esaj Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 @Jason McNeil mentioned the Mono Electric -wheel in the F260 rebuild -topic, and the name reminded me of this: http://monowheel.se/ (the page is in swedish, either use Chrome's in-built translator or run it through Google Translate). Anyone ever seen or ridden one of these? Is this a rebranded wheel or are the swedish really building their own? Seems a bit expensive (it's listed 1119,99€ at http://www.teknikmagasinet.se/ ), I'd be interested in the quality (not that I'm going to get one, with two more wheels already on their way ).Edit: got more specsPower: 1300W The recommended rider weight: <125kg Water Protection: IP65 (all kinds of rain) Speed: Up to 20 km / h * Driving distance: Up to 45km / chargeBattery: 400WhHandles: gravel, grass, snow up and down hills. Size: 50x44x15 cm Charging time: 1-3 hours Wheel size: 16 "air filled with the XC patterning Maximum reverse slope: 30 degrees ** Warning Indicator: Yes Weight: 12 kg * You can be during the very short distances reach 20 km / h, but in practice is 12 km / h maximum speed. Read the manual for more information. ** We recommend and specify in the manual and instruction 15 degrees as maximum reverse slope, but lightweight driver to drive on slopes exceeding 30 degrees. Edit: Found this later on the pages:Mono Wheel ™ is a Swedish brand for the best model that has 8 own patent and is manufactured by one of the world's largest producers of electric unicycles. guess it's a rebrand, but of what? Solowheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 MonoWheel Sweden sells rebranded IPS WheelsApparently, the Mono Electric Wheel design was stolen by Firewheel, it is not a rebuild MonoWheel.se has no connection to the Mono Electric Wheel project of AustraliaMonoWheel.se specifications are not correct: the original IPS F400/111 had a 400Wh battery but very weak sustained power (much less than even the claimed 1,000W)If it's really a 400Wh battery, then the power is <600W sustained.The IPS131 has a 340Wh battery pack, that can realistically provide 26-29km range, not 45kmWe sell the IPS132 for £645, which is 900Euros.

esaj Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 @Jason McNeil: thanks for the info. The "8 own patents" -part threw me off, and thought it could be a rebranded SoloWheel (but of course, it doesn't even look like one), in which case it would have been cheap compared to the original. Apparently, the Mono Electric Wheel design was stolen by Firewheel, it is not a rebuild What I meant was, you mentioned the Mono Electric Wheel and that Firewheel stole the design in the topic called "Firewheel F260 Rebuild", not that either was a rebuild of the other.

Jason McNeil Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah, a bit of marketing exaggeration, the quality of these Chinese design patents are probably pretty low. Thanks for clarification on the 'rebuild' topic, we should be getting a lot more information on the Australian project over the next 2-3 weeks.

MvM Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I have seen the Monowheel for sale in the Netherlands as well (on internet) for very low prices (like 400 Euro).I always thought it was a rebranded Airwheel but never believed the specs for a second Any EU that sells for less than 500E propably isn't worth buying if you plan to use it on a daily basis.

That's a huge price difference, maybe it was the "Monowheel Light" -version?Motor power: 600W Driver's Weight: <90 kg * Maximum speed: 20 km / h ** Water Protection: IP65 (all kinds of rain) Driving distance: Up to 20 km / charge Handles: gravel, grass, snow, up and down hills.

Read the manual for more information. *** We recommend and specify in the manual and instruction 15 degrees as maximum reverse slope, but lightweight driver to drive on slopes exceeding 30 degrees. It's listed as 5990SEK (about 640€ at current exchange rate) in the Monowheel-site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MvM Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I often seen cheap EU's for sale. They will sell sometimes for really low prices and show pictures of even video's of other (real) brands with the logo edited or hidden.https://www.coolwheel.nlhttp://www.e-wheel.nl/http://www.e-wheel.nl/I stay away from such 'shops' as far as I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
