chrisjunlee Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Let's say 0-20mph. Which EUC would have the fastest acceleration? I figure it would be the mten3 or the MCM5. Not sure what the torque curves would be for either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 The question is two-fold: fastest in absolute terms measured with a stop watch, or fast with the least amount of effort required by the rider? Absolutely fastest, the MSX should do very well, but might require angled sidepads for the rider to be able to utilize the wheelâs power. The Nikola (with a 2nd gen fixed control board) should also be at the top of the list. Feeling fastest by the least amount of effort, Iâd guess the MCM5 would be the winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjunlee Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 The 18" MSX can out accelerate the MCM5 and mten3?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you understand the difference in the different categories of acceleration? Acceleration for the least amount of effort (or perceived acceleration) is one thing, absolute measured acceleration is another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the torque model would be for these hub motors. We could easily calculate the torque if we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjunlee Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Now only if they made a 100v 2000W mten3 đĽ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Kim Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 i think trying to gauge fastest acceleration is pointless on an EUC, as it defeats the purpose of them. Theyâre designed to be an extension of your body, not a vehicle. With that said, it would be impossible to get a true apples to apples comparison due to inconsistency of a persons angle and the corresponding safety mechanisms (tiltback / overcurrent alarms). If you want something for pure acceleration, look into an electric scooter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
