This is an old video. I think it was already shown in either this thread or one of the primary Z10 threads. The Z10 has a maximum speed of 28-mph which I have ridden. I believe the wheel cutout due to pushing beyond it's capabilities. He was clearly riding the beep like I did for a few minutes on the Z10. In my case, the wheel would initiate a mellow tilt-back (and beep) and I would ease up on my lean a bit. I made a video of this short "speed test". In my case I was most certainly not trying to squeeze out more speed. I was just trying to ride at maximum speed for a bit. In this guys case I'm assuming he was maybe continuing to lean into the wheel seeing if he could eke out some more speed. I think the Z10 is a very safe wheel and has a nice controlled mellow tilt-back to keep you at it's maximum speed for any given battery level.

meepmeepmayer Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Ian of Speedy Feet is the other end of the scale to the manufacturers' claims. He always gets surprisingly lousy range, for mysterious reasons. So easily expect more than he gets. Solid 80km for your 1600Wh. As for Marty, I looked up the nearest Hooters breastaurant he and his gang seem to like the place Even a Solowheel would do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always gets surprisingly lousy range, for mysterious reasons. He does admit to riding very aggressively and pushing the wheel as much as he can to get a realistic range in the most extreme conditions, so I guess it's a matter of middle ground, as with everything. As to breastaruants (Nice one! ), it's not a bad way of spending Xmas Eve.... BTW, Merry Xmas to all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mix of speeds and wind, but no riding faster than 35-km/h. My sense is that the mileage is worse than the MSX, but I'll be doing a real apples-to-apples comparison later. Regardless of how it compares to any other wheel, the KS18XL has a fantastic range. It's a really nice wheel 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RoberAce Posted December 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) He told me it was a Cutoff at 46kmh after the rides over the tillback. It's a very strange situation because, as you could see in my videos, I constantly exceed that speed and I'm not exactly a light rider 89Kg, it's very strange and it makes me a bit mistrustful to follow the trend of acceleration without limit, maybe I've had too much luck Edited December 25, 2018 by RoberAce 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please be careful dude 🙏🏾 Meh. As usual per these cutout freakouts, a ton of details left out: Where was the Z sourced? What was the temp? How hard was he pushing it? (ie. Overlean/overpower) Was there a divot, etc? Was the wheel still powered on after? What firmware was the wheel on? What hardness setting was the wheel on? Was brake assist turned on? (as I personally think this feature is rubbish and should not exist) ... and even then, I tend not to trust inexperienced rider cutoff reports, because they will often claim incorrect "phantom cutout", when it's really user error, overpower, Edited December 25, 2018 by houseofjob 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the range on the XL is slightly less as well; it's heavier than the MSX. I found the weight difference a bit surprising when @eddiemoy weighed them. The MSX was closer to the 18L in weight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
