Popular Post Finn Bjerke Posted January 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2022 yeah yeah I know Inmotion need to focus on the V12 problems - but Im after the V13 since I need a powerfull suspension wheel to take the place of my V11 and the Sherman.. So how many Volts? what is topspeed, ETA etc etc? Give us a clue ? Kingsong and Begode will steal markeds shares if Inmotion stays silent is my guess. Not communicating is also communication..... So the promised statement of january 2022 please come with dear Inmotion ppl ,,, 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forwardnbak Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 They have a few hours of Jan left Agree some info would be welcome. s20 would do the Sherman/v11 crossover pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbihexium Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 They just posted a holiday message to Instagram and said they'll be out of office for a week starting on the 31st. I'm gonna guess no announcements until they're back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wolverine Posted February 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 @KekafuchThe reason why they have not yet given us information about the new unicycle is quite clear. They are focused on solving the V12 (HS) power MOSFETs problem. Also, the new version of the V12 (HT), which they announced lately, requires a lot of attention from the manufacturer so that it does not make the same mistakes as have done with the V12 HS. We are all ready to wait for the manufacturer to get things right before giving us new information about the new unicycle. In meanwhile, please feel free to read these topics: 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are experiencing a massive stuff-up with something they were so confident that they even introduced a follow-up version. I do feel @Kekafuch though. It is yet another time we were promised something that for whatever reason they cannot commit to. Chinese manufacturers, despite all the long way they have made, still have quite different from the West understanding of responsibility, reputation and professional pride. And although we do understand the cultural differences and "love them as they are", it still hurts. Because, you never know when there will be the next "prize-(not)-giving" competition or "(not)-very-soon-release"...

So the promised statement of january 2022 please come with dear Inmotion ppl ,,, I am wondering the same things - especially hoping for some serious range on the v13 to hopefully combine suspension with sherman-like range (i know it's probably not likely to have a battery that big). Really hope to hear some update soon - the wheel is supposed to be released Spring of 2022 is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yoos Posted February 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 Here's your "insider" news (from the ecodrift news channel): 90kmh [top speed, not free spin] 3000+Wh suspension presumably not much more expensive than S20, but that's vague US dealers apparently have already requested 3000 eucs. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Bjerke Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Nice info yoos. Where is it from ? Not being negatrive here just curious. Inmotion says best topspeed and best torque..... Maybe there will be 2 models ? 90 kmh is suicidal. I want this wheel badly wonder how many Volts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I imagine the timeline could be: February - introduction of concept, June - first videos, September - fist examples with testers, Christmas '22 - first batch shipped. (January '23 - major issues being sorted,) (March '23 - final product) Maybe I am just a pessimist... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techyiam Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) The plot thickens. 90 kph top speed. If I cruise at a speed a little below that, how many Wh battery would I need to have a usable range. For argument sake, let's say 40 miles. Or is it meant for just bursts. In addition, how powerful a motor, and p's battery configuration would I need to operate at those speeds and have some reserve for braking? And they can do it for arounds the msrp of a S20? In light of the current drama with the V12 mosfets debacle, and this is just for 70 kph, how confident would we be with these new wheels, since controller boards, motor, and battery packs will surely be brand new designs. And to my last point, at 90 kph top speed, how many customers will still be outside of ICU's, rehabilitation facilities, or jails, if they are lucky to be still alive. Impact forces resulting from 90 kph crashes are usually the life changing type in urban environments outside a race track. I hope that Inmotion manages to pull a rabbit of a hat to allow phenomenal emergency braking performance. Their V12 flagship was showing the opposite. I own a V12, and it showing inMotion is still playing catch up in the top speed arena. I like the V12 for what it is. However, even at 60 kph, it does not offer exceptional stability nor phenomenal brakiing. They would have to make an interstellar jump to get to 90 kph playing field. On the plus side, I like the solid, premium refined feel, and supple ride, relatively speaking (when configured correctly). Build quality is definitely above Begode's in design and material. While inMotion tries to do it more properly, Begode appears to take a more cost effective approach, but sometimes end up being just quick and dirty.

Tawpie Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 good lord... 90 kph on a 16" wheel sounds like a real butt clencher. I mean it'd be nice to have in the back pocket like having access to a 1 ton pickup—you might need it some day, but jeepers that's fast for a little wheel.

Finn Bjerke Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 V13 will prob be 18" or more.. High speed suspension wheel Seems logical to me...

That Guy Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It is anticipated to be 20". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Bjerke Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 18 inch at least .... suspension travels and high topspeed. Seems logical to me to keep tire huge... BTW V11 tyre for off road in mud is terrible..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post techyiam Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) At the outset, let it be known that I am coming from a safety perspective. Without other advancement in safety in parallel, I am starting to be concerned with top speeds of 80, 90 or higher speeds on euc's. Relying on current know-how, the standard approach to improve high speed stability is primarily to use a larger diameter wheel and/or more mass. Examples of some of the faster wheels would be like the Monster Pro, or the Abrams. Even if we assume that owners are happy with these wheels for cruising in the neighborhood of 80 kph, going down a slight slope on a not so glass smooth road, Inmotion is not a manufacturer of these wheels. Their experience with high speed wheels design is limited to their V12. What is starting to worry me is how fast these fastest wheels are getting, but all the while there don't seem to be any announcements of the necessary advancement in technolog relating to high speed performance. Also, Monster Pro and Abrams don't have suspension. Will suspension make it more or less challenging to achieve the highest speeds? My guess is that it isn't so straightforward. High speed suspension tuning can be a can of worms in itself, especially with ultra cheap shocks, and on top of that, it is an ultra cheap shock suspension on an euc.

Popular Post RamonatheCat Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 My feeling is that having a wheel capable of insanely high speeds is nice cause I can still ride at 20mph and have a huge cushion knowing that I'm not challenging my wheel at all. Actually going anywhere near 90kph seems like a death wish imho. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Smith Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Surely it has to be at least a 20" wheel if they're talking 90kph top speed. It's what I am hoping for anyway. If they can combine what they have learnt from the V11 and V12 they should have a strong competitor for the S20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
