wheel-life Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Didn't see this posted yet...looks really good. Quote Just got this email from EWheels. Gotway is making a special edition of the MTen3 with a carbon fiber look, possibly blacked out center too, hard to tell from the photo. The 420wh is shipping out late September, the 512wh is expected to ship a bit later in October. Same price, $650/$1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellac Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) You had me until the tubed tire part. That sucks. Looking at the ewheels Q&A section further down the page they claim the sealant for the tubeless tire was causing some corrosion in the motor. I’d never heard of that and it sounds concerning. Anyone have that experience? From the page: What were the reasons Gotway decided to change from a tubeless to tubed tires? The tubeless tire required a special valve extension to add air to the tire, which some Owners struggled with. Additionally, it was found that the required sealant to keep a seal between rim & tire was causing corrosion on the motor over time. One other benefit of tube tires is that they can be used in a larger pressure range. Edited September 14, 2020 by shellac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, no experience with either one but the idea of dealing with tubes doesn't thrill me, especially after watching marty's video when he did it on the mten3.
