Iam not really sure about your answer, to big load because of The small battery pack? Only 280wh..... Iam not good in math, max amp cell etc and how many cells they are and so on? I guess the real question is why do you need a fast charger for such a small battery. The stock charger would work great (fast). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I’m curious about your thoughts on the modification process and the resulting wheel feel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I was getting close to trying it but then decided to sell the MCM5 because I just wasn't using the wheel enough. When I got the MSP with its high-torque wheel I felt that I'd never need the torque of the MCM5 again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying W Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 @Marty Backe you sold another wheel?? Are you feeling ok?? Of I get an msp I was thinking of selling my mcm5 too. Seeing your video of the msp going up that single track that only the mcm5 had gone up prior helped a lot with the thought of selling it. Having the range and the climbing abilities would make the mcm5 collect dust for me too. Are you going to be getting a V11 to out through the mnt stress test and range test? Your riding preferences closely match mine so I always put a lot of stock in your opinions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I found a good home for the MCM5. I fully expect to have access to the V11 and S18 for testing. Can't wait. I know I'll own one of them, but which will it be??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrd777 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Just to throw in an opinion here on the mcm5 which I’ve stated many times.. The mcm5 is probably one of the most underrated wheels out there, it’s agility, light handling and quickness can’t be beat. This especially true for city riding, doing errands where you have to pick up the wheel etc. I ran into fedex store in nyc today did a 180 degree turn all while dropping off my package and sprinted out the automatic door, all while the staff didn’t blink an eye. It’s still a beauty of a wheel, and will always remain in my quiver. I highly recommend it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the Tesla will be my super nimble wheel, but you can't be the ultra portability along with performance of the MCM5. Maybe I'll get another when when the MCM6 is released 1 hour ago, Flying W said: I've put 3500 miles on mine! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I could still enjoy hours of riding in the mountains with that 1100wh battery. But, like my Z10, it wouldn't see much use during group rides.

Compared the MSX it's very light, super agile, fast, and fun. The 16-inch tire will be much more comfortable for general riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Hi All. New rider here. I ordered Inmotion V8F but shipping is taking ages so my friend lent me MCM5 in the meantime. And maaaan i love this thing, its so powerful and nimble and I'm afraid the V8F will feel slow and boring in comparison when it finally arrives. Although being a complete newbie on EUC what i mean by "powerful" is going max 30kmh, can the V8F do that or is it gonna beep and tilt already? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Paul Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 A V8F will comfortably cruise at 18 mph for the majority of its battery cycle. If that’s your target speed it’ll be a great light portable choice for you. any faster than that and you might be looking for an upgrade, and people will likely point you to a gotway Tesla or something even larger instead at that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
