mike_bike_kite Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I'm helping out with some software that works with these wheels. I need to identify the characteristics of the wheel from it's serial number. I've read this page which helps identify older wheels but I'm trying to do the same for more modern KS wheels. Does anyone have more up to date info, preferably including 18L, 18XL, 16X & the S18 ? If not then could anyone provide the first 7 characters from their serial number with details like (18XL, 1554Wh, 2200W motor, throttling at 20%). I assume the 18XL with the older 2000W motor would have a different code to the newer 18XL with the 2200W motor but I'm not sure. Also, how do they identify wheels for the Chinese market? I assume there's something in the serial number. Bonus question: anyone know how it works with Gotway or Veteran? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawpie Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) 16XS—from the SoftTuner iOS app. Battery is half the capacity of the not-s but motor is the same. Edited October 18, 2020 by Tawpie Point out half battery 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_bike_kite Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Many thanks. I think the 16X with the larger battery has a serial number starting with KS16X2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 for KS S18... "KS locks actively all wheels with a P in the serial number - these are the wheels intended for the chinese market and sold by aliexpress resellers. Like: KSS181D200810P006" from this : Attention: Aliexpress/Chinese KS wheel locks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
