onkeldanuel Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yes and it works, but only for an hour, then it goes back to the factory setting (its only 1 degree back so its not too Bad but i dont understan why it works only for a short time, if the calibrating doing wrong then it wont be level after it for one hour?)

Thanks again. But this is unacceptable. I spent over £1k on a product with no versioning and they have removed an essential functionality. The ring light is one of the unique selling points for me on the Tesla. This is completely rubbish.wont be recommending this company to anyone that ask what Unicycle to purchase. Completely unprofessional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that’s a strong opinion for something as minor, to most users, as its ring lights (which are hardly unique to the Tesla, almost every wheel on the market seems to be getting them now, many well before the Tesla) Out of curiosity, what wheel would you recommend for its reliable and impressive light show?

I'm surprised to learn that none of the Ring Light modes in the current Tesla have the brake light function. But is the brake light actually "essential functionality". Does anyone actually think our little brake lights are noticed or have any impact on people/bicyclists/cars that are behind us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes for me it is. The Gotway Tesla is a pretty wheel especially at night. Seen some of your videos at night and they look beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Plus it’s better to have a break indicator than not to have one. Each to their own. Atleast give us an option in the app to chose the old one. NineBot and Inmotion does.

Not really, that's why many of us who ride in urban traffic or at night "upgrade" our lights. Side note, in California we are legally required under CVC 21293 when riding in darkness to have a white light in front (visible while moving from 300 feet), a red reflector in back (visible for 500 feet), and a white or yellow reflector on the side (200-foot visibility).

I was just commenting on the red parts. So to be clear, none of the Tesla ring light modes support the red brake light??? My new MCM5 has red brakes lights, and the MSuper X does. Seems really odd that they removed the brake light from the Tesla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I do everything I can to make the wheel as invisible as possible. I would be more peed off if I couldn’t turn the lights off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite are the RGB lights, far right option on the following page. All have bright red lights highly visible even during the day.

Afeez Kay Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 A comparison on the old and the new rainbow lights. I know the new one is good too, but the old one just seem better to me ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from behind theyre hard to see. And when you already are confusing the hell out of people by standing on a wheel with blinking lights. I think that they at first dont think as the red light as a brake light. When there is the colors of the rainbow blinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also because there isnt other distracting lights. So there is still one mode with brake light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's all the complaining about Marty a bit off topic, appreciate if you can assist - WheelLog for iOS, does it exist? - Also, I was riding the Tesla this morning when all of a sudden the pedals starts tilting back, severely. Not sure what changed since the last time I rode the Tesla. Any idea what may have caused this? Much appreciated Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks its basically the same. almost. when i hear the 3rd alarm beeper or battery alarm. then i feel the pedals tilting back like 1 degree. it can easily be ignored. but its like a little tactile way to tell me im at the egde. but it doesnt force me at all. the tiltback is not even really visible. and if i dont think too much about it i dont notice it. bood little feature. less is more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
