By Kingsong second hand eucs · Posted
What color of F22 can be liked by most people? How about all black? I think this is more appropriate. -
I haven't owned a kingsong but my thoughts go to the motor. Maybe it has failed somehow. Did you connect the cables in the right combination of colors? They can't be mixed. There's also the possibility that the new board is in transport mode. There's a prodecure to disable it. -
So my extreme is around 800km now, never been ridden in wet conditions. I had to open the motor once before to zip tie the hall sensor cable down cause it was getting hit by the motor cover making clicking sounds. Recently I've been noticing this sound, the sound might of been there long before, but never noticed it. I sounds like a knocking noise whenever I spin the wheel with my hand. The sound presents itself during low speed spinning, and disappears as It picks up speed. I can repeat the noise by going back and forth at low speed with my hand. Is this the bearing going bad or normal? Little recording of what I mean. https://streamable.com/05r94o -
At the very beginning, because everything is so new and unknown, without a prior reference derived from experience, and the body doesn't really know what is OK or not OK intuitively, it is hard to know what to do. It does take time to build-up experience to acquire perspective and understanding. It is too easy to say trust something blindly, and erroneously exposed oneself to too much risk. On top of that, there is also the threat of cutout, due to over torquing. All you need at the beginning is just enough acceleration to get to a rideable speed for your balancing skill level. I primarily commute, and do go over all kinds of road surfaces. Based on experience, I know that it is really easy to get caught off-guard and lose balance resulting in a crash, when I lean forward too much. And hence, I don't like to lean forward very much. But I do like to go at a good pace. So I rely on the right technique in combination of "ease of acceleration settings" to get the acceleration I want, but without exposing myself to too much risk. -

I think its just such a weird feeling. I feel like im gonna faceplant, but thats how you do it lol. -
The key to acceleration is to be able to shift your Center-of-gravity (COG) of your body forward (to be able to lose your balance in the forward direction). To do so, you could lean forward, but it may not work for some people at the beginning because unintentionally their COG doesn't get shifted forward by much. Try moving your abdomen (stomach) forward. For some beginners, this helps. With your weight, there is no way you are not able to accelerate, regardless of pads. Another thing you can do when you are off the wheel, is to find out what you need to do to move your COG forward. Step in front of a wall about a foot or more with your hands out to catch yourself when you are falling forward towards the wall. Try to somehow lose your balance so you would be leaning forward towards the wall. At first, you can try leaning your upper body forward but not lose balance at all. Now, figure out how to lose your balance in the forward direction. For example, move your pelvis (abdomen/ stomach) forward. Notice, without much leaning of your upper body, you can easily lose your balance leaning forward. Experiment a bit.

Are you willing to ship it within the US? I am in Florida, and I'm starting to look at options for upgrading from my non-pro 16s. -
That is what we mean when we refer to lack of 'ride authority'. It can be caused by any of the things you mention or a combination of them. Feet could be too far back on the pedals. You're a big guy, so am guessing your toes should be hanging over the front of the pedals in the right position. You may also be leaning forwards the wrong way. Important not to bend from the waist at all, but rather rotate your entire body forward from the ankles, leaning forward into your KNEES on the pads whilst your torso remains relatively straight upright at the waist. Leaning from the waist decreases contact efficiency with the wheel, and increases the risk you will fall over the front of it. But remember you have chosen to start on a (relatively) big, heavy wheel, and those always feel like they take a while to get going from standstill - there is a lot of mass to get moving. It will be a lot worse when you try and start uphill ! Pedal hardness, and the various modes (sport / comfort etc) are there to make acceleration and braking feel less immediate and like they require less effort. The softer you have pedals set the more the machine will 'ease in' to the inputs you give it, which has the net effect of making acceleration from standstill seem easier. Sport modes and harder pedals are all about maximising the immediacy with which input results in action, but if you are not racing or an advanced rider who must have instant reaction from the wheel, softer modes are going to be much more comfortable and relaxing. -

So I just paid for my Extreme Bull GT Pro. Should be able to cruise 70mph on my daily commute. I ride it on the Master peaking over 45 but under 52 (wind-torque-feel limit). Kicks the V's from 134 to 168. Meanwhile I sorta killed my S22 tonight. The main wire nut (guide from the motor to the fender top which I have removed) has long been a concern for me. Seems the stick I caught up in the wheel in this ride ripped into it and it has something clacking like the old cards in the pedal bike spokes. LOL. Anyway, the dogs sure like to burst out from being in the house. Got this vid tonight... and seemed to fix the no-audio issue. -
changed the batting order today. my riding now is 99.97% raw land. these are my strictly raw land wheels. 66lb and 70lb stock lynx and the stock v13's both fitted with forward and lowered pedals. thinking about it now, i'm getting around fine on these stock knobbys, so tmrw morning i'm gonna slime all 4 tires because the cactus here i know would cause a leak and i don't want to get stranded. these are strictly for running pavement errands. the lynxes suck at carrying weight but my big v13 with it's michelin doesn't care. and my little diy pro s22 pulls the burley wagon perfectly. the other s22 with it's 90/90 r14 michelin gets around fine but the sliders are really accumulating sugar sand. i'd like to tune a couple of these s22's to the land and i think if i use this graphite spray i bought the sugar sand won't gunk up because i used it on the diy pro and it looks cleaner.
