splishsplosh Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 looking to check that im not getting scammed on battery or the motor but without opening it up, can any of you guys weigh your 2500w msp for me? the wheel is still in shipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splishsplosh Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 if i get scammed on anything, its probably going to be the battery size, so if any of you guys could come back to me with a weight that would be super helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rywokast Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 well if they wanted to scam you they would replace the batteries on one side with a brick or something to make it weigh the same lol.. never once heard of anybody being scammed since it literally takes one minute to open the side panels on the wheel and check 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikinG Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I've never heard of anyone being scammed on Aliexpress. It seems like you can always get your money back? Edited July 27, 2020 by VikinG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho that's one of the "common scams" - trying to get the buyer to let the dispute period end. By nice talking, promises, special offers,... So once the dispute period ended (last chance to officially get the money back) one never hear from them again... 10 hours ago, splishsplosh said: looking to check that im not getting scammed on battery or the motor but without opening it up, can any of you guys weigh your 2500w msp for me? the wheel is still in shipment Afair such a scam was never reported here? Some got battery packs, that did not fully charge or recently one got a wheel were the batteries were already discharged too much... So charging, looking at the voltage reported by the app, measuring the voltages with a DMM, looking at the battery packs and their "stickers".. Don't know how aliexpress disput policies are, if one gets a working wheel but batteries do charge only almost full or don't look lile the official ones? But afair i never read here before of wheels sold with "strange" battery packs? So without opening the wheel you can check - wheels reported voltage after a full charge. - approximate range you get with the wheel. Although ranges are difficult to compare - they depend strongly on inclines, accelerations, speed, weight, temperature,... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antec Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 As long as you buy from a decent seller on Ali you will be fine They have the buyer protection so makes no senses to be scammed as you just get the money back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be substantial for an EUC. 29 minutes ago, Antec said: As long as you buy from a decent seller on Ali you will be fine If it's something simple and "cheap" like a motherboard replacement it normaly works out fine. Battery pack replacents were often reported as very cumbersome, as the higher costs will make many aliexpress sellers "fight for their live". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost is on the store to sort, I think anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNgKoNg Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I purchased my euc on ali and it is nikola 84v 2100wh... its still in good condition. I think before you choose a seller you need to check if the seller is legit also you check the shop reputations by checking their reviews... and ali has a buyer protection where you can make a dispute and get your money back.

VikinG Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I've had a couple of cases where the shipment was about to expire and I got a refund. But after a while, the package still came to me and it turns out that I actually received it for free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
