Unventor Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 @DannyK please do not continue down this line. As moderator I am saying that the frustration though other channels to those that can do something about it. For the record I asked you in PM to not continue on this route. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WI_Hedgehog Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I think it's great King Song is allowing installing different firmware versions, as I think it was @DannyK said this solves a lot of problems and concerns. Also great is King Song is releasing an updated app on official app stores, those who buy through unofficial channels IAlibaba) can unlock and use their wheels with the King Song app, as the EUC World app apparently has some limitations in that area. I was 100% behind buying from our main distributor in the USA instead of alternate channels, though I was a bit disappointed to find out they ended support for the 3-year-old 18S, when they're still selling the wheel (at full price). That gives some weight to alternate distribution channels, though I'm still apt to buy from a company known to support their [new?] sales. Anyway, hopefully @Jack King Song can report wheel owners are happy about the new software release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's raining, and will apparently keep doing so, for the next few days, so even when I upgrade, I'll only be able to test it in the hall, so don't expect any useful feedback for the next few days...

But...what shoulder protection? My shoulder protection is the serious exercies regime I've been subjecting myself to throughout the quarantine (and why not admit it, my more cautious riding style...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I’d chime in, since I haven’t seen any other feedback on it. I have a brand new 16x unit, it came with v1.08. Yesterday (first day with it) I put about 80km on it. Have had zero issues, sounds super quiet(rode beside 18xl) and feels super smooth. Did about 30km on dirt trails, the rest on asphalt. Few things to note: never exceeded 37kmh. I came from a 16c and have never ridden a 16x before yesterday. I weigh about 245pds. cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thorn69 Posted April 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2020 I have a GotWay MSX 100v and have put over 200miles on it. I received my kingsong 16x recently and have put 86 miles on it. I have the 1.08 firmware. It has been a dream to ride. It’s is incredibly smooth, stable and fast. Lots of torque. 30miles per hour is plenty fast for me. I have not had any speed throttling yet but have not gotten the battery below 50%. Am going for a ride today to see what happens below 50%. Will get back to you. I was blown away by the smoothness when comparing it to my 100v MSX. Is the MSX smoother? Not so sure anymore. I’ve done plenty of off road and on road riding on both. The main difference is I don’t have to make as exaggerated movements on the 16x. Off-road so far the 16x has been a beast and easier to recover from bumps and twists because of the better torque. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travsformation Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) This thread is now obsolete since FW 1.0.8 is nowhere to be found; the KS SoftTuner app goes straight from 1.0.7 to 2.02. I've started a new thread for FW 2.02: Edited April 28, 2020 by travsformation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimbus2000 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hey so I have a new 16x on 1.08 and an older one on 1.07 that I handed down to a friend. Here are things I've noticed: Cut off switch engage/power on beep is much quieter and therefore much less annoying Breaking and acceleration seem slightly better to me after riding on 1.07 for months Particularly breaking seems stronger Battery indicator lights are more accurate I hit tiltback only once jokingly racing a motorcycle at 30% battery I didn't have an app running but ide say I was throttled to 26-27 mph Ide say 1.08 is an improvement so far 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimbus2000 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 This feature is also presant in 1.08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimbus2000 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 On another note if you order a new 16x the pads on the top protrude more witch is slightly more comfortable although after market mods are still better in this regard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chulander Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) On 4/13/2020 at 9:17 AM, WI_Hedgehog said: Personally, I wouldn't want to side-load an application on my phone, especially one from China given the security concerns we've seen with Chinese phone software.(Note: The problem generally lies with the software author, not the software vendor, i.e. not King Song themselves but the company that writes their app for them.) I agree, use the EUC World app written by @Seba and wait for the official update [then wait 2 months before installing it so you know it's stable]. The EUC World app is very well written and highly functional, plus configurable to individual needs. If China really wanted to, they could just have KingSong's controller maliciously install software through bluetooth after connecting to the wheel so you better not "trust this device" Besides, modern OS requires an application to explicitly communicate what privileges it needs from the OS. So if an app you just downloaded is requesting for admin rights, just politely decline and uninstall While the cybersecurity threat is real, your fears are misguided and I think spreads unnecessary fear to other software illiterate EUC riders.

Pengloong Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I am just about to purchase a second hand Kingsong 16X and I have a question please. The model was assembled on 07.09.2019. It has done about 500 miles . Can somebody tell me if this is Version 1 or Version 2 please? Is there anything I should be particularly concerned with?. Many thanks.
