Popular Post Lukasz Posted October 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2021 I hope KingSong finds somebody with good enough English to continue being "interface" between Chinese team and rest of the world - boss of KingSong shall have some obvious thoughts by now that such person and direct feedback from key customers helps in growing business and development / new constructions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 KingSong delivered great products before Jack and they will do after. I personally expect the same level of production quality and innovation (and stuff-ups) from KingSong without Jack. These things are typically depend on the culture/philosophy of an organisation rather than one talent. I suspect S20 was largely Jack's baby. But it may be a little bit too ambitious for any manufacturer at this stage. Who knows, maybe they could be better off if they just stuck with a more conservative approach to their next wheel design (as per the neighbouring thread started by Jason about the voltage)... But it is thrilling to think what "great" looks like looking at the renders of S20. So, thanks Jack! Let's see what you can do for the wider industry in coming years! ;-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Trebek Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hi folks. I'm new here. I've preordered the S20 as well. To be honest, I had it with the suspension issues and constant pumping of my S18. I'm really hoping the coil suspension is the answer to all my issues. The design of S20 is awesome looking. Jack did a great job. I just hope the weight and height won't be an issue in maneuverability. We'll see. Al. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 It appears the S20 has made it’s way to some distributors. Brace yourself, more S20 videos coming soon… 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tawpie Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The display is right sized for the wheel! My old eyes should be able to see that. Without readers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look easy to see. I wonder how it does in direct sunlight? DOes it ONLY show speed? Oddly enough, I never look at my speed on my sherman. More important for me has always been battery level. Does the ks20 screen have options to show the important information like temp/battery, or just the ego information like speed? I wonder if the speed is inflated, making it about as usefull as an ice cube in alaska, and just as honest as a politician..

I do expect that because the display is a bunch of giant dots rather than a proper "screen", you may not be able to show very many things at the same time. It'll probably cause much gnashing of teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably cause much gnashing of teeth. it would be nice if you could select what information or make it 'scroll' from one to the next. Tho I agree, theres more important things to worry about. It aint like I wouldnt toss a samsung on it with eucw and hide the screen in the end, anyhow. Im looking forwards to how these turn out after about 6 months... I guess it would be WAY too much to ask for, if one wanted to be able control settings from the wheel/screen as Veteran does.

That Guy Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I also hope they will make it show the battery when stopped similarly to how KS16x lights show battery level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the display looks well thought out. Looking down to see anything is not a good idea, at least the made it big and clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brahan Seer Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I wonder where they thought of that style of display? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 There are some marks of (heavy?) use - scratched handle and pedal surfaces. (Or they are just poorly painted on this tester.) But where are other videos, reports?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasP Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 If that's a 3inch tire, then in that video the rest of the wheel looks crazy-wide by comparison. Maybe the perspective is skewed by the lenses (the image does look a little warped/weird)? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding. But I guess a jockey can pilot a thoroughbred at 40 kph, and they're fairly wide. I thought they stuck a 2.125" tire on that it was so skinny.

I think it is generally the advantage of having someone who actually knows what he is doing design the cooling system. the good thing is that abrams hero and v12 looks like they copied it, so overheating may become a thing of the past. But to be fair, this idea was first found on ninebot s2/a1, it took us 3-4 years, but we got there. ps. the ninebot a2/s1 even has the thermometer inside the heatsink, it will take us 1-2 years more, but we will get there too.
