Popular Post Peter Q Posted May 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) It cost $2,639.00 in Aliexpress, will wait for Ewheels, if Jason will sell that. I like this more that KS16X. Start to like Gotway after own the ACM2 1600wh 2000w motor , Awesome wheel. KingSong fail me too many times: KS14C broken axle, KS16S broken control board, KS18AY broken motor. My next wheel will be Black 2019 Monster 2400wh 84V or this Nikola Plus 1845wh 100V. Peter Q Edited May 31, 2019 by Peter Q 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Anything wrong with pulling the trigger and buying it off of AliExpress? Would love to buy from Jason, but he won't get these for months I'm sure, if ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong to buy a $2k+ wheel from AliExpress, but I trust EWheels product 's warranty and Jason's customer service is the Best, I don't mind the wait, I bought all my EUCs from him.

If EWheels doesn't carry the wheel that you want, what choice do you have but to buy direct from China? You will be more on your own for service because you'll have a hard time finding any parts locally - EWheels will only sell parts to their customers, an understandable policy.

Michael Tucker Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Looks like griptape instead of the new plastic material on the pedals in the photo @houseofjob posted. Maybe those large Nikola pedals are different from current ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little night riding will probably be the first thing that I do. The cool ring lights on this wheel really attracted me to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really like to hear what you think compared to the MCM5 or the MTen3. Is it as zippy? The Mten3 10" 800W and MCM5 14" 1500W are zippy. I wonder if 2000W 16" would feel the same. I love the feeling of power off the line, esp when I feel the need to catch up to little one, which is pretty much every time I turn my head. I put my deposit down, but was awaiting more reviews before I pulled the trigger. I'm probably too late for Batch 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliexpress changes the links whenever the price of the item changes I believe. Prices go up the longer you wait. But don't worry, despite the bad english, Green Fashion Travaling Shop is legit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point there. I've had two of your three wheels, and two of your three problems (although the control board was a simple soldering job that my dealer fixed). Still cost shipping though and a month of lost riding. Fortunately the 16S is still going strong, but I'm hardly a high mileage freak.

A 16” wheel will never be as zippy as a 14” wheel with a hard pedal mode, such as the MCM5. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know what I'll be doing Sunday Looking forward to your impressions especially vs MSX and 18XL as that is what these *new* (cough ACM) 1600wh "16" inchers are going to end up contending with. This will be the heaviest 16 incher out there for now right? If the Nikola is similar to the MSX then it's not for me because I don't need a smaller version of something I have. If it's more like the 18XL then it could be something. The most important part for me is the whole leverage, center of gravity thing. A 1600wh MCM5 would fit the bill nicely. With higher pedals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 16” wheel will never be as zippy as a 14” wheel with a hard pedal mode, such as the MCM5. So i was thinking about this whole zippiness thing and nominal power rating correlation. So you're pretty sure no matter how much power you put into this 16" wheel, it WON'T give me more zippiness? what will it give me, just more top end?? so between nikola and plus, if I'm NOT a speed demon, aside from bigger battery, what other advantage would it have? will the higher amperage help it climb steeper hills or keep it cooler during those climbs? Trying to decide if I would wait for a plus. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
