Asphalt Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Has anyone heard of this variant? Is it a new official Gotway or an unofficial mod? Either way, the specs look good! https://eucservice.com/en/gotway-msuper-x/72-gotway-msuper-pro-1800wh-100v-21700-new-cells.html New Msuper Pro Specifications: 1-19inch skid resistance Tire 2-Double T6 head light , Intelligent brightness 3-5w strong heat sink fan 4-35w BT music 5-2500w motor 6-100v 1800wh 21700battery 7-Lift up switch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asphalt Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Must start training horse stance - it looks even wider. Don’t care too much for the double ingress points for the speakers, but the dual headlights are a nice addition. I just hope they are smart enough to allow switching between dual and single modes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BecauseFun Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 TwentyFIVE hundred watt motor? If true then this could be the world's first 50 mile-an-hour wheel. You'd probably need a decent tail wind and be going downhill, but somebody with full gear and a good life insurance policy might be crazy enough to try it. I remember seeing the Black Friday post for these guys. Tempting prices, but it took something like 6 weeks to ship and payment was cash on delivery. I wonder if anyone actually placed an order, were they happy with what they got and did the COD process go smoothly? Bluetooth music+cutoff switch are overdue but not unappreciated, it would be interesting to see how headlight compared to the 16x (arguably the best), my big question would be what kind of 21700 cells are these? Well that and obviously how well does it ride, especially are there any configuration issues like unwanted oscillation? 2500 watts though...I don't care if I would ever see the top speed at 25% more power to get me to, and even if the lack of gotway's firmware development. infrastructure arguably locks their wheels into forever being less lively to ride than any King song, it would be hard to imagine a 2500 watt wheel not being a blast to ride. OK, enough talk. I just placed the order and with any luck I'll see for myself what this wheel is like at the end of next month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I’m preaching to deaf ears here, because what I’m saying is boring but a bigger number is cool: 1) EUC motor wattage rating is for sustained power before the motor overheats. If you haven’t overheated a 2000W motor or overleaned at lower speeds, you have never been to the limit and hence you won’t notice a difference due to the motor wattage. 2) The maximum peak wattage of a ”2500W” motor can be 3500W or it can be 9000W. An upgrade from a 2000W to a 2500W motor can be anything between 0-100% marketing. 3) Since the details and definitions of the motor wattage measurement process are unknown, they can just change the definitions and call the same old 2000W motor a 2500W motor. This happens quite a bit, especially between manufacturers. Will it accelerate faster? No. Fill it feel snappier? No. Will it go faster? Only if the control board is upgraded to make it go faster. Look at the KingSong’s new 2200W motor. Wow, more power! No. Faceplants all over due to lack of power above 30mph. Even the 18XL turned weak at top speeds before they were able to tune in the firmware. And how does Gotway tune in the firmware...? It doesn’t. At all. Ever. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asphalt Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Also note that speakers are only on the right side of the wheel. I guess they have batteries on the left side.

Hope you’re right-handed! That's exactly what I was going to do with my MSX, only use two switches A: to make it look symmetrical (I'm like that) and B: so you could use either hand to carry. I was going to put them a little lower though - where your thumb naturally rests when carrying. I even bought the switches, which look the same as in the photo, but still haven't got round to fitting them because quite honestly I rarely need a lift switch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did that to the mten3, too. What a dumb solution. And looks cheap. 2 hours ago, Asphalt said: Also note that speakers are only on the right side of the wheel. I guess they have batteries on the left side. The batteries are behind the extrusions on the top half. The lower parts of each side have the board (right side) and nothing (left side) respectively. Looks like they added the speakers to the board side (easier cabling) and the other side is still empty. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely hear your frustrations about the euc state of things. I think everybody who rides a wheel wishes things were better. While I agree with much of what you said, I also placed an order because hey, it's the MSX2! The MSX 84v is an awesome wheel, the 100 volt even better, and to me Gotway is on enough of a roll that I believe the 2500 watt pro version will be that much better still. Is getting one essentially sight unseen a huge leap of faith? Absolutely. By the way, here is the official Facebook post I saw in my New York City riders group feed from user Fei Che Biao : Big News: The long-awaited upgrade to the hugely popular GotWay MSuper X; We at Gotway are just as excited as you! With its excellent performance and reliability, the MSuper has won everyone's love and respect. It is now time to take the hugely popular MSuper to the next level! We give you the MSuper Pro! This time, Msuper Pro has a major upgrade! 1-19 inch skid resistance Tire 2- Double T6 head light , Intelligent brightness 3-Super heat sink fan 4- 35w BT music 5- 2500w motor 6-100v 1800wh 21700 battery 7- Lift up switch Official sale date: March 1, 2020 !!! I contacted Gotway directly about a month ago and Donald Gotway referred me directly to Fei Che Biao for further questions so this is definitely legit. Predictions: Top speed of 47mph on flat ground, 40-42mph cruising speed without beeps, battery life at these speeds: about 20 minutes. Okay granted battery life in the 40s will hopefully be a bit better than that, but I doubt I'll ever get a chance to know as I'll appreciate having the increased safety headroom when I'm cruising in between 25 and 35. Anything faster than 35 I'm going to feel like a test pilot on this wheel. Bottom line is no one knows what this wheel is capable of, but I know I will definitely be surprised if it wasn't a noticeable step up, and I'm excited to see what it can do!

I have it in mind to call mine an MSXp, because it's kind of like an MSX sticking it's tongue out at every other wheel in its dust. Edit: I will probably get lazy and drop the X soon enough and it will just be an MSP, but MSX2 also sounds right to me somehow.

If it's about whether or not ewheels will carry this, it's hard to imagine that they won't. But he is usually pretty busy and the launch date isn't until March 1st which is 48 days away. And that could be the day they ship them from China if that date holds, so ewheels may not even see them until sometime in April. However you are right to be thinking about Jason because especially with a first-run wheel like this there are bound to be issues, issues best handled by a more local supplier.

But since they announce such enormously high speeds, it is reasonable to expect that the control board has been beefed up accordingly. And of course, riding at 45mph vs 35-40mph will of course feel different. I have zero doubt that this wouldn’t be a more powerful wheel than the current 100V MSX. Just that it’s not the wattage rating of the motor that makes the difference, or even gets you to those speeds. 43 minutes ago, Shad0z said: You will feel it. Not sure where the logic is coming from. Can you explain exactly what it is that you feel being different on a motor that is stamped 2500W instead of 2000W? Larger current peaks? Higher voltage? Higher PWM duty cycle? More instantaneous transient power delivery? The problem is, until the 2200W 18XL, we have had zero chance to compare only motors of different power rating. If you compare a MSV3 to a MSX, it’s a different wheel in so many other regards that you can’t isolate what the more powerful motor feels like. Think about a more familiar source of wattage, a stereo system. Or even laptop speakers. How would you know if I secretly upgraded the amp section to one that’s twice as powerful? Would you hear it? How would you test the difference? If you compare a 100W stereo system to a 10W boombox, you will mostly hear different speakers, not the wattage. (Edit: Actually, my analogue is wrong. Motor is just the speaker in a stereo system, not the amp. The controller is the amp that provides the power. If there is no further power available from the controller/amp, the wattage rating of the motor/speakers doesn’t matter one bit, be it 100W or a trillion watts. It still doesn’t get any louder.) Quote Every upgrade in motor power has been able to be felt. Why shouldn't this be too? I tried to answer this to the best of my skills in my previous post and above the quote. I hope it will seed some root and keep you guys out of the stupid marketing BS of ”wattage”. What do you think about how the 2200W motor upgrade on the 18XL was ”felt”? I hear it felt really strong. And I mean the impact when the riders hit the ground because the wheel no longer had the same power near top speed than the 2000W motor had. 22 minutes ago, AtlasP said: Jason confirmed this was a flat-out marketing lie in regards to the Monster; the latest Monster has the same 2000W motor as previous ones. No idea about this new MSuper Pro, but the Monster is NOT a 2500W motor. Yeah, there we go. They had to make it seem upgraded somehow. And wattage is the easiest, since no-one will hold you accountable, as only a handful of customers even understand what the number represents.
