Well, shoot. I couldn't have known back when I was ordering my V10F as my second wheel, but I'm not liking the whole side pad experience, as nice as the V10's pads are. Granted, I've only got a few hours on the machine, and I'm still optimistic that I can tame it to my liking, but my difficulties adjusting to it make me really jealous of your MCM5. The most MTen3-like ride possible in a 14"+ wheel with a tready tire? Yes, please! Fingers crossed for a bonus I might get at work in a couple months Edited June 7, 2018 by beast@tanagra 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mike Paolini Posted June 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2018 Ditto, I just bought the V10F myself and have mixed feelings on it. It's better than a lot of the EUC's out there and that I've ridden, but it drives and stops like an SUV, and it's having issues here in the hot Texas weather for me over heating on hills with my 210 pound + gear frame (not sure if it is just mine or all v10F's). I can tell you mTen3 and the KingSongs I've ridden have no issues on the hill, and (so far in the heat). So I think I'm looking to replace the V10F with something more fun and small and suitable for me. Would love to know that this one handled say 230 pounds of payload (3 litter Camelbak, safety gear, lockup chain, etc). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might wanna consider Monster 100V, yes they are pricy but they are incredible machines. I ride the 84V . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mike Paolini Posted June 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2018 Well I ride the Kingsongs and mTen3's just fine.... And yes, Mary is correct, I'm after something small and agile. Maybe that is a unicorn, but given that the others work... maybe not? I actually just ran 10 runs up and down my hill on the mTen3 to see it's temperature (90 degrees out side). It ended at 140 degrees f. So I think this is a case of InMotion being too conservative? Shrug. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_fuel Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 9 hours ago, Marty Backe said: This is the most amazing mountain trail wheel that I've ever ridden! I'm not exaggerating. The MCM5 climbed Overheat Hill in record time and barely started breathing hard. The board temperature climbed ~10-degrees, and if I remember correctly, was at 52-degrees at the top of the hill. This is the same hill that has overheated every wheel that I've tried, and blew the fuse on @Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" KS16B. Amazing. I presume that it's the because of the smaller wheel diameter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My KS14S climbed these hills much slower and over-heated halfway up the hill. I believe it's due to the 14-inch wheel in combination with a 1500w motor (stronger than the original ACM), 84-volts, and drive electronics.

Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Wow that MCM5 turned out to be quite the mini-might of torquey wheels! That overheat alarm is a bit annoying though. Sounds just like a phone ringing! I think MCM stands for Mountain Climbing Marty 5! Too bad they didn't put a couple of rows of white 5050 LEDs up front behind the air scoops and some red ones in the back instead of the scoops being just decorative. They could have also made an opening for a stationary handle on the one side and made the other half the extendable trolley. It looks like a fun wheel that competes with the KS14 market share, just what you were hoping for all this time! See, Gotway IS listening... Now just watch. Built-in BT speakers are next followed by the Ninebot Z killer with the fat off-roading tire.... the Gotway Phantom6! Gotway is really dominating in 2018 it seems! And for just $14.99 per minute I can dominate any bad, bad boys out there. VISA/MC accepted.

Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) I unfortunately caught a tapeworm eating some undercooked pork so I have to eat lots of Gravitos just to keep my weight stable since I can't afford the medicine to treat it. All those dollars per minute are helping to fund my medical treatments, pay for my medical school tuition, and help buy me a new iPhone among other things. I'm so poor that I can't even afford new lingerie! See, this one's even got a hole in it! But we digress.... back to MCM5 talk!

Popular Post Rehab1 Posted June 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2018 Yah....my MCM arrived this morning! With the battery depleted down to 73% I still decided to ride for just a few hundred feet to test how the new wheel felt without any calf padding. All I can say is @Marty Backe must be working out with Susan Summers Thigh Master. Riding straight is fine but when performing a few sharp turns my legs slipped. So my first modification was installing calf pads. I also installed a strip of red protective molding as the pedal grips lie directly on the plastic shell when they are in the stowed position. It would not take very long for surface abrasion to begin appearing of the shell without the molding. The MCM5 is currently charging. Once done I’ll test it out. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
