Esash Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Different opinions and different categories welcome. 350 Watt category. Gotway America sells the Gotway Luffy 130 for $299 https://gotwayamerica.com/collections/luffy 500 Watt: I recall the sale of Ninebot One S1 on Amazon a few months ago for like $299. Hard to beat that for best value, assuming they work. 800 Watt: It would be nice to see an 18-20 mph 800 watt wheel get mass produced at a low price point, like $400-450. The Gotway MCM3 and MCM4 can be found for this price, but I believe they are over-stock and no longer produced. MCM4-170 Regular price$429.00 (Sold Out) https://gotwayamerica.com/collections/mcm4 Is it possible that at some point in the future we'll see an 800 watt wheel sold new for $300 like the Ninebot? Perhaps something like the Inmotion V8 with less features, or the Gotway MCM4 with less speed or something? Something that looks great but keeps it simple, and wins over the public like the Ninebot One S1. Or maybe something like the Gotway MTen3 with a small battery pack could hit that sub-$400 price point. 1200 Watt: The KingSong KS-16s might take the cake at $1299, because of it's features, performance, and reliability. I don't know enough about these higher end wheels. 1500 Watt: ? 1900/2000 Watt: ? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's still an absolute bargain for the quality of machine you're getting. It's the best thing I've ever bought - apart from maybe the very first iPhone back in 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they jacked up the price to $1,000 after the purchase from Solowheel. And did they stop producing the wheel entirely? I forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brjohnso Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The Ninebot/Segway S1 is unbeatable IF you can find one on Amazon for $299. They haven't been available for some time, so that opportunity may have passed. It's a well made wheel. Max speed is 12.5mph. It has a 500w motor and a little over 300wh of battery. There is a set of pads you can get on Ali Express that make it a lot easier to ride. Newegg has them for $450, which still isn't a bad deal, but if you're going to spend that much, you might want to step up to the KS14d for $770.

Esash Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 The Luffy is $299 with the 350 watt motor. I'd love to see a 500 watt version, for $400 or less. Call it "LuffTen3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ninebot app runs in the background using a lot of battery also. Go to settings, battery usage, scroll down and turn off all the apps that are running. At the end of every ride and every morning. Saves a lot of battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
