I bought these: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805480828758.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.695ef19cNs3LBS&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa They seem to be way better quality than the stock ones and haven't leaked so far. It was easy to swap out.

I no longer want a mten4 after reading this thread

Message Tim O on Telegram and ask him to print it for you. He quoted me $70 shipped. @coolwheel I believe he is the one who created the print file. He may charge a bit more than a third party but at least you'll know that your sliders are made the way the creator intended.

Selling my 4400 mile Veteran Sherman. Never been wrecked but has some dings and scratches from non-serious falls or being set down in a non-gentle manner. Comes with: Nylonove pedals with cut out for power pads (Value: $265) Black Crow EUC stand power pads stock seat stock fender stock fast charger $2,400 local pick up or $2550 shipped.

I have the same sound on mine. I don't think that's the grinding noise though. Hope someone can confirm.

Just got back from my first ride. First impressions: Weak acceleration from a stop Accelerates quicker than a sherman once you get going. 25-42 felt linear and got there quick. I got beeps around 42, but I think that was EUCworld, not the wheel. Easy to ride. Confidence inspiring Tire does everything well but you can feel the outer groove if you lean enough and it feels like the wheel is going to slide out (but it won't) The retractable handle is easier to grab than the handle when e-braking and feels more natural to grab but don't grab it because it will slide up since there is no release button Headlights are the best design so far - more lateral coverage and you can angle the left side down and the right side up to avoid blinding oncoming traffic There is some noise when you accelerate hard at low speeds but it doesn't sound like the grinding or knocking noise related to the stator issues. I saw somewhere that the noise was related to the motor keeping you from accelerating too hard. Based on the timing of the sounds, that explanation seems plausible Exposed tire could potentially be dangerous. I touched the tire several time by accident when adjusting my headlights on the go. Do not reach for the lights if you are going fast Suspension does not feel smooth but it does it job well. Took it offroad and bombed down a very uneven dirt/rock path. I was going around 25 carving on bumpy, windy, dirt/rock fairly easily. Can't do that on my V11 Seat is not that comfortable. It's harder and the shape is less comfortable than the stock sherman and v11 seat. No bluetooth or app problems so far. Updated to latest firmware fairly easily even though my initial download was cancelled half way through because I went into another app mid-update. Second try worked no problem. The wheel is very well thought out. To set the wheel down on its kickstand, you reach under the seat and pull down on the handle/killswitch until the wheel rests on the kickstand. To raise it back up, you lift up the handle/killswitch which clicks it back into place allowing you to easily rotate the wheel back upright again. Don't try to push the killswitch down, I don't think it' supposed to work like that. Once the wheel is parked on its kickstand, the front tilts up exposing the charge ports for easy charging. I was able to plug in the charger without looking at the port fairly easily. 3d printed sliders w bearings have been ordered since I still think the suspension could be better, but even if it wasn't, it's still pretty great.

Does anyone know if this would fit? https://www.motosport.com/michelin-pilot-street-2-front-scooter-tire?variant[MICA062]=MICA062-X001-Y001

Would you mind comparing the Shinko to the stock Sherman tire? I was considering the Shinko because it looked like it would be more carvey, more nimble, and less gyro. Perhaps the 244 rides differently on the MSP than on the Sherman?

Sent you a pm.

How does the Shinko compare to the stock knobby? I know you said it is quieter, but are there any other benefits? Any trade-offs? Your input is appreciated!

@Seba Will these plugs work with your app? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SWZ2N4J/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?tag=slicinc-20&ascsubtag=550f05646b1611eb88525a783dfab57c0INT&smid=A1BRJKB12CAV7X&psc=1 It has power monitoring and is cheap!

I tried seated riding today and my opinion has completely changed. With the hard insert in I was able to ride comfortably in virtually any position as long as: 1) knees are flared out and 2) feet are shifted out wider. The knees flared out is for control and feet shifting is for comfort. Knees straight is horrible for me. Knees flared allowed for fairly aggressive cornering. Almost as fast as I can corner crouching. Which makes sense since it's a similar position. Deconceptualizing seated riding as crouched riding with an area to rest your butt made a world of difference for me! Hex pedals likely helped too as they helped me feel more secure with my feet on the edges of the pedals.

I have Clark pads and the IM seat. Seat is super comfy. The pads force me to keep my heels off the foot platforms and only the soles of my feet make contact. I've never rode seated prior to this but the current foot positioning is not comfortable at all

I'm using this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UTX0R8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The suspension seems a little smoother with the lube but it wasn't bad before either.

This sounds like a mud problem, not a bearing problem. Try clearing out ALL the mud first. There is likely a bunch of mud stuck between the tire and the inside of the shell. Flip the wheel upside down and shine a light in there to see if you can see any mud stuck between the tire/motor and the shell. I used a long bendable piece of metal and slowly introduced hot water to loosen the mud. It took my 3 days to finally get all the mud out but my wheel runs and sounds great now.
