Finn Bjerke Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I compare V11 with Veteran Sherman: I love both wheels but Veteran Sherman is not good for my back. It has other advatages: More range, More power. Both wheels have high fun factor. Range: V11 35 km or so Sherman 120 km or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My v11 has no issues with climbing or speed but i feel like the suspension is not dialed in right. What are your PSI #s if you don't mind? Here’s a guide on how to (fill and) measure that the V11 shock pressures are suitable for your weight: It’s all about the sag measurement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked that both batteries are working correctly and in use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked that both batteries are working correctly and in use? Yes... I was quite surprised too. I weigh, with all the protective gear on, 95kg and every 25km tour I do on the V11 spends about 25% to 27% of the battery. I recharge every two rides when the battery is down to 47% to 50%... Something has got to be wrong with one the batteries on the V11 of @Finn Bjerke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I purchased I was pushing @ 290 naked in January, so it can handle some weight. I'm @250 naked now, and I currently run tires @ 36psi, lower 170, upper 70. Feels pretty good. I have not changed it up in a few weeks now. Been toying with upping tire pressure a tad as I want to try some small jumps\drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About jumps, I think it is something to consider that the more you weigh the more force the wheel has to absorbe when you bounch/jump about. The V11 is not designed as a skateboard. Just something to consider befote yreathing it like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always ride naked and get more mileage out of our batteries... but I suspect well both end up in the slammer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my first wheel and I really like riding it, although it did take me a couple days to learn. I owned an electric skateboard and scooter before, and this by far is the most fun and versatile. The topic I'd like to discuss is what are non-suspension wheels like? I can imagine, but I'd like to hear from riders here that have experience on both. Do I "need" a non-suspension wheel too? Not that I have the money for another wheel, but I want to understand more of the dynamics. So far the V11 is the perfect wheel for me as far as I can tell. I mainly ride in empty parking lots and bike paths, ride alongs with bikes, etc. Cheers! You don't need another wheel, and shouldn't go any faster for at least 6-12 months. Jump off a curb on your V11. Now imagine what it would feel like if that curb had been twice as high - that's what non-suspenion is like. Or, if you really want to know, just drain all the air out of your shocks and go for a ride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
