    Thank you! So it's 4800mAh and 3.6V, which comes out to less than 1420Wh. Still more than the S18
  2. meepmeepmayer
    Wow, scary!

    You mean these? https://www.instagram.com/mono_customize/

    When I first saw it, I thought it looks strange and needlessly complicated compared to Inmotion's solution. But I can appreciate that they suspended the entire wheel (sans motor+tire), which looks damn cool if you think about it! Now I'm a fan of the crazy looks.

    I don't want to watch this Could somebody tell me why he faceplanted? Was it the wheel itself or an external reason? Your minimum gear is my gear! Ever since I got my helmet, I don't want to ride without it at all. You get used to it and then feel unsafe without.

    No. Also I never go over my 35kph beeps anyways. Also no Autobahn needed to speed test, not that I would do a speed test. It's like 3 levels of "No"

    http://kebye.com/ (official Gotway website) list the battery cell type for many of their wheels.

    V11 is 4p which has been proven good with the 1800Wh Nikola and MSX/MSP which are 4p also (albeit 100V). Probably 3p is fine, too. KS must know more than we do.

    Now you can.

    I have to admit that was a clever joke I didn't get Everyone be nice to one another, assume the best, and understand that not everyone is a native English speaker and that things can be misinterpreted in various ways
  11. meepmeepmayer
    Can someone explain the 1420Wh number of the V11 (instead of 1480Wh)? 80 cells * 3.7V per cell * 5000mAh cells = 1480Wh. You can go by 4800mAh per cell (with 3.7V) to get to 1420, or by 3.55V nominal per cell (with 5000mAh) to get to 1420. Is it one of those options? Something else?

    Wow, life can change fast! I hope you're ok now. Was the heart attack related to the EUC? Maybe a blood clot got got loose from the excercise? Or was it unrelated? Simply bad luck? All the best!
  13. meepmeepmayer
    Very likely yes! It's sleek and light and has a suspension for comforty goodness. You can always get a "bigger" wheel later if you want more range or speed. But it will be a huge improvement over your V8. I wouldn't call it a battery problem. The battery just isn't as big and bad as some people would (rightfully) like. Let's just see how it works out when the wheel is released and used before going into panic mode.

    Pictures of coronavirus Easter weekend 2020 riding. Empty Autobahn. This is not how it normally looks. This would be the way to Austria and Italy, both have their borders closed. Glorious weather. There's an ACM hidden in the shadow and a view hidden in the distance.

    There's the obvious and equally simple solution. Redesign side panels (add bumps), make it two layers of batteries instead of one, 2*1420Wh = 2840Wh, boom! V11Xtreme or something! Too bad it's too awesome to be realistic
  16. meepmeepmayer
    I hope you're right!! No argument from me there 2020 has been a very surprising year for EUCs, so maybe it will keep going.
  17. meepmeepmayer
    In principle, it would work. It's just 20 extra cells. But it would be a wiring mess, as all four 5-packs would need to be connected to one BMS. Probably the worst way to add 20 cells Having two 10-packs or one 20-pack somewhere would be easier.
  18. meepmeepmayer
    Yes, probably it isn't going to be a performance wheel (and isn't supposed to be!). They did not plan for the 18XL. They had a super nice new battery casing for the 18L and then cut away plastic struts from the side panels and put in a foiled battery just so it would work out (barely). With the S18, I don't see where they could add more battery even if they wanted to! At least they would have to do a serious redesign, unlike the 18XL they could barely be convinced to produce (apparently). I'll be happily surprised by a S18 with bigger battery, but I wouldn't bet on it, going by King Song's past behavior. But maybe it is too early to tell. They can always change their mind once the wheel is released and they see the sales numbers, dealer comments, etc.

    People are concerned that the 3p battery is too easy to overpower for a performance wheel, which is what they want the S18 to be. (The motor rating doesn't really matter for this.) - Power is what you want. More maximum power = good, naturally. You can do more with a higher margin. Power = voltage * current. The voltage is (in first approximation) always the same, that's just the charge state of your battery at any point in time. So current availability is where you can influence the peak power. (Peak) Current scales with the number of parallel battery cell blocks. 3p has 3 in parallel, 4p has 4. So 4p has 4/3 times more maximum current and therefore maximum power if everything else is the same. In addition, less p means a higher voltage drop. The voltage naturally drops when the battery is stressed, and it drops faster when distributed among less parallel blocks, so this also reduces the peak power by reducing the voltage faster. People are concerned that the battery is too easy to overpower, because at least on paper it looks like that. Many say that 3p isn't enough for a performance wheel. They are worried about early speed reductions, conservative firmware behavior, limited speed, etc. We'll see how it works out in reality with the new type 21700 cells. Also I'm not sure this is supposed to be the performance wheel that people wish it was.

    Nothing wrong with aftermarket parts if they match the application well. No need to reinvent the wheel (there might be a pun in there somewhere). That's a really good point! In the end, people always look at speed.
  21. meepmeepmayer
    I'm pretty sure this is the case. A few kph make a huge range difference, especially at high speeds. On the other hand, if a wheel makes you go faster, that still means it will have less range

    Something that hasn't been talked about yet. From this picture (credit goes to EcoDrift) it looks like the V11 has some seriously nice board housing. I wonder how nice the battery housing will be.
  24. meepmeepmayer
    MSP. That's the one I would want. Which one do you want?
  25. meepmeepmayer
    Just compare battery sizes, especially if it's just between Gotway wheels: Nikola 84V or MSX 84V - 1600Wh (1531.8Wh in real). Nikola 100V, MSX 100V, MSP - 1800Wh (1776Wh) Nikola 100V, MSX 100V - 1845Wh/1860Wh (1838.2Wh) MSX 84V 1859Wh (1787.1Wh) That should be 95% of how it really is. - Do you have to be below $2000? There's the Nikola 2100Wh 84V for example... about the same price as the 1800Wh, and naturally you'll have more range then.
