And you will love ❤️ it! i just got a little taste but i have to agree with u from my little bit of experience ridng my wheels, this one is very different and i feel like it is gonna take some time before this wheel reads my mind, if ever.

novazeus Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 so i had to check out the headlight at night after leveling the pedals and i planned on just getting it and shining it down the road and then come back inside. when i saw how good it worked, i decided to give it a test riding down my tree branch infested driveway. a little risky because i was only wearing flip flops and my pebble watch and my gate is only fifty feet from a public road. it was dark so what the heck. the light although not as good as the v10f, very usable for me on my driveway. still running 35psi and i’m likng it. i just like running on hard tires.

Regarding tire pressure - you may love 27-psi. I hope you will experiment. It's pretty easy to adjust the pressure on this wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’ve found is higher tire pressure equals speed wobbles and lower tire pressure equals veering. Actual optimal tire pressure will depend on overall weight. I cannot get my app to stop trying to get me to watch the 50km videos. This would be okay if it would allow me to watch the videos and complete it. What is the solution to this, as having to cancel these every time I reconnect has become very inconvient when I need the app to work ASAP in real-world situations. See pictures. It “downloads”, then pops back up with the “Later” and “Now” message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it just keeps prompting you to download over and over again.. The thing is if you click “Later” when it first pops up, the app becomes unuseable..

Every new wheel I get, I calibrate the pedals. Yes, I calibrated the Z10 pedals. FWIW, I'm noticing that the Z10 pedals seem to lose their calibration. Just last night I was detecting that the pedals had developed a forward tilt. So using the app I recalibrated. Fortunately the calibration procedure is simple and fast. So don't assume that once you've calibrated them you won't have to touch them again. I seem to remember reading this observation somewhere else too.

My S1 came with a credit card sized plastic card with a flip out usb drive that plugs into a laptop to read the manual. It would be easy to overlook. Also there are QR codes on the pedal that can be scanned with a phone app for the tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 rode a little more today. took the tire pressure down from 37 to 33. still funky. this is the most oddball feeling wheel of my whole bunch. not complaining, just observations. i said my v10f made me a better rider than i am, this wheel s the opposite of that. it’s like learning to ride all over again. seems like foot position front to back is more critical with this wheel.

Nic Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I wonder when we'll start seeing battery mods to extend the range of this wheel .... is this even possible? I'd certainly give it a go if there is space inside to add more cells, then I wouldn't need to think about MSX. Its hilly where I live so I will be lucky to get 25 miles range with the supplied battery and I don't like running the battery down close to zero in case I run out of power to get home.

Only way is to up the cell density, as I think they couldn't go full 3.5Ah LG MJ1's or similar due to the lack of availability (read: Apple, Samsung, Tesla battery hogging), but this would only up the Wh an additional ~100Wh, not worth it. Otherwise, you would need to do unsightly frankenstein DIY external modding, also not worth it IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 oh yeah, checked my pedal levelness after leveling them last night, nope it was gone. i’m wondering if any of these wheels maintain calibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my other wheels maintain their calibration. But periodically I do need to recalibrate. I guess they include that feature for a reason.

Rehab1 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Did anyone perform the BMS V1.1.1 updates? The wheel went through 60 seconds of gyrations before stabilizing again. Any ideas what the update achieved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
