wret Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 After a little research I decided to get one of these cool little machines for my daughter. She lives and works in New York city and commutes about 5 miles each way to work. Driving and public transportation both have their drawbacks and when I showed her video of one of these things she got very excited. I found what I think is good price and ordered it. It is now on its way from China. I realized after clicking the button that the specs for the one ordered list software that is version 2.0 while the current ads list 3.0. Anyone know if there are significant differences or if the software can be upgraded? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's a good Wheel, you'll be pleased with it. Can you provide a link to the spec of where you ordered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wret Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Looks like I'm back to hunting for a good deal. The seller backed out due to "out of stock" and offered a no-name model as an equal replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planetpapi Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sorry about the disappointment. Hope your money is safe. For some reason DH gate and DX.com are out of stock on many Electric wheels. I saw some IPS deals on Banggood.com but not sure if they fill your needs. They do have IPS brand but don't remember seeing IPS 132. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Deal Extreme is sold out as well, of every model: http://www.dx.com/s/electric+unicycle I saw somewhere (maybe a thread here?) that DX was being pushed to stop selling them because they infringe on patents. If *all* of them are "sold out" it definitely isn't a problem with stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 You bought the wrong model! The F400 is not the same, it's slow, less reliable, heavier, & because of the lack of top end power, if you accelerate too hard, the motor can cut-out. If not too late, cancel & order the 132 or the 131—the 132s battery pack, though with less initial capacity, has longer total cycle life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wret Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 This the one I ended up ordering. It's supposedly already being shipped from Singapore. http://www.electricunicycleonline.com/ips-f400-electric-unicycle-self-balancing-400wh-scooter-1000w-motor-40km-range-white.html The original order was eventually refunded by DHGate. It seems that your money is pretty secure when buying through them. Apparently they hold the funds until the buyer indicates that acceptable item was received. The IPS models are a little confusing. Hopefully this one will be as specified. My biggest concern is range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwuce Wee Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I agree that the IPS models are very confusing, even when people explain it, i'll understand for 5 minutes then it's all gone Anyway, @wret, how did it go? did you get your device? how is it? how was the shipment and everything?Bwuce Wee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
