Any reason to buy the regular MSX on Ewheels?

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but it seems like ewheels offers a "2000W motor" version of the MSP. I think they also changed it to "MSX Pro" as the product? So basically it's a 100V MSX with all of the niceties of the MSP (speakers, waterproofing, headlights) without compromising speed right?

Interesting! I wonder if this is a model sold by GW or as an ewheels exclusive. Last I heard GW disapproved of using the MSX motor with an MSP, but maybe this new high speed model has a different control board that fixes this. But from what I can tell, yes, the high speed model is essentially just a 100v MSX with all the benefits of the MSP (minus torque of course). But for confirmation I'd check with @Jason McNeil.

Sounds very much like the custom build that EUC Service were doing.... a(nother) collaboration between ewheels and EUC Service perhaps....just thinking out loud...

@davinche There are many reasons to buy MSX:

• MSX is in stock, while MSX Pro is on backorder. Thus, you'll have to wait a month or two.
• Some people don't care about bells and whistles like speakers.
• MSX is waterproof enough for any rain.
• Regular MSX is almost certainly gonna be cheaper.
• You may be like me and never even approach the speed limits of MSX. 100V or MSP would be a waste then.
