My wife can't recommend it highly enough! It's perfect for a down-to-earth person. The ideal rider is someone with a lot of guts who's not afraid to show them. With this wheel you'll experience brisk acceleration and very snappy deceleration." I have a huge smile on my face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also getting rid of my KS16s so I will only own gotways. I hope you're happy now! Very funny, and cool. I really think you'll be amazed with the ACM and will wonder what you were thinking by getting the KS16S. Yet maybe it served the purpose of getting your rim damaging riding style out of your system Can't wait to see how you choose to describe the KS16S when you put it up for sale. P.s. make sure Jason is giving you a trolley handle The ACMv2 page updates have been made, we're now accepting preorders, with an expected ETA of 2-3 weeks from now.

FreeRide Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 > "Some enthusiasts questioned the rationale of going from a 1600Wh Wheel to a 1020Wh in roughly the same 16″ package; was it really a compelling enough upgrade for existing ACMs+ owners, having to sacrifice up to 60% of their range?" Just to get the math right, an existing owner of a 1600Wh battery would be giving up roughly 36.25% of their current range if they moved to the Tesla (assuming for simplicity that it is a linear relationship for the portion of the discharge used). It would be roughly a 60% increase for a Tesla owner to move upto a 1600Wh battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Q Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just pickup the ACM2 from Ewheels, charging now, can someone teach me how to change the ride setting (hard, medium and soft). Can that be change in wheellog app? The old Gotway app only found the alarm and tilt back setup. Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install this version of the WheelLog app. Just click OK when it asks for a password. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pc8swvnsgkkm5ai/Forked WheelLog_17092017.apk?dl=0 Swipe from the left to bring up the configuration screen and then you will see the Wheel configuration menu. There you can turn off the first two alarms, set the tilt-back speed (or turn it off), and set the ride mode (try them all, but I'm mostly riding in the hard mode). Let us know how you like the wheel when you've put a few miles in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Q Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thank you Marty, just finished charging the wheel, (still waiting for the fast charger), I open the wheellog app, but it said 100% battery, but showing 67v, is that normal? The wheel should be 84v, right? The charging port has 4pins and the charger is 84v. Peter Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same confusion when I first received my Gotway Msuper. The percentage charge is correct, but the voltage is off. I recommend using a charge doctor for charging so that you can see actual voltages and to also allow for storage charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i dont get is why no app developer has made a Workaround about this "fault"....It just Needs a box where you mark your wheel as "84Volt wheel" and then the voltage Needs to be multiplied with 1,25.....

Peter Q Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thanks Marty ‘s review, made me bought a 1600wh ACM2 from Ewheels Jason, just finished a 26 miles my first Gotway ride, this ACM2 is AWESOME!!!! So smooth, so much Power!!! Very easy go up to speed 35-40km/h (that's my personal speed limit) easier than my KS16S and KS18AY. After 26 miles ride battery show 50%, I'm 210 lbs riding weight, should be enough for 50 miles trip. Now waiting for the Fast charger, should ship to home next week, that will be all set and Perfect!!!!!! Peter Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really glad that you're enjoying the ACM2. I love mine and still think that the ACM2 is the best 16-inch wheel on the market. And I don't know if you agree with me, but I think it has the best sounding motor of any wheel that I've ridden. Hopefully we'll get a chance to ride together in the upcoming year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricpen Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I just received my ACM2 this morning. Shoutout to @Jason McNeil for being willing to go above and beyond to get the wheel to me as quickly as possible after a little mishap. It is still charging but I did take it out and ride it like 5 min when it hit 40% and the wider stance will take a little getting used to but the big pedals seem like they will be fairly comfy compared to the relatively smaller KS-16s pedals. I look forward to putting in a longer ride when it hopefully isn't raining. Will update when I get a chance to put some miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado CJ Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 You are going to love it. I've had mine for a little over a month now (my first wheel) and have over 400 miles on it. It is a smooth, fast wheel. Feels like a sports car. I really want to get a second wheel, but I am afraid anything else will feel like a lesser wheel in comparison.

Scott Henley Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 @Marty Backe. Still loving your ACM2? ? Im just about to get on Ewheels and buy one myself .
