No. 3600Wh are 3600Wh. In fact the OG Commander is known for above average range for the 3600Wh wheels. Maybe your tire pressure is really low on the Commander? Does your Commander charger charge it to a good voltage? What is the max voltage you can get on it? Not sure what is going on with the battery pack stickers. They seem to use 3.6V for a cell voltage (which is actually fine) but both wheels are 8p altogether. Maybe something custom is going on, they used to have 50.4V packs in series to make 100.8V for some wheels. Doesn't really matter though.

I'm afraid that sounds like a fried board. Is the tire "locked" (= very hard to move even when the wheel is off)?

$3500 Better price than I expected!

What happened to this wheel (and the Griffin)? No news?

Wow again.

Wow, I've imagined doing tours over those passes (Black Bear, Imogene, Engineer, ...) with a EUC! And you actually did! Also, wow the fall colors.

Heyo. I moved your thread to a better location, you will get more replies this way. Personally, I cannot recommend a V8 series wheel in this day and age. Falcon all the way!

Does the S19 count as similar enough? That's effectively the S18 successor, at least that's my interpretation.

I know of nothing that has changed. The admin was here recently, and could theoretically have applied a forum software update, but if that happened I didn't notice. Or these features simply do not work reliably - I recall seeing both things you mention, but not super regularly, so maybe they just happen when the moon is right but otherwise don't work?

Somehow I don't believe that

Looking forward to this wheel in the hands of testers! Looks nice, seems nice, pretty impressive they managed a Lynx-level wheel as their first. Any indications on price anywhere?

Heyo, I changed the title to be more meaningful

Heyo! You can PM when you are not longer a "Newest Member" (which you are no longer now). Sorry, we need this as a spam prevention method, otherwise spammers/bots make accounts and immediately send spam PMs about fake passports/certificates or "real maidens" or some Indian IT thing/fraud to everyone. This is why we keep the exact details murky and ask everyone not to publicly speculate or tell too much. It's very annoying for people like you or new members coming to buy via the Private Sales forum, but we can't do without this, unfortunately. Anyways, no longer your problem now, at least

@RickjamesYou can edit now, also there was no double post, must have been a display bug.

The wheel itself will beep at you when it gets too hot. Pretty sure Inmotions do that just like all other wheels. So you don't need an app. As far as temperatures go, the real danger is the temperature rising so quickly that the wheel fries before the beeps can kick in. So don't brutally force it steep uphill for a prolonged period of time (and even then it might just beep). If you are clear away from the top speed, you have a lot of power reserves anyways. The danger (of overpowering a wheel) is mostly being close to max speed and then accelerating hard in combination. Finally, if you want to ride "dynamic" and zoom around and do quick (fun!) starts and just go faster and don't even think about hills (or braking downhill), you can get a more powerful wheel. I don't like the V8 series very much because on one hand they feel a bit meek, but on the other hand they are good and strong enough so you might never consider that you are missing out on sweet performance wheel (which is pretty much every modern wheel).

The V8S is not the strongest wheel, but I wouldn't worry too much. If you are going a constant speed (uphill or not), then the stress on the wheel is constant, and it has no reason to suddenly cut out (unless the hill is crazy steep and the wheel fries before it can warn you of overheating). You're right that the acceleration (uphill or not) is where the danger lurks, but unless you are strongly accelerating on a steep hill (especially near top speed) I don't think you can overpower a V8S that easily. The wheel will also warn you unless the stress comes too fast. And you're quite light. So just ride relaxed (not fearful!) and don't do crazy things (e.g. strong acceleration at high speed or on very steep hills) and give the wheel opportunity to complain if you push it too much. For the rest risk (however small it is) you have wrist guards and a (full face, ideally) helmet

"Cheaper" trail wheel (as opposed to race wheel, that would be the Blitz).

Don't say crazy things like that, people might think you are serious!

If you google for paragliding here you'll find a bit (mostly very old threads, but yet). I believe there is some overlap between EUC riders and flyers, maybe just cool people with cool hobbies tend to have multiple cool hobbies. You can also use a EUC as a small vehicle to get to a remote launching point, a vehicle that can then fly with you. Well, maybe not today's 40kg monsters, but a lighter one. I'd like to mention hang gliding, the bigger brother of paragliding. It works exactly like a EUC - you control it exclusively by shifting your weight around to which the glider reacts, plus there may be a little cord to adjust your stiffness, akin to the ride mode (soft/hard) you set on a EUC. It's so similar I consider hang gliders the EUCs of the sky, and EUCs are almost hang gliders on the ground. IIRC our very own @Marty Backeused to hang glide.

Keeping the wheel roughly at room temperature would be a good idea. Don't let it go close to freezing or even below, unless you want to ruin your batteries and have a potential danger if you recharge damaged batteries. My motto is: if you wouldn't do it to a dog, don't do it to your wheel. Like simply keeping it in a garage in the Canadian winter. That's wheel abuse

Exactly, that was the only reason. Similarly, I assume they don't want people to find the originally planned specs when googling F22, so they named it F22 Pro to distinguish it more clearly and prevent confusion (and create more hype/excitement before release, maybe).

Oh no, how much is this going to cost (if KS ever actually release something)? 176.4V is cool, though, if only because the others may want to react to this new, higher voltage. Not sure if ~50kg is too much for a 3100Wh wheel. The 3000Wh X-Way is almost 10kg less. I guess this has more features and is built different, but still...

Hi. Depending on your location, it can be tricky to find a used EUC. But since you are (somewhat) close to California, I think you have some good chances. Have you checked what is available in the Bay Area? Maybe a trip to the beach in combination with a EUC buy might get you what you want. Otherwise, be patient until something nice pops up. I don't know of any local groups or something like that which could help you, but someone else maybe knows. As for buying used, the second half of this post hopefully helps you:

A 168V Blitz, makes sense! 41kg is pretty good compared to other wheels of this class, is it not?

The V12 is 100.8V, so 84V is quite empty. If you have no lights on the charger, I would say the charger is broken. Otherwise I think the light would be green when the wheel accepts no charge. I'm not 100% sure about this, though. Not good, but you can just ask your seller to send you a new charger, that would be an overall rather easy fix
