Is this something New or they just clearing out old stock? seams to be a new version...as the speed seams to have become better... also can be bought at electro-sport.de in Germany and in France shops also....electro-sport.their test: when i remember it correctly i have seen them somewhere else to buy with 520wh also...and that would definitly be new...as on the first mcm3 versions the board was on the side...and not under the handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this new model's name is URBAN MCM4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I see it's down to $500! Unlike the Urban 360 photos which all Ebay sellers of this seem to be using, mine is plain black (not carbon) and has red side pads (not black). I love the oversize pedals EXCEPT when the pedals were upgraded, apparently the magnets were NOT upgraded. The magnets are barely strong enough to hold up the pedals. The pedals frequently fall down from very slight jostling or vibration. It's annoying, but not a deal breaker. One of the side pads repeatedly falls off. The last time it fell off, I did not notice until I reached my destination. Luckily I found it on the ground when I returned in the opposite direction. For now, until I can figure out a way to make it stay on, I'm leaving it off so I don't lose it. Overall this is probably one of the best values for a 14-inch wheel.

Well done, you picked a Gotway MCM3 v2, the last original version of this interesting wheel, and with no additional sticker tending to suggest that it is an other thing...

The reason of the success of this model is its price, for a standard (= good) GW quality. Gotway makes very good wheels since a long time, now, and in the same time, can progress so much here and there*, so I am very optimist for them (and quietly happy with mine)! (*) robustness of chassis, axle, pédals, etc. for heaviest pilots, plasic quality/durability, software conception and distribution, internet website, etc...

I prefer mine with "an additionnal sticker" and with a panasonic 340Wh battery (which is realy orginal, nobody know it in The french (independant) forum?)

yourtoys7 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 https://tec-toyz.com/products/gotway-mcm3-high-speed-version?variant=15657882883 still selling the original with 340 or 680 battery :)) If bigger battery was available off ebay I would buy now, but will be looking at one, we'll see what happens.

This seems a good way to get a Gotway at a lower price and still have the good quality wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
