WaveCut Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, h3X said: How many new cells did you use for your mod? Inmotion is 84v wheel so the options are around 20SxP config. Stock is 20S2P, and most of the modded wheels is 20S3P which is 60 cells. If you want to reuse existing battery then you'll need to add 20 cells.

Meserias Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 if you need something this summer get a Gotway 2100 Wh Nikola Plus.... otherwise I don't think InMotion will release anything this year... and to be an earlier adopter come with a price... The big problem that I see with GW latest (!) wheels it's construction build quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniVehje Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 It would be great if they released the new wheels already this year. Then the first batch beta wheels could be tested and problems fixed before next spring. I would probably buy then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set aside? Delayed? Some improvements?) Hi Sam - Suggest you go back and look at the threads introducing the V10F that began about a year and a half ago. The launch was riddled with delays, promises not kept, and frustrated customers. I'd suggest this may be how InMotion operates. The V10F is now a great wheel, but it was recalled for waterproofing (you can read all about that too.) No wheel or wheel company is perfect and they all have their quirks. I'd suggest that InMotion is generally great when it comes to reliability, fit and finish, but not great when it comes to timely product announcements and meeting deadlines. Just my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's coming, refresh of the V8, renamed the V8F: nothing revolutionary, it's going to be a solid option for first time Riders, seeking for a decent lightweight Wheel.

So preproduction test wheel is very soon. 🙂 Lightweight wheels are good for : back up wheels, training wheels for friends & family, using public transportation or having lots of stairs or even budget wheels. So definitely a refresh is welcome here, there is a market for a V8F. However the previous posts were indicating for this V8F for a suspension system, which would have been revolutionnary. So i am a bit disappointed to hear that the wheel has nothing revolutionary.😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing they learned from last time and will announce it only when close to shipping. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really would be nice to have a +50% capacity battery option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrelwood Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2019 Inmotion themselves confirmed on the previous page that the battery capacity will stay the same. But I guess that doesn’t stop a man from dreaming. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
