gon2fast Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 There is no way that Gotway is going to sit idle while InMotion and King Song release wheels with integrated suspension. I suspect that we will hear from them shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 Do you know anything? Or is this speculation? Pure speculation from me here: Not sure if Gotway have a suspension coming soon. I secretly believe Gotway is the best manufacturer as far as tech is concerned, if only because they experiment so much. So they'll look at KS's and IM's suspension solutions, copy steal the better one, and maybe that will be the best suspension of all (well the second iteration of course). Real issue is: You can't put a suspension on the old msuper So they cannot do their usual iterative process where they just add one new thing to their existing frankenwheel. They have to start more from scratch. I wonder how well that is going to work. Needs to be a serious step up above the Nikola (their last big new design) if you look at the level KS and IM are operating now with the V11 and S18. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the videos of how smoothly and controlledly the suspension wheels go down stairs, I think suspension is going to be a game changer for EUCs. Suspensionless wheels will feel like uncomfortable hard boards after one tries a suspension wheel. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gon2fast Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 I am wondering if the long rumored 20" model will be the Gotway wheel that incorporates suspension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gon2fast Posted April 9, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 Gotway could easily one up KS and IM if they can develop a large battery suspension model. Battery capacity seems to be the chief complaint on the suspension wheels so far... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I think 100V is their default now, so 1800Wh (4p) should be the new standard battery size 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there will be lots of great wheels and Im sure most of them will be just wonderful to own. The grass is always greener aint it? Even with an sks18 otw, i havent ruled out the possibility that SOON, a long range and really fast wheel will also hit my shopping cart. Luckily theres no legal limit on how many wheels you can have in the end.... Edited April 9, 2020 by ShanesPlanet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am starting to budget for a second wheel this year and things seem to be heating up. Originally my second choice was the MSP, but I am sure that my first choice will hold me over to Fall when all 2020 choices will be available and reviewed. I do have high expectations for what GW brings to the table with suspension. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WI_Hedgehog Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Was it @meepmeepmayer that said Gotway put new wheels on hold for a while? Maybe the suspension battle is heating up? (I hope so!) Been looking at the MSX and MSP reviews...they look kind of like clunky briefcases that go fast, and people like them...maybe I need to try one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do, I would think that they'd be focusing all resources to develop a suspension wheel. My guess is that bringing out a 20" MSX (without suspension) right now would not go very well at all. 51 minutes ago, WI_Hedgehog said: Been looking at the MSX and MSP reviews...they look kind of like clunky briefcases that go fast, and people like them... That's what they kind of are. People don't like them for the shape or riding geometry, but the powerful combination of GW acceleration behaviour and the optimal large tire size. You do owe it to yourself to try one out though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was from the EcoDrift interview. I find it hard to believe and wouldn't rely on that info. Maybe something was lost in two translations Chinese->Russian->English by a German guy (me). Also now we have @gon2fast saying there is a suspension wheel coming soon. I'd rather believe that. 3 hours ago, WI_Hedgehog said: Been looking at the MSX and MSP reviews...they look kind of like clunky briefcases that go fast, and people like them... Great summary of these wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stated that the whole suspension system widened his stance by 4” (2” each side). Not comfortable. You do have to admire the guy for chopping up his MSX in lieu of furthering EUC suspension science. There is another guy planning on adding suspension to his Z10.

It was a long conversation (and a bit painful as they constantly talk over eachother and jump to different topics in the middle of a comment), between guys in the business that know a little inside information. They revealed that a 20" Gotway should be announced at the end of May, and the guys were expecting it to have suspension as well! Very exciting times! I think they were correct in that the S18 could function as a basis for customisation, whereas the V11 is readily a solid package with less room, possibilities, or need for modifications.

gon2fast Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Sounding expensive if it is indeed a 20" model (hopefully with a big battery option), but super excited! Thanks Mrelwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles McLean Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Anyone have any updates on when Gotway is scheduled to release their newest EUC with suspension? The latest rumors I heard were mid-may ... but that has come and gone and no word. Before I pull the trigger on the V11, I'm waiting to see what Gotway has to offer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way something is coming out now (it's already June). But Gotway keeps things close, even with their dealers. Half the time Jason is surprised by what Gotway does (and he must be one of their biggest dealers). I hope they don't do any releases for awhile. There's too much going on right now with the S18, V11, and Veteran. I couldn't take having to get a 4th wheel this summer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chulander Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 i think suspensions would be great for seated riding. very skeptical on the standing part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
