He doesn’t like the cornering and has no wobbles. Mine corners great but I’ve got tons of wobble above 20 mph. I think how you ride, your gear setup, and your brain make everything different for each rider. I have a hard time going slow on mine because it’s so easy to go fast. lol, I crashed because of this. Irony. it’s a smooth stable ride for me. I need to get used to riding faster than my v11 takes me.

Tasku Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 6 hours ago, Poker said: I'm curious as to how it holds up tumbling down the street. I saw a french guy get hit by car(in video section). The truck stopped atop of the sherman-S. Lucky the guy had topnotch gear. So he was ok. But the truck still had its wheel over the sherman-S. Turns out he only changed one pedal. That is the hardest hit I seen so far to the wheel. If you have a hard crash, remember to take your wheel to inspection check-up. I assume the scratch on metallic surface could be filed and painted if something happens to the wheel in crash. Lookin at the first batches, I would prolly take extra water protection service /inspection to first batch or early wheels from shop. Some people don't like stock pedals too, but that is nothin new I gues. If you on safe side, just wait to see long term usage reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be sure you are happy for 2 years, stop reading this forum (and the internet in general). Avoid learning about the next shiny object! 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vBlitz Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 The biggest crash is probably the 50mph one seen on telegram. Broken rear handle, but otherwise it doesn't seem to be too damaged. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that you have decided to never buy any EUC? I doubt that there is any EUC made that didn't have one single unit fail, so you presumably would rule out buying any, at all, ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, none of what you posted lines up with your previous post about a single Sherman S having some sort of hall sensor fault and you proclaiming that you were no longer tempted to buy a Sherman S. You certainly gave the impression that a single fault in a single unit was enough to make you decide that you wouldn't buy the wheel. If that wasn't the point you were making on your post then I'm afraid your point eludes me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same post he provided picture with error hall message and short footage of him performing a trail ride, during which Sherman just cut out from under his legs. Fortunately it happened on a very low speed. In the comments someone else said, that he had the same thing with his Sherman S, and In his case it was because of the sloppy wiring In the motor.

techyiam Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Oh boy, I hope it isn't going to be like the Abrams production release all over again. The Abrams had hall sensors related issues that caused cutouts. It seems that only Veteran is cursed with hall sensor related issues with new motors. Well it is still too early to tell how wide spread this issue potentially is. Edited January 23, 2023 by techyiam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sherman S will be my 3rd wheel from the Leaperkim. I did about 10k km on OG Sherman and almost 8k on MAX. I have never had any problems with these wheels, so I hope that this hall error will not be my case as well. But it is still very worrisome, especially considering the fact that due to the snow in Poland I won't be able to test this thing properly.

Clem604 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 So if there are hall sensor issue(s) with the wheel will it manifest itself in the beginning or could it happen at any time? I think Eevees sold around 30 (I could be wrong) batch 1 wheels so I will inquire with them if any customers have had any hall sensor related errors.

Hopefully this is just a couple of coincidental failures, not a larger issue. But it sure makes the V13 redundant hall sensor system look like a great idea. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I hope so because I'm going ahead with the Sherman S regardless. I doesn't bother me being a guinea pig for future Sherman S owners, I suppose someone has to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
