Crille Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hi, I feel kind of mislead regarding the MonoWheel Elite Zero wheels sold through MonoWheel.se and want to notice others. MonoWheel.se ship the wheel with a 260WH batterypack that according to them has a max distance of 40km. IPS (The manufacturer of MonoWheel Elite Zero) them selfs says that their wheels with 260WH battery pack has a 30km max distance. With my weight (75Kg) and my style of driving I have reached 20km on one charge with MonoWheel Elite Zero. They over sell the wheel with the max distance for the included battery pack. A minor thing I also noticed is that the wheel isn't XC textured. They write like this, sherry picked and translated: Engine effekt: 800 W High performance Speed: 30 km/h Max distance: 40 km (In optimal test environment) Charging time: 1-3 hours Wheel size: 16" with XC texture Weight: 10.3 kg Size: 382x168x481 mm Color: White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The specs in the listings are always optimistic, but I agree they should not be advertising better specs than the manufacturer claims. Having ridden a 260Wh EUC for a while I think the 30km number is pretty accurate if you start at full charge and run it down to tilt-back. Have you contacted them and asked them to change the listing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crille Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I just realized this and intend to tell them this typo and that I bought a IPS from them with the listed max distance. I hope they will replace my battery if I push a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crille Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 They say that 40km is accurate due to their tests, but that can't be a person that weights over 40Kg... And constant downhill? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I get around 26km tops out from 264Wh packs, and I weight around 60kg with full gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
