Hey guys, my beeper and lift switch finally stopped working after 2 years of riding in torrential rain. Anybody got the part numbers for replacement? Hope I can avoid opening wheel just to check haha.

I used a tube for 2.5 inch tyres, 45° valve angle if i can recall correctly. Yep, it's comfy.

Yep it fits. Still loving it.

This one seems unlikely to fit without trimming imo. Do keep us posted if you do try it out

Mine was from taobao but I don't think that's accessible to most of us here. I found a 99% similar tyre here. Try this link Angry hornet for sure

Offroad with this feels like turning on infinite traction cheat in a videogame. Long grass, thick mud, roots, rocks, loose sand is all no issue now. Have scaled grass and clay hills that I could not even walk up. Had so much fun offroad that my wheel was clogged full off mud. In the streets, the thick rubber seems to make stair rides very comfortable and I have much more confidence going down stairs with this than any previous tyre. However I still cannot seem to get enough traction to ride up stairs consistently without slipping. Maybe it's my country's perpetually moist climate combined with slippery tiles and high steps, or my lack of skill. On wet asphalt, it's a little slippery in the first 500km, felt like the knobs were flexing in deep turns or something. As the knobs wore down a little shorter it became much grippier on wet and hard surfaces and I now feel just as much grip on this as with all my previous tyres. Would like to add that while riding this without cutting side knobs is possible, cutting them down with a very sharp knife will improve the ride much more without compromising on grip. Still scraping my pedals all the time and still haven't washed out on a deep carve bevore. Cutting them turned out to be way easier than I thought and I highly reccomend doing it.

Nope, have decided to take the back seat when it comes to new FW these days ever since kingsong's locking shenenigans. Still curious as ever though. Have been tempting myself and visiting this thread every single day since it was started.

That's news to me! I too eventually rolled mine back to 1.07 as well as the feeling of infinite torque when climbing impossibly steep hills trumps the feeling of effortless acceleration in the 40-50kph range for me. Wish KS would have switchable modes, high torque low speed limited to 50kph and low torque high speed limited to 60kph. Would be hell of a game changer. Understand that whether your wheel is geared for torque or speed is mostly decided by the motor windings and magnet size, but 2.00 on the 18XL and ninebot speed mods shows that changing the riding feel with firmware alone is at least possible to a limited extent.

Found one on aliexpress eventually. SG$ 22.34 | 60/100-12"2.75-12 Inch Tyre Tire + Inner Tube For Mini Pit Pro Trail Dirt Bike https://a.aliexpress.com/_mq9Mpol Btw I eventually decided to cut the side knobbies. It's perfectly rideable without cutting but rubs on one legged riding. Worth it and was way easier than expected. Didn't notice any decrease in performance after cutting, even when going low enough to scrape the pedals. Enjoy plowing right through thick mud and beach sand!

I suppose there are many factors to consider, first two being what model of wheel and rider weight. For my featherweight sub 60kg body, the 16x has handled countless curb drops and triple, quadruple, or even pentuple flights of stairs for a year with no problem whatsoever. Only risk so far is gapping too many stairs at a time with low tyre pressure. The rim isn't terribly strong. For the gt16, one flight or 10 stairs at a time is the best I can do. Any more and there would be terrible cogging. Mosfets are likely to blow before anything else. For the IPS S5, curb drops are difficult and curb jumps and stair drops are a downright no go. One misscalculation and the chinesium shell is gonna crack right open from the bottom up where it impacks the the curb. Knowing the limits of your wheel is something that takes time and practice, just work up to it slowly, don't rush it, and always wear protection. That being said, anyone knows the limits of the 84v nikola for curbs, jumps and stairs?

Sure, flowing with intent to navigate around actual obstacles takes skill. Swinging one's bum left and right blindly for no reason doesn't.

My dream EUC specs: High Torque 60kph Lift cut-off switch 18 x 3.0 tyres Open concept - tyres fully exposed like the 16x, GT16 and MSX series. Very important for offroading. High pedal clearance IP55 water resistance minimum Trolley handle mounted externally, to prevent water ingress. The current gen 4 section gt16 handle is pretty good. Maybe even better than my 16x in terms of comfort Battery - 1600 to 1800wh is enough in my opinion.

Here to find out as well. I doubt we are anywhere near KS finally giving us a little more top speed, but a man can dream.

Amen to that. Pisses me off when I see vids of people doing this in crowded areas. It adds no function to the ride, and really doesn't take any actual skill to pull off. Don't want to be a party pooper but i'd reserve this so called "Carving" or as the layman sees it "Wobbling" for unpopulated areas or empty roads..

A bunch of hacking gurus over at the ninebot forum mentioned that KS is basically unhackable for now.. Well it won't really be a waste for example if I manage to get my hands on a 18xl with a buggered motherboard, then instead of buying the 18xl board I buy a 16x board which costs basically the same. As for cutouts.. well i'll definitely be armouring up to the max if I ever manage to pull this off. 🤣
