Chrispy Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Ditto. I purchased a Zero-340, and a LHOTZ. LHOTZ arrives next week, zero the week after. I'll post an unboxing and first ride video for both. Edited August 29, 2015 by Chrispy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Why do they fuck up their distribution channel and sell directly first? This chinese companies have no understanding how to structure their sales channels.Why do they sell a powerfull motor which drains the battery easily? There's no balance between motor power and battery capacity. Edited September 1, 2015 by Gaston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Panait Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi,Not yet. They said that will be delivered on the 10th September and I'll get it on the 15th of September.

I'm wondering . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Panait Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Wait a bit so I can tell you for sure. They say that it has Bluetooth so it should have an app, but, does it??? They say that already have some orders to ship and due to bank holiday it will be sent on 10th. On the 19th i will be able to answer to all your questions since i will try it as well. I'm still syper afraid for the very low shell. Maybe a bit to low. Only 3,8cm from ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Rip Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Bluetooth can also just be used for music, if it comes with speakers. But the Lhotz has an app, so I'd guess it comes with one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Panait Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 But is really nobody stressed about the SUPER LOW SHELL??? I'm afraid to not get suspended while running on it on a side walk and start singing "I do pray i can Fly...." shit! i can't. And mid flight to be like "Somebody stop me!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Rip Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I just roughly measured my 9bot and it was around 4cm as well, and I havent had any issues so far with low clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Panait Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Pfew. Thanks Jag_Rip Edited September 7, 2015 by Paul Panait 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 If the lower part of the shell is just "ornamental", you could always just cut it away to get more ground clearance if you need it... that's what vee had done with the old Firewheel shells. I haven't cut the lower parts of the new shells, looks like they come off about 4cm from the ground, never had any issues of them hitting anything.

Jag_Rip Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Arrrrgh.. the crux with new products, they never get on time onto the market..Keep us updated on the progress and make sure you take pics when you got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Panait Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 But I have got this 2 little videos. One is showing the testing and the other the devices closer. Small teasers ZERO1.mp4 ZERO3.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc415 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Arrrrgh.. the crux with new products, they never get on time onto the market..Keep us updated on the progress and make sure you take pics when you got it!is this typical for new products in the EU world? I have a few orders for the zero myself but this is the 3rd delay now. this has definitely been a major disappointment thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jag_Rip Posted September 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2015 I think its typical for most new products in the internet age in general. In the past companies with a great new product were stuggling to get their products known in the world. Today everybody is pre-ordering off some few fuzzy facts and concept art and expects stuff to be done within a few weeks after payment. (dont get me wrong, this is not pointed towards the Zero in particular, its a general observation I made) Most of those products arent developed that far yet and far from ready for sell, unexpected problems in development will occur etc.Trouble is, if you dont let your potential customers pre-order, they will pre-spend their money somewhere else where they can. Being satisfied or not in the end is a whole different story.@Paul Panait I cant open those MP4 with VLC.. I had to deal with the stagefright security flaw of android today in the office, so now I am a bit paranoid, since that uses forged MP4 files to take over your beloved smartphone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all, I still think IPS fumbled the ball here big time (in my personal case), taking all the pointers you've mentioned. I hope they can deliver on their word soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispy Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I was just coming here to communicate the delay on the Zero as well! IPS tells me that they will be shipping at the end of the month. The LHOTZ's I ordered have been shipping fine, it just seems like they are wrapping up testing and production on the Zero. I have those same .mp4's, they aren't a security risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktiga Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I have those same .mp4's, they aren't a security risk Hi Crispy.Could you post them here as I/(we?) can't see the one's Paul posted?

Jag_Rip Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Now it worked, thanks @Paul Panait Dont worry about my stagefright comment while there is truth in it, I never really suspected an issue with those mp4 you posted.Seeing the vids: Damn, that Zero looks sexy (without the transformers sticker that is)!

PinBallHero Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Im looking into purchasing my first wheel i've narrow it down to the kingsong or one of these 2 IPS, is this site the resellers of IPS? if not , where can i purchase the IPS zero? http://www.electricunicycleonline.com/ips-i130-30km-h-130wh-electric-unicycle.htmlhttp://www.electricunicycleonline.com/ips-zero-14-inch-30km-h-260wh-electric-unicycle.html thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwando Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Watching this thread with interest as I'm looking to buy my 1st SBU. It's b/w the Ninebot One P or the IPS Zero 340 for me. Based on the price and specs, I'm definitely leaning towards the Zero. I think aesthetically these two are the best.Am eagerly awaiting the reviews from some of the members here before I make a decision.Cheers.
