So to reduce the confusion, you don't have to do this, of course. But if you ever find that braking downhill could be better, move the feet forward so you can put all the weight on the back edge of the pedals (however you must reposition your feet to do that, probably a bit back). And likewise, if you think going up a long steep hill makes the wheel slow down too much and is uncomfortable to keep the speed, move the feet back so you can put all your weight on the front edge of the pedals (however you must reposition your feet to do that, probably a bit forwards). It simply allows you to easier force (tilt) the wheel to brake or accelerate. It's a notably different stance from just normal riding in moderate flat areas.

No. This is just to help you put more force on the pedals so the wheel behaves like you want. That isn't needed for short ramps etc. (unless you stop and start on one). But most people will have an asymmetric stance (one foot more forward, one more backward) for the same effect during normal riding. Just better acceleration and braking possible. Hills aren't really so special, you just need practice, and don't be afraid of them.

Hi! If you go down a hill, it helps to put the feet more forward backward on the pedals than usual. So you can push all your weight directly into the end of the pedals. This allows you to "dig the heels in" and to put maximum pressure on the pedals for braking and gives you a safer feeling because you can control (brake) the wheel better (more easily). Likewise, if you go up a hill, it helps to put the feet further back forward on the pedals than usual. This allows you to put all the weight on your toes/front of the feet and put good pressure on the front of the pedals, so the wheel tilts forward and accelerates up the hill, and you have better control for this. If you start on a hill (down or up), these changed foot positions also make it easier to start because the wheel doesn't try to run away from you (downhill) or refuse to accelerate like normal (uphill). In addition, if the hill is very steep, start sideways and then turn into the direction you want to go.

I don't believe so. If anything, it would even help against overextending the wrist. But if it's loose like that, it will do nothing.

Summary: You can host pictures as an attachment directly on this forum, or you can host pictures using an image host or a general cloud storage provider. For videos, it is best to use YouTube or another video site (unless the video is short/small, then it will work fine as an attachment). Copy and paste any external picture's full address/URL (= hotlinking) or any YouTube video's youtube.com full URL/address to directly display (= embed) the picture or Youtube video in your post. Avoid shortened or "Share" links, they do not embed. - Full post: Attachments on this forum This forum has an attachment functionality that allows you to upload pictures (and other files). Below the text entry box of any new post or topic, there is the option to add a picture or other file as an attachment. Any new attachment will be uploaded and shown in a list. Click/tap into your post where you want to show the picture or a link to the file, then click/tap on the picture or file in the list to insert it into your post at that spot. (Otherwise it will be uploaded but not shown anywhere for now. As you can see, you can of course insert an already existing attachment and insert your new attachments later or in other places.) This is your last chance to delete any new attachment, with the little "x" in the list. You currently cannot delete attachments after they have been posted. Of course you can edit anything out of your posts so nothing will be shown, but the attachments themselves will stay (a list of them is in your profile). If you need an attachment deleted, please contact the site staff. For better management of uploaded pictures and other files, please use an external image host or cloud storage provider of your choice. For a few quick pictures the attachment functionality is very easy. You can even directly paste a picture from your clipboard! (Right click/long tap + select "Paste", or CTRL+V, or SHIFT+INSERT, or by clicking/tapping "choose files" and selecting the clipboard.) Your space for attachments is up to ~1GB for most people. If you need more space, you can use an image host or contact the site staff so we can give you more space. Videos tend to take a lot of space, so we recommend using YouTube or another video hosting site for your videos (at least if they are longer than "very short"). The attachment functionality is not available for very new users ("Newest Members") to prevent abuse. Sorry! If you post a bit you should quickly move from "Newest Members" to "Members" which will allow you to use the attachment functionality. Uploading Pictures to an Image Host If you want to post a lot of pictures (and maybe organize them neatly), we recommend using an image host. An image host is a website specialized to store your images so the general public can see them online. There are tons of free ones, so choose the one you like best. They are usually frictionless and quick to use. Examples are https://postimages.org/, https://imgbb.com/, https://imgur.com/, or https://flickr.com/. Many image hosts allow quick and anonymous uploading without an account. Beware, that means you cannot delete images after the fact (but you can edit them out of your posts on this forum). Simply paste a picture's address (URL) in the text entry box and it will display - see below. Uploading Videos Videos are best hosted on YouTube or another video site. YouTube videos can be embedded in your post instead of just showing the link. Simply paste the full youtube.com address (URL) and the video should embed automatically - see below. Pictures and videos from your cloud storage You can also post pictures (and other things) from your personal cloud storage like Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, etc. Cloud storage is usually meant for your private data. If you post a picture or other thing from your cloud storage, make sure the permissions are set to public so everyone can see it. Careful! It may display correctly for you because you are logged in to your cloud storage, but other people cannot see what you posted. Best to check in another browser or from another device (where you are not logged in to your cloud storage) that the general public can see what you posted. Cloud storage is often finicky and problematic when you just want to directly embed (display) a picture, e.g. iCloud is a bitch, Google works 50% of the time, etc. If you have problems there, use a dedicated image host instead. How to display pictures in a post - "Help, my pictures won't show!" To display a picture which has been uploaded as an attachment to this forum, place your cursor into the text entry box where you want to display the picture, and then below the text entry box click on the picture in your list of newly uploaded files, or choose "Other Media" and then "Insert existing attachment" if it is an already existing attachment, to insert the picture. To display a external picture in your post, simply copy and paste its full address (URL) into your text entry box. It will automatically display instead of showing the link. You see right away that it embeds (or when it doesn't embed and you just get a text link). Do not use the "link" button in the tool bar, because it will produce a clickable text link instead of directly displaying the picture. But if you want to produce a clickable text link and not display the picture, this is how you do it. Many websites and image hosts will not give you an easy way to get the full image URL and will provide only a shortened embed link of some kind (they want to lure you and your image viewers to their site for engagement). This often happens if you use a provided "Share" button. Usually these short embed links don't work when pasted into the forum, and the picture will not display, instead you only get a text link. Choose the place to host your images also by how frictionless it is to get the full URL of an image. HTML code and similar also won't work. If the picture doesn't embed into your post on this forum, you have to manually copy and paste it's full URL (hotlinking). You can get the full URL by right-clicking the image (or long-tapping on mobile) and choosing "copy image address" or "copy link" (or similar) in your browser. Here's an example: This picture has been uploaded to https://imgbb.com/, and they provide this shortened embed link to copy and paste for you. This one: But it displays only as text link, not as a photo! (If you click it, it goes to their site.) Right-clicking the image and choosing "copy image address" gives the full URL: If you paste the full URL into a post, it will display as image, like this: Are you pasting a direct link but the image still does not embed? Sometimes it is the text formatting of the link! You can copy the link into a text editor or your browser's address bar (or any other place that won't care about text formatting), and copy it again from there. This should lose the text formatting, and the image will be properly embedded when you paste its newly copied address into the forum's text entry box. How to display videos in a post - "Help, my YouTube video won't embed!" To embed a YouTube video, copy and paste its youtube.com URL into your post. Here's an example of a full YouTube URL: Note how it is "youtube.com". Pasting the link will automatically embed the video, like this: Do not use the "link" button in the tool bar, because it will produce a clickable text link instead of embedding the video. But if you want to produce a clickable text link and not embed the video, this is how you do it. Pasting a shortened YouTube link will not embed the video. You get such a shortened link by using YouTube's "Share" functionality. Here's the shortened link for the same video: Note how it is "youtu.be". Pasting this link will not embed the video, you only get a text link. Some other sites like Facebook, Instagram, Reddit will allow you to embed a post on this forum, which might contain a video. This tends to work semi-reliably. You can always try and see if it works for you. - Tip: We have a Testing forum, where you can make test posts to try everything and see if everything works as you want it to.

You're not the only one! They have all the components to print money if they just decide to do it. Baffling this hasn't happened yet. Oh well, one has to be immune to incomprehensible Chinese EUC manufacturer decisions unless you want to go crazy

Nice price!

Nice and sturdy. I would cover the top with something soft so it won't scratch the wheel over time.

It's just in the Wheellog options. Swipe from the left border of the screen to open the Wheellog options menu, and the amp alarm can be set somewhere in there. Careful, everytime I open the Wheellog options, my wheel beeps twice like a setting has been changed but I don't know what it is. I reset my setting using the Gotway app after this each time so I don't disable my speed beeps or accidentally get an unexpected tiltback. And don't be worried about some number displayed by the app. See it as a mathematical articfact, the mten3 battery certainly cannot do 150 amps (more like 50 in a real spike, so I guess the 90 amp alarm doesn't make too much sense either). And your wheel won't be damaged by these (fake) spikes anyways, even if they were real (they're not). It's just a normal part of riding that these spikes (real or not) appear when you change direction or otherwise put a quick power spike on the wheel. In short, there's nothing to worry about, and looks like you don't even need a 90 amp warning

It was just the bad motor connector time. I don't know if there were ever problems with those on the 67.2V wheels, but if there were, maybe best to just solder the wires together.

2016 means 67.2V? Just be careful with hills, it might have the oooold shitty motor connectors.

I can't recall the ms3 ever having axle problems. And 90kg is't that much.

Inmotion uses 3200mAh cells as their max capacity. They could easily use 3500mAh cells and get a 1036Wh battery like any other 80-cell wheel (Tesla, 18L, ...). That's what @Rywokast meant with "higher capacity cells". They could instantly do that with all their wheels: V8+ with 510Wh (instead of 480), V10F+ with 1036Wh (instead of 950Wh). It's a 10% difference.

What would you even google for? Every other vehicle (car, scooter, ...) moves and drags your body with it. A self-balancing vehicle (EUC, Onewheel, ...) instead follows your body (specifically your weight shifts) and if it didn't, you would immediately lose balance and crash. That's what "self-balancing" entails. So if you lean, the wheel has no option but to comply until it can comply no more (well, it could just prematurely crash you right then, but that doesn't make things better). Tiltback and beeps are just enticements to slow down the rider, but if the rider ignores them, nothing the wheel can do. The vehicle following your body (instead of the other way round) is what makes EUCs so intuitive and fun. But you get what you paid for - only the rider is in control at all times, for better or worse.

If that is true, that totally disqualifies the 21700s for EUC usage. They can get that hot just from the wheel standing in the sun or something, let alone any real usage! I sincerely hope that's false and Gotway isn't developing right towards a firestorm with their 21700 initiative.

Sweet Lord. How in the world did this company get funding? I wonder if it's so loud because the motor is geared... Anyways, lol.

Aren't that just the muscles used for walking and standing around? I was a bit surprised that a lot of people here mention their muscles and building them up from riding, as that was never a thing for me in the slightest. Maybe it's because I'm still below the average age here *brag*

Less voltage drop on typical usage, that's important. Hadn't thought of that when I heard about the high currents possible! Nice.

Charging: 5A is the max of the GX-16 charge port. 4A is on the healthy side. When riding: depends on how long the amperage appears. @Marty Backe uses Wheellog with a custom 90A alarm and stops if it is triggered for longer than a short moment.

@Brysoncarr That is a really good point. You might just give up or lose interest quickly unless you have a thousand dollar plus motivation not to. But that would only apply if you get loaned a wheel and do everything alone. If you ride with someone with two wheels and you go on a hand-holding journey as soon as you can simply stand on the thing holding on to a wall/poll as support, you'll learn really quickly. So: riding along with someone as your mobile support = good. But don't go in alone with reduced motivation or you might miss out on the best thing since sliced bread.

I sure hope it was that and not the wheel. You weren't that fast and you certainly aren't that heavy at 67kg!!

You're quite good already. You avoided the mistake many beginners make: going too slow. Also, wrist guards Other gear is optional depending on you and the situation, but I recommend wrist guards for every second on the wheel.
