I hate these videos because they serve no purpose other than to give some people an excuse to hate on Gotway and to further demonstrate the stupidity of some riders. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the wheel was asked to do something it couldn't so it shuts down for one reason or another (blown mosfet, burned connector, melted wire etc). In theory a wheel with infinite power would never cutout (it would be impossible to overlean). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieterGRAMS Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Dude is Full-Tilt from start to finish. Every last one of these fails are the same. Accel to the beep, then re-posture yourself to cruise or push further. Its very simple folks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 i was just posting this as a psa. i have no animus towards gotway, i’ll probably never ride one because i doubt i’ll buy one. i repeat, my euc knowledge is limited to the only ones i’ve ever seen, and those are the ones i’ve bought. plus i’m sure something like this could happpen or has happened with any wheel. like i’ve said before, liter bikes aren’t dangerous, the mindset of people buying liter bikes is what causes deaths. i think this is partly gotway’s dilemma. people choose gotway for it’s performance because the thrill is worth the risk in their minds. i would like to have seen what the aftermath of this persons fall was like. looked like he rolled pretty well. if it makes people slow down a little, probably a good thing.

kasenutty Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I always enjoy faceplant videos. Whether it's a cut-out or an over-lean, every faceplant video is special in its own way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasenutty Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) That sucked. I only like the ones where you can see the guy in full view and speculate on what happened. Eta - That curb totally looks like a telephone pole shadow or something. How tricky. Edited June 19, 2018 by kasenutty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too frown upon cutouts (I thought that was funny!) That is not an indicator of a cutoff. If the motor has reached max speed (zero remaining torque) and it has a human leaning forward on the pedals then it will tilt forward despite still driving forward as hard as it can. It is likely it didn't cut out it just reached max speed and was therefore unable to continue to balance the rider who's CoG is ahead of the wheel as it could no longer accelerate back under him (as it is at max speed). This is suggested by the fact the rider was able to step forward off the wheel. Even though the pedals are tilted they still provided somewhat of a platform from which to jump. In a cutout the pedals become utterly useless as a medium from which to aid your escape and usually results in a true faceplant where you rotate around your ankles and eat it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether you call it a cutout, overlean, faceplant or max speed...he asked the wheel to do something it couldn't do and the result is the same. There is no audio on the video but I would hope that it was alarming like hyperactive smoke detector and he just ignored the warnings...??? Anyone know.

Does a wheel that you overlean just fall over? Doesn't the wheel detect that you actually require too much power to balance and thereby cut out? I don't think there is a difference between an overlean and a cut out, well, I think that an overlean causes a cutout, the same way riding over a too big bump at too high of a speed also causes cutout because it's basically the same principle. You need X power to do it, X is bigger than max torque and boom, cut out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasenutty Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 My understanding is that an overlean the wheel is still turned on, a cutout the wheel is completely powered down. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
