Marcglider Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 You guys are Killing me... I am trying to enjoy my new TESLA, and waiting for my MCM5 to come in... I wrote Jason this morning and he told me the wheels are going to the forwarder tomorrow and he has 5 coming AIR Freight... That means I will wait another 5 weeks roughly for mine or pay an extra $200 and get it Quick... Time to stop reading posts here for a while For those asking, I paid $1300 for the new MCM5 with the 800wh battery (EWheels.com)... He gave me a discount on the quick charger as a repeat customer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you recently got your Tesla, I’d say, enjoy it for 5 weeks while your mcm5 is in transit..save the $200...use it to get bigger pedals for your Tesla and/or the mcm5. ....Well that’s just the voice of reason talking... i know , it’s easier said than done! The hell with reason , Go get them all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK... now I get what the hell is going on here.... let's see, do you really need to have all 3 wheels that I don't own but would like in the same sentence... (ACM2, MSX, Mten3)?? is this some kind of pyramid scheme where you are under Marty and everyone is getting rich on my retirement funds??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is how @houseofjob is able to achieve 22 mph on his Mten3, with the current setup I don't dare go over 17mph. If it gives more control it would be well worth it.

For my 11 size flat feet, Tesla ( ACM, mcm5) pedals are too small and make my feet hurt when riding longer than 5-10 minutes. The msuper pedals are a smidge bigger but it makes all the difference In the world for me. Its not important that the toes are supported, but the ball of your feet should be. This is why I’m getting msuper pedals for the ACM and the mcm5 (if I get one). Unless I get my hands on the v10 pedals, which are even bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue how any adult can ride on those mini MTen3 pedals, they're like made for children's feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Does anyone know what the letters in ACM and MCM stand for? Just curious whether it's just me who doesn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Okay, it looks like Marty doesn’t know either. How about Mten and MSuper? I’m guessing ten is for ten inch wheel, but is super for super wheel? M for Moto? Shouldn’t it be MTen? Has anyone deciphered the Chinese Da Wongi code? Are they using a series of random, good sounding letters like the Acura RSX and NSX? Or are they adopting random names from a wordolator like what Nissan did with their “Qashqai” which BTW I totally had to look up to spell? Did no one tell the Japanese about the U comes after Q rule? Inquiring minds want to know what other people are riding. I definitely hope it’s not something totally disappointing like “A Chinese Monowheel” or “Marvelous Chinese Monowheel.” That would reduce some of that cool factor unfortunately. Maybe it’s best that we never know. Just like it’s better not to know that you’re driving an Iranian Turkic nomadic bad spelling tribal SUV.

yourtoys7 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Msuper pedals fur sure are more comfortable (I had both), but as @Marty Backe said they just don't look wright. My most comfortable ones so far were Ninebot E+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you part of the Pyramid scheme and getting commission on the extra $200 bucks from Jason also???? All kidding aside, Yesterday I was going to Ask Jason if he would waive the $200 bucks and send me the MCM5 when he gets it and I would order an ACM right now... Divine intervention must have stepped in because when I called him late yesterday afternoon, he did not answer my call... I have stepped BACKE because I Agree, I think I am going to ABSOLUTELY love this wheel and 3 16" wheels right now isn't necessary, especially if I am going to spend a lot of time on the MCM5 when it comes. What is interesting is when I got my 14D I loved it and even when I got the 16S, I did not like it at first, maybe because it was not as nimble and quick handling as the 14... as I got better and more time, I love the 16" and it seems to be the perfect size for most of my riding... my 18S is mainly for distance and comfort, but I don't do that much, maybe once a week...

Compared to my 14S when I ride the MCM5 it feels much lighter. It took me a while to get use to MCM5, these wheels are different enough it takes time for me. As for nimble and quick handling King is still Mten3 by long shot. I know you've ridden the Mten3 but again it takes many miles to get the hang of it.

I wrote this before but I think it has to do with the center of gravity and/or the height of the pedals in comparison to the CG and axle line... guess I will find out soon enough...
