Sorry. Missed the notification. No. The shell damage are just small cracks at the v8's weak spot around where the trolley handle comes out. I applied some superglue and I am very confident on waterproofness at those area.

Sorry. Local pick up only.

I'll DM you.

Yes. It is available.

Hi, I have a V8 for sale in the north west suburb of Chicago area. 1524 total miles, some shell damages and scratches, fully functional and rides well. Have other wheels and don't ride as much these days. Local pick up and cash only. $500 $400

1. Head light will be brighter with different LEDs from the prototype. 2. Adjustable hangers will be black instead of silver. 3. Trolley handle will have a different angle so it is easier to use. Not sure what else will change but most likely the firmware will change.

That's pretty sweet if a manufacturer design a wheel with slots that can insert 4-8 of these kind of batteries before a new generation of battery is invented. Ideally for the future, I hope there will be a new type of battery that's completely stable so no rule is to be created to limited the transportation of it at all. As far as I know, the current rule regarding battery is only for lithium iron chemistry.

What I really want as the technology improves is a wheel that is MTen3 sized, mid to long range, 25-30mph, can be taken on a commercial flight. Which means a battery technology that is not combustible. That will open up so many more places I can explore with a wheel, different cities, parks, countries, compare to now limited to where I can reach mostly with ground transportation. In fact, now I think about it, I want that non-combustible battery in every wheel.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

Is this info correctly translated? When the caption stated 60 kmh in the video, the touchscreen clearly has 70kmh on the slider UI.

Just a light aircraft rental. I am fine with V11's weight. It's the size of my particular V11 with powerpads, fly pads, and hence the un-closeable thick honeycomb footpads made it unwieldy. V10F would probably be great for this purpose, but for $1500, $2200 is worth it for me to get much more wheel than the 20 extra pounds. If owning a large amount of different wheels is not a problem, it'd be great to have wheels for each purpose. But at least for now, I'll have to contend for wheels that serve multiple purposes. Yeah I saw that teardown. Hopefully it won't be too bad. So far with other wheels, I tend to take lines with more gravels than dirt and watch for the types of debris that I want to avoid. I haven't had too much problem with mud. My concern with those grooves has more to do with wet snow, because my current wheels already have snow jamming in there sometimes.

Talking about offloading, I am actually looking forward to take the V12 for it. About half of my riding is on single tracks. Like other has pointed out, V11 is great at offroading. The suspension just smooths out so much and makes the ride so fluid. V11 made offroad into easy mode. It's almost too great at it. But that's also the reason I took the mten3 offroad instead sometimes. It's has a lot more "fun" moments. Now the V12 with a smaller than V11 wheel and no suspension, hopefully it will offer a more challenging and "fun" fill ride. In my mind, it's similar to my motorcycle days. I went from 250cc to liter super sport and back to 300cc. The liter was fast and fun for a while, but the rush of speed wore off quickly. It's almost too smooth and stable at speed, unless I was way too fast I wasn't even aware of it. Like the saying, "it's more fun riding the slow bike fast than riding the fast bike slow," I personally experienced it. In the same fashion, V12, being more challenging offroad, may offer the "fun" I am chasing after.

I own a V11 and I have a V12 on pre-order. The target of this wheel is me exactly. To clarify, I am not selling the V11. V11 serves perfectly as my cruising wheel. I have been looking to for a 16 inch wheel to take with me on trips. I have been using the V8 for that purpose. Problem with the V8 is that the range is not enough for me sometimes. I have to carefully plan where I can go at places I am not familiar with. There are times I barely made it back to the car or plane. When I look at all the 16 inch wheel available, there is always something that hold me back from purchasing. It's either the weatherproof-ness, build quality, range, speed, or something just not quite satisfactory. When the V12's spec leaked with the FCC doc, I thought this might be something to keep an eye on. And when evX's video dropped, I know this is it. This is what I am waiting for. On paper, this is the EUC I have always wanted. The build quality, weather resistance, lights, speakers, fat 16 inch tire, 100v performance, range, good trolly, it's has all I am asking for. The modern look and convenience of touchscreen with the on board customizability are icing on the cake. Now that was what's on paper and in my mind. When the production model gets in my hand, it might or might not be completely satisfactory. But if it's even close to my experience with the V11, I'll be happy.

5. The animated LED is just for look. The red LED when you stop represents roughly the current battery level.

Yeah, it's not really needed. I took my MTen3 to single track on the weekends many time. It's totally fine.
