The music, computers, Lamborghini Countach, what's not to like? Gotway is like the 10's Lamborghini Countach of electric wheels. The design doesn't make a lot of sense with the scissor doors, but most of us drooled over it. It is still eye catching in a screw everyone I'll be different if I want to sort of way.

You'll notice that the other big wheels (Z10, MSuper, Monster) expose the tire fore and aft which reduces the shell size so the wheel doesn't look so big. That's what KingSong should have done on the KS18L. This was the main selling point for me on the Msuper T. I love the look of the exposed tire.

When writing about KingSong and Gotway within the same paragraph, you can't say Kingsong drives fast. Sorry, it's not credible.

Hatchet Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hey come on now fellas! Kingsong is a great company. After all, most people need a starter wheel!, lol Full disclosure; I ride a KS18s, so I can say these things. It's our sense of humor that has sustained us as a Kingsong people lo these many(3) years.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must also say, I would have bought a Tesla instead of the KS16S, but I don't trust it enough. I meanwhile also see, how the wheel's maxspeed influences one's average speed: On my former KS16B I mostly had avg spd around 25 km/h when cruising in the flatlands, now on the KS16S I have around 29 km/h. BTW, just found out that I need to change my signature. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, it just occurred to me that you changed your handle back to my favorite "Herman The German" (I know it wasn't exactly that before).

Yes, I had no wheel during winter, sold my KS16, therefore I rarely came here. I had the intention to buy a stronger one in spring, and did that. I tried a KS18 and even a Gotway Monster, but decided a 16" fits perfectly for my mixed purposes. As mentioned I would have bought a Tesla, but I really don't trust Gotway enough.

Presumably he likes the KS18L whereas I think, eh. It's great that we have choices in the various wheel sizes. Something for everyone. I'm just glad they're calling it the MSuper X rather than the MSuper V3S+, not to be confused with MSuper 3S+ I'm surprised they didn't name the MCM5 as the MCM2++ Like, I'm pretty sure the MCM4 came out before the MCM3. Then there was the ACM V2, not to be confused with the ACM V2, which is the exact same name but a totally different wheel. From now on Gotway needs to just STOP with the similar names. If ANYTHING changes on a new version of a wheel, just give it a completely new name. The MCM 5 gets an upgrade? Just call it the MCM 6, even if it's very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, last night I was trying to figure out the difference between the MSuper V3s and the MSuper V3s+. It took like a f*cking hour of research to understand that the MSuper V3s 1300 has the 84V, just like the MSuper V3s+, aka the MSuper V3s 1600.

Scatcat Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Looks-wise I prefer the GW and RW designs over both the IM and the KS ones. NB comes in two sets, the Z looks amazing, while the older wheels are more like IM and KS in shape. I like rakish designs, I like utilitarian designs - but most of all I like daring designs. That's still talking just looks. When it comes to the ultimate design, my final feelings about it is affected a lot by how well the design works. Rockwheel for example looks like a bloody sports car, but part of the design is "questionable" when it comes to the practical stuff. Things like shell stiffness and ergonomy could be better. In that respect I think the new V10F is a bit ahead. I find none of the "top" wheels looking like they were designed by a kid. But they were clearly designed with totally different philosophies.

Somewhere there must have even been an outbreak of GW faceplants before I had heard of the model... Don’t remember which time it was though. Exactly the point why stick still with KS: Better electronics, by miles. Its not about delays or releases but quality and safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
