If this is true: That is a testament to the board! We're at a point where the board is strong enough so the motor (the motor!) fries first. What a change from the old days! Pretty cool. Minus the entire motor frying part... not sure how to fix that. Just make everything even stronger? You think their new C40 motor can take more? Can't wait to hear what exactly broke.

I think regardless they need to put a firmware limit to prevent it from happening, temp sensor would have been nice to have also. Josh (the owner) shared two videos on telegram showing the aftermath inside the motor, lots of burnmarks all around the coils: 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BULL Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Well, that's what awaits my V2... since I want it to do "fun" Off Road... I hope it was bad luck... What you explain is very strange.

What you explain is very strange. I would like to know more details about what happened... It's not about luck, controller can deliver more power than motor can handle, if Begode don't update firmware and put a limit in there everyone is at risk if you push your wheel hard. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BULL Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 And why in the Master 2400 nothing happens...? I heard that the EX20S was "neutered" by firmware so as not to burn the motor... but I hope that the Master Pro has improved this situation.

He's 200lb/90kg, went up a long steep hill, wheel dropped after about 45 seconds going up the hill his words. I weigh more and done worse on the Sherman Max and S22, good news is that this is a firmware issue, bad news is that we need to wait for Begode to acknowledge, fix it and hopefully communicate that they did.

chanman Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Impressive, I guess IM was ahead of the game with the extra thicc wiring. You would think the 4500 watt rating on the motor would make it hard to overheat, but on a long steep hill that might have been exceeded for a significant duration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BULL Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Confirmed by TORQUEPADS; The suspension links are the same as the Master 2400. So the Tomasello ones will be just as compatible!! Good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Major Issue with Begode Master Pro After 150 miles! JoyRideJay 1.71K subscribers Jan 31, 2023 Mind you guys. This was all covered under warranty. But if you know anything about bearings. Cheap stock Chinese bearings are terrible. If you can go on ahead and upgrade, do it. It makes a world of a difference. Rolls so much smoother, and easier. Less drag. So essentially better range as your stressing your battery less. Highly recommend the $200 upgrade. Let’s Gooo!

I had the crunchy knocking after getting caught out in the wet. Fortunately, LiquiMoly Marine saved having to change the whole bearing. Has been running silently ever since (touch wood etc). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeforester Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Talk about Begode ‘good enough - Pass’ fool-osophy, they must know there’s an army of suckers willing buyers out there - still, a great way to add to /transform the value of your investment, as well as making it a bit more ‘fit for purpose’.

I like doing "fun" Off Road and I'm nervous to do something crazy with my future V2! Is big? Yeah!! heavy? YEAH!!!!! But it has 22" and an engine that I fall in love with and I'm nervous about driving it! My doubts are the linkage and suspension system. I believe and there are people who say that it is the same system as the "Master 2400". I have the Tomasello ones and they work very, very well! And I want to know if the system of the Pro is the same. I also have to see if the original shock is improved and no longer has the flaws of the first versions of the Master. I really want to ride with this "little wheel" and see its behavior in Off Road! I will soon be ordering one aswell .this is what Jason from ewheels sent me on all the upgrades of the v2 master pro 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem604 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I saw the MP V2 today. I really think the V1 looks a lot better but the metal battery cases are nice. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adel Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 There needs to be a quick v3 redesign of this wheel to redo the front ( both headlight and pads) and also put back the old rear stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbhb Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Ugly/puzzling design choices and the usual poor-quality choice of materials, seeing as this Brand New V2 Master Pro looks to already have a huge rip in the left-hand side of the top pad/seat foam!

Popular Post Cerbera Posted February 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Yep, baffling why anyone would choose a round headlight there, in amongst all those hard angles... if I was being generous I could attribute that to being a genuine attempt by Gotway to take on board the comments about the previous lights on the Master having such a rubbish / unnecessarily wide beam profile, but if I was feeling cynical, and experienced in Gotway history as I am, I would probably imagine that someone simply put an extra 0 on the order form for MTen4 lights, and now they need to get rid of 'em quick !!

Good eye! I noticed the rip in the foam as well and the employee told me that it happened when they took it out of the box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
