Mike Paolini Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 42 minutes ago, Mike Paolini said: I get these wobbles also - people keep telling me they are my feet not being parallel or otherwise rider induced - mostly during breaking, but they have happened at other times too. Haven't been able to make them go away, but I'll try reseting things - as I did try to connect to various apps to see if they would work at one point. Really hoping the firmware fixes this. @ir_fuel I think this actually helped, and I'm down to/back to firmware induced issues - fingers crossed (which is a strange thing to hope for).

I absolutely love the XL for carving, but it seems like that it’s just a tire issue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Daniel-Son Posted August 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2019 I just got back from my range test. This time I wanted to go at high speed for almost the whole way before throttling begins. My psi is at 42 and my weight is 215 pounds. 99% of the ride was on the sidewalk, so I felt every cracks and bumps which make for a very painful trip. My average speed was 26-28 mph. I was able to ride for 2hr 15min before throttling began, I managed to clock 55 miles (41 GPS miles). I couldn’t go above 24 mph without tilt-back. I slowed my pace down to around 20-22 mph for an additional 10 miles. My feet had tremendous amount of pain and could not continue to deplete the battery down, but I did get it down to show 2 LED’s left. My final miles 65.3 (47.9 gps) and the time was 2hr 48min. I think I could have squeezed 70mi (50 gps), but the pain was too intense and I didn’t want to walk home. First screenshot was at the first throttled tilt-back. Second and third screenshot was the completely done point. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post magicrobots Posted August 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2019 Holy shit you're an animal! 65 miles at full throttle sounds pretty impressive to me! Go get a foot massage! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want as little movement front-back as possible for me. I guess I can paraphrase what @houseofjobsaid a while back: soft mode allows you to dip your pedals farther and harder + allows you to maintain that position before the motor engages. Sport/hard mode corrects too fast. And it's the path to the most advanced acceleration technique: kitten kneading . It's the converse of heel pump braking, allowing you to input significantly stronger forward input without leg clamping. Basically, allowing you to achieve Kuji™ performance at ⅒ the effort 🤯. I have yet to unlock this skill, but you bet it's on my mind, especially on long hill climbs. 18 hours ago, Gustesta said: I really prefer wheels that are easy carving. Do you think the 16x is better at carving than the Z10? As a lightweight relatively new rider running low PSI, I have no issues carving on the 16X. BUT you will probably hate this wheel for the first 100 miles (I hated it first 200 miles). Keep that in mind and hang in there - you'll love it. This wheel feels so nimble-steady at 22+mph. 3 hours ago, stephen said: Nah he's got 0.1% battery left 😁 Just to be clear, that screenshot is during a hard uphill acceleration @17 mph I forgot to take a screenshot at rest (60 miles of riding = zombie brain) but IIRC it was around 13-19%. I'll see if I can look through the log for an exact number, since right before that hill is a busy blind intersection I stop at. 2 hours ago, BleepBloopBlop said: How are you exporting data to Excel? Wheelog. It has an option to backup logs to google drive. It's a gem of an app, and it even displays the battery % correctly unlike the official KS app Edited August 9, 2019 by chrisjunlee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel-Son Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 My next range test will be at a much lower speed (16-22 mph) so I can see how far and how long I can ride. Not sure if I have the will to do it but I will try my best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For myself: 16X. For normies: 16X after they've worked out the issues. And to be fair, I've only spent an hour on the 18XL. I just think the wider tire is more versatile. I have a MCM5, which is razor thin nimble, and I no longer desire to ride it. Edited August 9, 2019 by chrisjunlee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of "kitten kneading" technique. It sounds like some secret taichi/kung fu death blow technique. I must learn this. Please enlighten me, sifu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greentung Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hills everywhere in Seattle. Heck. I live in the middle of a hill. Throw in beat up roads, sidewalks with no ramps, and occasional biker trying to trip you up, it can be quite the adventure riding in Seattle. But what a time to be alive in the EUC era. With the road conditions in Seattle I will not buy another EUC with less than 3" wide tire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport/hard mode corrects too fast. And what exactly is the advantage of that? It means you hang a lot more forward for the same amount of acceleration input. I think for off roading it would be very unsuitable, considering how much I already need to lean on very steep hills. I would need to lean even further forward to overcome the "slack". 4 hours ago, Daniel-Son said: Typical Florida sidewalk. I was wondering what "sidewalk" allows you to ride at 25mph. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
