RamonatheCat Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I really love what I've seen of the v13 so far, the care in safety considerations, ability to make it suspension or non-suspenion, 4500 w motor...Does it feel strange to anyone else that we get a 3024wh battery for an 110lb wheel? Maybe I'm being nitpicky - I realize probably no euc will be perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the tradeoff for fairly "slim" wheel. The range should be still decent and can be extended even more by riding a bit slower / less aggressively if necessary.

On a group ride, I don't think it would be a problem unless everybody else has a 3600+Wh wheel. There are lots of Sherman's and EX.N's out there right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for that 14a fast charge option you would have to buy two 7 amp chargers each costing 450$ .so 900$ Extra to fast charge your wheel at 14 amps .yikes most people would just charge at 12 amps since it comes with a 5amp stock and buy one 7 amp..source is from the ewheels pre order page …What chager is packaged with the V13 & what is the max rate of charge? The V13 is supplied with a stock 5A/630W charger. There will be an optional 7A charger available for $450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may not mind paying for the factory chargers, and others may want to use cheaper alternatives instead, or use lower amperage fast charging. These are the options. It is up to the individual to find the best option. Edited August 17, 2022 by techyiam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And EXN has 2700 wh so should have even more range than that. I'm not going to get the Master Pro and deal with Begode batteries so v13 is the one I'll take. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On most recent group rides we are now blowing circuits right and left as everyone wants to charge at 8+ amps. 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went to eWheels to look up fast charging for the EX.N with Li-Tech. And it said up to 8 A. Sounds like some of those riders need to upgrade. 🙂 Are you seeing many Sherman Maxes?

When 2-3 people all plug into the same wall outlet at a destination it's easy to trip a 15a breaker. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is keeping tabs of loading per outlet or hoping for the best, and everyone wants maximum recharge. Thanks. This brings to light a new issue than. If everyone is using 14A charging, that is going to be a quagmire. Edited August 19, 2022 by techyiam 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fuerte Posted August 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2022 I put in a preorder for MasterPro, but after chatting with Jason I changed it to the V13. Jason really seems to think this will be a great wheel, and I am pretty excited. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mango Posted August 17, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2022 Good move! Master Pro is just bigger and badder (ass-wise), but the V13 seems quite revolutionary. I think many will be surprised at how good the V13 will be. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, food places have to be close to the L2 charging point, no other drivers fighting for an outlet, and who is going to be the saint. Tall order in general. Maybe take more charging breaks, and take turns, perhaps. Edited August 17, 2022 by techyiam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuerte Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Yep, we still don't know how it will all work, but I understand Inmotion is really trying to knock this one out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a preorder for it through ewheels and am really excited. Learning that ewheels was planning to use Begode batteries for the master pro was a deal breaker for me.

Popular Post Fuerte Posted August 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2022 This is what Jason said to me which rings true to me. "Inmotion has pulled out all the stops on the V13. If you're looking for a near indestructible battery pack, the V13 is the way to go. We also received word that they're using the Samsung 35Es in there, which are some of the best 18650s around. The MasterPro will probably be getting a passing grade, but nothing like the sophistication of the V13. " Jason 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuerte Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Yeah, the Gotway/Begode batteries killed it for me as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) The Begode batteries are completely different from the few ones that had fire problems. Different cells, different voltages and different BMSes, more safety measures. Also, the 18650 Gotway batteries of old were the best ones available, so it's not like they have a history of battery issues compared to others (there also were V10 and V11 fires, for example). I think worrying about Begode batteries is unjustified. But of course there is "totally completely good" (Begode) and "next level" on the V13, so maybe you guys just want the extra quality and peace of mind? Personally, Begode batteries certainly would not stop me from choosing one of their wheels. I'd say the V13 is nice enough as it is, no extra justification needed Edited August 17, 2022 by meepmeepmayer 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no Li-Tech. Edited August 18, 2022 by techyiam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
