Speeding - another amazed GotWay MSuper rider

Recommended Posts

Hello all riders !

 

Inspired by youtube user EUC Extreme, I ordered 5th of January 2016 GotWay MSuper V2 850Wh.

After delivery 20th of January 2016, I did my first ride 27th of January 2016.

Yesterday 15th of February 2016 I tested speeding:

I tried to drive continuously over 3rd default level beeps on road and off road.

googlemaps: https://goo.gl/jkygbJ

In time 8:30, 8:33, 9:41 and 9:51 comes more than 3beeps per second.

Camera mount is on the unicycle hand grip.

Does anyone have experience with more than 3 beeps per second ?

Nice mudguard trick @ESBU. I need try that one out. Thanks!

Riding direction is usually the other way. Pedals with wings is forward. There is also marking on the tires per which direction should be forward. Although it perfectly up to the user.

Make sure not to lean too hard to accelerate once you pass 25 km/h. Slowly creep up to top speed is best. I turn first and second beeps off, that way I know when I hit the third beep I need to take it easy or slow down.

@NevNutz So i've been riding mine backwards as well?!  I just found the arrow, and it would indicate the rotation clockwise with the power button on the right when looking at from the side as in the pic above...

I originally assumed I would ride that way also (with power button forward), however I get NEGATIVE values for speed and power when riding this direction from the app so I figured that was reverse so I have been riding with the power button behind me, but... the Negative values mean I'm going the correct way?  Or was the tire installed backward?

I have a MSuper2 too but mine is a MS version. I often ride continuously over 3rd default level beeps which is about 28km/h according to app or about 25km/h according to GPS.
I think it is a safe speed for HS version provided:
1. good road/traffic condition
2. no uphill or steep down hill
3. no more further acceleration
4. you need to be aware of as how much you further away from the 3rd beep

At first sight, I decided to ride with power button forward/right side.

With opened wings, seems to be opposite direction.

Then I found tyre has opposite direction and speed went to minus.

If I use it by tyre direction, speed in + values, wings are like on photo and I think they were designed to ride this direction.

So, I ordered type 2  34kmh/33°, it seems I should have the same type like you - type MS ;)

I was little surprised due to virtual speed and cutoff test.

If I simulate ride (holding lifted in my hands) , cutoff comes in 43-44km/h.

I am in suspicion, they sent me HT HS version.

Is there possibility to find which version I really have?

Look on the motor, there is a HS stamp next to the numbers if it is high speed version.

If the cutoff is 43-44km/h app speed, then it's MS, mine is the same.
For HS version, the cutoff is 50-51km/h.

You can swap pedals to change the wings shape without change tire direction.

too bad they don't come with heads-up display, forget the beeps forever...

off topic, but a smartwatch app is something that would be a bit more practical... I hope gotway steps up the game (or @esaj steps in with an an upgrade to his alternative Gotway app .') )

New EyePhone is the solution ;)
