Altaire. Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 So after a year of letting it sit unused, I've pulled out the v5f again and got good enough on it that im starting to feel the limits on the endurance, speed and power of this wheel. I can ride till about 60 percent before it starts tilting back like crazy if i even hit 13 mph. What is a good wheel, somewhere in the ball park of a grand, that would be a good step up in speed/ power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phong Vu Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 At your weight, the best options are those 18" (or bigger) wheels. You cant really go wrong with any of these: Kingsong 18L/XL Gotway MSX/MSP/MSS Or if you want the shiny new wheels with suspensions (have to wait for few months): Kingsong S18 Inmotion V11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antec Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 How about a Tesla V2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no wheel around $1000 could give you much boost compare to v5f, you will out grown them in 1 week since you already hit the limit of v5f. Tesla is a great wheel ( it's also not $1000), if you buy it from the respectable seller. However, the tire might be a bit small and narrow for your weight. If it was me, I would consider the 18L, similar price, similar battery, tag bit slower, bigger wheel, more reliable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think im gonna run with an im v10, looks like it's a significant power and range boost and it's 1100 new. Looks like the best for what i need in that range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have it up on ebay but costs more as I'm paying shipping and letting ebay/paypal eat 10%. $1100+ ship on the forum atm. I may be askew, but I'm bluntly honest and aint out to screw anyone but my wife and she's used to it. No worries, THIS wheel hasnt been beaten like my others. *The voltage is more like 84.1v, it seems these wheels aren't exactly precise in reporting, but I've verified it and the charger with a fluke meter as Im also OCD.
