Grep Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 As most of us know https://www.chicway.shop/ is one of the cheapest EUC sellers. I have a few questions about it: 1. Do you have to pay aditional tax for receiving your EUC? Talking about Europe. To be more specific - UK. 2. They claim to offer 6 months of warranty for battery and 1 year for motor and motherboard. Does anybody used their warranty and what was your experience with them? Did they help? 3. Does anybody had any problem with them? Are they legit and reliable? The other option for cheap seller is Aliexpress but they doesnt offer warranty as far as i know. So https://www.chicway.shop/ should be the better option if they are reliable. If you know any other cheap EUC seller you can share, as well as share your opinion about https://www.chicway.shop/. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean eRide.ie Community Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I think Chicway should be fine, I believe lots of people buy there. They also have an Aliexpress shop. Most Chinese sellers, on Aliexpress too, will offer that same warranty, and it's based on you repairing by yourself, they sent you the parts you need. They may also ask you to send the controller back sometimes. You should be OK if you don't mind not having 2 years warranty and a local dealer to repair for you.

Grep Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Cheers Jean. Do you know if we have to pay aditional tax to receive an item in UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Those shops don’t pay VAT but the way it is shipped basically circumvein the customs. (Correct me if il wrong) You have very little chance of having to pay extra, especially if using their standard shipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are legit and reliable. Several riders from our group have ordered from them, even recently. They both ordered MSX 84v and it took a little over a week (European stock) 21 hours ago, Grep said: The other option for cheap seller is Aliexpress but they doesnt offer warranty as far as i know.

Grep Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks for the information Mike. I'm considering MSX 84v 1600wh original gotway battery pack. I made a topic about it's custom packs to gain some information here but sadly no answers. Just checked euc.sale as you suggested but they dont sell MSX.

Cheers. If youre going to buy from chicway, make sure your form of payment has a dispute process if they fail to honor the warranty as outlined on their website. They will deliver the product purchased, sometimes quickly sometimes not, but after sales is a hit or miss so choose your payment method carefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a topic about it's custom packs to gain some information here but sadly no answers. Just checked euc.sale as you suggested but they dont sell MSX. If you are going to buy an MSX then Chicway has European stock and they have the lowest price. Two riders ordered recently and it took a little over a week for them to get their wheels. Black pedals and all. Just message them and make sure they have European stock, ask them for an estimated delivery time and also ask them about customes and taxes so that you have written confirmation. I believe payment is done with PayPal and they tend to take the customer's side. MSX is a highly proven wheel. 11000km on mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grep Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 I checked their website contact options. They have facebook page and e-mail. So the best way to ask those questions is via e-mail i believe so i would have it written for potential dispute with paypal right? Thanks for the info @Ben Kim and @Mike Sacristan that's really helpful. 2 hours ago, Mike Sacristan said: MSX is a highly proven wheel. 11000km on mine I'm watching your videos and enjoying them quite a lot. MSX is reliable wheel indeed. I was thinking about Tesla V2 but a simple inner tube change is the worst nightmare of all the wheels I'm aware, while on MSX is probably one of the easiest, which is a big plus for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoy the content. If you mail them and ask them about delivery time, taxes and customs then you have written proof so you don't end up waiting 2 months and with surprise additional fees. Warranty information can be found here:https://www.chicway.shop/art/warranty-amp-return-policy_a0017.html If they choose not to honour the warranty should you need it then you have grounds to open a dispute. Petra recently changed tyre and tube on her Tesla and she did it all on her own. On the other hand she is more of a man than I will ever be when it comes to that kind of stuff. Her tyre lasted almost 7000km. Still.. the MSX is faster, more stable and will give you X more range. Potato * (1554/1020) or almost 50% more range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe i can disassemble and change Tesla tyre/tube on my own but putting all the parts back together .... I'm afraid i may damage something. On the other hand i would like to experience the big tyre of MSX and i would prefer more range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate I've bought from Chicway before, all was ok, just ask them and ensure the model your're buying is in stock within eu. Chat to this guy. He's the sales manager for Chicway, he's China based but rather replies quick https://www.facebook.com/bryant.jack.7146 I'm also looking to buy the 84v msx from them, price is really good, they also have the msp (no stock though) but I'm not sure if the msp is worth the extra for my use case, (not much off road or Hill climbing) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grep Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Cheers @Antec. I know Bryant Jack and will contact him when the time comes. I was also thinking about MSP but for my case i believe the 84v will be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so happy that I haven't needed to change tyre on the MSX after 11000km lol. I can't run away from it forever though... or can I. 9 hours ago, Grep said: Cheers @Antec.

The MSP is nicely priced and it is an end game wheel. Mine was just delivered. However no European stock means 2 months waiting time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to your unboxing and first thoughts video @Mike Sacristan I'm still undecided between MSX $1450 (EU Stock) and MSP $1799 (China Stock) Can you do a comparison with the 16x (mentally, as i know your 16x isn't well right now) Seems there are not many 16x vs MSP torque head to head comparisons out there Thanks!

Mike Sacristan Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 2 hours ago, Antec said: Awesome! We just got back. Monika loves it. I think the dihedral on the pedals is too much but that could change with time. Otherwise one can always adjust that. The MSP is definitely worth the price tag compared to the MSX. It won't magically fly you up a hill though... but the tuning is totally different from the MSX and makes high speed effortless in comparison to the MSX. Better range, better speed buffer, more power, better headlights and decent speakers. Still... it's just a matter of being happy with a Big Mac or wanting a Big Mac with extra everything on it plus some bacon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
