Josiah Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) Quick video showing the issues I’ve got with the wheel. Jason asked for this the other day and I forgot to make and send it. Weird thing is, no error message. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/gfgDYvZcWRQ 51 minutes ago, Punxatawneyjoe said: Hopefully Jason has the motherboard in stock, mine had to come from Inmotion Yeah hope so.

I feel like I need two of these to really test it. Plus I don’t know what I’m doing. Might get a T4 or S22 next though rather than a second V13. As it is cost wise might be a long time before getting the wheel #2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 236 miles i have ridden it. I have ridden it about 2 miles off road, so i hope not and i didn't look like Chooch when i was off roading, i was a lot slower down the trails. No jumps, no stairs. I was still getting used to it, it's been only fixed for 2 weeks and the weather hasn't been great. The fastest i have had it has only been 50mph also. I wasn't sleeping on top of it but i wasn't abusing it either. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually cruse about 35 or so. I was just saying the day before that i didn't need to go faster than 45 , i didn't even realize i did until i got home and the wife looked at the max speed.when i was showing her the app. She wasn't happy... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) u know, i have to press and hold the power button to get it to turn on and off as well. longer than u would expect for a switch to work. like it has to think about it. and u guys are in snowy areas. obviously i want both of ur wheels fixed, but i'd love to know why these brand new wheels are failing? my first leg today. Bob is mean mugging me from our compound or i would have done 40 today. still might sneak another 20 in.

That’s how the normal function would be, a medium press For on/off. The short press toggles the headlight, medium press, on/off and long press(60 seconds) forced shutdown.

novazeus Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 even though i like the exercise and mental exercise of riding as well, my objective with wheels, for the v13, moving me from point a to point b safely on pavement at around 25 mph. i still need a pasture wheel and i think the s22 could be it, if i could get the suspension fixed. the s22 pro that wrongway unboxed is definitely not what i have. i think that pro version would work, but idk how long. i rode the s22 this morning and i guess if i don’t soak the sliders with lubricant i don’t get any travel in the suspension. i think it could be a great wheel, but not as king song built it.

I don't usually ride that fast but i was testing the "lack of torque" and practicing hard acceleration for when you need to get out of the way for a car. It was all done in the name of science i tell you. No, but i do want to know what i'm talking about when we speak about high speed tiltback, so i wanted to experience it and haven't really been able to over torque it because i'm still a noob, i chicken out i guess. 50 is like the speed of light to me because i came from the v-11 , but you can't speak to high speed riding if you have never done any so....

Punxatawneyjoe Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 15 minutes ago, novazeus said: what are u changing it to? I bought the pilot street 2 before i even got the wheel, i just figured I'd try the stock tire for a bit. I put it on my v-11 and liked the way it handled so i got one for the 13. I took it for a quick ride today and it handles awesome, I'm also running around 30 psi. It's super windy today so it was a fun but brief ride. I definitely like it better than the stock tire. I like that it's a lot quieter also. The reason i like 30 is because it's a tubeless tire meant for a few hundred pound motorcycle with a tube inside of it, so stock pressure seemed stiff to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that at those speeds such as 50 mph, if your feet or lower parts of your legs don't slide well enough, your upper body will be slammed into the ground that can crack helmets, or break collar bones and arms. And that is only in a single vehicle accident. If you crash into something solid like a car, then the impact at 50 mph will be equivalent to falling off a 8-story building. But if you crash in an open space, then it depends on how you fall, and how poorly your lower extremities slide. The linear momentum will be mostly converted to angular momentum if the lower parts of your body make contact with the ground and don't slide well.

I am fully geared up and wearing a real helmet not a TSG pass fake helmet. The same could be said for the 70-80mph i go on my street bike on the highway. There are inherent risks in everything that's fun, you just have to take precautions and hope for the best. I felt comfortable enough with the wheel to take it to that speed because it's smooth as glass there and i didn't even realize i had gone that fast. I may be fairly new at this but I'm learning quickly. My 50 mph run was an empty straight road, not though the streets of Boston or on a bike path. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, since you already ride motorcycles, then you know to mitigate your risks. For crashes that don't involve colliding with something solid, like on a racetrack, most motorcycle riders can still stand up after a 150+ mph crashes. That is because the riders mostly slide. For electric wheels crashes, I think it is the opposite. The riders don't usually slide that much. For myself, I am a lot less hesitant to twist the throttle on a motorcycle on a desolate highway than go fast on an electric wheel on a empty piece of tarmac before I have enough skills and experiences.

Your wheel has a very dirty control board and charge board area. If you're going to ride through bad weather and muck, highly recommend a mud guard: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5856406 Not saying it will solve your problems but this much dirt accumulation in this area can't be good long term. Don't trust the waterproofing of these connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, Dawn Champion took a 50+ mph tumble during a group ride, due to over leaning, recently. Her video below goes over the damages sustained by her new EX30 and gear. Apparently, she has plenty of experience when it comes to crashing motorcycles or wheels, and she has already taken precautionary measures. She is one tough cookie.

Jason asked for this the other day and I forgot to make and send it. Weird thing is, no error message. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/gfgDYvZcWRQ Based on your video I'm pretty sure the problem is related to the rear lift off motor cut off button. It seems like it's either stuck at pressed position or the the cable from it shorted out. Under normal conditions, if you press and hold that button and then press the power button, it will turn the DRL on / off. And indeed you're unable to "turn on" (or off) the wheel either when the cut off button is pressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on ya girl Absolute positive thinking. I think the whole bunch of them down in SoCal eat sleep electric wheels. Neverending supply of enthusiastic energy for electric wheels. As a group, I think they single handedly keep Begode alive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
