Popular Post Asphalt Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 EUCO just did an unboxing of the new InMotion V8f. It looks a little bigger, has V10 pedals and built-in side pads. Looking forward to learning more about the internals and specs. I just hope they were able to keep a reasonable weight and weather-resistance, as the V8 has been a very ergonomic commuter wheel. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess that doesn’t stop a man from dreaming. Looks like it will be 480Wh like the V8. 16S has 840Wh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a shame. I know that the wheel has a niche market but adding a few batteries to get above 600wh seems like a an obvious needed improvement. After all 840wh is starting to look pretty small. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed, my V8 has Kenda 1.95" tire. Can I ask which 2.125 tyre you guys have for the V8, looking for a bigger tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcatraz Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 If it's 84V then either it's 40 cells 18650@3500=525Wh @3400=510Wh 40 cells 21700@5000=750Wh @4800=720Wh 60 cells 18650@3500=788Wh @3400=765Wh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad0z Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Less than 600wh is basically a no go for me in any case. Atleast 600... But like 480, what will that get you? Like 20km? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 20km? My range distribution records show that using 400Wh (83%) of the 480Wh battery would get my 80kg as far as 20km in 90%, 26km in 50% and 34km in 10% of the trips I made, depending on how hard and fast I was riding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 480wh still reasonable for short commute ( 16" wheel are not really mean for long commute I guess) I commutes daily: - 14km (7km each way). - all led and headlight are on. - speed is mostly > 20, 25 km/h and up to 30, 35 every time I can. and my battery is rarely dip under 60% each day. But I will really surprise if V8F don't have bigger battery, consider the case is much bigger than V8.

It looks taller, but look at the bottom. It's riding higher. Is the case actually bigger? Hmm, I guess it is slightly egg shaped vs circular.

The guys in the vid and myself seem to see a casing very similar to the original one, though elevated by the bigger tire. I'd guess they use pretty much the same shell. Time will tell.

Hopefully they can jam more batteries in it or at least remove the plastic battery case like some of the guys here did the mods <== and V8 owner can have the option to buy the new battery pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that it gives an additional layer of protection and it makes switching the battery somewhat more handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like 480, what will that get you? Like 20km? Yes, My heavy 230lb/105kg butt gets about 12-13mi (right about 20km) with somewhat hilly terrain. A far cry short of the stated "31mi of total freedom" the marketing material says, My biggest complaint. An extra pound or 2 to increase that by 50% would be well worth it, not to mention if it has extra safety margin for high current draw situations. Also wish it could play music (it has a speaker!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rywokast Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 with that small of a battery its next to useless.. ill stick to my v5f+ 420 wh as a backup and very short distances wheel as thats an extremely compact super light little wheel can throw it around easily and fit it anywhere... the only way anything is going to replace my 16s as a city wheel is if it can sustain at least 40 kph for most of the battery and has higher pedals.. otherwise the 16s is a fantastic all around city commuter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mono Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) The outer dimensions are exactly the same as the V8, as to be expected. Videos can be deceptive at times Edited October 31, 2019 by Mono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
