First, I was trying to frankenstein it by using my KS-18A motor (1200W nominal) and new AY+ board, failure 1. Then, I was trying to go full new AY+ motor with another new AY+ board (if I'm remembering correctly), and that failed as well. The failures were that the wheel would either shake; or have this weird, non-level balance; or do weird tiltbacks. At the end, in some form, it did kind of ride, but not to the point I trusted it. I think it might have to do with hall sensors, but not sure. Either way, the AY+ motor and one of the AY+ boards are brand new, but I got so tired of trying over and over, and basically gave up when I procured a proper KS-18S.

Might have needed to upgrade the battery line. KS stated that this minor change was necessary when I discussed upgrading to the S with them on my AY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scatcat Posted January 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) 12 hours ago, houseofjob said: Hmmm.... I actually have a brand new KS-18AY+ motor and some AY+ boards, all courtesy of one generous @Jason McNeil in my failed KS-18A to KS-18AY+ upgrade attempt. I'd be willing to ship them to you for just the cost of shipping (or a simple hand-off, if you're ever in the NYC area), if you wanted to take another stab at fixing it . Yes, I remember his v1-to-v2 conversion, but his current signature says he's waiting for an MSX, and that his GT16v2 is "now f*cked up royally", whatever that means. That means I have a battery problem, probably the BMS in combo with a bad cell. The bloody thing turned off when I was going close to 20mph/30kph. And it cracked the shell where the trolley was screwed in. I could probably fix it, but it would cost me a few hundred dollars. So it stands here two meters away and looks fine, but is unridable unless I have a death wish. Or to put it another way, I will not willingly invite another flight without wings at 20mph. I may not be so lucky as I was next time. Edited January 10, 2019 by Scatcat 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I decided to fix it, I really should fix a new shrink tube for the motor, new pedal arms, new pedal rubber, new screws and a new shell when I'm at it. Suddenly the only stuff left would be the motor, control-board and wiring... And that for a price that would be close to just buying a new one. Nah, I'll strip it and sell it for parts if someone's interested. But if I'm going to invest anyway, I'll invest in the current generation rather than the 2017 one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inductores Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 One of the ugliest cases I've ever seen... it's just the old GT16 case but half-cutted and extended (cheaper mould) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean eRide.ie Community Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 GT16S 1600/2072wh with a longer shell that accommodates more battery. They should be releasing details end of this month. https://m.facebook.com/groups/137300526890741?view=permalink&id=312554436032015 For the GT18, I heard a rumour: the stakeholders didn't put the money for its development yet. So it may happen or not, but not anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean eRide.ie Community Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 2072wh... That's a huge battery for a 16inch EUC, first time ever done. Now if you want over 1600wh the only option is a 22inch wheel (monster), which due to it's wheel size may even have less range (I heard 100km on the 2400wh model, which seems to be the same as people with the KS18XL 1600wh are getting). It will be interesting to see a real life range test, maybe 130km? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rywokast Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) is it just me, or does it appear that you would smash the hell out of the shell going over a speed bump or up a curb?? my ninebot would scrape the shell going up curbs all the time.. this looks even worse Edited April 18, 2019 by Rywokast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a trade of for the extra battery capacity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean eRide.ie Community Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Email from Iron Korea: Good morning. This is Iron Korea Kim Young-il. We decided to release the 92.4V IRON100 in April. However, due to the volatility of the world market caused by Covid-19, the project was revised. We will start a new project by investing more in overseas products that we have decided to release. I will collect your opinions as much as possible. Currently, 84V 3000W products have been completed in accordance with domestic (Korea) laws. This is the last video we tested. It will be sold in Korea as a limited edition. It is a pity that the overseas release has been delayed, but we are continuing. I will approach you with better products. Covid-19 Please be careful. Thank you for your interest.

meepmeepmayer Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 So essentially it is cancelled (after some limited Korea sales) and they will make a new model for the worldwide market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The slower one on video?). Korea only. 4) Seing the acceleration in the video, with a light driver i guess (two displays...hmmm) kinda took the interest out of it for me.

Boogieman Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Korea = Samsung top cells are a given. Graphene batteries would make my heart melt 100V or maybe even 126V like the upcoming Nikola? To speed 75-80 km/h Angled pedals with adjustable angle Built in front (white), rear (red) light and left/right direction light (orange). Built in EU approved reflexes. Red rear, white front, orange on rim spokes (or side of wheel) LOOOUUUUD BEEPER for safety (+ one for horn... Adjustable sound level?) Bushings for pedals and pedal holder (plastic is fine if right material is chosen) making it basically maintenance free in that area. NICE CABLE MANAGEMENT!!! WITH safety in mind. Good quality BMS Good quality charger with quick charge and full charge option selectable on switches (with read out display on battery condition, charge state and so on) Smart tilt back (battery charge level dependent) Helicoil inserts everywhere there is a screw and SOLID construction (no plastics breaking on crash), maybe some rubber suspended solution for covers to allow more of an impact IP 65 :-) to resist rain Anything else? Oh, maybe choice of colour (like contrast colour). Speaker, only if it won't get destroyed in a crash, i can live without it EASY (why play music for the wind when there are head phones?
