Planetpapi Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Is this wheel still being manufactured? I liked the no nonsense simple tech even though I never rode one. Wondering how much a used one cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he has it available in the US as well, as I get forbidden if I try to look at his US ewheels.com site. I did struggle a bit to decide between this and the KingSong 14C. As I use mine a fair bit off road I liked the very open tire as well as it being 16". In the end I plumped for the KS as it was more likely to fit my locker at work (it does - just!) and I liked the idea of the lights which are very handy when I finish work at 9 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yeah, we've still got a couple of the IPS 132s & even one or two of the F111s sitting around in the UK. The 132 is updated version of the F111, with reasonably good battery pack, improved motor & control-board. It was fairly reliable, forum member @Tim Duffett used to ride his daily around 20 miles round trip, apart from one flat tire, I think she's still going...

Gimlet Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I just recently sold my two on to make room for more wheels. Great machines for daily use, strong climbers as well as being comfortable to ride even without any of the dreaded stick on padding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up a used F400 for $250. However, I'm walking now as I managed to crack one of the pedal brackets. BTW - If you know where I can get a pedal bracket for the IPS F400, please let me know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for not responding earlier, I have some but not any in the US at the moment.

Wondering how much a used one cost? I agree. This is one of the most stylistically successfull wheels. Unfortunately it seems to be speed-limited to just 18 km/h, which appears to be very low with that powerfull a motor. Just a couple kilometers faster as well as bigger footplates and...
