breathsavers Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hey guys, I've been browsing and researching for about a week now and have narrowed down my first EU purchase to either the new IPS 132 or the Ninebot One C+. However, I can't seem to find any sites that sell the IPS 132 that ship to the US. I assume there's a patent issue here or something? Any suggestions or links just so I can get an idea of price? Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuts Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 IPS 132 is the name of the Unit in western countries. In Asia it is known as the IPS I260. No idea why the name change as it is still IPS made. I have linked below the page with the unit in question. I ordered my IPS T260 (IPS 122) from here and they seem to ship all over the world. May take a while to get to you as it will likely be shipped from Singapore and due to the size of the battery they will literally have to dispatch it by cargo ship as no airfreight would allow a battery of this size on board.http://www.electricunicycleonline.com/ips-i260-14-inch-260wh-electric-unicycle-black.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so confused about different IPS models and names, I've found some places that have a 16" wheel on the 132 and then on the IPS website it says it has a 14". Just want to make sure I'm buying the correct model. Which is the newest? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuts Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Should mention that closer places would be @Jason McNeil in the UK, @Wheelster in Canada. You would need to contact them directly for model information.Maybe should have just linked you this as he done a lot of work in his post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 IPS naming convention is a bit confusing: the IPS132 was released for us, Wheelgo.com as a replacement for the F400/IPS111, it's completely different from the 122/T260. It contained high-quality Sony V3 cells, that had better overall lifespan & power but less initial capacity (264Wh) than the IPS131. Most resellers preferred the initial higher capacity (340Wh), so they concentrated on this variety. They use different model numbers for the Chinese market than export (everywhere else). If you're in Europe & want an IPS, definitely order from us since the warranty is extended across the EU & VAT/customs are inclusive. Outside of the Eurozone, you're probably better off ordering direct from China. The only caveat is that their after-service is not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breathsavers Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks @Jason McNeil, so if you don't mind me asking, what model has a 16" wheel with a 260Wh battery? I thought that was the 132 but I've found them online with 14" wheels. What would that be called in the west? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 No problem, apparently the 16" IPS132 has not been available to anyone but us, WheelGo. Just to confuse matter still more, they've released a 14" model called the 132 (why??? the gods only know). In the states, you might want to go for the 131, still a first-class Wheel with different types of batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Outside of the Eurozone, you're probably better off ordering direct from China. Hi @Jason McNeil, I am in the US -- how would I be able to order, say a IPS Zero, from IPS directly? Is there a website or email contact? (is it http://www.ipselectricunicycle.com?)I only found electricunicycleonline.com but I am hesistant to buy from them since it is unclear where or who they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 @Daan, you might ask @RichieV where he got his IPS, I would think they would carry the new Zero as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I ordered my ninebot from @mengke and it showed up very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieV Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I purchased my IPS 122 at Amazon through a seller called "Official IPS Store." Whether they have any true affiliation with IPS I cannot say. At the time the unit was on sale and available to purchase via Amazon Prime meaning rapid delivery plus I had a few gift cards which I was able to apply so there was a lot of incentive for me to buy it from them. Currently it appears they don't have any items in stock stateside and so there is now a longer wait as items get delivered from overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
