Tom D Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Odd question, but is the battery charge level related to the speed of wheel? I have a KS-14D and I noticed yesterday that once the battery charge drops to 35-45% (per WheelLog), that the top speed seem to be reduced. The verbal warning seems to come on much sooner and with much more frequency. I thought I noticed the same the previous weekend, but after monitoring yesterday, I feel pretty sure that as battery power reduces, so does the ability of the wheel to get to and/or maintain a top speed (with wheel lock off and adjusted to max). That said, I think I'm ready to an upgrade, it's crazy how fast you outgrow your first wheel. Love the 14D, but it just doesn't have the range I'm looking for and I could use just a bit more power/speed. I'm thinking the 16S, but that's another thread. T.

Master Blaster Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The simple answer for the KS wheels (and some others like InMotion) is yes, speed is reduced as your battery gets low, usually around <40% you’ll start to see a reduction in top speed.

mrelwood Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yes. And since the battery gets even lower during acceleration, the same limit reduces the ability to accelerate fast. All this for a good reason. For the 16S the speed limits are: KS-16S Battery speed limits (fw 1.02): Above 30% 35km/h 25% 32 20% 28 15% 26 10% 23 5% 21 0% 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom D Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Mrelwood - Great info, thanks! As I am pretty certain my next wheel is going to be an upgrade to the 16s, this info will come in very handy. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
