My sherman bit me at .00001 mph as I layed it down then on its nose. It was sore for days. Yeah, even the baby mten can issue a quick dance lesson you wont soon forget. -
For Sale is a used Kingsong 16S with 1200km ridden. Purchased in jan 2019 and battery size is 840Wh. There are a few scratches from when I was first learning (all low speed jump offs) which can be seen in the many photos. They do not affect performance at all, as any Kingsong rider will guarantee you, this thing is built like a tank and can withstand much more. Max speed is 35km/h and lights / speakers all work perfect. Comes with charger. It has never been ridden in the rain, and the battery has always been left at 35-60% , while being topped off occasionally to ensure the battery life lasts as long as possible. I have also installed the best grip tape on the market to ensure my feet do not slip off, and it has never failed me since. Comes with many extra items: Fox Rampage Comp – Full face downhill MTB helmet. Size medium. Never crashed. Has rear view mirror installed which comes in very handy when riding. $300 value Knockoff Oakley biking glasses that fit with helmet on. Comes with 5 interchangeable lenses. Triple-8 Elbow pads, Knee pads, and Wrist Guards. Perfect for anyone trying to learn how to ride. Replaceable new metal trolley handles to replace the scratched stock plastic one. I’m not savvy enough to install it, and never got around to learning how. Unused sheet of vicious grip tape, if you ever want to change the currently installed one for something fresh.

Turn the GPS off on your phone when you go to the park, somebody told me the skater doods and doodettes don't like being shown up by wheels so they lobbied for and got a super secret geofence installed for KS wheels. Automagically and silently resets the tilt angle when you're in a skate park... ^^^ bad joke. I'm betting @Brendan "nog3" Halliday is correct, that the tilt angle adjustment doesn't actually work on the 16X—probably to keep it from dancing. It's one thing to get hit by a spinning MTen, quite another by a 50 lb wheel... probably break your leg. -
My 16x definitely does the dance dance aka wheel spins up if I tilt it over slowly with the tilt engaged but it only seems to do it once I'm home from the park and forget to reset the setting. I'll get video next time. That in addition to reading on here that one of the last few updates brought it to the 18xl and 16x. Thanks for all the replies so far, I'll post the trail wipeout video as well if people want to see it. I bounced right back up, but got a nasty bruise on my bum bone. -
Theoretically yes (there is a setting and it does work). BUT. When the MTen falls over, the first thing to hit is the pedal/pedal hanger because they're so low. If the tilt angle cutoff is set higher than the minimum, hitting the pedal hanger causes the tire to lift from the ground and the tire spins up to full speed—often touching the ground again. When that happens, the MTen does the "GotWay dance", spins like a devil, bounces around, and takes a chunk out of your shin or ankle. Then it lays on its side and laughs at you while you hop around cursing. The same thing will happen on any wheel BTW, if the pedal hanger becomes a pivot point that lifts the tire from the ground AND the tilt sensor hasn't shut the motor off, the wheel will dance and spin. Higher pedals increase the angle at which the pedal hanger hits the ground so you can get away with a larger allowable tilt angle before the motor is shut down. Top heavy wheels will probably lay on their side and not let the tire touch on the way over, the MTen seems designed for the 'dance'.

Lighter fluid should work. -
Greetings - Thought I would make a short posting on how to fabricate a socket for the purpose of removing the axle nut on the cable side of a EUC motor. What you will need - 24mm socket (deep preferably) Rotary/Dremel tool. A grinder could be used as well, but after some testing I found that the Dremel did the best job for me Disc(s) capable of cutting metal. I prefer the Dremel 426 cutting discs (3 mounted at a time*) Safety goggles I also use a couple of bricks to contain the sparks Process - Basically I start making notches at the edges and then even out the metal between. Keep at this process until you have made the slot large enough. It took me about hour to get it done and cleaned up using three 426 cutting blades*. After I finished the slot I grinded down the sharp edges and will hit it with a polishing bit later this evening. My first attempt was with the standard length socket on the right Not very even and lots of sharp edges. I obtained the long socket last night at a local hardware store. Second attempt was much better. I would suggest buying two sockets to start with if you are not familiar with grinding. This is a fairly easy project so long as you have the correct tools. It does take a bit of time to work through a deep socket, but it is well worth being able to remove your axle nuts without pinching motor cables or what not. -

The tilt cutoff angle only applies to the S18, it does not currently apply to any 16X firmware variant. -
Griffith Park is a great place to ride a bike, trike or Uni. No riding of wheeled vehicles is allowed off the paved roads in the park. -
Hi I am interested in finding out about your 18xl. Ron 303-521-3377
