It’s ridiculous. V5F and MSX so far. Really like the look of the Nikola Plus to “replace” the V5F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrovertigo Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 So the continuous beeps are warning of what exactly? I don't understand why the wheel, if it senses something bad, doesn't start to even itself out and kind of roll to a stop while maintaining balance? Am I missing something obvious?

No reason to stop loving the MSX just because you love another wheel I just got back from taking my MSX for a tear around the local river trails. It's a blast. And funny, I checked the mileage and I only have ~600 miles and I've had the wheel for 14-months. I need to add it into my wheel rotation more often. And to be honest, when you were descending that single track towards the end of the video, I bet the MSX would have been more carefree with the higher pedals. Yeah, don't give up on the MSX. You have a lot of beautiful trails/roads to ride around. Too bad it gets cold and rains there. And BTW, you keep saying that you don't know where you are. Does Google Maps work in your part of the world, including those small dirt roads? Love your little dancing model at the end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to create a FAQ entry. Comments like this keep coming up which shows a clear lack of understanding on how our wheels work. I get tired of answering the same comment. Thus the need for a FAQ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheel can't 'slow down' as by doing so it would effectively lose balance therefore you faceplant. The only option we have at the moment is tiltback. And beeps to warn you.... I always hear the beeps on my Z10. As a result I haven't even hit tiltback yet. Not sure I want to tbh. I'm really, really careful at increasing speed around the 24mph mark (max is 28). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do some googling IMO the question you posted is fair for even reasonably intelligent people. I do however agree with Old Sweat Marty that answering the same question multiple times would get tiring and an FAQ would be really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
