I only had a really brief ride under the old firmware. in that short video above the 60 plus was going uphill on slight incline. No pedal dip, did get beeps at one point. I’m also pretty hefty 95kg. i’ll check the insta footage tomorrow. good solid wheel though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnei Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 More delays, I just found out from my reseller (EUCShop.lt) that the S22 shipment that was supposed to go out in April was cancelled for something (unknown) that needed fixing, shipment now planned for end of May instead. 😓 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really off topic now, but I'm imagining how much fun an Mten with a P42A pack could be at the skatepark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully July 2022 , but that little detail falls into the category of: "if you can't stand the answer, don't ask the question". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was up to high 50s/60s (km/h) on a slight incline and little bit of beep. Had non stock pads, felt better. lower pedals, felt ok Pirelli Diablo Rossi tire, felt great! Small stairs and just a quick ride but it felt really solid. Especially at speed and braking. i’ll edit it together and hopefully it looks ok. It's a Pirelli angel 80/80, and the slides had been completely degreased so there was much less stiction in the slide. Glad to hear it still feels solid though. Had some complaints that it was 'too squishy' from the non-suspension riders who wanted something comparable to their existing wheel. 18 hours ago, MrP-MrF said: And torque ? Better ? More reactive ? Compared to our other model with the stock Jiluer tyre this gets up to speed noticeably quicker but that will be due to the lower profile and better grip of the tyre. More testing to do this week to see the actual difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supercurio Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) @wstuart oh haha from the price point, I understand why using it for miniature items (although, what kind of quantity would be needed for the S20 sliders in your opinion?)

Not only that, it has to be cleaned and relube often for the offroad folks. Those sliders can trap dirt and grit. Impossible to justify I would say.

What he is talking about is magnets skipping, I don't think anyone reported magnets skipping on S22 while breaking, people who said it was hard to break most likely did not have the right geometry configuration: pedals too high (you can change that) and foot position too much forward.

There are four separate issues at play here. 1) The braking issues that U-stride was having before the fireworks, 2) braking issues of those who say it is slow to stop, 3) those who try to brake too fast and underlean, ending up on their butt, and 4) magnets actually skipping in a way that U-stride describes in the video. 1) U-stride said that the pedals felt soft from the start, despite being in the hard mode. That already suggests that there was probably a failed capacitor or other failure present. To U-stride that behavior is now of course stamped on the S20, which probably made him do the video above. 2) Being slow to stop, which people often wrongly refer to as having insufficient “braking power” (or “breaking power” to be exact… ) is indeed a matter of geometry, and/or a riding mode that’s too hard for the intended purpose. 3) When underleaning a wheel the rider’s lean would require more power to compensate for than the controller+battery+motor can provide at that time. 4) For the magnets to actually skip, the controller+battery combo (or the motor itself) must be weak enough not to be able to pull the magnets strongly enough to overcome a violent braking event. Overlaps quite a bit with just a regular underlean (see part 3), and might in practice be the exact same event. PS. For the riders to “break” with their wheel seems indeed more common than to “brake”. But no matter how many people start riding through reds, the meaning of the red light won’t and shouldn’t change… 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since no two obects can occupy the same space at the same time, the numbers can't get too high because the law of probability will catch up, especially in high traffic density cities.
