I’d like to sell my Batch 2 Sherman S with 611 miles on it. It has 62lb springs. It’s never been crashed but it’s had 4 zero speed drops, so it has scratches on the corners and handles. It’s never been ridden in the rain I live in the Tricities area of Washington State but I happen to be in Tukwila for the weekend with the wheel. I’m asking $3,000 and includes Grizzla pads. I’d prefer not to ship it. It was purchased from ewheels so I might consider using their shipping discount. Edit: Sorry, the picture was too big and cut off. I’m trying to fix it. Edit 2: I should have also listed that it includes the original charger and the ewheels variable rate charger. I also have the LK upgraded pedals and trolly handle for it but they have not been installed.

Yep I tried all 3 of those suggestions with no luck.

Could someone recommend a cheap android phone for using the LK app for updating the Sherman S? I had a $40 Walmart phone but it didn’t work. The LK app just searches forever and when I try to connect Bluetooth it says the pairing request was rejected. Connection works fine on iPhone with Darknessbot.

I was using hard mode and switched to soft just to see how it felt and I found very little difference. I don’t feel much give in the wheel at all really. I’m not saying it’s not there, I’m just saying I don’t personally feel it.

Today was my breakthrough day. Wobbles are almost completely gone, cruising around 27-28mph without even realizing it until I looked down, lol. I never thought I had a need for speed but damn, it’s so easy on this thing. I’m getting a bit of upper leg fatigue now, clearly indicating that I’m engaging muscles that I wasn’t using on my smaller wheel.

I usually have a very loose stance and don’t clamp the wheel with my legs. With this I’m having to use leg pressure to calm down the wobble. When I relax is when they come back. But I’ve only got 50 miles on it so far. I’m sure it will get better.

It’s strange how different peoples experiences can be. He doesn’t like the cornering and has no wobbles. Mine corners great but I’ve got tons of wobble above 20 mph.

Mine does

This is incorrect. Of the 300 units worldwide there had been 2 reports of bearing issues. Not 2 out of 50. Ewheels had 150 units ready to ship and LK gave them the choice to ship them or wait a few weeks for a bearing upgrade. Ewheels had them ship 50 and change bearings on the remaining 100. The first 50 have arrived in the US and the remains 100 are crossing the sea right now.

I’m 190lbs but I’m going with the lighter spring because I never jump and only do minor off-road. I’m looking for comfort.

I thought we were all friends here. I guess not…

eWheels is fantastic and I will stand by them. However, it’s very frustrating that they collected payment with a message saying that wheels will ship “within the week” and it’s now 15 days later and we still don’t know. I’m 100% confident that they are acting in good faith. I also think it would be great if they were sending out daily updates, even if there is nothing new to report. Communication is the best cure for PDS (Preorder Derangement Syndrome) 🤪

At least they are reliable. I can rely on the certainty that my shipment will NOT arrive on the day that they say it will.

I’m pretty sure it’s an F’dEx problem. Seems like that happened with my last wheel. You’ll likely end up with one extra tracking number that doesn’t do anything for a few months and then vanishes. I got a notification for shipping tomorrow as well. I only got one tracking number this time though.

I’m glad I stuck with my S22 preorder. I had decided I would likely buy both but the weight of the V13 is just too much, and I have no need for that much speed. Hopefully the V14 will cut the weight and speed by about 40%. 35mph with a big safety margin would be perfect for me I think. I guess I was hoping for a V12 sized wheel with a reliable controller and suspension.
