Don't know if I will have the guts to go 40km/h! Also getting more comfortable riding while seated. I am fighting wobble with my new 18S.. are you having the same issue?

I only had the wobbles once and it was after an hour of riding. Fatigue was the cause, so I sat down to ride after that. Almost threw me off. I was riding my 18S backwards, the battery indicator in the front, tire rotation was backwards too... going to try to ride it with the power button in the front instead. I've not been able to go in reverse because the 18S is not as nimble. For me going in reverse requires more nimbleness... Check your tire pressure, maybe that is the cause of your wobbles.

And how long do you ride a 18" wheel? i would just suspect thats the new speed you are unused to and fatique...i have no prob to get my 18S to 40kmh...but yes, i find that scary, too! Always take your time on a new wheel...especially when its such a high horse as the 18S :-) Just to take out any failures: whats your firmware version?

Thanks. If I get one I'll get the biggest capacity battery I can get. You look much lighter than me so I'm assuming I'd get far less MPG(so to speak). I'm about 210 right now so I fall into the big boy category in EUC land(working on it though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the extra money, you may as well go big or go home. However, even if you buy the 840 to save some money, all you have to do is buy the second battery and install it. I have not ridden a full battery yet either.. I started riding at 70% battery, and put around 20 to 25 miles on it and it was at 40% and I'm 255 pounds.

And yip: the 18S is loud...it's sounding a bit like a Star Wars Fighter :-) My 18S is very quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D i c K (ie) Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I also received my KS-18S today. And oh my god, what a "monster" of a wheel!!! Coming from the Ninebot One E+ this wheel just keeps on going (such a power!!!) Finally! With the ninebot I was constantly fearing to speed out my wheel. Now I have set alarm 1 and 2 off and alarm 3 on 35kph. 35 is really fast if previous top speed was 24kph! Now I have the feeling I don't need to go any faster. Because of the much higher speed I was glad I also received my new full face helmet this week (Giro Disciple). I think I would not trust to go this fast with just my previous bicycle helmet. I was able to sit on the wheel when I started standing, but I can not start the wheel sitting down. I like to ride seated. At first it was a bit strange, but after standing long, it takes away the numb feeling in my feet. I also had a few times the wobble at higher speeds. I remember I had the same the first week I rode the Ninebot One E+. Probably this will go away when my body and mind is used to the new wheel and the new speed...

eddiemoy Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 I've put some miles on my MSuper V3s+ and I got some unstability today after I pumped up the tires. Maybe over inflated a little due to the stupid valve design. So today I am favoring the KS18S over the MSuper because of the wideness of the wheel it isn't as comfortable a ride as the KS18S. I really wanted to love it, but the wideness I've not gotten used to. The square padding is also bad vs the KS tapered design. I also feel ~40km/h is fast enough. Not sure if I will ever go 50km/h when it is unlocked at 1000km's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was plagued with the wobble of death. It would it at about 16mph. Yesterday I was routinely hitting my 20mph alarm with no wobble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
