It’s because they do not accelerate and brake by leaning… If the Sherman could climb half as good as the V3 it’d be ok but it doesn’t I have a clip of the V3 climbing a super steep concrete slope in a drain my Sherman can’t do it also the brakes where better and I could launch if further off drops and hop it way higher, but thats cos the Sherman is much heavier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gon2fast Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) I wonder if the stand/connector is the modular component? Seems like the same connector is on the front as well. Edited August 17, 2021 by gon2fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Paul Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Looks like eWheels opened up preorders for the Abrams, expected to be in sooner than I would have guessed: late October/November https://www.ewheels.com/product/veteran-abrams-100-deposit/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 eWheels preorder page is reporting 50MPH top speed which is consistent with what I heard about the Abrams having more torque than the Sherman, but the same top speed. Interesting since additional torque (low end) in wheels usually equals lower top speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while smaller wheels get “free” “torque” from the smaller tire diameter, they also require more “torque” to compensate for the rider’s lean. Which of these two aspects wins or if they are identical, I don’t know. What I do know though is that riders do not tend to overlean 22+ inch wheels at lower speeds. Edit: I shouldn’t have used the word “torque“ above, as “thrust” is a more correct word. Thanks @Eucner!

They are way too often mixed here. If 19 and 22 inch wheels have same torque, will smaller wheel have more thrust. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting since additional torque (low end) in wheels usually equals lower top speed. I wouldn’t take anything at face value. The Sherman has proven time and time again it could hit 50 mph. I’d look at the board configuration, motor and battery config before estimating its real world top speed. also the speed-corrected no load speed should clue you in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ben Kim Posted August 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2021 I for one am not interested in any of these new big battery wheels, including the Abrams. I was one of the first to jump on the Sherman hype train being a very reasonably priced big battery wheel with a big no load speed, with the Abrams, they want MORE money for less battery. It’s a hard pass for me unless they surprise us all and drop a higher voltage wheel on us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg X Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Abrams looks very, very promissing, it may be best wheel of 2021. Reasonably priced 22" wheel with big battery = nice upgrade for Monster lovers. As a Monster v3 user I DON'T need super high power, 2500-2800w is absolutelly enough. It is cruiser wheel, not racer. Range is much more needed here, than sporty torque. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellac Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) jc 🤦🏻♂️… soaring or surging, either way terrible. the normie pedals on the Abrams really make it an outlier with the new crop of wheels. veteran getting complacent with their competitive edge IMO. hex pedals are the way to go.
