Its not that hard to get a China IP address yea sure, but the problem isnt with the extremely knowledgeable but small minority on these forums... its the other 95% who buy eucs without any of this knowledge... and what happens if one time you forget to have the vpn on when you open the app or whatever... once its locked its locked for good.. i would just suggest asap max out the speed and alarms and then never use the first party app again 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone heard of VPNs....specifically China VPN? Its not that hard to get a China IP address I think I might mention it in some other thread. The geo-lock is not that hard to avoid if you know your wheel must pretend it is in China. VPN (if the app refuses to work with VPN on your phone, then it's just another annoyance for a tech-savvy person), spoofed GPS on the phone... But you can't ever be sure that another person won't connect to it with their own phone, and it will surely bite second-hand users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just a faint memory of a post i "cited". I seriously doubt any app would check cell carriers. Most (& I do emphasis most) check ip address for geo tracking. Subscribe to China VPN, log in & google check ip address to verify its China IP. Then fire up KS app to unlock & ride the 10km to access max speed. Unlock that & delete KS app. Use EUC World or Wheellog. Done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This; if they are just making us pay more for the same product.... If this is the case I don't expect them to tell us though lol.

I suspect I never will though, what in the hell is the purpose of making "P" designated wheels hmmm Why? IMHO its cos they're getting heat from their international distributors/dealers so they felt they have to atleast show they're doing something. And since they're typical China CCP thinking, they're using the same predatory intimidation business practises that they've gotten away with for 20-30yrs. Instead of managing their distributors/dealers, they take the easy way out & intimidate their customers. IMO they're still unaware that the West is no longer the idiots they take us for. How do we counter this? Simple...DECOUPLING!. Trump for all his faults has this correct. U don't win by appeasement. U win by making them pay a YUUUUGE price. So I'm decoupling from KingLocksong. Sure they may not care if its only me so its up to the rest of yous to determine what type of company u wanna keep. FWIW, KingLongsong will be sued up the yingyang if they're based in the WEST but they get away with acting like gangsters cos they're in lawless CCPland.

Popular Post Vulkov Posted August 14, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2020 I'm happy we got somewhere by voicing this at least. I was refunded in full by @Antec and now hopefully he'll get it unlocked since he bought his 16x in May. Not sure how to feel about the announcement though, seems like it was purely due to pressure and it changes little to nothing for the actual issue at hand. Unfortunate... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UniVehje Posted August 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2020 It's incredibly sad that first we had Ninebot, Rockwheel and IPS folding and were left with only three (now four with Veteran) manufacturers competing and investing into new wheels. And now it's just Gotway, Inmotion and Veteran to choose from if you don't want to support this policy. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
