Guest Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I put in a deposit for the Z10 yesterday. I'd buy from Aliexpress but I have no idea what I would do if the Z10 had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to riding this thing through some Antifa wearing my studded palm guards wearing a cape. I'm kidding. I'm probably just going to cruise the streets of West Seattle crime spotting.

Marty Backe Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I Love This Wheel - My New Favorite? I'm desperately trying to figure out a way to have @Jason McNeil let me keep this wheel Every time I need a wheel, I'm instinctively reaching for the Z10. Yes, it doesn't have a long range but I'm fortunate to have access to other wheels. But this wheel is so much fun to ride and it looks just killer. I've taken off the mudguard because then it becomes super aggressive with that huge tire popping out everywhere. Yeah, if you want elegance, go for Inmotion or KingSong. But if you want a testosterone generating experience, it's the Z10 all the way baby I love the stability at high speed. I love the high-speed carving, where you throw your body aggressively at the sides of the wheel during the carves - it's a very pleasing physical experience. I love the low-speed agility. Other wheels are very agile, but they are twitchy. The Z10 has fantastic low-speed turning capability, but it's very relaxing in contrast to the more focused attention needed with typical wheels. I can do mindless little 360's and reversals while waiting at a light and not be thinking of the wheel at all. This is why it reminds me of the Mten3. I love the sound of the wheel. The motor noise is almost non-existent, but the tire makes a very pleasing sound. No bell needed - people can hear you coming. I love the sense of power that the wheel gives. It very much feels like a high performance wheel. I am disappointed in the low-end torque and overheating on steep hills. I'm optimistic that this won't be an issue in the production unit, but I'm still loving this wheel as it is. So if this is all I get, I'm still stoked. I love the small form factor. Next to my ACM, this wheel seems only slightly bigger. In so many ways it appears to be more of a 16-inch wheel then our 18-inch brethren. Except for the cost, this may be the new perfect beginner wheel. I'm convinced that it would be easier to learn on than most other wheels. You learn on it and then get to enjoy a high performance wheel that you won't out grow. Oh, did I say that I love the build quality and the inherent feeling of safety that seems to come from the engineering behind the Ninebot name? Maybe this is wishful thinking on my part, I don't know. But I can say that the hardware and software exude quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninebot engineers seems to succeed in so many ways. It sounds like mission impossible to create wheel that simultaneously is Highway king but subway comrade trial beast but city smart ass badass look, but crowd cutie easy to learn, but addictive as hell Top priority safety, but limitless fun of ride.

I mean, it will have hundreds of miles on it, so maybe you will be able to buy it after all the demos are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Marty, This is what I think about all the post people make about noise from a wheel. There is noise and there is sound.. To some, a V8 GM motor is noise, to others it is music. Personally I dislike quiet. I prefer people to hear I am coming that way I don't have to bell them all the time. And you will see later it kinda save me from a crash . (editing video as I type) Did I read a Gotway fan asking for build quality. Sorry I just had to mark this out. All that matters is the "Every time I need a wheel, I'm instinctively reaching for the Z10." That kinda answers my question some time back, But is it fun? Since I am still a rookie in many aspects. I can tell I love(d) my Inmotion V(, but as you said, I sort of out grew it. Now with the KS18L. I am ....and in a state until next ride then I go again The tyre sound when cruising is pure music...to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 There goes our Gotway contract and royalties. Ninebot makes good stuff. I rode my Ninebot One E+ yesterday to get the mail, and wow it's so slim and minimalist yet smooth to cruise on. I kind of miss riding it more. Except for the limited range. And the 22 kph max speed. This Z10 looks like a killer wheel. Now head to the sand and bikinis, Marty! I wish we had a remote control to steer you around and pendulum when needed. Now THAT would be a cool livestream!

Marcglider Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hey @dw8928 when I first got into riding, I found a couple of youtube videos of a guy dressed up like a grim reaper, long black sheet covering the wheel, running after people on the street.... some freaked out scared the crap out of them... one or two guys clocked the guy in the head... see if you can find them... quite amusing...
