Mono Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Where could I best buy a second or replacement battery for the InMotion V8 to be delivered in Europe? The V8 was (originally) advertised as a wheel with exchangeable battery. It's not quite like with the KS14B where it is a matter of seconds, but I found that it is possible to access the battery within 2-minutes-or-so. Yet I have nowhere seen extra batteries for sale so far. Is there just no demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houseofjob Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Doesn't hurt to ask for a discount, seeing as the Chinese purchasing culture is heavily based on price negotiation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, a 2nd wheel which would give the options of 30km for two or 60km for one isn't that bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseofjob Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I would say Chinese AliExpress sellers probably set most (not all) of their prices with some buffer for price reduction; it's just that many non-Asian buyers will just buy at that price without thinking to ask for a discount (unthinkable for an Asian, especially Chinese consumer). I wouldn't be surprised if you could get at least 30EUR or more off (just a guess here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab1 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hey @Jason McNeil since we are on the subject of batteries have you acquired any Charge Doctors for the V5F+ and V8 yet? I visited your website and could not find a listing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
