Meserias Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) i like very much how big it's ventilation area reserved for mainboard radiator... impressive Cooler mainboard, longer rides, no need to have that fan started always Edited July 19, 2019 by Meserias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unventor Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Well I had hoped production had begun shipping wheels this week. This means I am likely not to receive the wheel within my vacation even if I am to extend it. However, the great news is the solved status to the oscillation. As for look, I like that shape of the new tire choice too. That looks nothing less than brilliant. So now we are back to some weeks of hard test of patience. Now looking at my tag line to m,y KS18L bring out a big fat smile on my face. The KS16X is already doing that even before it is borne and in my hand or at my feet. What can possible go wrong now Edited July 19, 2019 by Unventor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzlchef Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Interesting that you’re high on the tire. Thought they were going with the same one as the Nikola but it’s not? I’m interested in seeing how the ride compares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the reason I reacted to the production ture pictures, is the curve of the tyre thread surface. to me it looks more U than a (_) like my KS18L has. To me that light make the lean turning smoother as it don't have the same edge to balance on. This is part reason I think the Z10 felt quiet good at low speed maneuvering while the lean turning didn't have that tip over effect if you go on titled pavements where my KS18L can be a struggle to cross a line with low attack angle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2019 I wonder what's happening with the pre-production model that @houseofjob has. If production is in full-swing and customers may have wheels by the end of next week, the pre-production wheel has lost it's value at this point. Time to get your video out the door Chris! 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, yeah, I'm trying to get it out, but if the early airship guys get stuff out first, so be it. Right now, I've just yesterday received shipment from KS of the new board (ups to 12 247 MOS from 9 smaller MOS of the OG board) and new tire they're using on the production models, but ran into a few hitches, as the I've punctured the inner tube (unsuccessfully patched) when swapping out to the new tire (Jason to the rescue, as he's expressing out a new inner tube ), and frustratingly, they've drilled screw holes on this new board heatsink that are wider than the previous board *smh, so I had to audible and go out and get a longer screw/nut combo as a hack fix. *Ugh, all this effort for what is in the end not my wheel. Oh well, I will get my 2 cents out on how the new board/ride feels at some point I guess. Edited July 19, 2019 by houseofjob 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the oscillator and tyre feedback made the pre-production wheels more or less obsolete. Adding the feedback on pedal angle I would expect KS to sort of freeze the demos of the pre-production.

Yeah, bound to hold a much better edge than your 18L, just wondering about the overall feedback. I'm looking forward to riding a 16X, someday, hopefully.

I'll believe this when I can actually feel this.... every time KS has claimed they've fixed the issue on the 16X, I never felt much of a change, issue persisted. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
