Maybe it's nice on flat pavement but not on bumpy trails? Medium is OK, but hard fits my needs better. Yeah i like soft mode on the flat for carving, for hills it would be hard mode 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Shad0z Posted September 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2019 its so strange. i got to try a ks16x a few days ago. even at the hardest mode. its like you can make the pedals dip the first 100ms of acceleration. if you do it hard it honestly makes me feel like i cant trust it. like if it is just going to fall. also i tried braking on it. wow it was like trying to brake a car with the wheel. it just wouldn't stop its a good wheel. definetly improvements since the earlier ks wheels. but gotways just have an edge here. the nikola aswell which i tried 1 day prior to trying the 16x 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotway doesn't just have an edge - they're in a completely different class. This is new information. I guess the 100V Nikola and the 16X speed throttling issues really drove it home. Before that we had the MSX (which is rock-solid and awesome) and the 18XL which seemed very fine, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post R2D2 Posted October 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hi, I got the same issue with mine (one week old) FW 1.0.7 severe pedal dip... Bluetooth patch did solve the problem on my wheel Patch -> restart: problem still exist -> calibrate -> restart and now it's fine 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post eddiemoy Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 Funny thing is I've not seen this issue reported anywhere. I've not had this issue with either my 18L or 16X. Maybe you just have a defective wheel. Why don't you borrow someone else's 16X and try it. Also never understood why anyone would like soft mode. But there are those that do. The only thing superior on the 100V Nikola is the higher top speed. Nothing else. I own both just like you and I still prefer the 16X most of the time. But given the 100V, the Nikola it is supposed to be faster, but it doesn't feel quicker. I guess your 100V Nikola is also superior at self-destructing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend who has a 16x is facing exactly the same issue. So my guess is that it is not just a few defective wheels. Honestly i like the way the nikola handles better. It does not have the little delay in response thst the ks has even in the hardest mode. So smooth. Aswell as a good soft mode. I dont see why anyone would use soft mode either. On kingsong that is. Gotway nailed it with soft mode. Same response just more floaty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The significantly higher top speed. To many people, that’s the only thing that matters. (You know the battery is bigger as well, right?) Its the difference between a 50cc scooter and a 150cc scooter. I can’t take my Kingsong on the roads, it’s too slow and annoys drivers. My Nikola on the other hand has enough top speed to not only stay with traffic but to be able to pass when needed. While top speed might be the “only” thing the Nikola does better, that’s arguably all it needs to do better to be better than the 16x for many users.

R2D2 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Does anyone have any issue after BT patch? Now I experimented twice pedal tilt (quiet severe), not brutal reaction, then lowering the pedals back very slowly...

Maybe if you are very picky, you can say that it sometimes tilts slightly forward on slow u-turns or sharp curves. But that's so little that I'm not even sure whether it's imagination or reality. If I don't have any delusions and it is true, it doesn't bother me a bit, so that I rack my head about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) yes, that's it. After patching the wheel is fixed. Indeed on u-turns But nothing to worry about, it feels safe and not annoying. At first I was thinking it's my imagination Thx @buell47, finally I can enjoy my wheel Edited October 6, 2019 by R2D2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you over estimate the importance of top speed. What I’ve seen is Top speed isn’t that important to most, or else everyone would buy GW. Much more people own wheels that are slower than 31mph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same response just more floaty There is zero delay riding the ks16x. I use experienced mode always. I think you maybe using the wrong mode. With experienced mode, the KS16x is quicker than the Nikola. My seat of the pants feeling. Also if you slap the Kuji side pads on for added leverage it accelerates like a bat out of hell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious, do you have any statistics to back this statement up? Anecdotally, most people I personally know have very fast wheels or are saving to get a very fast wheel. But of course I'm not making an across-the-board declaration. I'd love to know how many wheels of each have been sold. It's a mystery as far as I'm concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a big city I wouldn’t see the use of faster than 31mph. But I live and ride in suburban/countryside areas lol. There are roads that are 35mph (which means 40 for a car) that have no bike lanes that I want to ride down instead of going slowly down the rough, uneven sidewalks. Acceleration is important if the street lights are close together. But top speed rules for long cruising between lights. I want a Monster for this purpose but I don’t think I’d like the dramatic difference between the nikola and it acceleration wise. @Marty Backe I assume @eddiemoy means much more people own wheels that are not 100v. Which would be true considering there are less 100v wheels than others.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then probably Jason has made the patch for you already, if he is as good as everyone says. Without the patch I had extreme tilting forwards and backwards all the time, partly so strong that it threw me off. But as I said, only extreme when music was playing. Without music it was acceptable with slight tilting here and there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
