    • Well, there goes any interest I might have had in the Falcon (and honestly, the T4 as well). Those overpower tests were disappointing. I was looking at getting a lighter, zippier wheel but there's no point if the wheel will drop me. Begode really needs to stick a full-sized controller in these wheels. I guess that'll increase the price, but what's the point of putting 50S cells in if the controller is underwhelming? As the video quite rightly states, the motors should be fully capable of providing enough torque if the motherboards could supply the current, they'll just get hotter (and only if the user is regularly pushing the wheel that hard). I suppose these sorts of wheels really are just designed for a lower market segment, so they take the excuse to cheap out on the controller and fatten those margins a bit :'( I'm probably applying an unfair standard - I want these wheels to be enthusiast-class with the same torque as eg. my master, which is for all practical purposes impossible to overpower..
    • Owwww ~ thanks for keen comment and gathering Steven’s attention to my *come back to the EUC family 😅. I’ve tried to find Steven and Gasmantle, but I messed up something .., it was showing no results? I was hoping.., you may mention about me at some point, so they’ll know I’m back ❤️    I’ve never have tried on Steven’s big wheel, because the look of it was overwhelming me, as it was my big step to move from beginner’s wheel (I’ve forgot the name of this small white wheel… Inmotion?). Z10 was obvious choice ~ riding it with easy has made me like home … Where the greater speed and weight of Steven’s MSX was discouraging me a lot. I remember he did ask me if I’d like to try, I refused ~ I just didn’t want taking a risk of scratching his wheel in case of dropping it… I think Z10 was a wise choice back then, but later I was questioning myself whether it really was… It became a well known wheel very soon, it was making me a bit nervous while riding it, because the fat tyre was taking me off the track catching up on random edges 😅 At about half battery % it was reducing the top speed too… Making my commuting home a bit unpleasant sometime. So at some point I started regretting the purchase if you know I mean. But it was only minor flaws I wasn’t 100% happy with. It was a perfect wheel for step up for sure, and it has provided a lot of experience, fun and best commuter companion ever 👍 This is why I was keen to buy it again! Knowing it pros/cons was making buying it again no brainer 😅    Before me another step up my friend. Thank you for kind encouragement. You know the difference in riding very well already, it’s all before me… I bet it will take me some time to feel comfortable riding it, but there’s no rush, isn’t it 😉 I’ll start gently, around the house, to get feeling of it just right, and from that point I’ll move on wisely. The confidence will come in time… Thank you for looking after me Planemo.    
    • The summer season is coming, it may have integrated air conditioning.
    • I am having this issue as well Logs and csv seems to record on the phone.  And at the end of the tour, the map shows and everything. But it doesn't show on the website.  my username is "murdomeek" Is this a paid feature? Thanks  
    • Does anyone know the thermistor model of V5F BMS? Maybe 1K ohm or 100 ohm? There seems to be something wrong with my thermistor. The resistance values vary greatly every time I measured. My room temperature is about the same, the resistance values are sometimes around 60 ohm, sometimes greater than 600 ohm, sometimes around 100 ohm. I also measured different parts of the same trace to rule out bad contact situation, and the resistance value was sometimes stable and sometimes widely fluctuating. I guess maybe the bad thermistor is the reason for "low battery" warning and the inability to charge. Maybe the bad thermistor triggered overheating protection on the BMS.
    • I have this on one of my wheels. Nothing is cracked. I think the pedal rod isn't super straight so that when things flex there is some movement.
    • Did you check the voltage the charger gives? This charger is known to have bad calibration and can be tuned easily. 
    • Awesome! Good stuff, it's a sound wheel for sure, and will give you plenty of safety headroom for the sort of lowish speeds I know you are looking to ask from it. Just remember that it will be a fair bit more cumbersome at low low speeds compared to the Z! But you will certainly relish the beautiful neutral handling on any surface at anything above 10mph. This was the jaw-dropping difference I noticed when going from my Z to the MSX - the smoothness and the wheel not wanting to fight you was an utter revelation Tagging @stephen in case he hasn't seen the thread and fancies a back-to-the-fold ride buddy!
    • I am tinkering with my begode T4 and have trouble putting the bracket back on after removing the 4 screws. I can't push it far enough against the spring where i can place the screw through. Is there a certain tool to use or is it brute force to place the bracket into position? https://imgur.com/a/ZHnLMFD    
    • Well I think that MMA head mask is actually gonna be quite good at protecting his head from impact damage if he can only stop it sticking to the ground and ripping right off. Likewise that front mask could work to protect his face if he could only keep it in place. I know we can't say never but I think a direct bonk to the top of the head in an EUC accident is quite unlikely, and hair of that magnitude and robustness will do something to protect his skull briefly unless it gets prolonged contact with the road.
