INMOTION V12 (pre-release)

[DjPanJan]

I'm very curious who first will do the first slope/incline test and how the V12 will perform compared to the competition.

Because as evX wrote (expressed) in this and did not measure any tests that could exactly compare other EUCs such as the acceleration test, the climb test, the overheating load test, how the internal protection of the control board works, etc. 

(Mr. evX i don't rate it as a mistake about having clearly given things from the manufacturer of what may and may not)

That will be it. I can bet that a lot of people will walk around with an iPhone, but I never even heard about Tile until today. And I'm in the IT geek social bubble. Plus, I like that if the thief has an iPhone, they will be notified that the wheel has a tracker inside. 

EDIT: I mean Tile specifically. I know about these BT trackers, but as they aren't widely used here, they are limited to "ok, the keys are somewhere in my flat... play a sound." Not really useful for a wheel or for my mum, who tends to lose keys on the street.  

I can understand that Tile might not be well known outside of the even smaller bubble I'm in. Not only am I in Silicon Valley, working in tech, but I know the CEO of Tile, as he used to be COO at my company. Having said that, I bought Tile trackers before he joined them.

In the telegram group apparently a russian distributor is taking pre orders at the 2300$ pricepoint. Thats really good if it holds true to american distribution!! At 2300$ its the obvious choice for anyone not in the sherman/exn/monster pro market of performance wheel

 OM Guuh.... adjustable pedal height!!!!! and you can lock the motor so if someone steals it they stuck  . Def gonna be putting the RS up for sale for this. Also seen as they have this at $2300, e-hweels price should within +- $100

[FullTilt]

What sticks out is the 160 km advertised range (~100 miles) compared with 75 miles on the V11, implying battery efficiency improvements. I think this is what will really give the user "maximum happiness" instead of RGB lights.

Of course, one must apply a discount in both cases for real world use case and western diet (where applicable), but fingers crossed that the ratio is accurate.

Naa. It'll be only 100miles for a lanky 65kg~ bloke like me. 

But seriously, larger Controller module, three BMS.... Sounds amazing. 

[Waulnut]

Def looking to sell my RS for the V12. Everything sounds very promising for safety. Hopefully first batches won't have issues with the higher voltage since it is Inmotions first 100V wheel.

[Ádám Szitás]

Just a small observation: that mudguard is going to be useless again in any serious wet riding (like on the v11), will have to wait for hulajmarket again probably

[Meserias]

InMotion V12 real pictures...

Some nice features! The pincode lock was a no brainer, finally someone did it! This wheel and the improved marketing looks very promising for Inmotion.

I would not bet any money on that. More like $2300 = 2500€ in EUC exchange rates We'll see.

I just converted $2300 to euro with current exchange rates.

FYI, for France, the v11 on the aliexpress store is at US $2,819.99 which should be €2337.14 (euros) (rates from 2021-04-23) and with "EUC exchange rates/aliexpress" it's 2400.94€… but anyway, we'll see for final price.

For me this wheel will be a no-go despite all the new feature that looks great, and whatever the price, just because it's more than 25kg and I have a few steps of stairs to get out.

Yea I know. Just wanted to point it out before people start hoping it would be under 2000€

I find it interesting how the trend seems to go towards app-less wheels. First the Sherman, now the V12 with a much nicer implementation. I'm sure Begode is going to (badly) put a barely-adequate monochrome configuration screen on their next models, and maybe even giving up on their app altogether then.

Not that apps are bad, and the app still does exist as it used to, but the wheel should stand on its own, so it is good if it does like the V12. Stuff shouldn't require a phone app  anyways, unless strictly necessary. Also I'm finding I'm using apps less and less. Just logging the rides because I always did that, but what else do you need for a normal ride?

[Mango]

Hmmmm... the features make the v12 a very compelling choice. Seems like Inmotion is targeting the RS and Nikola markets, and makes a great complement to the Sherman. Definitely want one, but I already have 4 eucs. 

[jimjam.nyc]

Lots of nice features here. I guess those videos should be coming pretty soon now. No real point in holding back too much longer now.

I have one question though. Didn't the s18 have adjustable pedal height? So this isn't the first. 

I guess s18 wasn't so adjustable. But I thought it Def has some adjusting.

My exact thoughts when I read that statement and yes the S18 does already have 20mm of pedal height adjustment, so definitely Not the "Worlds First" sorry Inmotion!

The King Song S18 ships with the pedals in the mid point setting, with the option to raise them by 10mm or lower them by 10mm, I have chosen to lift mine to the highest setting.

Since I can't hear beeps I use EUC world constantly to check speed, battery, how far I've been, etc.  I wear my phone on the inside of my forearm with easy access.  I hope wheels don't go completely appless as having a 2" screen 3' below me while riding is going to be impossible to see.

[Asphalt]

The V12 is looking very promising as a rain wheel / daily commuter.

Does anyone have information about the following?

1. How does the touchscreen perform in the rain? Even my smartphone messes up with water droplets on the screen.
2. How easily accessible are the manual light controls? Can they be toggled on/off without looking at the screen?
3. Is pedal deployment friction or magnetic?
4. How noisy is it? Can start-up/shutdown beeps and voices be turned off?

1) no one knows except those under NDA - it's still too early.

2) same as 1)

3) probably same as all Inmo wheels so far - friction

4) probably same as all Inmo wheels so far - fully customizable. But how loud it is... same as 1)

It does look great....But, I really don’t need 29kg to carry about, and I really don’t need 100 miles of range......Who does exactly...and why?

Well, 100 miles range in reality is like 20-30 miles at the upper end of the speed range. And if you are fine with riding at 20 mph and don’t want the range, a V10F will still serve you well.

I understood they don't want the videos to go out until many units have already been manufactured and they are able to supply the demand that would come as videos come out. 

And that makes sense... 

You don't want to promote something too much if you can't yet sell it. The "leaks" were already enough of a teaser to get everone interested, talking about it, waiting for it to come out.

So for the v11, i love the wheel, but its really only got 15-20 miles of fun range. After that you need to be more cautious and conservative riding it. And it really tops out at 30 miles of hard riding for me. If your doing 25 mph, thats barely over an hour of continuous riding. I just got an EXN so that i cam get 30-40 miles of fun riding before i need to be more cautious. I have not done a full range test yet bu i think i can get 60+ pretty easily out of that. Gives me more like 3 hours of continuous ride time. 

May sound like a lot to some people but it really isn't that much when your riding at 25 mph constantly.

If speed is your game buy a mc. If you think more speed makes it more fun. I dare you yo go to Montana ride the straight highway at the speed you think is fun and see how many miles that last you.

I tell you a secret it will not long, and the secrets to this is the brain adjust and you no longer perceive the speed. And that is where you fun stops. 

So the key is not the speed but the change in speed and direction. Go to a dense forest and narrow tail. Here you find speed will not matter. Ad you can't see around the corner. 

That said some use an euc to get from A to B. Here it is where people of tend to rush. That is when things go bad. Especially if you ride the top limit of the wheel. 

The question is though how fast do you think is safe to ride an euc in traffic.Before you answer go test how fast you can stop on demand then play with the idea how long you travel before you react. So if a dog or a kidd steps out behind a car. Try to avoid or stop is the choice. 

So back to where this started. V11 or v12 or end or sherman all or them are capable of going at speeds that can be unsafe if used wrong. Personally I don't think 50kmh+ for an euc is going go benefit anyone in the long run.
