I think its about 1-2 months ago when I read somewhere (YT comment of some KS-S20 video?) about possible future delay related to this without any better details. And because now there is confirmation its about BMS... My sources are only YT, this forum and sometimes Reddit when Google search is lucky. I tried to quickly find it again, but failed, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, I guess that unless there's a public progress tracker or statements on record, it'll always be hard to gauge the accuracy of information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't specifically say a problem with the BMS, but does state new tech was need for it from R&D 🤷 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem identified (good job testers!). Its 126V from the beginning, not just an actual change. 126V prototypes already out. Noone will delay production without big reason.

Popular Post mrelwood Posted January 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2022 On 1/7/2022 at 1:28 AM, UniMe said: I don't know exactly how the S20 is built, but really, should it not just be the crank and rear swing arm of a mountain bike? With the battery packed in the middle... These geometries and tech are long standing. I really don't get the 'reinvent the bike' strangeness. Well, an EUC is not a bike, and the long standing geometries don’t apply very much when half of the structural points of stability are removed. On 1/7/2022 at 1:28 AM, UniMe said: If not the rear swing arm (what I think is probably best for a real off road EUC) then it's the front shock set vertically. Inmotion kind of did exactly that. While the idea is sound, just a regular bike fork can’t be used because some parts are on the way. Relocating would still make the EUC too wide or otherwise too big. On 1/7/2022 at 1:28 AM, UniMe said: just swap in mountain or motorcycle forks... how hard can it be? Disassemble a few EUCs with different suspension designs and you have your answer. Actually, disassembling a non-suspension EUC works as well, just keep looking at things with the perspective of where and how to fit a bike fork. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolis Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Hey everybody. There are rumours about @Alien Rides postponing the S20 preorders to september 2022. Does anyone have any relevant news that can confirm/disconfirm this? We know that the production has been postponed to the end of february, but this is new.

supercurio Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Excited, and at the same time anxious about everything that might go wrong in another agonizing process. It would be nice if the S20 turns out released and reliable before the V12 and its next board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an S20 on pre-order, and I'm all in favor of letting the improved V12 beat it to market . While I have no doubt that KS is doing their best, I'd rather continue to wait than suddenly lose faith in my very expensive toy's ability to get me to and fro. Especially since the thing will weigh nearly as much as I do, and I like to ride where no dino-bone powered rescue wagon is allowed to enter. (why do I feel like I'm talking myself out of this thing—I really wish IM hadn't reminded me that in spite of best effort, stuff still happens. I much prefer fantasy island) Edited January 18, 2022 by Tawpie 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post supercurio Posted January 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2022 @RagingGrandpa and this tire should have a nicer noise than the typical knobby thanks to its more varied pattern! It looks like one we've seen in videos for the past few months, so hopefully they tested it and it's a good match instead of being selected last second for being cheap and available. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Guy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Wow, it's happening! Somehow, I started imagining that to finalise the product KingSong would disappear for a few months then come back with a big announcement like "sorry we are late, but look what we've got for you". Does it feel like they decided to go low key? I hope they have sorted the conversion to 126V for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollin-on-1 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Does anyone know which tire they are using? It isn't the K262, K272, or C6004 that were the early candidates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
