Planetpapi Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 That is Lewis Hamilton, riding a Ninebot. He is a celebrity ( 3 time Formula One racing champion). Even with this celebrity riding a EUC, somehow world didn't notice EUCs. Sad. BTW I'm selling my Ninebot, the same one like he is using. Anyone interested?

Even including 2 day international shipping his prices are better than anywhere else (that I know of). I bought my MSuper from him too. Didn't you also order a 22" Monster from him??? I thought i heard that on a Video frum Duf(Euc Army)....Would love to hear a Report from you on the Monster.... :-) Ian is definitly great, his customer service is unbeatable and his Prices are good, especially for an European seller and also very especially for the Gotways/ACM 84V. But if you really want to save some bucks there is no way around a seller on aliexpress....An example? Cheapest Option to buy a KS18 1200W 1360wh in europe is 2000Euro, and that only because they are Clearing their warehouses for the to be expected 2000Watt KS18.... Before the cheapest Price was about 2200 Euro...exact the same machine on aliexpress i can get for 1300 Euro, including Transport, all custum fee's, buyer protection, that all from a reputable seller where i a allready buy 2 wheels......(and that Price is even before asking for a Discount, which also can be reached) For someone like me, who is extremly in this Hobby, this Price difference of just paying less than 2/3 is then no question. A newbie i would shurely allways direct to a nearby seller with knowledge in the case of a Problem...but for us "Freaks"? ;-) Ok, On Gotways the Price difference is often not that extreme high, but if you do a good seach and discuss some discounts, you still can reach about 70-75% of the "nearby" sellers..... For the "Popularity": In my Country -Germany- beside the learning factor - most People here are Held back by law....you are in General not allowed to drive this kind of vehicle in "official road traffic" or on sideways! "officially" you are only allowed to use them on private ground..... Here in Germany the General opinion of something is: If it is not especially allowed by written law.....it must be forbidden. In other european countries(example France)(or parts of asia) it is more: If it is not especially Forbidden ...it is allowed! Thats a big difference! So as we have nearly no EUC meatings here in Germany...in France/Paris there are EUC Meetings of up to 200!!! Drivers....so my hope is that France is inspiring the European Union buerocrats to allow EUC's more generally, to get some more driving Partners here in Germany also....Hope dies at last :-( Please excuse for this Long offtopic rant....has nothing to do with CES2017 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get that Gotway decal for your helmet, great riding video you posted of the three Gotways. That decal looks good, I would like to put one on my helmet that says Ninebot.

I made a stencil on the computer, attached the stencil to the helmet, and spray painted it with gold paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your group rides are making a lot more people aware of EUC's, like in the video people would say they want one, or where can they rent one.

I'm really hoping that this year I'll be able to coordinate some group rides with more than 6 people. It's looking doable since as of now I know of 8 people in the area.

Great people as well and may save you some shipping in the future. Their prices look a little less than speedyfeet with currency conversions and shipping considered. I love Ian's videos and advice so I'm not trying to steer anyone away, just wanted to present another option for a reputable dealer closer by that has been good for me.

I did take a look but they didn't have any in stock. I probably paid ~$200 US more than if I bought closer to home, but nobody but Speedyfeet had any Monsters in stock. And it turns out that I bought Ian's last Monster. And because of the Chinese New Year I would have to wait until late February, and I'm impatient In-stock beats pre-orders any day of the week in my book. I bought the 1300wh ACM from Ian on the same day too - because he's the only one that had it in stock (when I bought it). But I'll keep an eye on ridetheglide in the future.

TechShizzle Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 For what it's worth, I saw the Segway booth at CES this year, and it made me curious about EUCs. I almost bought a "hoverboard" at CES 2-3 years ago when they first came out ($1500!), so I was open to the possibility of a self balancing device. While I looked at the Ninebots this year, I decided on the V8 (combo of price and capability). So Segway brought this consumer into the market, but my money went to Inmotion/Jason.
