I think the time of counting batches is past and there haven't been any changes.

I second this. It's exactly the thing that got me riding after messing around for a while. Stand up next to a pole or wall or something at first, but you can't really get a feel for how it properly behaves like that because you're shifting a lot of weight and focus to that handhold. I was trying to walk along a fence, trying to stay on dirt and grass so it would hurt less when I fell, and that was all crap. A nicely paved parking lot was my best option. You'll need to trust that it won't let you fall on your face or your back. Just lean forward and you'll notice that it feels a lot like a bike - it's easier to keep side-to-side balance when you're moving. That, plus appropriate padding (elbows, knees, and wrist guards are what I felt best with on day one) will give you the confidence to just start riding pretty quick. Oh, speaking of padding and day one - I developed a NASTY bruise with some bleeding right above my ankle while I was learning on the V11. It may just be something about how I managed to fall off or it may be that when your weight leaves the pedal, the suspension throws that pedal HARD into your leg. Even with a knee/shin guard, that spot on the inside of your leg just above your ankle is totally unprotected. Anyhow, I went to Dollar Tree, bought the biggest flip-flops I could find, pulled out the "straps", added a little tape and Velcro, and made myself a little custom pad for sitting right there above my ankles. Once I was better at it, I didn't need those pads anymore but man, they saved me some serious pain as I felt the pedal smashing those pads repeatedly while I learned. You may have a different experience but hey, an extra pair of cheap flip-flops is never a bad thing to have on-hand. Oh, and also, I got a full face helmet shortly too because I was riding at 15mph by the end of day one and going any faster than that feels awful scary for my beautiful face. You can look around here for the best advice for helmets and pads but the typical answer will be "the really expensive ones are the best and your surviving a crash is worth that many dollars," and I'm not going to argue against that point. Just know that a full-face motorcycle helmet can make it awfully hard to have any kind of conversation, and your lens will almost definitely fog in the winter no matter what you do; because you live in Ohio.

I reached out to the seller, he said he could ship for a little extra so now I'm just waiting till I get paid on friday or when the refund from ebay hits. There is another one for sale on FB marketplace thats an hour away from me. I might pick it up if this one falls through.

I can confirm the monster on ebay is the same monster I saw on FB marketplace

Currently looking for a gently used v11 with street tires. Needs to have charger and obviously batteries need to be able to be fully charged. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it!

i don't think my new selfie stick can handle raw land but i'll figure out some way to get this shot. https://youtu.be/S0nJ165sYE0?si=hZ_ejmghAmy2lfu7

Pro tip - when you have both feet on pedals - start falling on your face fast as possible. (Trust fall, but forwards) By doing that you will start riding forwards. < That gave me the most problems when i was learning - I simply wasn't leaning/falling enough to start going.... I had originally CST-1488 it has that "smooth/slick" middle part and i can say that K66 knobby rides way, way better in snow/mud/dirt. But on asphalt and smooth ground - it's only louder by noise.. Because of then Knobbs.

When doing tire change - if you take tube and feel slime is "slushing" around in the tube itself - you have enough in it. In my case it's 2-3 ounces.

u know what else is so cool about this design, i don't need another one of hou's backplates to try new pedals, i just can use the extra optional pedal mounts supplied in the first inmotion v13's. four bolts each side. and i'm sure hou already has in the works a 55mm drop with adjustable forward positions for asymetrical riders.

Yikes that blows. I suppose any wheel for sale without a charger is going to be higher risk of being stolen, so also higher risk of being a scam. Sucks bad that your money is now tied up for a few days... I don't know anything about Facebook marketplace, I don't know if it's safe like ebay generally is. I also don't know if shipping is included in that $1200 V11 somebody posted here. I think I MIGHT have seen the Monster 100V wheel on ebay, the one you said you saw on Facebook. The one on ebay is the Monster V3 not the Monster Pro like I thought, which means the battery is only the same size as a V11, and it's much much older electronics technology and parts are basically non-existent. I'd stick with the V11 direction you wisely chose...

There is a seller in Ohio…sells new wheels at a discount. On Fleabay…..but no support like dealers such as Ewheels. Have you looked through the private sales here ?

OP last visited inDec….one post total. Wouldn’t hold my breath.

Yeah for sure. I said verbatim that I am not comfortable with paying additional cash after a completed sale and that its very inappropriate to offload your "cost" or unforeseen expenses on a customer after the sale. Ill keep an eye on things for the next few days and re-evaluate after I get my money deposited back.

Hope you *respectfully* (cough, cough) declined.

Crisis averted for now I guess

Is the Patton comfortable cruising at 35-45mph? How low into the battery can 35-40mph be achieved (50s cells)?

Well I have disappointing news. I may have gotten scammed. Seller tried to gouge me for additional money after the sale.

What batch is the lynx on now? Any updates in newer production?

I too felt that I noticed a worse ride after I slimed the tube. The key would be to use the minimum (effective) amount of slime: but how do you know how much that is? The bottle might say something on the topic, but slime's liner-notes are written with bicycles in mind, or sewing machines, or farm equipment, or whatever, in any case somewhat different from electric unicycles.

Actually you might want to message the seller and ask if the charger is included. It just might be included I suppose.

ur ride description and weight, i think this would be perfect. https://www.newegg.com/ninebot-z10/p/03Z-0085-00005 here's one with best offer. probably buy it for $1000. if i lived in an urban environment, this would be my go to wheel. u can drop the tire pressure considerably and get shock absorption from the tire. great wheel, u just gotta keep up with the batteries. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156086878645

Didn't ask me but I will answer anyway. Take a look at Lynx and Patton range tests. Unless they are regulated by speed and acceleration to be as close to each other as possible, they pretty much end up being pretty close to each other. Doesn't make sense, Lynx is 2700wh and Patton is 2220wh? Yeah, but Lynx has more torque and as such is faster to accelerate to the same speed. Faster acceleration always means more power draw, logically. But yeah of course the riding style plays a huge part in the range tests. It's just that when you got the power available, you are more likely to use it then, even if you don't mean to. I'm pretty sure a 151v 3600wh Sherman S would lose to the OG Sherman S in a range test if they would just be done without thinking too much about acceleration and such, but keeping the max speeds pretty close to each other. But the 151v would probably be a lot more fun to ride, no doubt about it. Either way might be a while until you see it. It could use Lynx's motherboard and motor (to cut down the weight a little bit) but that would leave two options. Either a 36s5p battery (3240wh, 151v and uhhh 180 cells in total) or a 36s6p battery (3888wh, 151v and 216 cells). Assuming it still uses 50E cells. OG Sherman S has a 24s8p battery so 192 cells, so the existing battery cases would fit the first configuration just fine, but probably not the second one. I'm not even 100% certain that it will be using the Sherman S's look, probably will be a new design. One option would also be 168v. 40s5p is exactly 3600wh, 168v and exactly 200 cells. But it would require a new design for the controller. Either way I think that their next wheel is one with a big battery again. Hopefully they can keep the weight the same or under the Sherman S. Most likely not going to be switching my Sherman S anytime soon since I feel like it fits my needs more than enough, my next wheel is probably going to have to be a major upgrade in several departments, most importantly weight, range and power. When I can get a wheel with similar range as the Sherman S, sub 40kg and more power and torque I might consider it, but as of right now I think that is pretty much impossible to do with current technology. Maybe in a few years.

Yeah and that one had lots of extras, while yours doesn't even include a charger. Besides a charger of the right voltage (84v), you'll want to get some power pads eventually so you can make the wheel accelerate and brake on command. Keep us posted!
