Beeny Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi All, My first post on this knowledgeable forum, Hi everyone. I've been looking at electric wheels for quite some time now but need some direction. I'll be using it for evenings and weekend as a hobbie and wanted to know if the airwheel Q3 is any good? What would you recommend apart from this wheel? I'm a thrill seeker so a speedy good handling device would be preferred. Ninebot is this better than airwheel? Any other makes out there that would compete with Q3 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citi Wheel Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 If you're looking for speed don't go with the q3. It goes 11 mph but above 9 mph it tilts back a lot and gets very uncomfortable to ride. I bought a 9bit e+ (first wheel was a generic 14 inch) for my second wheel, and recently went with a gotway msuper for my third wheel. If money is no object and you don't care about a bigger wheel I seriously recommend the gotway msuper. The ninebot is great if you prefer a 16 inch wheel and you live in the US. If you are looking for a more compact wheel, and don't want to spend a lot of money, I would go with the ips zero. Kingsong makes a good 14" wheel also but it is a little more expensive.

csmyers Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 @logos122 Well said. Although I am curious as to why you said Ninebots are better if you're in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeny Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thanks for your reply. I have a budget of £500-600 so was hoping to get the best for that price. Speed and comfort is key. I take it some are expenses labels and cheaper alternatives would do the same job? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranium Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't think you can get a better bang for the buck on a Ninebot One E+ for £385 on the sale mentioned in this thread: Nevermind....deal ended at some point within the last few hours.

Blackwheel Jack Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I bought a Q3 as my first EUC and regret wasting the money. Have a look at my post in 'Brand-Specific/Airwheel/What's wrong with Airwheels?' (Second page) Immediately following is a detailed answer from RichieV which will hopefully persuade you not to buy a twin-wheeled EUC. I can't tell you which one to buy but there's plenty of discussion about just that on the Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fast (18 mph, although I wouldn't go over 15 mph on it) and very responsibly priced. It very comfortable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ninebot is awesome looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeny Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Gotway Msuper seems to be the quickest I like speed. Where's the best place to buy one from? The current model out is msuper2, is msuper3 coming out soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very very careful riding it. I wouldn't recommend going above 12 mph for a while until you are very comfortable with the wheel and handling road variability.
