Popular Post Planemo Posted December 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Got this today, not even had a chance to ride it yet. Bought from Intelligent Walking Store, 42 days delivery to the UK which I was a bit miffed at as I had selected despatch from Spain (where it was showing stock). Seller claimed delays due to Brexit uncertainties but I am not convinced of that. Anyway, it's here now and I wouldn't have ridden it much anyway due to weather. I didn't know that the battery upgrade was done by Gotway themselves so I'm quite pleased to find that out - it shows the Wh on the original Kebye instruction book. Got a few mods planned for this - lift switch, Nikola pedals, carbon wrap behind pedals, black wheel, slime the tyre, do something with the chrome headlight bezel (which bugs me) and also I would like to do something with the horrendous circus lights - I may even end up building my own controller. I will 'fly-eye' the front and rear lights to complete the total stealth look too. Anyways, a gratuitous pic before I scuff the thing to pieces: Edit: Pic removed - having a cull of my uploads to retrieve space.

Meserias Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) what an amazing machine ... enjoy it an make sure you do range test and post results and review anti-spin/kill switch it's must for any wheel in opinion .... I still don't understand GW IMHO you should keep present pedals instead of Nikola... you can file 2mm of it to correct the angle if you want Edited December 4, 2019 by Meserias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 I wanted the Nikola pedals for the size, not because of the angle of the stock pedals. Still need to file the Nikola ones though. I will try to get them close to stock and see how I feel with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) Just to update this thread, whilst having a nose around the internals, I found that the extra 259Wh battery pack wasnt affixed in any way and was crammed in so tight in one corner to have actually split three of the silicon power leads (pics below). I made a bit more room for the pack by cutting out a small web of plastic, fitted double sided sticky foam tape to the back of the pack, insulated the wires and fitted more foam tape where the wires were near to the case. All sound now but this could have gone a bit wrong had I not seen it. Also, oddly the extra pack was made by Green Fashion although the original Gotway Kebye manual does have a sticker in it stating '1859Wh', suggesting that this was a factory supplied wheel. Surely Gotway make their owns packs?! Edit: Pic removed - having a cull of my uploads to retrieve space.

Planemo Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Been asked for a pic of the side of the wheel with the extra pack and I cant attach images via PM so put it here instead.
