I think it would be very cool to watch your speed from your wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really not difficult to make for a company that already produces that kind of hardware/smart watches/... . The problem is that the market is too small.

Popular Post BleepBloopBlop Posted August 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Day 6 300 mile update: I went out and ripped off 47.9 miles over a couple hours. I started with a full charge and am now down to 68.7 volts resting. I was throttling me a big but I was still able to cruise at over 40kph at the end before hitting tilt back. This is my first EUC and it has really opened up me getting out and exploring the whole area I live in! Edit: I work full time haha. My GF complains she never sees me anymore!

Popular Post mrelwood Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Quote I would think their employees in China tried many different types of tires and pick that one. I would hope that’s what happened. Wouldn’t that be nice? I’m 98% sure that didn’t happen though. KS reported that due to the negative feedback on the pre-production ChaoYang H-5146 they will go back to the early demo version tire (=CST C-1488, same as Nikola). Instead they picked a no-name that is equally bad or worse for the exact issues that were reported. Trying out various tires for picking the best doesn’t seem to fit logically in any part of the line of events. I’m pretty sure @UniVehje has the correct theory, that too much of the current and future stock the C-1488 was bought up by Gotway. 16x3.0” is a rare size for any vehicle, so there is not a lot of production going on. Gotway choosing the 1488 for Nikola probably already required the tire manufacturer to up their production for that model quite a lot. Then Mr. MeToo KingSong also calls in for a deal worth another 3000% of previous production. No can doo. So they use anything they can get their hands on for cheap enough, preferably from the distributor that is run by the KS boss’s cousin. Quote I really wonder what Gotway has to do with the KS16X. Everyone keeps mentioning them They have to compete, that’s what. Edited August 5, 2019 by mrelwood 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, if you have an e-wheels 5A rapid charger, you can use that with the stock charger to charge at 6.5A. You can ask Jason for a plug adapter as well (Gotway to Kingsong). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleepBloopBlop Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Has anyone verified the 16X mileage estimates? They seem generous to me but I haven't done any calibrated rides to verify. I'll go do a set loop tonight of about 5 miles and compare to the log out of curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mishkin Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) On the subject of watches, I have a Pebble Time Steel ("Pebble 2") strapped to my wrist guards that connects to the WheelLog app on my Android phone. The Pebble battery lasts for ages, and button shortcuts can be created to quickly switch it into flight mode, so if you only use it when riding it only needs charging every week or more. I've also tested a Pebble Steel ("Pebble 1"), which is black and white but otherwise equally functional. The Pebble has a reflective screen so has great daylight visibility and a backlight (on wrist flick) functionality at night. The top velcro threaded through the strap pin lifts up so I can access the charging connection on the underside of the watch. the Pebble Steels charging connection is on the side of the watch so you could possibly mount it even easier. Don't know about the Garmin support but the Pebble is worth it if you can get it set up - which is a little tricky now that it's original OS is not officially supported but the WheelLog thread I think covers this.

It is fine to use 2x standard chargers, or 2x other chargers (same model/type). If you don't want to take my word for it ask you dealer (assuming @Jason McNeil). This has been stated before by KS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
