JeffNYC Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Just received this MCM5 from a dealer and it was supposed to be the V2 with the 2.5in tire. Instead it is the 2.1in tire version, and I really want the 2.5in version. Dealer is willing to eat a bit of a loss to avoid shipping/return, so if someone wants to take advantage of their screw-up, here's your chance for a brand-new, unridden MCM5 at a discount! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrose Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I saw your post about the V8 on the other thread. How much are you selling it for? I can only send one PM a day apparently, so will msg you tomorrow. If there's an easier way to contact you let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNYC Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 UPDATE- confirmed it IS the new V2 MCM5, but it just came with the 2.1in tire - apparently the factory was making it with both sizes while they still had stock of the 2.1in tire. Has the visibly raised body and new pedals and wider shell opening (2.8" from edge to edge) so will fit a 2.5in tire with no modifications required. They are going to send me a 2.5in tire (the one that other V2 MCM5's come with) but I am just too busy to do the replacement as in the middle of a move. If anyone want s to take this off my hands and do the tire replacement themselves, then they'll have a 2.5in V2 MCM5 for a steal and I'll go buy another one that comes that way... If not, I may just have to bite the bullet and find the time to dot it myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delmeekc Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Now there's a bargain if I ever saw one. Does it have any other LEDs on it too, on the sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNYC Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 No side LEDs. I saw the video of those but read somewhere that they were a one-off test and weren't available from the factory. Anyone know for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmeekc Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 This shows side LEDs in the info. https://kebye.eu/en/urban/93-gotway-mcm5-800wh.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JeffNYC Posted July 22, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2020 Update - calling off the sale. The vendor came back and said they can't guarantee that a new replacement unit will come with a 2.5 in tire. So it doesn't make any sense for them to send me another one. I'm just going to have to change the tire myself once they send it to me...oh well. Thanks for the interest everyone! PS after finally riding the wheel a bit for the first time, I've gotta say wow - it feels like a big brother of the MTEN3 I have, which is exactly what I was looking for. My V8 that I mainly rode for the past year was a perfectly fine transport device, but it never inspired me to 'want' to ride like the MTEN3 does. Well, the MCM5 definitely ticks that box, and with a big enough wheel that I feel more confident over city potholes than with the MTEN3. Now I can't wait to see how much the 2.5 inch tire improves that! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dughuze Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Is this sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNYC Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Decided to keep it. Just received the 2.5in tire today. Btw, the seller I bought it from (flash-ecom) has been quite good about the whole thing, So I can def recommend them. They have the MCM5 V2 in stock in the US so you can get it quickly, as long as you're willing to roll the dice on whether it comes with the 2.1 or 2.5in tire. But their pricing is good (add to your cart to see the discounted price) and if you insist they send you a 2.5in tire if your MCM5 happens to arrive with the 2.1in, I think it' may be a good option. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
