Mike Paolini Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 5 hours ago, meepmeepmayer said: From this thread: click $2000 for the MSX 1600Wh vs. $2100 for the Nikola 1600Wh. They indeed seem to make it more expensive than the MSX Oh well, let's see how this translates to the final prices. My understanding is the Nikola will be rough $150 US more than the mSuper X - so your chart is pretty reasonable. And I'd say if you are in the market for an mSuper X, $150 more for a proper headlight, a better handle, better LEDs, really loud Bluetooth speakers, and a digital display may be reasonable. On the other hand, we'll have to see how it rides. So far it doesn't seem like anyone who's reviewed it has loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah. Son one of three sent the 18L back, and I received it several weeks ago. Son two of three is home for Spring break, and used it yesterday on our group ride; a 50 miler. We rode pretty aggressively so the "most expensive EUC on the planet" gave up about two miles from my house. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, @edwin_rm and I continued, on and I went back to scoop my son up with the car. It was a 50 mile trip and we were doing some pretty aggressive riding. @edwin_rm was on his GW Monster and I had the XL so I made it, and he made it easily. Suppose we could have pushed it the last two miles (one dot left), but I thought better of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, with you and Ian here we have friendly competition, a cornerstone for all healthy business is based imo. Jokes aside, be that I am a GW kind of guy I cannot shake the feeling KS just growing away from GW in terms of taking wheels forward, I honestly do not mean blinking Disco lights and 64 speakers I could care less about that, to me functionality, simplified and smart design, efficiency and quality beats out Disco every day of the week, yet they manage to squeeze in these things for those who do want it without dominating the overall design. Again this is just me but the Nikola could have been several years ago and the 16X just feels fresh looking at it. Personally I will not give up on that maximum power and being in control as mush as possible so love the GW last warning and it's so effective if just being aware and listen to that signal, respecting it but I sure look more and more at team KS, God forbid they come out with a MSX performance killer anytime soon they I will be forced to pay up. Til then it's just not interesting enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they changed it recently to 31mph would be great news!!! Update: just confirmed that you were able to convince KS to do 31mph. Amazing!

Jason, I heard they will be making the 100V also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, does that mean they have to do an overhaul of how the entire wheel-app interplay works? Will the app finally be able to read settings? Are we getting firmware update capability etc? Or will this be some kind of hack with the ooooooold tech?

That's not my quote. But Nikola has the board on the top just like KS so water shouldn't be an issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
