Timothy Kessler Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I was originally planning to get a zero 260 but now I'm feeling even better in my choice to try something else. I ended up choosing a Dolphin one d5, and so far it's been a very good experience. Next up, probably a KS for my wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With IPS, King Song, Gotway and Ninebot dominating the forums (of the "name-brands"), there isn't that much information about the "smaller big names", like F-Wheel, Fastwheel or even Rockwheel.

esaj Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 That's commitment. Bet it tried to kill you a good few times during that period...There were some close calls, but the wheel was shunted already when I got it, so it never cut-out on me (with the original batteries, the current batteries are a whole another thing ). Hitting a bump at 25+km/h for example, and the wheel tilting & accelerating violently forwards was one of those... I fell on it exactly once during 1400+km, and that was just my own stupidity (going too fast over badly ground-frost deformed asphalt). Had one cut-out with the current custom-batteries, but that's a problem that I can sort over the winter (while also building internal structure out of metal, 3d-printing ABS battery/mainboard -casings etc. and a few other tricks... ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Carlton Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) I'm looking to buy my first EUC and I'm really glad I found this one! I couldn't find any other discussion of it anywhere else. I didn't know this community existed before!I am trying to figure out if I should buy from IPS ZERO http://www.electricunicycleonline.com/ips-zero-14-inch-30km-h-260wh-electric-unicycle.html for $400 + around $130 shipping but isn't in stock yet, probably because the manufacturer hasn't shipped out -- or directly from the IPS UNICYCLE on sykpe i found on www.ipselectricunicycle.com , using a bank transfer "ZERO-260 $430.00. Shipping cost $130.00 send by Fedex express to USA will take 5days" (Why the $30 difference?). The other option is this Gotway MCM4 http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Reserve-Gotway-MCM4-130wh-260wh-340wh-520WH-680WH-electric-unicycle-one-wheel-scooter-800W-motor-max/32468490098.html?spm=2114.01020208.3.1.azdFLv&ws_ab_test=201526_3,201527_2_71_72_73_74_75,201409_3 but it's a lot more expensive, and (personally) find the IPS Zero to be better looking but that's not as important.Do you guys have any suggestion on what to do :)?

That is just strange: is the MCM4 perhaps of much more robust quality? Or is IPS just really good at shedding weight? Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOOOOOoooo I didn't see that. While it kinda sucks having to take the bus to work right now, I might be willing to wait to save 10 lbs and $200. So long as the wait isn't too much longer :/So is it safe to buy from the "ipsunicycle" on skype and use bank transfer?

csmyers Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The only thing stopping me from getting the Zero is that low shell height. Otherwise, I think I'll suck up that exact 10 pounds or so and go with the IPS132...Any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just strange: is the MCM4 perhaps of much more robust quality? Or is IPS just really good at shedding weight? Anyone? I think you'll find that much of the weight difference and cost difference is due to he battery size. Batteries are expensive and are bought in. The IPS only has 260wh which is a bit low for a high power high speed wheel. With the mcm you have the option of 680wh of batteries, and to be honest I wouldn't consider buying a fast 800w wheel with one of the smaller battery options due to the problems that small batteries have keeping up with the high power drain from the bigger motors.

Planetpapi Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 From the pictures of the Zero, I see it has "more" empty surface to get more scratches, easily. On the other hand that empty surface area is great for your own "branding". The super low clearance to ground is worrisome even for regular city use.

Eddie Carlton Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I just purchased the IPS Zero 260Wh from the contact through the ipsunicycle skype. Use T/T to send the money to their account and they said they would be shipping TODAY (Not the 28th).
