I've read somewhere that @Gasmantle V5F is a bit better than mine, regarding both, the range and the top speed Pog, at the moment I've got my V5F limited to 12mph while I learn to ride it but think the quoted max speed is 16mph. As for the range on full charge the app says 24.1 miles is left but I think that is optimistic, it's difficult to assess at the moment as I'm still practising so my current riding is very much stop - start over short distances. If we get chance to meet up for a ride along the old railway line it would be interesting to compare the 2 machines.

We gonna meet for sure Regarding the mileage, app is showing over 17miles on mine E+ , but I've wrote of 11 or 12 miles due to battery ... I can go farther if the battery gets down to 20%, but it's not a joy then... It'll be the same for yours, though. I guess you might be ok riding the distance upto 20 miles? The remain 4miles is where you battery gonna get down to 20%... Then the speed will be reduced down to 3 or 5 mph, which is unpleasant experience. I were there, and I got on the bus to get home The E+ was tilting me backward frequently, making me very unhappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like I've got a new wheel MSX v2😊 My legs are locked in solid, the grip tape is amazing ,i have extra leverage and my feet have ample room , turning into corners at speed feels a bit like the z10, my feet are that locked in it just pulled the wheel over when you lean with no effort, Maneuverability is also better, it feels like your legs are clamped onto the wheel and just becomes another extension of your legs, going slow is stable ,turning sharp corners is excellent the angle is better than there MSX. my speed has gained also. Going over bumps speed bumps was a joy my feet didn't slip forward anymore due to my feet hanging over the edge on the old pedals, thee outside edge of my feet now fit on the whole pedal on Doesn't dig in on the edge ,,, they really are comfy,,, overall I'm extremely happy I didn't know new pedals could change a wheels characteristics like it has. For £90 it's worth the upgrade you have ample more room on your feet it helps with grip it helps with a different position on your legs in a good way . I've done several videos today I will upload them in time but here i have one already done from today's ride/test Thank you for your feedback.

Popular Post stephen Posted May 6, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2019 Carving on the MSX with the new Nikola pedals😊 Just thought I'd do a video of the carving abilities with the new pedals , Better for throwing the msx around plus better acceleration and braking , it would be hard to give these a pedal scrape ,i really am liking these its like a new wheel MSX v2 😊 recommended highly 😁 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelec_947 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 In fact what I wanted to know is that by changing the original pedals of the MSX that have a strong angle I'm looking for something quite flat like my tesla. do we currently find this angle?

stephen Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 It's the hanger what puts the angle on , not the pedal i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a year ago i wasn't riding at all, you seem to forget about the wheel under your feet and it just comes naturally, yeah it is a nice feeling ,a bit like skiing if you've ever done it, the turns was tighter than they look, thoroughly enjoyed it ..

Better braking is the best aspect that makes me decide to do the same thing. Better acceleration and comfort are also welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
