Popular Post Jpd Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) So today I completed my first ever range test (100% til tilt back) My ride today was all on paved flat pathways, a lot of slowing down and speeding up to pass others. I would consider this to be very normal city riding/commuting. The v11 wants to go fast, I had to set warnings to stay under 30mph. I was able to ride at 20mph all the way until it told me to get off and tilted back to an unrideable position, this happened at 9% battery.

mrelwood Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Great info! For reference, have you completed a similar range test in any other wheel? As reported by Inmotion, the “go home” mode is not yet available in the app, but once it is, it will allow to ride down to 63V. I would assume that the battery voltage was about 68V when the V11 tilted you off? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to use DarknessBot but it still isn’t supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 49.7 mile that's pretty impressive and when the go home mode is activated that maybe another 5-10 miles maybe ,,, @Duf isn't getting these figures with his though but then again he stops at 20-30% battery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to know the voltage values before go home mode is implemented , @Jpd get them for us😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these range tests will expire very soon when the firmware and/or app gets the promised update. I find it strange that it stops at 10%. If this firmware shows 0% at 68V then it stops you even before that. If 0% is 63V, it should show more % at 68V. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at 68v and 10% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at 68v and 10% Well that's good,so if you did 49 miles and still 10% left, and the battery let's you go down to 63v in go home mode with the new app this ends up a good range wheel 👍 thanks for the info Edited July 26, 2020 by stephen 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eucinsea Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Marty might have bricked his v11 with this update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess, the pre-production demo unit firmware was not compatible with the update made for production versions. Inmotion are looking into it, and I’m sure we’ll know details soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything works like it should on mine, hopefully INMOTION can get it figured out soon.

Then again 90% of the wheels he owns don't even have firmware updates, so maybe he was just too excited to get to press such a button.. ;-) Edited July 27, 2020 by AtlasP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, I recommend tracking it with a GPS as app mileage numbers aren't known for being super accurate. What is your riding weight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t track with a gps,but I did compare numbers with the 16x my son was riding. it was almost identical distance, within 2 tenths of a mile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeRide Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Looks like my estimate of 50mi, was pretty darn close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3X Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I hope someone who's crazy enough can do a range test at or near top speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
