I think it might work well together with the reflex on the mudguard. I can only guess from pictures and video clip. But still. I know some were posting it should have been placed higher on the wheel... I think they might have been smarter though. In dense traffic the reflex would get lid up anyway, and the reflection looks to go upwards in an angle. Where the light should lidt up sides a bit but also the ground. Whice should make wheel easier to spot. The night shots from NY made last year of the Z10 showed an example of what I try to explain. I hope @houseofjob might catch this in his videos if I am right or wrong. All respect of the NIkola looked like a classic KS in many ways with a hint of Inmotion. But I have never been a fan of glossy surfaces. Yes my car is kinda glossy, but yet it has metalic effect in the paint, so it almost hides minor scratches that is bound to come over time, if you use it. I were hoping I might have been able to paint outer cover in red metalic paint, but those leds will make this hard, I think. So if I only had @Lutalo wrapping skills.... I guess I have to see if the blackish look will grow on me... Carbon or not, it matters less to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V10 is too new to be replaced :D. Nothing is ever too new to be replaced... Then again I don't have a wife to persuade 😁. I just have to feed my cats some can of tunna and shrimps. They do evil 👀 at the wheel when I get home or power it up, but nothing I have yet not succeed to bribe away with can of fish. 😏. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Garrie Lim Posted June 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2019 Somemore updates. The motor whining sound is lessen lessen such to the point that it is like Gotway or even softer than Gotway wheels. It has been really improved to reduce the motor noise to an imperceptible level. turning left or right will also activate the blinking brake light. Motor performance has has been confirmed to be much improved compared to other wheels like the Nikola. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reviewer had very good impression overall. Mentioned that the wheel doesn't have the usual whiny noise typical of KingSong. He also liked the straight sides, found them to be very ergonomic with no pressure points. Also like the trolley handle but wished KS had put the power button on the top instead of in front. The pedals were found to be very comfortable also. He also liked the front light and led strips. On the negative side, he didn't think the break lights were powerful enough but still looked good. Also, he noticed little vibration as if the engine maybe not perfectly smooth, He preferred how Gotway glides more smoothly in comparison. He also mentioned that the unit he is evaluating is still the prototype version. Edited June 14, 2019 by Adel 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mike Paolini Posted June 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hate the look of the LED lighting - too spread out. Shame we didn't get to hear the motor given he recorded the sound of the other King Song at the beginning. Also really bothered that the reviewer is where mirrored sunglasses indoors... makes it hard to take him serious. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esso Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I might be one of those people super sensitivity to high pitches because the first thing that hits me in that video is the piercing motor whine. It's like ice picks in my ears. I had turn the sound all the way down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure she was show casing the KS16X to secure orders. I am sure that is why they tease the wheel with tiny details from time to time. It is hard to get dealers to commit if not you have a unique strong brand. Apple is one of the few companies that could pull this off...in the past, it is slowly fading.

mrelwood Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The pedals look attractively wide on the video, but guys... look at the dihedral angle of the pedals: It is pretty much zero! To me that sounds very iffy on a high-performance wheel with great off-road potential. Are they this aftaid of repeating the MSX mistake? I hope the production model will have at least some angle. Other than that though, I like the 16X a lot. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always added an angle to my ks pedals as I prefer more of an angle you feel more secure.. just used a piece of hard adhesive rubber trim where the pedal hits the bracket,, I can get it in lots of sizes locally to add a huge angle if I want.. is it just me or does that look like it's even bending down slightly?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the straight edge of a ruler etc. on your screen, they actually do look perfectly flat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effect of the fish eye lens. KS wheel all have a slight angle to the pedal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
