we will see.
