RichieV Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Found this on a site that looks like it was translated from Russian (http://bashny.net/t/en/301167):Speed: 18 km / hCruising range: 20-25 km (35-40 km for versions V5 +)Max. angle of elevation: 18 °Protection: IP55Dimensions: mm 481h410h147Weight (without packaging): 11 kgMax . load: 120 kgPrice: 40 000 (at the start - 30 000 rubles)Start of sales: September 15, 2015 This is one of the first Global Overview of the device. It is not yet production model and prototype. The first 30 units in Russia will be sold at a special price of 30 000 rubles, then the price will be set at 40,000 rubles. Very affordable, though, and this device class lower than Inmotion V3, for example. V5 does not have any "ribbons" as a wireless smartphone, pull the handle and music speakers.

dmethvin Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Very disappointing if the "18 km/h" number is really the typical cheap controller that starts tilt-back at 12 km/h. At 11kg I am guessing this is a 14 inch wheel, so even more likely they are using the cheap controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It looked very interesting, then the IPS Zero came along & stole the show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmethvin Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 There are a ton of cheap off-brand EUCs that seem to use the same controller, or at least controllers with the same limitations that I think were inherited from the years-old original Solowheel design. Wheels that use them advertise as 18kph max speed, but in reality you'll be just about ready to break off your ankles from the tilt-back if you manage to go that fast. The tilt-back starts around 12kph and on my 14-inch wheel I can't ride comfortably at faster than 14kph because of the extreme tilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castShadow Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Ooh very nice looking. I like a healthy brand that can do second generation products.note the round pedals is good. often when pedals are folded they have the sharp corner at the bottom. they rounded these pedals all the way around! looks thick too.no pull out handle - of course it can't have a pull out handle like the V3 because there's not place for it to telescope inside. I got the V3 for the handle! I want to be able to go inside a store with it and pretend like nothing unusual is going on and to shop and have a sort-of publicly acceptable wheel down there on the ground. When they ask about it my favorite answer now is I say "it's my bike." With that answer they'll imagine that I rode it to the store and goes places with it - that's what you want them to think.my guess is the V5 has 14 inch tires. the V3 has two 12 inch tires by the way.

Turn on CC to see the speed info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Got confirmation from the Inmotion sales rep today that the v5 (single-wheel) is still a go, planned to be released in December. Tried Alex Segmuller's prototype a couple week's back. It's a pretty decent Wheel, nice build quality, feels very good to ride. Lots of interesting stuff in the pipeline...

Viktiga Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I think the V5 is prettiest of the "ninebotesque" wheels. Hopefully the insides can match the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloo Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hello there. I'm a newbie, thanks everyone for this very interesting forum.@Viktiga You can turn on the subtitles on the video.The lift button is really a great feature. A good idea that should spread among manufacturers hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castShadow Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 V-"Pyat" ? From secret Chinese laboratory. @kloo agree that lift button is a very good idea.I thought it was oval at first but no, it's round. They say it's son of Ninebot One, but it is smaller and lighter, yes? A good alternative 6 lbs lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viktiga Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I love the design and the smart functions but the specs are meeh. Can someone buy this and mod it with better motor, battery and controlboard(Or why cant Inmotion do that)? I like the video too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes with the unique handlebar. I prefer the Zero which is much better in all aspects except for the handle bar and the lift button.
