We should look into that… and heated seats..

I actually wholeheartedly agree by now ShanesPlanet. It was very convenient and created a level of consistency when I was a total beginner where I wasn’t able to really read the effect of the tire pressure well on the riding characteristics of the wheel. But by now, I can tell where I am in terms of the tire pressure and even enjoy the pros of a soft tire for a while until I refill it. I enjoyed experimenting with it though. And in terms of having to fiddle with another device linking into the phone or having an external readout that can fall off, and also has to be recharged makes it not pleasant anymore. Thanks for your input. Oliver

Dear members, full disclosure, I love the Sherman, but I lost trust in the board. I have ridden it for about a year or so as a commuter vehicle to work. I only hit 42mph on flat ground a handful of times and it beeped and I backed off. I know the board can withstand much more than that. I never power torqued the wheel uphill or downhill or did anything else to put stress on the board but ride it every day at about 35-38ish on flat streets. One day, I wanted to show how cool this wheel is to someone and I idled it in front of them and it cut out immediately, I tried it again, and as soon I’d reverse the first time, it would cut out. Turned out two caps were puffy and one cap had one of its leads melted. The wheel was still rideable as long as you wouldn’t put any real torque on it like when you do when idling. Long story short, I replaced the board, it rides normal again idling and all. One thing that doesn’t make any sense to me is that the “pedal dip” is back although the firmware is the latest. The pedal dip was completely gone after I updated the firmware on the old board. Bottom line: I don’t trust this wheel anymore, but that is just my personal problem I guess. I am pretty disappointed but can’t get over my trust issues anymore, or actually don’t want to. I am riding a V11 every single day all day at work (large premises) and have no issue trusting that wheel. I am asking $2,600 or best offer. Outside condition I’d say is ok. The usual bruising when using a wheel and also still learning on it. I have not replaced the fuses nor “dremeled” off the ribs inside of the side cover as I stopped using the wheel when that directive came out. I have the two new fuses though.

Sorry guys, I haven’t checked for such a long time and didn’t get notifications either. I want to sell my Sherman and that’s why I pulled the forum up and found all your replies about TPM Systems. On a side note: I had sold my 16X and the the new owner had something horrible happening to the wheel. He slipped on metal grating in the harbor and saw his wheel slide in slow motion into the ocean water without having time to have a ceremony for a wet funeral I have not bothered installing a TPM system on my Sherman nor my V-11, but I still liked it on my 16X. So I don’t know if this or any of these valve cap sensors would fit on any other wheel and if I was just lucky it fit so well on the 16X. I have to admit that having an additional readout is a bit cumbersome but I ended up just having it in a bag and check before I would ride. The integrity of these caps is pretty darn good in terms of making the valve leak. I have been using them on several cars now and even on a formula race car and regular race car with no issues. Even after long term use. It would be absolutely ideal if the EUC manufacturers would integrate it into the wheel, a small rim sensor would work, although yes, there is another point of failure again then and if you’d have to fix a leak at the sensor that is almost more annoying than fixing a flat that can’t be fixed with slime. Anyway, thanks for the replies and inputs and sorry for having dropped out of this. Here is the picture I found again in my albums of the sensor and how it fits on the 16X. https://share.icloud.com/photos/01DdV-8AQRVl36TRSQRcXTAbA#Round_Rock Cheers Oliver

Dear Group, I have started using tire pressure management systems on my electric motorcycle and my truck and low and behold found out that it works really well on my KS-16X too. Check out the pictures and the link to the system. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RTB7WXK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Pictures of TPM mounted on wheel and on hand
