The only problem I see is increased EUC weight and decreased rigidity that may cause entire system to be less sensitive and responsible to rider input. Actually, one of largest advantages of EUCs is simplicity and lean design. Suspension adds to complexity, mass and EUC size. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, one of largest advantages of EUCs is simplicity and lean design. Suspension adds to complexity, mass and EUC size. Depending on how this is done, It might take away some of the spikes in current when hitting a pothole or obstacle. So, we will see when they present their wheel. I have more confidence in Inmotion pulling this off that most of the other brands. But it is rather pointless to debate this back and forth since we are so close to an announcement now. But on the bigger note on where to move forward for EUCs.... One thing is for sure I hope they have signed patents on it so GW just can’t copy the solution. I wouldn’t buy a new wheel for extra speed as this is pointless to me. Suspension on the other hand with me having a busted knee…now we are talking, that holds my interest no mater how hard people say it is to do. Even better this would bring something useful rather than talking 100v or battery physical size change. To me that is minor changes that matters not at all for me. But somehow GW managed to blind people with this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddolik Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 i feel like the suspension is the most interesting thing on the new wheel... faster, moer range, etc - its the same... but this small thing is one more thing that can actually make it very amazing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improved speed and range would bring Inmotion more in line with competitive wheels in the market, but it will still lack that “USP”. Thing that comes to mind for me when brand is mentioned: Gotway: Speed/Performance Kingsong: Reliability/Safety Ninebot: Build Quality and “Feels” Innovation could be the game-changer that will differentiate Inmotion. Fingers crossed! Edited March 10, 2020 by FullTilt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rehab1 Posted March 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Before I cast any judgement I look forward to seeing what the IM engineers have developed. I still love my V10F and was extremely pleased with customer service I received after the water infiltration issue. It may not be the fastest/long distance wheel ( I have others for that task) but I can count on it’s dependability just like the V5F and V8 predecessors. I wish Inmotion great success and hope they hit a grand slam with their new V12. Edited March 10, 2020 by Rehab1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AtlasP Posted March 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) 13 hours ago, Marty Backe said: Why all the hate? That was quite the diatribe based on my skepticism that the wheel would have a 1600wh battery. I said zero about anything else with this wheel. I didn't say that I hoped it would fail. I didn't say I wouldn't buy one. I didn't say Inmotion produced crappy wheels (they don't). I think you're making up a conversation in your head that never took place, from me. Go back and read what I wrote and then re-read your response here. Where's the proportionality or rationality in what you wrote relative to my benign skepticism ABOUT A 1600WH BATTERY???? No hate, I promise. :-) Just extreme weariness at how a vocal swath of the enthusiast community (which unfortunately includes several higher-profile youtubers) continue to downplay InMotion at every opportunity. I used to try to give the benefit of the doubt to these people--"they're just preoccupied by their own context and can't be bothered to consider the broader range of users/use cases"--but observing their reactions to the possibility of a new, higher-speed and higher-range InMotion wheel (between indifference/skepticism/denunciation, when you'd think they'd be saying "finally" and show some curiosity/interest) has been a bit revealing (and not in a good way, frankly). Here's to new, exciting developments in the industry. Here's hoping InMotion pushes themselves while keeping their quality bar. Here's hoping Ninebot returns from being MIA the past couple years. Here's hoping Iron Korea comes out of the gate swinging with the Iron-101. Here's hoping King Song gets over their latest few technical trip-ups and back to being the 'Samsung' of EUCs. And yes, here's hoping Gotway finally hires one competent electrical engineer and someone who knows anything at all about hardware QA. ;-) Bring it on. My body and wallet are ready. :-) Edited March 10, 2020 by AtlasP 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenofnine Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 ^ There is no way it's going to look like that, I would be shocked. Also how does that suspension do ANYTHING?! The pedal arms are still directly connected to the hub motor/wheel.....which would make those struts useless. The pedal brackets would have to be able to telescope or slide up and down also....seems like a maintenance nightmare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IM’s prototype appears to depict some type of channeled telescopic pedal hanger. Unfortunately with this set up the pedals would not able to be stowed due to the rigid structure required to mount the struts.

WaveCut Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 This concept design comes up from time to time in discussions and its awful cargo-cult motorcycle design. Unpractical, bulky as the piece of crap and even dangerous. Suspension in pedals is not a way to go as you'll polish your inner leg skin whats not sexy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniVehje Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Guys, calm down. That old image was just a marketing concept. Nothing to do with real technical solutions and the future wheel will not look like that. No reason to analyze it in detail.

EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Maybe it will be just a dampened housing for the seated riders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the WhatsApp group Liam said the suspension will be inside the wheel IIRC. Could mean inside the housing. But somehow it must be transferred to the pedals. It’s a big risk for them and so many things could go wrong. It could feel horrible or break down easily. Definitely one of the most interesting developments happening in this industry at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcatraz Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I wish the new wheels were all 100V or better even, 126V. Otherwise you'll be carrying so much copper in all the wires and coils it's insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
