any chance looking at all the interest. A second batch will be made? 
Iād wait for the issues with footpads to be sorted out first.
I dont understand. How is the taxes on my motor any different from sayā¦pei? I would like to understand and solve this issue.
Has anyone received their wheel from Pei? Iām starting to lost hope on the wheel shipping. It has been a month with the fake tracking #. Seller says itās because of coronavirus but Iāve ordered several other parts from China with no problemā¦
I followed up every single day until they did, ordered 15th of june got it 1st ish of july. Threaten a paypal chargeback or going to ali, solves it fairly quick.

Keep bugging them like badname suggests. I had two orders with them. An original order for a phub-144 and then when I decided to go with the DIYonewheel kit, I ordered a phub-188. Both orders received fake tracking numbers so Aliexpress wouldnāt automatically cancel the orders. Started bugging them specifically about the phub-188 order and they gave me a DHL tracking number that seems right but still didnāt start moving. After a week after getting the DHL number and asking why it hasnāt shipped, they finally shipped. When I received my phub-188, they still hadnāt done anything with my phub-144 order so submitted a cancellation on Aliexpress and they refunded my money for that order. So keep bugging them. Just donāt let your chargeback period lapse. If all else fails, can cancel your order and order from Fungineer.

Thanks for the tips, I started bugging more agressively. They read my last message and didnāt reply Iāll give them until Friday then Iāll start trying to cancel or chargeback.
I wish I knew about Fungineerās stock sooner, I would order from him right now but donāt want to end up with two hubs.
Iām not sure.For some reason I thought you where based in the US?
But now that you ask this Iām not sure anymore.
Usually to get anything from the USA I have to pay something like 20%import tax +VAT. While when itās from China itās free most of the time (and when they bother to check I think itās 10%).
From Honk Kong itās been really random for me. Some package that I should not have, I have paid a lot and some I expected to pay for, just appeared at my door real fast.
So basically if youāre not in the US Iām probably gonna buy from you after the next AliExpress wait time from pei is over

Hi! Iām about to start my first onewheel build and had a question for all you experienced builders. How do I make the footpads activate the motor controller when pressure is applied. I havenāt seen any wiring diagrams yet so I thought you guys would be the ones to ask.

I have been researching building a onewheel since all the issues with latest FM hardware. It would be awesome if we could really build something open source that can compete with the XR. @Enginir your controller looks really promising. Do you have an eta yet? I have been looking at hub motors and spotted a peipei scooter motor rated at 800w 60v would this be compatible? Look forward to seeing more awesome diy onewheels and building my own!
Most people use the pei hub 48v 800w one. Youād want a high voltage vesc if you were to use the 60v (i dont think his works above 12s) so youād be looking at a stormcore for that. Or the new 84v focer.
I ordered the Pei Scooter wheel on June 18th and still nothing! They gave me a bogus tracking number and they sent me a picture of a cardboard box. I have messaged them about 10 times now and will again today. If you want to get pissed off, then order a wheel from these assholes!!
Thatās sadly their modus operandi (and kind of the AliExpress shipping model for some big shippments)
I think they donāt have much stock. So they send once theyāve produced. In the meantime they provide random numbers. If you spam them enough theyāll send you a viable tracking number. (Which at that point means they have paid for shipping and now have an actual tracking number and the shipping sticker).
And the funniest part is to come. Usually ups take care of the package once it as reached the destination continent. (So once out of the cargo ship, or plane). In the meantime youāve got an uncertain time where your package could be traveling already, or not at all.
Youāll probably get your stuff at some point. Keep and eye out and bugging them from time to time, to be able to fill a claim with AliExpress if this get out of hand. And maybe speed things up a little
As far as most people have been able to tell different voltages are the same motor. The only difference is 600w or 800w versions. My brother and I got different voltages versions in 800w and the kv tested the same.

Could you specify ādifferent voltagesā version?
I thought about running the Phub 188 48V 800W with 60V.
I did not get any information from PeiScooter if the 48V version can withstand 60V.
Still hope to get some data if the 48V & 60V has the same kv rating and wiring.

I think what he means is that on a one wheel, battery space I quite limited. So youāll be hard pressed to manage a pack that supplies 60v in such a little space.
I think most people have managed 12s1p, some up to 12s2p. So 48v if I didnāt miss something crucial
In the enginir frame 12s2p is easy, and i think some have done 3p.
Yeah I tried to get detail from Pei as well and that didnāt work. Iām sure either motor could handle 60V or more. Heat and current is the enemy of the motor, not voltage. Usually the differences in voltage mean a different KV (number of turns) and maybe wiresize. On the Pei that doesnāt appear to be the case, at least in the motors Iāve tested.
What unloaded max RPM can you reach at what voltage? That will tell the KV.
I had picked the lower voltage in the hopes of getting a higher KV / faster top end.
