greentung Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 You should wipe rain drops off the GoPro every once in awhile. You have at least one hand free to do so. An impressive commute! Just wait til it is both rainy and cold. Maybe hook up an air hose from the EUC to run warm mosfet air up your leg and into your jacket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the MOSFET warming idea - those glue fumes though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my commuter wheel, and feels so much safer than the 16X (no pedal dipping at all). For slower in-town errands I use the 16X. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Stern Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I slightly startled a doe and her two fawns the other day (I've seen this trio a few times). As I got close they ran out of the road and in to someone's yard. As they did so, one of the fawns jumped over the hood of a parked Mercedes and clipped it with its hoof. I wouldn't be surprised if it left a nasty scratch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjunlee Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Forgot to mention I hit a new top speed: 42.9 mph! Updated yesterday's post with the wheelog screen The crazy part: that would translate to 51 mph on the MSX 100V (19/16 multiplier). If I just had more month of summer weather, I would overnight order the MSX 100V or the Monster 100V 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought so too, but the liftoff cutoff speeds seem to support it. If the motors have identical KV ratings, it would be a straight wheel diameter ratio multiplier (since they have the same RPM voltage limits). That's still an oversimplification of course, not factoring in the non-linear aspect: wind resistance and tire deflection. IIRC, Chooch hit 50mph on the MSX, and he's 7 lbs lighter than me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at my wet 💦commute video, you can see the pebble watch and GoPro GPS don't differ more than 1 mph at 35mph speeds - and they match for steady state. In this screen you can see GPS reports 36 mph, while wheelog reports 35 mph. 7 minutes ago, photorph said: So you are becoming a wheel collector essentially haha None of my wheels are selling @_@ MCM5 800Wh, price drop: $800 Edited September 12, 2019 by chrisjunlee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chooch was going down a steep hill when he hit 49mph. There’s no way you’d even come close to 51mph. But that’s a bet I wouldn’t make with you for your safety 😄 Edited September 12, 2019 by Darrell Wesh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, isn't the Nikola beeping at your speeds? There's hard motor RPM constraints so the beeps are there for a reason. Just saying Before you die because you don't want to believe that you can't test a EUC's top speed without crashing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheelLog has never been accurate for all of my wheels. Just hard to believe it really hit 43-mph. Used wheels don't hold their value very much. Had to sell my 840wh KS14S for $500. My 1600wh MSuper V3s+ for $800. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
