Pasi Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 @Linnea Lin Gotway can You tell me (us) are You going to make "Msuper V3 High Torque" in the near future? Here in this forum is a lot of stories that people want to have an EUC which can climb on big hills easily. Not necessary to have big maximum speed, maybe 30..35km/h is enough. I would like to buy 18" euc today, but I must wait until I can have one with high torque. Or can You promise that Gotway will never do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Spalding Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I wonder if her honest answer will come I think they aren't even sure yet because as such a small company winding the motor two different ways seems to not make a lot of sense for them financially Somehow they believe that a higher speed motor wins some kind of a "race" with another manufacturer as opposed to making one that is stronger from a torque standpoint Most of us around here don't understand that but such is life Wouldn't it be amazing if future technology (that was not too far down the road) could give him some kind of play software based application choice as to which way you wanted your motor to "operate" during that particular ride? I hope that we will hear response but there is absolutely no indication in this industry that anyone is winding a motor for torque and not speed Thank you for starting this thread and posing the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So technical solution exists but would need to be applied EUC world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlymex Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I think ACM 16 is the high torque version, because the motor is likely the same internally, but has small diameter. V3 already has better torque than V2 high torque version. If V3 high torque version is going to produce, they must order an different type of motor, thus requires certain quantity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also considering the overall larger / taller westerner population it makes sense to have HT version for safety with max speeds of "only" 35 - 40 Km/h instead of ridiculously fast wheels (50 - 70 Km/h) with not enough torque / safety margin, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US69 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I am 100kg and often carry heavy backpacks (from Shopping or so), so sometimes i bring 105-110kg to the wheel, MSuper V3-67,2 Volt to be exact! I do NOT think the V3 Needs any more torque than it has and from my Feelings if you stay under 33-35kmh you are on the safe side! Also, there have been some (small numbers) of reports from People that bring the V3-board to a "nanosecond-cutout" when idling like crazy when Holding on to something (no real world test!!!) This seams to happen when more than 120Amps are generated....i for my part with my 100kg never got it to this nanocutout...so that was a ridiculous strong idling! Point is...i do not think that a "high torque" Version would even work, as torque is equal to amps, and Gotway still with the "normal" Version of the V3 seams to be on the borders of max torque/amps. So more torque seams not possible.... My 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a western potential buyer, I add a "like" for a french parisian one But may be the useless speed is not convertible in usable torque ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "cutout", do you mean the pedal just give in? I onece tried climb a 28 degree slop very slowly and the wheel just give-in, and also fried the MOSFETs. I can do idling very quick without holding anything, and I've just did that by holding something so that I can idling even faster and harder, and measure the peak current at 0.1s interval. Yes, I installed a precision current sensor and use my GL220 for data collection, and I got 47A peak. I suspect I can get much larger current than that. I am 75kg, I'm sure a heavier person can get more. However, I think Gotway is exaggerate the current by saying it cut at 120A, because I've tested my MCM2 and V2 the similar way and compare the current from app that the Goway's current is about 80% larger than real, that is to say, the actually cutout current may be around 67A for V3 if it exaggerate the same way. I will do more tests such as shorten the sample interval, climb hill at relatively fast speed and see the current also the power. BTW, I did the similar idling test yesterday(but not as hard as today) and recorded the data by Wheelog. It seems that Gotway did exaggerate the current a lot because the peak current was over 70A. I'll do another test tomorrow and record them both. Edit: may be I was wrong. I test the current at the input of the mainboard(or the output of the battery), may be Gotway test the current at the motor, which may be larger because the voltage is small.

US69 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 There has been a video in the FB gotway group which demonstrates this cutout for a nonosecond! ln very, very heavy idling and provokation on the back ward move comes a big bang and the wheel giving in, but regaining power directly after a millisecond...also there has been an official answer of Gotway stating that they cutout for a millisecond to protect the board from frying...(they stated this will happen if over 120 Amp generated) there is quiet a lot of Gotway bashing over there because of that, while i find that you can stress/provocate every wheel if you overlean/overbrake to much!

Asking if High Torque version would be made is almost meaningless and might be even confusing to them. Obvously Gotway has stepped away from the HT, MT, HS concept/ terminology and provided 1 version of Msuper3 with a stronger motor. They dont call it High Speed, do they? Is it even possible to make the HT version using the same motor? Will reducing the speed open any additional possibilities for torque increase? Instead we should just ask for a stronger torque motor in the next version in the near future ( even if it means sacrificing speed) Also, Linnea will never say that they wont ever make it...and if she does it wont mean anything. How can she be expected to know what the head of gotway will decide tomorrow? Even he himself probably doesnt know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linnea Lin Gotway did mentioned that the current V3 is a high speed version. Theoretically it is quite possible to make an V3 HT version with current motor because I measured one armature DC resistance to be less than 0.1 Ohm, indicating that the stall current is tremendous so will be the stall torque, without sacrificing any speed. Like I said else where, the current V3 board has some design flaws and they keep changing it. If they rise the cutout current by 20%, the low speed torque will be also increase by 20% in theory. But why Gotway doesn't modified that? Because that will increase the chance to fry the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUCMania Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Here, I would like to offer an argument against high torque version in favor of high speed version. It does not mean that I am against HT, just offer a point of view from the other side. We all know that given the max wattage, the torque decreases as RPM, and hence the speed, increases. The HT version, designed to provide high torque at low speed, offers lower top speed at which torque is 0. This means that the torque decreases faster as speed increases. This stiff dropping speed vs torque curve requires the driver to change driving mode ( or lean degrees ) quickly as speed changes, especially near the limit. Thus, it may not be safe. On the other hand, the HS version, by sacrificing the max torque, offers a more horizontal speed vs torque curve. Such a flatter curve requires less driver adjustment over a wider speed range. This may increase the safety for the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may increase the safety for the driver. An interesting perspective... If the HT version has a steeper curve than the HS version, then the lines would cross at some point - where that point is would depend on how much higher the HT line starts (relative to the HS line). If that crossover is at a faster speed than I want to travel then an HT model has an advantage. But if it is slower, then the HS is the way to go... So there may be little benefit in waiting hopefully for an HT model. So the question then goes to whether the voltage options may make a difference?

That's true if you take the same motor, imho the same line in the (rpm,torque) Cartesian representation and then you just rotate it, but my point for HT is different. I mean that as new wheels are coming with higher engine power it looks like they are using the extra power for speed instead of keeping speed constant and provide more torque for not only hills but a safety against over lean or to have higher deceleration for braking, or acceleration for fun Now the KS16S I read of 1200w motor, 50% more than ks16b, but 35kmph max speed only, so it's only 16% more therefore I guess there will be more torque or the motor will be underused, as the actual ks16b I'm using it works fine around 29-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
