Hsiang Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 I had the wheel longer than Chris and was able to get some solid riding time in; may be 50 miles? so I'll try to do a quick summary: Problems- the high speed lumps, at top speed, around 28mph or above, the wheel has a slight shake, it feels like you are running across a series of painted lines on the road. This was an improvement from before bust still noticeable. The firmware still feels beta, the battery level stick at 100% so I have no idea how much power I have left. haven't dug in to see if there are any other weirdness. The wheel- This is the most fun wheel I have ridden so far. There I said it, I love the Z10 more, however it is a wild ride and you need to constantly be on top of it. The 16x have the same sense of weight and stability in turns but is completely predictable. Acceleration and braking both feels smoother than the Z10, more subdue which is both a good and bad thing. The wheel is dead quiet, in a quiet room I can actually hear the hum when I turn on its head light. no one will know when you come up behind them. You can ride at the top end (31mph), but I feel slightly iffy doing it. However I feel more confident doing so than when I am riding the Z10. It is very very maneuverable, carving feels great on this wheel. the body feels very comfortable between your legs, I like to keep my right leg bend with my right knee right up against the body, works very well with this wheel. They weren't kidding about the trolley handle, compare to the handle on this, the one on a z10 is like a random tree branch you picked up on the road and duct taped to the wheel. Head lights works very well, I don't like lights in general but the angle and spread works fine. The placement of the LED strip is not ideal; its right on the corner and unprotected, if the wheel takes a tumble there's a good chance the lens will get scratched, cracked or what have you. Not sure about real range, since I can't see the battery level, but I rode the wheel hard today 30 miles including up and down the tall Queens borough bridge twice and no throttling at all. Have to say this again, this is a fun FUN wheel to ride. Will try to answer any question anyone have; wheel is going to Tishawn next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
