Wheelie Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 This one I mean: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071NMQHFW/ref=?tag=natdee-20 It pretty much has every feature that the Inmotion V3 has except its slower and the range is less.

houseofjob Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think I heard from a forum member that this is just a repackaged InMotion product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It's just an Inmotion V3 with maybe a smaller battery or so. This means it's a perfectly fine product. But in the end, the twin wheel design kind of ruins what EUCs are all about - because instead of going into any desired curve radius smoothly, it's either go straight or balance on one of the wheels suddenlyy to turn. Also said to be quite bad for bumpy terrain because the "wide tire" gets twisted. But you seem to have a V3 yourself, so you know. Time to get a real EUC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Henley Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) I have ridden a swagroller once . A friend of mine bought one on amazon about 8months ago. The twin wheel makes it feel more stable (at that point I had never ridden an EUC and I could easily mount and dismount) but it has small battery and a low top speed . As others stated ...same design as the V3 but not as good . Shortly after he had it (maybe 3weeks ) a loud grinding noise started occurring under load , even with his 55lb 6yo riding it . After looking at some other reviews on amazon this seems to be a fairly common issue . He sent it back before the 30 day return window closed.

Michael Vu Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I rode it at CES this year and last year. It is just a repackaged Inmotion V3 and their Swagtron's engineer even admitted so. It's fine for what it is at that price point. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Re-packaged" doesn't always equate to the same quality as the original FYI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swagroller was to be the successor of the V3 series, internally known as the V6. Objective was to reduce the cost of production & offer a few extras, like the handle cut-off switch. Despite selling over 20,000 V3Pros worldwide, Inmotion's ambition was to sell over 100,000. Based on the widespread reports of motor 'troubles' would seem that they had some motor supplier issues. The production of the V6/Swagroller is finished, once Swagway sell the remaining stock, it will be discontinued with no further twin-Wheel models on the horizon from Inmotion The price of $299 is well below the actual cost of making this Wheel.

Glad you got on after I dropped you a link. Anyway, this is one I've considered to buy for my brother a few times. Swagroller (my bad, I meant Swagtron) made the exploding batteries (they didn't, they just chose to use cheap batteries which back fired and hurt the industry as a whole) which we all have been unfairly blamed for now. Therefore, I never did because I assumed there was a lack of quality. I might have to rethink that now that I know that InMotion was the real provider.

kasenutty Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Quote Swagroller made the exploding batteries I have not heard of ONE Swagroller being purchased, let alone exploding. They also don't make batteries. It was hoverboards that it exploded with batteries made by someone other than Swagroller.

Thanks for the advice about this forum , I’ve been frequently going on the FB forums but I’m looking for some non biased views on a few wheels I’m considering and figured this would be a better place to get that . Yeah, I was unaware that the swagrroller was an actual inmotion product ...I might revisit it as a starter wheel for my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the hoverboards they made had the exploding batteries. I also misspoke when I said they made the batteries. They were the ones who used them though. Thanks for the corrections. Also, I'm at work so I'm quickly typing and trying not to get caught. LOL Edited January 31, 2018 by outcast00096 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brysen Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 My SwagRoller keeps saying “ danger please slow down” and I can’t get it to go any faster or to stop saying that. Someone help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasma_star_9 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Yeah that's incredibly annoying isn't it? What's worse is it's like she tilts the unit backwards to slow it down (or shuts off the gyro) and almost dumps me off every time. And there's no early warning sound to let you know you're already near top speed. The Swagroller is slow, no doubt about it. I really like it compared to the old black with the red cover no name unit I had, if they had a software patch to up the top speed it would be awesome. There are mentions of users making their scooter run faster by using an Inmotion app--any chance of something like that working with the EUC?
