null Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I'm looking at an inexpensive MS3 that could be nice for my brother, however he weights about 90Kg (200pounds), would that be suitable or is the axis too thin? It was first purchased in 2016 so it probably doesn't have the thicker axis of the later versions.. Thanks for any insight!

meepmeepmayer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I can't recall the ms3 ever having axle problems. And 90kg is't that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Backe Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Yes, the MSuper V3's never got the thicker axle treatment. That being said, I personally know 200+ pound guys who rode that and other Gotway wheels (ACM) with the same axle and never had issues. Broken axles usually come about from the abuse that comes from lots of jumping (off curbs, etc). He should be fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 2016 means 67.2V? Just be careful with hills, it might have the oooold shitty motor connectors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 It was just the bad motor connector time. I don't know if there were ever problems with those on the 67.2V wheels, but if there were, maybe best to just solder the wires together.

lirva Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I also bought older 67 volt msuper and like it very much. 3000kms on wheel now. No issues with 100kg rider. I have jumped curbs and abuse the hell out of it, but I like more softer tyre pressures. Edited September 11, 2019 by lirva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
