With my V12-HT once the app detected the new update to address the possible imbalance between two battery packs, it displayed the message that maximum speed will be limited until update is applied.

Plus I found the Inmotion lettering on their wheels aesthetically pleasing, especially the new orange ones on V12-HT and V13, so while I'll be adding velcro to both of them for pads mounting, I'll explicitly aim to not cover any if the Inmotion logos.

I like to promote the manufacturer for any product I use. At least the wheel looks different from any other wheel so any onlookers who know about EUC’s will know it’s an InMotion wheel. I have new Grizzla pads but I'd rather take off the logos too, I want a clean non-flashy EUC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know when you’re expecting your wheel? Mine should be here next week. (Although I’ve been saying next week since the week before Christmas LOL). I’d like to see how you arrange the set up and would like to do the same, not covering the logo, but it seems like the grizzla pads need more contact area and we would lose 50% of the braking pad Velcro. Plus the pad itself would be over the lettering. Edited February 4, 2023 by Josiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pad placement and security is important, and certainly moreso than displaying a logo that 99% of people you encounter won't have heard of... indeed everyone who has heard of, and presumably respects InMotion will recognize it from the orange metal work alone !

Josiah Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Life is so tricky, there are trendsetters and clout chasers. I guess there’s a little luck and timing involved in placement. Maybe we all could give others a little break and let them do what they want to do. Edited February 4, 2023 by Josiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the pad itself would be over the lettering. Well, way back I've mentioned that I expect mine sometimes between mid January and mid February, and with the latter approaching fast, I hope my estimate was not too much off. I don't have grizzla pads, for now I'll be using stock pads on V13 and installing also Inmotion pads on V12-HT (I have those for months but failed to put them on yet). I was actually even considering some hybrid from bot sets for V13, as stock pads seems a bit thin / shallow, especially the bottom bits intended to lock your feet, so I might try to replace those with V12 pads. After some testing, I will decide if to print my own larger pads. And on V12-HT it's simple, just cut around the logo in the middle. Either way, I'll be sharing my results here once the V13 shows up. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2disbetter Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I am waiting on those exact pads to be delivered for my V13. I just got the classics for the V12, and they really opened the wheel up for me. I can ride the thing really slow now, and can turn on a dime. Love them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having different tire (or even simply tire presure) would affect the angle too. Are you sure it isn’t? Someone said it is. The V11 is calibrated when leaning on its integrated stand. And yes, a tire change does affect the position. But my V11 works well and stable after calibrating with a knobby C-186, so I wouldn’t worry.

I have these both these pads too and they are pretty great. The price for the Flow's was pretty high IMO but I have no regrets about buying them.

I was just extrapolation from V12-HT calibration procedure, where the wheel need to be upright as per the instructions in the app. I'll see soon (hopefully in week or so) if that's the case for V13 as well.

Thoughts on the potential move? It wouldn't be a bad move IMO. I became a big fan of the V13 after having ridden it. I would wait and see what the EX30 has to offer before making your decision. From what Bradley has said the EX30 looks promising in terms of build quality which I am excited to see the teardown of. We all know it will give you that great Begode performance they're known for and if they can nail the build of the EX30 then it could be a real winner in my books.

GHOSTTE Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) IMO the EX30 is uggo, really don't like the look of it especially the seat so it's off the table for me Edit: It's mostly uggo to me because of the blue padding monstrosity. If there are fairings put on it I'm sure it would be a lot more prettier Edited February 4, 2023 by GHOSTTE 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts on the potential move? From what I've gathered listening/watching reading about the v13 is that it's a tank in more ways than one. However if you don't mind throwing a big wheels weight around it seems to check many boxes that Begode people are looking for. It has performance and top speed,it has what i think to be an underrated suspension that is more adjustable than most and includes "hydraulic" dampening., it is slim and stylish and has a great fit and finish. The headlight is super powerful and the wheel settings are super customizable. To top it all off the wheel looks to be well engineered with safety being the number one factor in mind. The one downside is that the wheel has what some would consider poor range. If you want 80-100 miles out of a wheel then it's probably not for you. The orange frame isn't the most attractive color around but you can't have everything. In the end i feel like inmotion will add a fancier mode for the thrill seekers and it will be the fastest EUC to date. Someone who actually owns the wheel might have a different opinion but i should have mine within 2 weeks. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, theoretically it have unlimited range ... if you don't mind to push / trolley it the rest of the way. 😏 Edited February 4, 2023 by HEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the tail light is finally usable, though I'll be still using additional tail / brake light for extra safety (GACIRON W10-BS).

This 100%. The rear light is there there but I feel InMotion could've made an improvement to it. At least you can mount all sorts of aftermarket lights on the back should you choose.

Stevebee Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 My1st wheel is a v11 and the lights are fantastic on that. Be great if they are as good/better on the V13. Tempted but as I ve only done c200km on the V11 need to get more miles under my belt before I upgrade but it will DEFINITELY be a V13 not some Begode when I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
