pressbyron Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Hey! I got a good deal on a new inmotion v10f (like 850$) from a private person. Its apparently new in the box and have warrenty from inmotion? Why he is selling is "bought a big batch for family and friends and have some spare". Does this sound fishy? Feels like the prics is very low to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Warranty from inmotion"(if this true at all) cannot be compared to any kind of legal enforcable customer protection/warranty we are used here. 21 minutes ago, pressbyron said: Why he is selling is "bought a big batch for family and friends and have some spare". Because buying a batch directly from inmotion is cheaper?! 21 minutes ago, pressbyron said: Does this sound fishy? Feels like the prics is very low to me... Could be inmotion is happy to clear their stocks - the V12 is already about to come. And markups from european shops are quite high. But yes - there is much cheating going on, too. So who knows... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Paul Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Fishy? Probably not. EUCs are quite niche and it’s be a low yield way to scam someone. But just like any second hand purchase, be smart about it. Public place, know what you’re looking for etc. $850 for even a new v10 would be a great deal new, let alone a v10f. Don’t factor in the warranty really. Maybe if you have an issue it could be covered but it is unlikely without a dealer. If I was looking for my first wheel I’d buy it. Look online to what they’re supposed to look like. As long as it looks like that you should be good. There’s no cheap knock offs that come close to the same look to worry about.

Fahrtwind Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It is a personal qustion: Is the money you save worth the risk of a possible warranty case? In case of a warranty issue as Denny stated above, you really want a local dealer an not spent many dollars (shipping) and time to correspond with any chinese factory. The 10F is a reliable wheel, if it works out of the box, the is just a minium of a risk to have a failure in the first xxxkm. I would ask for the bill... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask the seller to ride it for you after you open it, that basically settles it. 1) if it works out of the box, many major issues are ruled out. 2) the seller will be literally betting his face that the machine works, which should give you all the confidence you could ever hope for with a private sale. If you want to be extra extra sure, charge the wheel up to full if you can, or ask the seller to before the meeting. If it charges to 100% or at least above 95% you’re good to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pressbyron Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Thanks for all the input above! Is there any way of indentifying a v10 vs a v10f by visual apperance? So i do not get a v10 with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i do not get a v10 with me Seems to be just the batteries - ewheels.com states: " What is the difference between the V10 & V10F The number of battery cells in the two models has the same 80 cells. To achieve the 960Wh higher capacity, Inmotion used the LG MH1 3.2Ah cells, while the V10 is packaged with a 650Wh pack consisting of battery cells from Sincpower." Could be that apps like Darknessbot(ios), EUC World/wheellog(android) or the inmotion app itself can show the model! As you should use this anyhow to check battery voltage/charge % (seller should charge fully before exchange). Afaik inmotion app has some diagnosis functionality, too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Lämpel Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I think the V10f has a red ring, whereas the v10 has only a grey one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadpower Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The box it comes in is labeled V10F, the wheel itself has a label on the top right by the handle displaying V10F, I think the documentation states it. Blue tooth will show up as V10F and so will EUC World app. I just confirmed all of that besides the documentation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
