Charles McLean Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Hey @Jason McNeil ... can you please check on the validity of this post? https://www.facebook.com/groups/GotWay/permalink/1793182950740019/ Apparently, Facebook user "Ccw Titan" claims you can special order a Monster 100v with 2500Wh battery pack directly from Hong Kong. He recommended I contact a guy on Facebook "Yatwah Li" (https://www.facebook.com/yatwah.li.7) to find out more info. Can you please check with your Gotway contacts and ask about this? If so, can you let the group know if its possible to order these through eWheels and how long you think they would take to special order? Thanks!

meepmeepmayer Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 That would mean they somehow managed to get an additional 48 cells into the shell (2/3 the size of the standard GW battery pack) . Comes out to 2486Wh. Not sure if there's enough space for that in there, but maybe there is? Some strangely shaped custom battery. Wondering if this (if true) is by GW or just a third party extended battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is they're just mistakenly talking about the 84V 2400Wh Monster, as Gotway didn't try to add the extra 20S pack in the board crevice of the 84V. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ccw Titan" has been pretty specific that it is a 100v Monster with 2500 Wh battery and the pics he's been posting show the 5-pin charging port. He also posted pics of what he claims was one of the original 100v demo Monsters that Gotway modified for the additional batteries. I don't own a Monster so I don't know what the original battery layout looked like inside, but this sucker is packed to the brim. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US69 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Yip... You are able to pack on each side one smalll 24s1p, so each side about plus 310wh, so that you have about 2460wh then... Normal usage of 1oo V Monster is 3x615wh...2x615 on none board side, and 615wh on board side. but thats not GW doing this!!! it is DIY....

houseofjob Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Maybe it’s a distributor mod, which is common in some places like Asia and 1Rad in Germany where @US69 I believe is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, thats what i meant... And to be honest...i would only allow total experts todo that... Each pack has a BMS, and its not good idea to have 620wh of your 2480wh battery running on a different BMS(or none at all), which it defintily is, as it is not from GW. Also the BMSs on the newer GWs are connected to share data...i would bet here not. Btw.: Just recently a GW 100V Monster owner posted he is on the way to hospital after crashing at 65kmh..... 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Those photos look like a hack job tbh. Will they have to cut out parts of the shell? Though it makes sense that people pester GW that the 100V Monster should have the obvious big battery as well. So only natural this might be a thing. Bit disappointed how they didn't make a new shell for this as well as the msuper X. Not enough space/wasted space for battery here, not enough tire clearance for the X. Both wheels could really benefit from a new shell design. Hm... Pretty sure 65km/h = overspeed/overlean/warnings ignored. Or maybe just a surprise obstacle? Does anyone know whether the "old" 100V Monster is the same as the new one (especially with the new board with the better motor cable connectors and whatnot), or if these two are more or less unrelated/one is an evolution of the other?

ED209 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) The prototype 100V Monster which they produced last summer used the same 1600w motor as the 84V models. The motor has now been upgraded and is now 2000w from what I have heard. Edited April 30, 2018 by Edddeus Incomplete 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Yep the "Tesla" upgrade, I guess. Just wondering if they had the better board in the 100V Monster all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeRide Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I think this thread would have been much better as a pm with all the names in the op being thrown around. If i had seen that prototype, i'd be running as far as i could from this proposed enhancement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED209 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) If only someone lent me their 100V ?. The Tesla 16 inch wheel manages 50kph comfortably on smooth surface. 22 inches will make it seem average.
