  1. Very concise answer just look at the pictures. Otherwise slight explanation... P means parallel, S means Series, the number corresponds to the amount in series or parallel. See below (I don't really understand why some say 1p as you need two as a minimum to enable one to be next to the other. ie parallel. Maybe its to clarify it represents everything is only in series-who knows)
  2. I try not to speculate without seeing the wheel in person but this really bothers me atm. So we have to trust the design won't leak air and our inflation is spot on. I wonder why they no longer went with the Fastace implementation. Plus I hate the idea of the valve being on the bottom like the V11. But maybe its very well shielded from the elements and we have nothing to worry about.
  3. I sincerely apologise. I thought you were intelligent enough to be able to extrapolate the data.
  4. I'm guessing this wheel is geared up for heavier riders, hence the 4 shocks and beefier brackets etc which gives the 140Kg Max payload. Rated 20Kg more than other wheels. Time will tell.
  5. Relax! They have only banned rental e-scooters which is a good thing. You can still ride your privately owned e-scooter just like in Paris.
  6. Unlike your examples above EUC's don't have any gear, so there is no elephant in the room. The only way to increase speed is with voltage, we have no cogs to help*. https://www.theengineeringchoice.com/what-is-gear-ratio-and-how-to-calculate-a-gear-ratio/#:~:text=It seems that the gear,this is a simple calculation. https://www.kmpdrivetrain.com/final-drive/why-change-your-final-drive/#:~:text=A lower (taller) gear ratio,CWP) or ring and pinion. *yet (is it even worth the hassle to try)
  7. The best way to achieve this is to post a review of one of your wheels in the video section. Call it an audition. Tag @Jason McNeil. If you are very entertaining, engaging and personable with amazing editing and production values like @Ronin Ryder's latest piece then there is no reason why you wouldn't get very high likes and upvotes and then maybe you could join the youtube team without needing to replace anyone. Good luck.
  8. @BKW Just out of curiosity how old is your 16X?, Marty's wheel was a first batch demo with an assembly issue. If you have a waterproof, properly assembled wheel I still think the issue is very rare. But if others have had issues it would be good to hear about it.
  9. You don't know that for sure. No-one complains when a parachute is faulty. How do you know that the many wobble issues folk have had isn't also due to the wheel and its ability to dampen them. Just because people say its the lack of skill to blame, it could also mean that the Lynx is very unforgiving and takes a lot of skill/effort to tame.
  10. I have never heard of anyone during the last 4 years following this hobby having a hall sensor failure during normal use. Just the very rare issue or damaging of wires during a new tyre installation which is user error. So if it does occur its very very rare.
  11. I'm sorry you are going through this. Import tax, shipping and handling costs vary and then 20% VAT on top of all this. On their website (under FAQ) it does say they will sell to the UK without any tax applied. Very Rough example Fed ex shipping rate zone S (Spain)28Kg (shipping weight)= £272.90 https://www.fedex.com/content/dam/fedex/international/rates/fedex-rates-import-en-gb.pdf We are at the whim of customs and the codes they use, eg according to this for an electric vehicle there is no duty: https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/commodities/8703801010?country=ES#import_duties but this code (electric scooters under 250Watts) is 6%: https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/subheadings/8711600000-80 Plus the handling fee's, insurance etc of importers. so shipping cost £272+ (say 5% duty on cost if its £1350) £67.00= Total £339 (£406 including VAT). Then add to what you paid for the wheel and add VAT I would take @Spiwrs advice and buy local or try aliexpress from a vendor others have had no issues with.
  12. Ah I get you. This is my misunderstanding. You think the flex is due to loose bolts. So the riders who have experience of, or own other wheels only ever under torque their Leaperkim wheels and not their other ones. I wonder why this happens? or maybe they only notice it on Leaperkim wheels? Very strange. But the consensus is the Lynx et al are in majority a very good, stable wheel and don't really suffer these issues. So all good.
