The post is for seat and for handle too. Seat-ride is superposed to be less tiredness for long distance trip but difficult to manoeuvre. Plus, there is a learning curve for that. I get used to standing-ride and often ride more than 60km on one go without any difficulty. I use the handle mostly because it's center-positioned and very strong so that I can just lift with it(short period of course) or push the EU while power-on when encounter obstacles.

Find two pieces of wires(1mm^2 roughly) and carefully solder to the charge socket 1=positive, 3=negative (the socket already uses 2=positive, 4=negative for charging) 3. Solder the other end of the wires to the battery output wires. It's better to put a 15A car fuse in series. 4. Prepare external batter pack as usual. I use 16 Panasonic NCR18650B. Better to make purchase off-shell with BMS inside. 5. Buy a pair of 4-pin plug/socket, use two pieces of wires to joint pin 2 and 4 for charge. 6. Solder the external battery to the plug: 1=positive, 3=negative. 7. Attach the battery pack to the wheel by double-sided adhesive tape and string . The photo shown is for my IPS122, which I also added external batteries the same way. 8. Plug the new plug to the wheel only when their voltages are equal(or less than 3V in difference). Afterwards, there is no need to unplug except for measurement, examine or repair purposes. Use the new socket to charge internal and external batteries at the same time. at least now, there is a batt mod. an ext batt pack for added range & perhaps a useful mode of transport.

For the top part of the handle(or seat), there is a quick release just like bicycle seat. For the bottom part, it all about how and when to tighten up those 4 nuts and 2 bolts.This link is where I bought the thing. There is a video for how to mount.

Based on multiple GPS apps I've used (and based on my feeling) I couldn't go faster than 13-14kmh before it starts to beep aggressively. Is there a mileage you need to get to before it unlocks higher speed or something? (My weight: 56kg, so that can't be a factor I guess.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trya Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 49 minutes ago, Milo Dorigo said: How? No unlocking as far as I know. Actually IPS doesn't have BT app, so I'm sure that there are no controllable settings there. My 19kmh number was "max speed" registered by "My tracks" app, and it might have been an outlier, so I won't insist on that What I know for sure is that riding it around 14-15kmh (by GPS) is no problem (even though it beeps), and that it is noticeably faster than Airwheel X8 (maybe because I can't get X8 to a higher speed due to its aggressively tilted pedals). Overall, maybe our experience is not that different, even though my weight is 75kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoe73 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi I bought one of these for my kids, but I have a question: does yours beep on startup? Ours doesn't and I'm wondering if the buzzer is broken. This being the case I don't want to take it too fast, but I would like confirmation that I can count on a beep to know when to slow down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trya Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 @Shoe73 IPS A130 doesn't beep when you turn it on. You can check the beep in very simple test: turn on and lift it off the ground, the wheel start spinning and you'll hear a continuous beep.
