ojek Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi, As title says, I am looking to get my first wheel, I have around $1500 (this includes VAT) to spend on the wheel. As majority of the community seems to be around 150lbs - 200lbs, me being 265lbs guy does not make the task of picking the right wheel easy. I am worried about cut-offs, so safety is a priority here. What is community's recommended wheel, given above parameters? Can you guys guide me a bit here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriull Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Welcome @ojek! According to ewheels.com chart with recommended weight the selection is small: Maybe the Tesla coild work out pricewise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojek Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Thanks @Chriull! Chart sure is very informative! Too bad it does not list all available positions! Recently I was looking up V10F and KS16S - seems like KS16s is a much more responsive which is a positive, but then again it has 1200W/3000W motor, whereas V10F has 2000W/3000W motor. Not sure if that has any relevance here though. Also I've read somewhere KS16s tyre is rated at 70KG/~150lbs, which is a bit worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atdlzpae Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 A fellow fatty I see. You'll need to take official ranges and divide them by 2. Inmotion V10F seems like a good deal. 500km, pretty much new: https://www.olx.pl/oferta/monocykl-elektryczny-inmotion-v10f-pokrowiec-gwarancja-do-2020-CID767-IDzLn57.html But some people don't like it: https://forum.ecojazda.pl/index.php/start/inmotion/390-v10f-zablokowany-limit-maksymalnej-predkosci-do-34-km-h?start=20#7594 Inmotion V8 lacks power for us fat people. Gotway MSuper V3 is also available cheaply: https://www.olx.pl/oferta/monocykl-gotway-msuper-v3-CID767-IDAsf3F.html https://www.olx.pl/oferta/monocykl-elektryczny-gotway-msuper-v3s-1600wh-84v-CID767-IDAtGet.html I can't comment on it as I've done no research on it. If you find positive reviews, this may be the best choice. On paper they look solid. I have KS16S 840Wh and it's a love-hate relationship. It drives very well, has a lot of power, 35km of range, off-roads in the forest no problem. But I've had to replace the inner tube every so often. And replacing the tube is not fun - it's not a wheel you open easily. :-/ Personally I plan to buy MSuper X some day. But that's outside of your budget. Thus I recommend MSuper V3S, KS16S or V10F in that order. Then if you can spare $500 more, MSuper X or KS18XL - both have their advantages over the other.

meepmeepmayer Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 There was one (just one) report where a 120kg guy overleaned a KS16S. I think a stronger wheel is better. V10F for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
