HEC Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) 23 hours ago, rebeuc said: I was under the impression the V8 series would allow you to upload a custom horn sound which you could trigger via a bluetooth data message. (Not bluetooth audio, but a serial i/o command via the same channel used to read wheel statistics); I was stating exactly that- the wheel having a speaker that could play the 'be careful' warning sound means at the very least I would expect to be able to customize the sound pack on the wheel, not necessarily that it would support streaming bluetooth audio. Though I hope that it does. While you can unload custom sounds to V8, it doesn't have horn functionality or any direct way of sending command to trigger a specific sound file. But once again, I fully expect V13 to have similar sound capabilities to V12, i.e. dedicated horn functionality with customizable sound as well as BT audio, so you can use either with EUC World. I use mine with Flic button to control horn, lights and to trigger the message and can't imagine to riding without one now. The only minor issue I have is that I'm unable to find some nice bicycle bell custom sound which would play correctly / without distortion on V12. If someone happened to find one, please let me know (this is for directly uploading to the wheel and triggering horn function, not custom horn sound playback via BT from EUC World).

That Guy Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Dunno… It feels to me… V13 is a great metaphor for “be careful what you wish for”. And also, I am afraid that if InMotion are blaming prototyping for this potentially inadequate suspension design, then we may be having a longer wait ahead of us for the final product than we are led to believe… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, I am afraid that if InMotion are blaming prototyping for this potentially inadequate suspension design, then we may be having a longer wait ahead of us for the final product than we are led to believe… Right at start of the V13 launch video, the CEO said that the V13 is primarily a heavy cruiser, like a Cadillac. It is about comfort, not track days nor stunts. If you drive a Cadillac Fleetwood down a flight of stairs, then complain about it, what can I say. By saying that it is a prototype means that they heard you. They may look onto it. I think Inmotion is go to try pretty hard not to miss their shipping date. There is the Monster Pro scheduled to be shipped about the same time. A misstep is a good way to lose sales. Like the Sherman when it was released, it is a gamble on both sides. If there are enough advanced riders bringing these to group rides, I think things can change. Edited August 27, 2022 by techyiam 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forwardnbak Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I like that they seem to be taking on feedback well and actively seeking it out. It’s a good strategy to find the issues people want addressed prior to send out. I think KS tried this by sending the first units for feedback but then no changes were made. Maybe IM will make the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEC Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Speaking of feedback / improvements / feature requests ... I'm curious how many of you would be interested in V13 (or some other Inmotion wheels down the road) having RFID lock? I use RFID ring for multiple purposes and its benefits are great, including working in any weather or while wearing gloves and so on.

I actually think it was high Chinese quality standards to blame. Can you imagine yourself making a prototype and not thinking about putting at least some rubber so the metal doesn’t contact metal when it bottoms out? I am looking at my V12 even now after changing the drive board with the new one. It’s a worthless piece of materials that is increasingly bothersome in my house, and I have no idea if InMotion will ever bother to solve my problem.

NSFW Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 What is Inmotion's track record regarding the quality of newly released wheels? I mean, can people who pre-order reasonably expect to get a solid product, or should we expect some first-batch quality/reliability issues like King Song had with their S22?

There was that little hiccup with the V12 release. And water+bearings on the V11. Overall though, "nominal for the industry of late".

Popular Post techyiam Posted August 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2022 9 minutes ago, NSFW said: Yikes. Aside from the S20/22 thread, there are threads for each of the newly released wheels, such the EX.N, S18, V11, V12, Master, Abrams, Sherman Max, V12 HT, etc. You will notice that new models that are basically new from the ground up have more early batch issues than those that are mostly based on an existing models. Wheels such as the V12 HT, and Sherman Max are going to fair better than those that are basically all new. If you are not prepared to deal with early batch issues of newly released wheels, you would surely be disappointed. You said "Yikes" because of your S22 experience. But there is at least one owner who is extremely happy with his S22. EUC world is a crazy one, where someone's lemon can be another's dream wheel, same batch. The upshot is that if you are asking the question, you most likely be disappointed as an early adopter. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onizukagto Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Getting back on topic... Inmotion seems pretty cryptic about a certain V13 test rider showing up at the main office... I wonder who it is? Maybe a certain K******l?

My take on this that Inmotion will be posting posting high speed runs to demonstrate the V13 high speed capability, since they mentioned the motorcycle one piece leather suit as protective gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air springs can be adjusted in a wildly large range. I don't think they would be the limiting factor regarding rider weight. Coil springs on the other hand would definitely benefit from published rider weight ranges. Edited August 29, 2022 by mrelwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
