I probably have to put the initial miles on it first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably have to put the initial miles on it first... weird.. ive never seen this set failed.. maybe were just using a different app... i thought 1.05 on was 10 km.. but perhaps it reverted to 50 km im not too sure... you could try at 50 km or try another app like euc world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I think the current firmwares allow 40km/h to be set immediately (after agreeing to the disclaimers etc), but above 40km/h requires 200km of riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was in the beginning, now just 10 km if I remember correctly. After 10km you can unlock to 50km/h also with firmware 1.0.7 Edited April 13, 2020 by buell47 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampDylan Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I'm good! After hitting 22km I am now unlocked, at least for now, to 50km, thank goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkererboi Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) As a featherweight rider mine was incredibly unstable above 38km/h before tuning it in unless I used very low PSI. Tyre tends to be off-centre right out of the box because the factory likes the schrader valve flush to the wheel for some reason. This forces the tyre bead to bulge out unevenly. Deflate the tyres fully twist the stem outwards to give the tyre bead more space and it's all fixed. Let your wheel spin out in the air to check. There should be almost zero side-to-side wobbling of the tyre. Now easily pushing the 50km/h tiltback at any PSI. Softer tyres will help as well.

I found that if i put my right palm out like a sail off my hip it counteracts the bad effect and I go straighter, lol. 27 minutes ago, Tinkererboi said: fully twist the stem outwards Yes, my stem is bent inwards. Do you mean the stem should stick straight out like on a regular tire? This won't hit something on the inside, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my English gets in the way here or I dont know some technical terms, how does fully twisting the stem outwards work? Could you tell me what is this 'stem'? Thank you!

Never had and clearance issues personally even though I let the stem stick out pretty much 45° 24 minutes ago, DannyK said: Maybe my English gets in the way here or I dont know some technical terms, how does fully twisting the stem outwards work? Could you tell me what is this 'stem'? Stem = the little copper tube sticking out of the wheel that you use to fill your tyres with air. When it's forced flush against the wheel it causes the rubber base where it connects to your inner tube to push against the aluminum rim displacing your actual tyre out of its proper position.

I think I might have a rough idea of what it should look like but if it is possible to see a picture example itd be so much more helpful how I should twist it outwards Thanks alot!

This was a great tip! As you can see in its natural state, the little copper tube is supposed to be tilted 90° to the wheel. I do not really have any pictures but just deflate all the way and then it should be possible to twist it back to it's correct position or just go as far as you can before it begins to hit the case. That worked for me when i did it 6 months ago. Glad to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least 3 types of bent valves: Bent 90° to the side, bent 45° side, and bent 0° to the side. 16" EUCs usually come with a stem that's bent 0° to the side, or at least close to that. I'm not sure if you can reliably determine which type it is until you start removing the tube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skecys Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 My 2 cents; Coming from a V10, Initially the 16X felt unstable; had huge wobbles at speed and under heavy breaking. After about 200km, I can safely ride it at 47km/h (beeps, tiltback @ 49) without any wobble. Same on breaking, so I would say you just need to get used to the wheel and adjust your stance. Side-note, mine also had a wonky tire on arrival. Dealer took care of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I do know where it comes from. Its a bit small adjustments in stance, remember them, and your fine. Everyone (humans) aint build the same way so the difference is right there, IMHO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
