Jon Stern Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 1 hour ago, scubadragosan said: Thanks for the info, Jon. This protector looks like it's meant for bikers. I am a little doubtful about the design whether it will save your face because the opening is so large. If they make it smaller just having the eyes exposed rather than almost the whole face, it might work. Another thing is that it needs to be tested on EUC riders. Bikers seem to me falls to the ground slower than EUC riders during a face plant. Anyway, someone (me or you or anyone) can write this German company to make these suggestions. Actually, I think I might just do that. Or MBIKER_SURFER from Germany may be a better candidate....! That was my thoughts regarding the face protection. The company is Swedish, not German.

rwent1 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Bigger pedals. Update: In response to Liamfind's question, I guess I should be more specific. The V10 pedal size is probably fine and from what I've seen here, a lot of people would like to use them on the V8/V5. I just have the V5 for now and the pedals are just barely big enough for relatively short rides. That seems to be one of the first mods people do is find a way to increase the pedal size. My other wheel is a Osdrich T1 and it's pedals are painfully small -- I have to take a break every 10 minutes and walk around. So, just having optional pedal sizes would be a huge help. Granted, there's a higher risk of scraping the ground or catching a curb with larger pedals, but that's a trade-off that a lot of people would like to make, especially for extended rides.

Gaz Bon Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I would lov to see a wheel purposely designed for Off Road well maybe 75% off road and 25% on road Suitable tyre for better off road riding Even with options at purchase for different tyre types depended on your use Bigger battery for range and harder terrains 1500Wh + A tried and tested IP rating Bigger wheel size maybe 18,19,20 The wheel should also be able to have a few options via the App for personalisation of the wheel for alarms and speed limits, tiltback like Gotway Self adjusting headlights to adjust to yr angle of travel ,high beam ,low beam maybe All these things are on my wish list Gaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Stern Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 @Liamfind see my post on ISO 26262: On 1/1/2019 at 2:03 PM, Jon Stern said: What I'd like to see is EUC companies using ISO 26262 principles. This would ensure that hardware and software components have been designed and qualified with safety in mind from the outset. While the small scale of EUC production probably means that ISO 26262 adherence could never happen, borrowing the principles would increase safety (and minimize the risks of lawsuits). The necessity of automotive component manufacturers to adhere to ISO 26262 means that there are a lot of Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) compliant components that could be leveraged for EUCs. In the particular area of microcontrollers, this means there are chips that use embedded Flash memory with Error Correcting Code (ECC), have Cyclic Redundancy Checking (CRC), a high-precision Deadman Time (DMT) that monitors the health of application software by requiring periodic timer interrupts within a user-specified timing window, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Larger Capacity Batteries - 1260 or above to stay in competition with the other major competitors Matte Finishes - shiny gloss finishes are pretty until your wheel hits the ground.

Kristof Willen Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I would very much like to see some improvements in the Inmotion app : on Android, it's a really battery grinder. Also, the ability to be able to share/publish DIY light effects (or sound packs), and install light effects from others would be fantastic ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinvdV Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Yeah, the app feels pretty buggy to me. Also connecting can be a PITA... The customisation possibilities are nice, but sharing would safe a lot of time indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so happy that the V8 just turns on and off right away when I want it to turn on and off. Under the no-explanation-needed logic the cutout switch under the handle would also need a 3 second delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tessa25 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Can you ship the device with a layer of protective film on it and under the pedals like you do the handle? So those first week scratches don't happen. You know, the one where you go to admire it and it falls flat on your tools before you've even ridden it once? People can leave it on for a month before just relying on the cover. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwent1 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 @tessa25, this is a great suggestion. Adding some protective tape under the pedals was the first thing I did. Not a terrifically elegant solution, but it works because these pedals are just asking for trouble. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HFHTYGN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

Popular Post rwent1 Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2019 Built in battery charge management circuitry, like what is found in intelligent Li-Ion chargers: Option to adjust charge rate to at or below 1C (or to a safe but C+ for fast charging) Option to stop charging at 80% of battery capacity (configurable) Option to discharge the battery to optimal storage level when won't be using the wheel for extended period Auto discharge to an optimal storage level when the wheel is idle for too long Detailed cell status displayed in the app (balance level, number of charge cycles, etc) Every FPV drone flyer lives by these to optimize the health of their LiPos and stay in the race. The cost for this additional circuitry should only be a fraction of the $1K+ for most EUCs and significantly increase battery life. I would think this would be a huge selling point, compared to the costs of changing out batteries. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Every vendor works through their issues in their own ways, but I have to ask how much direct vendor contact on the forums/real world are we seeing across all vendors? Easy response in favor of one SD based brand. look at it as a challenge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
