FLHANDSTER Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 What's the "Why" and "Frequency" of UNANNOUNCED SUDDEN STOPS on the InMotion Wheels? It's rather scary to read an incident such as this one of many. Some have said that Kingsong wheels do not do this. Please inform, explain and educate this new, up and coming EUC rider. Thank you! 😳😕😎  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyz89 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Wheel is just an electric device. It can just fail and every rider should be aware of this. Wear protection gear appropriately to riding speed. Wrist guards and full face helmet are must haves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsong do exactly the same thing - but the newer and stronger KS Models need more "enthusiasm" to get "unannounced sudden stops". But there were still enough reports for the KS16X If you want more details, numbers, graphs:  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daley1 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The short answer is that if u have an older underpowered wheel and u ask it to go over a pothole or accelerate to hard with a decreased battery,the gyro will stop and throw u face down.Newer wheels can do it too but it is a lot harder to achieve .Read the thread for more info.Also buy safety gear!

Popular Post Meserias Posted February 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) dear initiator, please examine video posted in the original thread you're referring too IMHO he was going way to fast on cold day (-4 degree) with small battery (only 60% charged) in an rather small EUC machine with a rider quite heavy for V5F...perfect recipe for falling. What to do ? Be careful what you buy to have plenty available power in case you want to go faster.
