Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I don't know. I think the helmet is very military looking. Add on that special ops rearview night vision lens, the utility belt with the stun-gun, flare, and survival kit, and I think you're ready to take on the Z-ombie apocalypse with the Z-10. What's wrong with the proboscis besides it being spelled incorrectly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks out of place without leather chaps, whips and chains. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to give him a hard time, but only because he's causing me some unneeded work and stress. It's all in fun though, but he deserves it As you know by now, the tire valve access is via a port on the side of the wheel, and requires a long (~4-inch) valve extender to access for filling. As shown in his video, he didn't care too much for the one that ships with the wheel. So he opted to use an existing one that he had from an earlier Ninebot wheel of his. I guess he decided to throw away the one that comes with the Z10, because it wasn't in the box. And I don't have an old Ninebot wheel kicking around the house. And the tire was essentially flat because that's how he liked riding it. With my additional 55-pounds the wheel was unrideable in the flat condition that it was in. Imagine your feelings, having just received one of the coolest wheels being made, and only being able to look at it. After calling various stores I realized that I'm not going to be able to buy an extension tube locally and it could be a day before I could possibly bum one off a local rider (nobody lives nears me). But then I decided to try something ghetto. I drove to a local PepBoys and bought a pack of four 1-inch valve extenders. I got home, ripped the package open, and screwed them together end-to-end. It worked! I as able to fill the tire The air in the tire did not register on my gauge, so Chooch really likes it low. I pumped it up to 20-psi for now. Next, he didn't send it to me charged or clean. Looks like it came right from the trails. And you know those pads he taped to the shell? Well, he used Duct Tape. You now what that means right? Lots of sticky residue on the shell. So I'll be spending a fair amount of time cleaning it so it looks purty in the videos. There, I feel better now. Chooch, you owe me one Very First Impressions This is one very nice looking wheel in person, and damn heavy. When I showed my wife, her unprompted reaction was, "That's cool looking". I don't think she's said that about any of my other wheels. This wheel is going to turn heads for sure ? Last night I had downloaded the Ninebot Android app; apparently only one is used for all of their devices. Wow is all I have to say. I immediately connected to the wheel and I didn't have to create an account or give my social security number. It knew everything about the Z10 and was super easy to configure. Why can't us KingSong and Gotway owners experience the joys of an app like this? No Chinese. Just my native language. Kudos to Ninebot. Any way, the wheel is charging. After the charge and cleaning, my first ride will be a night ride. I'll try and capture all of the light affects on video. More to come of course. Tomorrow is a Demo day for anyone in Southern California who wants to see and ride it. Nice review! How does it compare to the new MSX? which wheel do u personally think is better overall? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MSX clearly has superior range and more power than the Z10. The Z10 is a higher quality wheel, and more fun to ride at slower speeds - it feels like a much smaller wheel than it actually is. I think the Z10 is the coolest looking wheel available right now. Really comes down to what kind of riding that you intend on doing. You might have to do what I did and buy both 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted July 20, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2018 Mountain Stress Test, Take 2 I got out to the proving grounds in the early morning (maybe 15-degrees Fahrenheit cooler than last time) where there was a slight coolness to the air, but still in the low-70's I think. The Z10 failed to make the initial climb again. This time I demonstrate the effectiveness of the flashing blue ring lights that come on 5-degrees (Celsius) prior to overheat (80-degrees). Clearly the pre-production Z10 has overheating issues on steep climbs. Hopefully Ninebot is correct when they say that the production units run cooler with 1/3rd more power. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Looking at HOJ's teardown video and the surface mount MOSFETs, I kind of wondered how they were supposed to be cooled by the heatsink if they were mounted on the topside of the board. Is the heat supposed to pass through the backside of the MOSFET, through the PCB, and onto the heatsink? Maybe it's no surprise the Z10 overheats if the MOSFET cooling wasn't well planned for. Or is there like a pass through sort of metal sink under the MOSFET? I didn't see any of these: Edited July 20, 2018 by Hunka Hunka Burning Love 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see if that is true, we can compare the control board of production Z10 of @RoberAce and that tear down video made by @houseofjob.. Hi @RoberAce, can you open the cover to show the control board? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @RoberAce, can you open the cover to show the control board? It's way too easy to ask someone to rip open their new wheel. I wouldn't take mine apart unless I had an actual need.
