pandvl Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 A couple of days ago, I was riding my Kingson 16S at about 20 mph and the EU platform started to get soft, and I started to fall forward. I leaned back to slow down and the self-righting basically failed. Shit went pretty much south from there. I have road this thing without issue for 9 months. Anyone else have this issue? This is my second EU and love this thing for commuting. It saves me a bunch of time on my commute but i don't know whether I can trust this thing. My knee is pretty much toast!

atdlzpae Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Classic overlean. The wheel only has so much power, it can't balance you if you push it too far. Don't ride it that fast. KS16S is theoretically supposed to do 35km/h, but that's if you're a skinny Chinese with a full battery. I'd be afraid to ride KS16S faster than 25km/h. If you want to ride fast consider an MSX, Nikola, KS16X or KS18XL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeRide Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Were you riding with any safety gear? Because no matter what, there is a good chance one day you meet the ground be it a mistake, cramp, cough, or no fault of your own, dogs, cats, kids, bikes, people, pot hole, oil, or wheel failure. No one can really say without a lot more information, what was behind your last event. Hope everything heals up good as new. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 What firmware are you running? What's your weight? Might this be related to the 2.0 release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
