As a programmer I am not a fan of “brute force” solutions. The idea was to not have to put the pedals up or lift the wheel into place. I can roll the wheel into this without shutting it down or worrying about wheel runaway I will remake this one to 1/2 size. Which should still function but with a smaller footprint. I am sure the pedal heights amount the various wheels are not uniform. I have measured the Inmotion V8 and the king song KS 18L. Does anyone know the pedal height of their wheel when perpendicular?

Way to think outside the .........

Daley1 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 We need a better "roll-on design for the super heavy wheels "so we dont have to lift them on and off stands. Any ideas?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is possible the tire would have to not leave the ground any point. If the wheel simply dropped into place with the tire off the ground the EUC would spin up to speed and cut out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daley1 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Maybe an upslope to roll in and a downslope to resting-place.To get it out u power on and wheel upslope then downslope and out!.If anyone makes one this is my intellectual property!lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the wheel simply dropped into place with the tire off the ground the EUC would spin up to speed and cut out. True, and it would be difficult to make a fit so close the wheel is always held. It could be done with the wheel powered off and a little more effort though. Or the slope could be half springy. Else maybe a system where the EUC is inserted tilted then raised assisting a lift that locks it in place. Or maybe just manually, tilt the EUC, slap on the stand and tilt it back. Or something that raises from underneath but it gets more complex. edit: Tilt system, probably overseeing some proportions but maybe something to get out of it: Edited October 17, 2020 by null 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..... Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Because I like colors and like printing. Excessive? Maybe. Cute, totally! Can a 130lb man jump up and down on the mten while on stand... yup! Will it fit anything but an Mten? I have no idea! OBVIOUSLY I have a few I'd be willing to part with Edited February 7, 2021 by ShanesPlanet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Cowboy Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 A stand which allowed the wheel to roll at a steady 5km/h would look awesome both at home and in a shop window. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be incredibly difficult and perhaps dangerous. Hard to make a wheel lean at the exact amount to go so slowly and steadily. Have to be VERY mindful of the level of the floor under. Of course if you forget and let it roll at 5mph untili battery is dead, that poses another danger. I'd think a display stand would be self powered if that's the intent. Cool idea, but i cant figure how it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stand I have has a groove on both sides in the middle. Getting the V11 to sit in those grooves is a nightmare, it usually takes 5+ attempts. It requires you to center the wheel perfectly above the stand before lowering it. Often one side will get in the groove and the other side will not. Very frustrating. It's just not a good design for a wheel that weighs 60lb. Not recommended. edit: he reached out to me and offered some solutions, he gets an A+ for customer service. I think his stand would be okay if the V11 didn't weigh so much and wasn't so awkward to lift and try to center perfectly over the stand.

I think the guy who makes these stands could create one without a groove since they are just 3D printed, but the groove seems to be a safety feature to keep the pedal hangers in the correct position. Any recommendations for a better stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) I printed a stand for my sherman and had the issue of having to line it up to get it sit right. My mistake was allowing it to be so narrow it had to sit on the tubing. Looking back over it, i realized it would need be REALLY wide to hold onto the hangers. Inside the tubing is a nogo as its plastic. At over $25 worth of filament to print each and the sherm being so heavy, I gave up with the idea...for now. The stand is strong enough, but its just heavy to lift the euc anyhow. Just a tiny mten stand takes over 12hrs to print, the sherm was over 24hr, so its a pretty involved process. Im sure @RockyTop would be more than happy to discuss any issues or future revisions, just give him a chance.

The main issue is the weight of the V11, it's just it's really awkward to lift and position perfectly in the two middle groves. I think if the middle groves were larger it would help, or maybe if the groves were slanted on both sides: \___/ instead of |___| to help you position it easier. Lastly if all that doesn't work: then some way to help you visually know where the groves are when lifting and centering the 60lb wheel before you lower it.

A $30 stand can end up costing $89 in some places. Hi there, I saw your ad on Ebay and I'd like to buy your stand with the charger for KS 16x. I know I'm going to get charged with taxes but my biggest worry is the shipping timespan. With Covid things are hectic in Europe. is there any chance of mey paying a bit more (with paypal) hand having it shipped with a company (UPS or DHL) rather than USPS? They take care automatically of the customs fees and are usually quite fast in shipping from the US to Portugal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
