^tom^ Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I found first the video here: Then here: https://www.facebook.com/gotwaycn/timeline?ref=page_internal So it must be a GotWay!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eucist Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I recognize the place in the video. It's right outside of the Gotway factory. I've been there before. No idea why it's posted by "Rockwheel". Perhaps the owner of Gotway who was previously a partner at Rockwheel posted it on the wrong YouTube account.

^tom^ Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yeah, I checked with my dealer and GotWay itself; it is a GotWay, but may usually not to buy in a store und pretty expensive! AND the bad news: GotWay 8 and 10 are discontinued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GQS Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 The retail is 7800 rmb, right? Since it is still experimental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 The retail is 7800 rmb, right? I see you are up to date! right: 18 inch or 5 inch for the same price and the 5 inch will have a 340wh max.. Just waiting for your review of the Super 18 to decide if it's worth to buy it. I was looking for the GW 10 too, but as I said it is discontinued (still availabe in stores) but also geared. Maybe I do not need a third one....

John Eucist Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I think the "7800 RMB" figure was a joke. Kind of like, "if you're willing to pay that much we'll make one for you" type of thing. They are not really selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 So they go for a new 10 inch? Or they go now only with the 14 inch ( .....and the 18 inch) I would like to have a 10 inch and if the old is not good enough i can wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eucist Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 My guess is they will find a non-geared brushless motor design for the ten inch. But as of now they have it discontinued. As for the 5 inch, it turns out it wasn't a joke. They claim it's not for mainstream production and only for people who really want it. Since there is no "economy of scale", custom made, and no competition for a wheel this size, I guess it's justifiable for a 7800 RMB price tag (which incidentaly is the same price as the 18 inch Msuper). However I think it's too expensive for most everyone. I *might* get one. It's gearless brushless motor, has bluetooth app connectivity, usb port to charge other devices.

^tom^ Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 They have now new 7 sec. video at youtube I still do not see/know where the battery is placed and if this is some how the final version....it is better it does't get wet! I like the fact that is a gearless brushless motor, but for 7800 RMB with a 340wh battery it is not cheap. ....I am looking forward to a new 10 inch version with a gearless brushless motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmethvin Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Kind of strange about the case, it's very grainy and seems like it was 3D printed as a one-off prototype. It's so cute though, I just want to hug it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they will still 3d print it if you ordered one today.https://www.facebook.com/groups/ElectricUnicycle/permalink/786639818100650/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
