I am considering new suspension arms (or what you would call it) or just a new shock. If a new shock do the trick then that will be cheaper and easier. (Did not get my Master yet) I have a 1500lb coil spring and 100 plus kg rider on the master, haven't bottomed out yet😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t see much of the suspension action so a day time video and close up of your shock setup would be interesting. Are you using the stock suspension links? I’m still waiting for my Master from EWheels and planning on a shock upgrade so I’m interested in seeing how the spring setup works. Was stationed at Rimini Air Base from 1985-1988, probably before you were born, and my wife and I loved it. Visited Rome a few times, it’s such a fabulous and interesting city, everyone should visit at least once. Looking forward to visiting Italy sometime soon but got to figure out a way to get a wheel there. Thanks EMA! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTurcotte Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Question for everyone: 1) Bug in Darknessbot I was using the app Darknessbot (on iOS) and it worked fine on my old Rockwheel 16 inches and also on my new Begode Master (I believe I have v1.5, with 3 capacitors but no fan). About one month ago, there was an app update and since then Darknessbot does not show any data from the Begode Master. I waited for Darknessbot to make another update thinking it was a bug, but even though there was an update of Darkness bot about 2-3 weeks ago, it still fails to update any data about my master. Here is the actual behavior: a) Load Darknessbot b) Select my Master (using the same name as when I use with the Begode app (which works fine) c) After selecting the Master in Darknessbot, I got the main display that shows all the data like speed, max speed, temperature, Milage, etc. But ALL DATA show a spinning wheel like it is waiting from the wheel to send the data. All the boxes that is supposed to contain the data do not show any data and show a spinning array in each of the boxes. Except for Outside temperature and the compass (which I think comes from the phone instead of the Master). The question is: does anyone else also have this problem? is there a work around? I tried uninstall it, re-installing it, reselecting Begode Master and I always get the same result on my iPhone 5s, iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro. Anyone can help me understand if I am alone with this problem? Michel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks EMA! oh nice man, appreciate your words, if you came here there's a nice group a riders with a wheel for you. i plan to do a video today ( with the light ) and show my setup, the linkage is almost the same, i just made it with carbon plate to do a test. The differences are: lower part that it's 1mm longer, this help you fit a coil shock, specially if you preload the spring a bit lower part has a slim design to avoid hitting the coil inside pictures will make it clear Edited August 18, 2022 by EMA 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 There's a Darknessbot thread, the devs aren't going to see bug reports in here. I'm sure they are happy about your input if they get to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techyiam Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 @EMA Between your Master (modded?) and a Sherman, do they differ much in stability, and how planted they feel at speeds above 70 km/h? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My master Is stock, just coil shock installed and a good tuning. Imho riding lower pedals gives a general more planted feel, like driving a sports car with a rigid setup. It's easy to manouvre, carve and change direction thanks to lower COG. I can still dodge something on the street even at 60-65kmh with the Commander. With the master i Just go over It like an SUV. On the other side the suspension completely eliminate any kind of imperfection at speed, you loose the feedback from the road but you float like an overcraft. Master Is super easy to ride and push to it's limits straightline, but It require more skill and effort to handle it at high speeds. It's all related the the road you are facing but for speed like 70kmh i consider the master a more stable wheel.

techyiam Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) @Jack ex-KS and EEVEES are claiming a top speed of 100 km/h for the 20" Master (not Master Pro 22"). The free spin speed for the Master is 112 km/h. What am I missing? Has anybody verified this after they bought extra health and life insurance? Also, were you sitting or standing?

MTurcotte Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 23 hours ago, young said: How much psi should I put pressure on the suspension? My weight is 145 lbs I weight about 160-165 and I standardized the stock suspension setting at 240-250 lbs. This makes the wheel go down by less than 1 inch when I get on it. I also tried removing all dampers (the knob on the suspension). Going through small rocks (a rough gravel road), I got tired of the vibration. I added about 1.5 turn on the damper and it felt much better. Those dampers are design to reduce specific ‘frequencies of oscillation’ depending on the damper knob adjustment. The less damper you add, the higher the frequency it will absorb. Michel, engineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no experience with tires. What model do you recommend....What should I need to buy ? Heidenau K66 80/90 R14 Nimble silent good thread I am not tire expert just happy user K66 is good tire something like baby make by Kenda 262 and michelin city pro. Have good performance vs price in europe (make in germany) and is in stock anywhere here very nimble compared to knobby kenda. About fiting i no expect any problem but WARNING i not own MASTER before buy consult with others specialy dimensions.

Meserias Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) I ended buying a dual-sport tire ... KENDA K340A I intend to do some forest paths and bad roads that's why I needed something else than street tire .... From what I understand K66 tire it's a good, soft, very good option, but that tire is actually a winter tire (more likely All-Seasons).... also....it's somehow too wide in my opinion.

Flying W Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I have the non snow tex version of the K66 on my RST. It's a little harder compound over the snow one and after 2k miles shows little wear and almost no cupping (feathering, stair stepping etc). I love this tire the most since it works very well on and off road. Even paying to ship stateside is worth it! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
