I double checked with the team, technically it works but better to have the original v10 pedals. I received your email, thank you for reaching out.

Planemo Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Take a look at this Ninebot plate, taken off my Z6 but I believe the E is the same. Note the amount of ribbing coming off the hinge area, specifically it is all running in the correct plane of stress. This looks to be a pretty good design imo. Has there been any reports of NB plates breaking? Edited April 15, 2020 by Planemo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destru Vk Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Broken pedal after a fall in offroad. surely the pressure of my leg in the fall was extremely strong. 95kg weight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for what happened to you, have you contacted with local distributor for free pedals? We believe its the same batch raw materials, we reported to the supplier. Sorry again, hope you can enjoy your riding soon again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 As to be expected the pedal failure has not been a single isolated case and there are obviously more to come. It will be interesting to follow how quickly InMotion is able to react and correct the design failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking to add some myself, but my idea was to add a broad piece of tape between the speakers up till the scorpion trolley handle. Your method looks way nicer, so I did the same to my V10. Bonus advantage : it looks like I've upgraded to a V10F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have it on both sides of the rim as well (caked in dirt and useless). Looks much better on the G3 rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrii Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Just got my pedal cracked recently. I was lucky enough to notice it before it fell off. Did no heavy jump offs. Only jumped down from curbs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Holy smoke. There is no way in the world I would be trusting these footplates to one more ride. Inmotion needs to issue a recall or at least supply serial numbers of potentially affected plates (if its a material issue rather than a design issue). Theres enough failures now to provide evidence of a fault rather than rider abuse IMO. Edit: actually is that a V10 plate?

Joker10 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Looks like a Gotway pedal. Pedals get a lot of stress on them. Inspect them regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did edit my post about 30secs after posting questioning whether it was indeed a V10 plate. In any event I still have reservations about the V10 plates. They just shouldnt break. Over engineered being the key for an item like this. Make it twice as heavy if needed. Or maybe we should be inspecting our axles and anything else that bears weight as well, on the basis that it 'might' break. I have never broken a pedal axle or wheel axle in 35 years or cycling, and that includes downhill punishment at Morzine. (Of course I am not saying that either cant break, just that it would need serious abuse to do so or be an inferior part to start with).

This looks to be a pretty good design imo. When a Ninebot One E+ (or any other EUC) goes tumbling in a crash or walkoff the stresses applied to the pedals as they hit the pavement no longer correspond to what looks like good design for plane of stress distribution. The pedal edges can get hammered from both in and out of plane impacts stressing the points of attachment.

Planemo Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Totally agree. That said, it wouldnt be too hard to stress test a footplate in a rig. In fact I would expect all the big players to have done so. I wonder what the results were on a V10, and over how many cycles. If they wont/dont/cant afford to do that then at the very least they should be over-engineering them to be pretty sure. Simply from a material and design appearance, the V10 plates dont look strong enough to me. By over-engineer, and taking it to extremes, I very much doubt a 6082 alloy billet plate would ever snap. Hell, even a cast chinese pot-metal plate would be better as long as it was solid. Weight nor cost should be an issue here, I would just want something that would never, ever fail unless maybe the wheel took a tumble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Farrenkopf Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 WTF????? I’m 260 pounds and 6’3” tall naked. I bought this wheel because it was advertised as the max weight of 120 kg. I have never fallen off my V10F nor has it ever been dropped on the side. Not a scratch on it except from my shoes. I am now freaking disturbed at this revelation. If I fall and injure myself because of a pedal failure from just riding it, you better be fucking insured because you will be sued for negligence in the engineering design of this pedal.

Good luck with that. Is inmotion a US or Chinese company? 260lbs! be afraid, be very afraid. You sound like me when I learned my KS14C was prone to cracked axles. Babied it as much as possible....axle still cracked. and I'm only 171lbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Farrenkopf Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I am worried. They advertised it as a wheel engineered from the ground up. Static load of 120kg (264 pounds) on the pedals needs to be designed at least 3 times total load on each pedal. No way that pedal will achieve that load especially if applied near any outside edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) 58 minutes ago, Harold Farrenkopf said: No way that pedal will achieve that load especially if applied near any outside edge 110% in agreement. Saw it coming with the wish for even larger pedals... Going to titanium, may be ? Underinflated tires can aggravate even further everything. Hit the rim and a crack will surely develop.

Harold Farrenkopf Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 What will INMOTION and INMOTION USA do about this poor pedal design? Does there exist a pedal that will fit and be stronger than this one? Summer riding season is here now and I need a solution to this now.

Smoother Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 On 4/7/2019 at 1:43 PM, Smoother said: So it looks like the only unusual input here is your weight, and possibly a porous cast of that pedal. Speaking of the pedal, it doesn't seem to have any metal structure on the top surface, only a rubber foot pad. That doesn't seem like a strong design. The only structure taking the load is that little block in the middle which has nothing to attach at the top (where it would be strongest) @Jason McNeil recently mentioned that Inmotion pedals fit Gotway. By default this works the other way too. Why don't you get some Gotway pedals? (assuming they are built more solidly than this). You know your other pedal is probably weakened so for peace of mind you are going to need two anyway. I posted this on page one. Have you considered a pair of Gotway pedals? Although breakages have been reported there too, but none recently that I'm aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
