Kekafuch Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 A seat might be available from factory. Hopefully there’s a follow up video sooner than later w some riding impressions of that torque motor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Guy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I don’t think it was a seat, I guess it was the rear light with the mud guard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUC controller. Can someone explain why the motor sounds like it's driven by a squarewave controller when accelerating? Is that a way to push more phase current into the motor with the same components, even if it's at the expense of efficiency? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I wonder if that sound might become very annoying very quickly. Unless you just don't hear it in the wind noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 My first impression, Afeez liked to push it to the higher speed (compared to his more gentle first try of the Commander). Maybe I just “see things”. :-) But maybe it is because Abrams does have a lot of torque. The motor sounds different, maybe because of a different way it is winded?..

Mango Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 This is what a torque tuned 3500 watt motor sounds like. Deal with it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Curious to see whether the rather "undersold" Abrams and not the potentially "overhyped" S20 will be the next season sensation.

My RS has somewhere around 60km range at around 30 - 40kph speed with its 1,800Wh battery, I really can't see the 2,700Wh battery on the Abrams getting less than 60km range if you keep the wheel at speeds up to 40kph. Currently I'm trying not to go spending all my money on stuff I don't really need and I certainly don't need another PEV. Mind you, if I sold my e-scooter and maybe (but probably not) my RS . . . I'm interested in the 22" wheel (more stable), the 3500W motor with lots of torque, not being slower than the Sherman, the IP65 rating, 2700Wh battery. The high weight is a bit of a negative, but still . . . I'll wait for some review videos, but this wheel really does have me tempted. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I thought anything heavier would not be even be an option, I'm now revising my opinion here. The Abrams with a 22" tire could for for me. However if you need to lift your wheel in and out a car trunk, that'll be tough. Edited October 28, 2021 by supercurio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMA Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 i agree that lifting is the most important part but weight affect also performance/dinamic/inertia of a wheel, i know very well how an heavy wheel feels like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mango Posted October 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2021 We’re going to have to start regarding these hyper wheels as one-wheeled motorcycles and focus less on their portability and weight. If weight is a concern, there are plenty of sub 25kg EUCs on the market from which to choose. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If weight is a concern, there are plenty of sub 25kg EUCs on the market from which to choose. I understand that so far all EUCs are just one category. But I agree that very soon there will have to be different classes for these wheels. Just like there are classes for two-wheeled vehicles, mopeds, light motorcycles, motorcycles, e-bikes etc. These are not only for legal status but for performance and size as well. At the moment V5f/KS14/Mten3 are the same category as Monster and Abrams. They are clearly very different wheels for very different usage. I just hope there will be flagship high end wheels in the smaller categories also. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could all just get some protein powder and see it as building extra muscles. 😂 I'm used to carrying my Sherman up two flights of stairs a lot but seriously 44kg, that's really too much for a wheel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMA Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 it's not only the 44kg itself, it's also related to the other wheels on the market with similar performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingGrandpa Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 16 hours ago, That Guy said: The motor sounds different In my experience, motors are loudest when they're operating near their maximum output. I don't find the grunting noises reassuring at all- perhaps Afeez was already at the verge of overlean, during his lunges. Lacking dynos, we'll have to wait for more heavy-aggressive-rider feedback, to find out where the limits really are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 44kg is probably the inevitable price to pay for the combination of both performance and build quality. I am not saying Veteran actually made both happen in Abrams - will see the reviews and feedback soon. But if anyone wants to build a robust and high performing machine it may have to be heavy?… (And I do hope Abrams did it, so my only problem with it would be the weight.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
