I have to pump up my suspension once a week as it slowly deflate each day. Also I wish the suspension was smoother. I know there are master upgrades and I wonder if the ones that work for the master will work for the T4 as well. You could also adding some forkoil. A little messy but it does work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUCzero Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Yes. try some oil for dampers. Will help with the leaking. Open the main chamber after depleting all pressure. Put som oil on all rubber seals (o-rings). Some extra drop of oil inside the main chamber. Also check for leak in the valve (where you pump up the pressure) as mentioned. Many have had leakage there. Many have changed to coil shock with great success on the Master. You can do the same on T4. Edited March 27, 2023 by EUCzero 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyph Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. The shock isn’t bad once I figured out to turn the dampening knob (haha). I dread opening the unit now so I may try to oil the valve. Anything else I can try without opening the whole thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before investing in a set of expensive 3rd party linkages and a new shock, you could try a 3d printed volume spacer for the shock. It would allow you to use lower stock pressures without bottoming out, which would result in a softer ride at small surface inconsistencies. So apparently my issue was not losing the dampener from default from factory. Shock is much better now. Even the leak isn’t as bad once I loosened it up. Going to monitor to see if I will need to open it up eventually to oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alu battery cases and beefier pedals are heavier. I would chose older version with full Grizzla armour and pads, weight would be around same, but with better shield and and pads.

Drunkard Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I have not kept up with T4 at all after I seen the original wheel in person with it's plastic batteries.. Seeing now the aluminium cases makes me more curious. Since the price and the weight will be lower than the Patton it actually might be worth considering. I'm not extreme rider myself, and I feel like the shape of T4 is a bit more friendly for my lady also. The only concern I have is waterproofing. I remember Denis review where he got a bad bearing after one ride in a light rain.. Was this addressed at all? Does this wheel require any additional silicon or waterproofing straight out of the box to handle light rain conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanDiegoGuy Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 With the updated version of the T4 with aluminum battery casing and spiked pedals, will the Grizzla fairing combo still fits? I plan on buying the Grizzla fairing combo. I am expecting my latest version of the T4 from Ewheels in a few more weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post here if you somehow find the answer from Grizzla. Edited April 7, 2023 by Meserias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't the two mix afterwards anyway if you do it like this? I blasted iso alcohol from a can into my V11 bearings to clean them out and filled them up with marine grease. Seems to have done the job...looking fwd to doing the same on my incoming T4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than that will probably shorten the riding range and heat the bearings up more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterwards removed seal and cleaned the grease that was stuck to seal. And then put the seal on again.)

daniel1234 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I tried older nikola t3, it really ride faster. Why T4 is slower than Nikola t3 ? (this is from my t4 v2 board with qs motor) : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaWay Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 So is there a T4 V3 or are we still on V2? What's the general consensus on the current T4s? Is the current T4 a ready to go out the box EUC or one that still needs some TLC to be made almost "right"? Thought I wanted a t4 instead if waiting on a S19 v2, but I'm second guessing the t4 after reading the last few pages here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begode is not known for best out-of-box experience. So no ...But sometimes, if it works, it let you do crazy things like : Good luck doing that with any Kingsong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brand new T4 is charging to 97.5V only, the charger is ok at 100.5V, so I will have to try and balance the packs manually, I'm at 70kms will several recharges from 50 60% and the voltage is still not up. Ordered the MR60 connectors to charge the lagging packs individually (also from my PV system, DC to DC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
