This is just confirmation that "yep, it's all playing out like expected, and this is life now until the battery shortage ends (hopefully sometime over the next few months)". I just hope the shortage doesnt lead to a downgrade in quality of batteries.. Or manufacturers using sub quality battery suppliers. That would be a crappy scenario. I rather wait a bit or possibly pay a bit more to know i am getting what is expected.. Not sure how much of a price hike there will be. A few hundred is a decent bump up.

omshree Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I could get a production model on hand, but the split riding mode is greyed out in the app, does anybody here have V12, and could check with the 7.9.0.G Android app version? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in improving solutions if shortcomings popped up. Maybe not as fast as people hoped but to me they are one of the better brands in this regard. We all wish it wouldn't be like this. Yet at least they move in the right direction. It happened several times with V11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeWoo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) V12 in Poland. First impression. https://youtu.be/YbGxCLxGGk0 Really hope that it will be a successor of 16X with similar hill-climing ability. If it is only a matter of software / firmware optimisation, then even 1st batch could be good to buy. Edited July 21, 2021 by PeWoo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg Artene Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Until what battery percentage (how long) does V12 allow you to ride stable 32mph/50kmh? 50%, 30%, 10%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the direction they went with the V11 not throttling until 30%, I expect you should be able to sustain 32 mph to at least 30%, perhaps a bit lower since 32 mph is below the wheel's top speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think wrongway has a chart in his review of the preproduction version. I am sure that could change in the production version but It's probably pretty close.

This will depend a little on the tire choice and standing vs sitting but FYI sustaining 50kmh on a 16" wheel is generally pretty hard unless the road condition is perfect. You should also look at a bigger wheel if wanting to sustain that kind of speed safely (especially if you're going to be riding with car traffic). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I am looking for a "car traffic" wheel. Just sold my wheel yesterday (now I use a temporary small one) and was planning to wait for V12 to appear in stores. Because of 16' sometimes I start thinking to get something bigger/stable but the V12 quality attracts me back. I will try to find something else, and will discuss/ask about that in another topic. Update: I can't find anything else. I don't want Gotway because of bad trolley handle, weak shell, risky battery, hollow motor bearing problems/cost, no kickstand. So at the moment only V12 feets my needs for a daily city commuter that is comfortable taking indoors (shops, restaurants).

onizukagto Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 If you didn't manage to get one of the first batch of V12... I guess this is also an option? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to data sent from the wheel to the app, at 48 % of battery level wheel will throttle speed to ~63 km/h. Wheel is set to "fancier" mode, so speed limit is fixed at 70 km/h. After turning "fancier" mode off, at 48 % wheel reports speed limit at 60 km/h which is a max for this wheel in "normal" mode. Of course I assume that during a ride speed throttling will me more aggressive; I'm going to discharge this wheel today and check how it throttles the speed as the battery gets more and more empty. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, they are working out all the issues reported by the testers, but this also means it will take a while before we see any wheels reaching us. A small first batch of v12s have been shipped already. I think it was a total of 150 units. According to Ewheels, they are supposed to receive their first units hopefully soon. Shipping from China is still messy. On their site they state pretty clearly they are expecting a large production run to come in sept.. with how things are today prob expect Oct or Nov, if you weren't one of the early adopters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12 Fanboy Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I will be on the first batch according to alienrides and those will come in August. Now I just don't know whether I should wait for custom honeycomb pedals for the V12 or if the V11 ones will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omuretsu Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The initial batch of 30 for eWheels was in the US and going through customs the last time I asked for an update. Quote Great news! The first batch of V12's has arrived and is clearing customs as we speak. We expect to get these shipped out in the next week assuming everything goes smooth with customs. We will be reaching out to you soon with a link to pay the remaining balance. That was 6 days ago (7/22), so customs seems to be taking a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted July 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Moderator notice: The Inmotion V12 is released now, with the first ones in regular buyers' hands. To improve readability of the forum and to allow people to find reliable first hand information about the V12 (instead of speculation and pre-release information) from now on, this pre-release V12 topic has been closed. The V12 discussion can be continued in the new topic (which just has been split off from this one at at opportune point), or you can make your own V12 topic(s) as you desire Edited July 29, 2021 by meepmeepmayer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
