Honestly, the EVX review is what swayed me to getting this as my next wheel. I needed to see what an NYC rider who is used to high-speed wheels thought about it before I bought. InMotion has always been unmatched for polish and features but just a little bit lacking in the speed and torque department. Micky's review put my worries to rest.

I'ma try to rig my Nik up on it's side with ratchet straps through the handle and rim.

Mind if I interrupt the conjecture for a minute to ask if anyone is having trouble fitting their replacement cells inside of their shell? I was able to jam the new packs inside my shell and screw it down but it is bending a fair bit. I did not get a chance to compare the widths of the packs before replacing them.

Let me know what you are able to rig up! I recently bought some ratchet straps to haul my Nik+ on my FJ09 but am interested to see if you come up with a better way to do it!

Might be smart to start shying away from these third party mods as a community. Fires like this are what got "hoverboards" banned in most places. EUCs are always one major news story away from the same fate.

Exactly this^ companies don't do expensive recalls unless they know that the issue is with that particular part. Batteries are the most expensive component on an EUC. The issue HAS to be with the batteries (contrary to what many are stating in this thread)

A lot of speculation in the thread, when we dont even really know what the actual issue is yet. Let's try to wait for Jason and/or GotWay to make an official statement before we go telling people that their wheels are OK to ride. It takes a lot of money and effort for a business to organize a recall like this and I unfortunately doubt the ethics of GotWay to perform a recall on their own, unprompted by Jason.

I believe that @Archee Jan Bloch holds this honor.

I have one in Boston that is pretty beat up but would be a good learner if you are interested!

Any speed alarms on in the app?

Because Gotway does not build their wheels to have updatable firmware. They just keep pushing new models to fix the issues inherent in past ones.

The 21700 Nik+ that I got from you recently did not have the startup sound, so it seems like they are listening!

Took my new Nik+ apart today with aims to review the speaker waterproofing and noticed something a little unexpected...entirely new speakers with some pretty ample waterproofing! For reference, the speaker is made of a rubber and has a significant amount of black liquid rubber (?) Sealant-type stuff. It is pretty sealed into the shell itself so I wasnt able to go any deeper without compromising the seal. Sounds great though!

Where can I find more info on this?

Personally, under heavy braking, I get my butt as low as I can (going into a kind of deep squat). This seems to help immensely for stability, stopping wobbles and gives me good leverage on the pedals.

As a note: I got a 100v 21700 Nik in this week and it does not seem to make this sound. Just a beep for turn on and then a double beep when connection to EUC World has been established.

Just got my Nikola 100v with the 21700 cells yesterday and am LOVING IT. Big thanks to @Jason McNeil I am an avid EUC World user and am currently trying to figure out wtf my alarms/tiltback/which apps I need to have set so that I do not dump my 190 pound body into the ground. After searching around the forum, I have found a couple different pieces of advice, but nothing specific to the new 100V wheels. For reference, I would like to have an alarm that goes off at just below the max speed/current that the wheel is capable of with my weight, nothing else necessary.

Love the two-tone look and absolutely would need a zipper to access the trolley handle.

Dude, what a save! She is a natural.

I live in Malden and can help you with this, or you can reach out to me for info on how to join our Telegram.

I am 100% with you on this, but it seems we are the silent minority on the issue

Seconded. It came as news to me recently that what I have been touting as "30 mph" for the last couple years has actually been closer to 26 mph.

That's a very Zen way of looking at it Travs. I will try to see if I can take this sudden realization in stride as well

Oh that's fucked. So I can't go beyond 26 mph on my 18 xl without getting tiltback... Probably time for a Gotway.

Wait, now I am confused. Is the KS native app inflating speed by 18% and giving us alarms at 25~ish mph, or is EUC World inflating speeds by 18%, or both? Either way, wouldn't reducing the speed shown by 18% allow for a higher top speed without tiltback?
