They will be at the airport Friday and probably delivered to him tues/Wednesday so probably out for shipment Friday ,, fingers crossed 😊👍

Great content finally putting some data and numbers to what we've all been feeling in our feet and legs (and knees and back).

 I loved the video  , it's nice to see a bit of data ,, very impressed 👍

Fantastic!  I hope this becomes a standard for how wheels are compared - brilliant approach.

@redfoxdude made the video.  Tagging him so he's sees the good feedback.

Reinforced screw point on saddle part. 

Pretty low-tech. I find it hilarious. 

I mean it works(?) but I was expecting something more... Refine? 

Either way. There we go. Lol. 

 

Edit: I realise this is probably a temporary fix with the parts they already got in stock.

Fixing the part properly means retooling a mold. This takes time depending if you gonna add/subtract material (making indents in a part takes more effort cos you are adding metal to the mold and subtracting from the volume of the part)

This has to be a temporary fix because I can se an issue with it. The plastic part is gonna break eventually. So when it does, this metal piece could possibly add some rattle. Just maybe.

Why would it? It doesn’t break until it bends, and there’s no longer room for it to bend.

As you know, that plastic piece is very thin. It's been breaking on first day for quite a few riders. I just don't see how that metal piece will prevent it from breaking. They should just remove the plastic and add the metal as the replacement. Also, looking at my saddle, the screws are placed on the soft foam part of the saddle. How will these screws stay in place securely??? These are some of the concerns Im having. Regardless, this saddle issue is not big at all. It really doesn't prevent you from the riding experience. But, I would like @Inmotion Global to just make a stronger saddle in general. I get that this is a pretty good solution for now, but we all spent quite a bit of money on the V11. Being this is my first purchase of an EUC, I would like to have my saddles intact. I don't wanna be reminded every time I look it that its been damaged since day 1 and to still be waiting for any type of response from EUCO since August 12. I also get that Inmotion is working hard to solve the issue.

Just had an update for the Inmotion App but I don't really see much changes. Did anyone else notice anything different? It all looks the same to me. Thought they would add some new feature for the V11. Guess we have to wait for a firmware update.

Remote diagnostic seems like a good feature. 

I wonder if the "incorrect display of some parameters" refers to the overstated speed?

Hi All,

I haven't been able to figure this out, does the V11 have rebound damping in the suspension?

I think the early beta versions only had a bottom cylinder in the shocks, but perhaps the release version has a top/bottom configuration that allows the adjustment of rebound??

Production v11 has a negative chamber, located at the top. Recommend to fill the negative chamber between 50 to 80psi

sorry to sound ignorant, but does this control the rate of rebound?

It does affect the rate and extension of the rebound as well. It’s not a separated parameter however, and the overall experience changes considerably on several aspects.

old news to everyone here, but this seems like a lost opportunity. Front shocks for mountain bikes are such a very well known and reliable technology, it seems InMotion need to partner with a suspension company just like most of the mountain bike producers do.

I have looked into finding 3rd party shocks that would fit the V11, but I’ve come out empty so far. The issue seems to be that every manufacturer has slightly different kinds of fork cartridges for each fork  model, so there doesn’t exist a common or a standard model. Like there is for the rear shock.

 Inmotion said that the shock is a custom unit, and that other suitable units don’t exist on the market.

 If it weren’t for the issue in the first paragraph of this post, I’d agree that it’s a lost opportunity. But as it is, I don’t know how they could’ve done any better.

I must admit, the V11 suspension looked proprietary from the moment I saw it (unlike the S18). That doesn't mean all is lost though, a good MTB suspension specialist may well be able to work on whats already there with different valving etc. Even adding 'tokens' (basically anything added to an air shock that takes up internal volume) can drastically affect the progression of the air compression curve. Even simply adding oil into the chamber can achieve the same result. I'm not sure if this is what you are after (I don't know if you are bottoming out) but my point is that anything can be done with enough understanding and will

Hi. What symbol does this connector have?
Thanks!

[stephen]

Got my V11 this morning😀😊😊

After Marty and overheat hill, Denis Hagov also had an unexpected cut off due to temperature (11mn28s). I really hope they improve this aspect with at least an audio and tilt-back warning:

This wheel is amazing done 1 hour riding and decided to see what backwards was like😊,, bloody excellent,,,,, its like riding on cotton wool ,, bloody love it

When turning sharp the suspension  pushes down and makes the turn soft what a feeling, I'm try do some video tomorrow

I can see that happening to anyone. He's in very hot weather where there is no wind and hes consistently going up a hill to take a shot.You are stressing the wheel by doing that, which will lead to overheating. Agree they should definitely have some sort of warning though.

 It's good to see that he realized that he should have turned on forced cooling. Videos likes this are good because it gives you the cause and the possible solution. You will only figure it once it happens to you. I know on hot summer days, I will be turning on that option for sure.
