Alien Rides Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I have a few different videos planned to review the capabilities of the MSuperX 100 volt. Thought I'd start a review thread on it since I just got it. Let me know if you have any requests Here's my impressions after first getting the wheel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Sweet looking wheel and great initial review. Sounds like you would have preferred the 84V version. It appeared to handle well during your carving.The smoke emitted from the charger is definitely not a good sign. Look forward to your upcoming reviews.

I should've clarified more, but at this time I would only recommend the 100V version if you know exactly what you're looking for in a wheel. I think the 1600wh mass-produced version will be better for most people currently. For myself, I'm looking for extreme acceleration up steep hills, and am ok with the reduced battery size.

So what is the steepest grade hill in SF you want to conquer? Should be interesting to watch! I've seen some inclines out there that look like Hover Dam.

I've seen some inclines out there that look like Hover Dam. I believe people have already done a 41% grade hill on a Tesla. My v3 blew the mosfet on a 29% grade hill. If I can conquer the 41% grade hill I will be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you asked for requests, please show us what loads are required to burn up the board How tall are you? I got that seat the other day and could not manage to ride seated. Granted I only tried for a few minutes, but damn, it seems difficult. Seeing your video with the seat, I may just ride with the seat attached even if I don't use it. The seat gives the wheel a bit fore flare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after a few other videos first though. Don't want to break my new ride on day 2. 1 minute ago, Marty Backe said: How tall are you?

Seeing your video with the seat, I may just ride with the seat attached even if I don't use it. The seat gives the wheel a bit fore flare. I'm right at 6', and my knees were bent quite sharply. I think I'd need to raise it 4-5 inches for it to be really comfortable. So far the most comfortable seat has been on the KS-18S, that thing is TALL. I think riding with the seat attached is pretty cool, it does look nice. The one downside is that you have to take it off to use the handle, which hopefully you don't need to do often.

I really like the affect that it gives the wheel. Nothing like the blocking seat for the MSuper V3 or Monster. Even if you don't ride sitting, it makes for a comfortable seat while you're taking a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Rides Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Welp, within one day of owning the MSuperX, I've already lost the seat ? It came off while going off a ledge, and I didn't feel or hear it bounce off. I went back to the spot where it came off, but alas, someone had taken it. So if you do ride with it, make sure you secure it to the X with additional fasteners, or you may lose it also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Aw man. Maybe using some of that Industrial Strength Velcro tape underneath would have helped keep it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 They also got the new Dual Lock Velcro too. I haven't tried that yet since I'm a bit old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can conquer the 41% grade hill I will be happy People get a little excited with percentage of gradient claims, as there is no "official" 41 % gradient residential "street" in the world, other than a limited access road in HI. That said, if the MSX 100 or 84V can easily climb the best that's SF has to offer, that will be sufficient for just about anyone in the world in terms of steepness. Marty's heat-break hill is brutal more for the terrain and length than for the pure steepness. Long and very steep usually eclipses short and extremely steep in terms of over-heating. Good Luck! We will be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
