wstuart Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I was wondering if you guys could help me figure out why my Sherman S beeped while riding. I was doing a super relaxed ride just now, nothing over 25mph. I was accelararing out of a corner and hit a large speed bump (that I go over frequently. As I went over the bump it sounded like my wheel did one single 'beep' (like the exact same beep it would do if I hit the button to turn on the headlight). Did I ask for too much from thr wheel? There was no pedal dip or change in performance and I was only going about 20mph at the time. Battery was 70% and temps were cool - it was night time EUC world says 3500watts was max power for the ride at 35 amps. Min battery voltage was 86v. Min safety margin was 38%. Im not sure why it beeped. It was a very uneventful slow ride. Edited September 26, 2023 by wstuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was EUC World you can see in the logs what alarm was triggered, if it was wheel that beeped the interesting value would be safety margin (PWM). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said the safety margin was 38%, which seemed pretty easy on the wheel. I ride very connservatively. Ive never had the safety margin go below 30% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevebee Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) It sounds like it has a yellow beam when on low and white when high beam. Yellow is ok for use in UK so that’s cool (although the Euc is not!). Edited September 27, 2023 by Stevebee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrMayArt Posted September 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Hello fella Sherman S owners. Post for ones of you which bought our Cyclope LED lamps of the first generation and have issues with lamp tiltback. This problem got almost fully eliminated on a new Cyclope Pro lamp, but I wish to help you and get to use the solution I made on older lamps as well. Please find the new model of two-part spacers, which much increases the point of contact between lamp and the handlebar, so there is a better grip and much less of tilting during the ride. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6239796 Edited October 1, 2023 by MrMayArt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilvodka Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Does everyone go stiffest spring on Sherman s, to cater for all eventualities or is this the wrong way to look at it? If the spring is too stiff for my weight with gear (175lbs) will the wheel be more unstable under braking due to insufficient sag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the lightest spring, after more than 1,000 miles I still don't regret it. I weigh 76kg, whatever that might be in American. I haven't ridden a lot over the last few months due to the weather, but it is now mid-spring and the weather is OK today, so I might head out now and run up another 100km or so. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the spring is too stiff for my weight with gear (175lbs) will the wheel be more unstable under braking due to insufficient sag? I'm at 200lbs riding weight and I have the 62lb spring version. It was the stiffest spring they offered at the time (batch 2) which is why I chose it. I feel it's fairly well matched to my weight as I just ride almost all street and I don't do dirt jumps, stairs, etc. It's been great and issue free so far for the 11,267km's (7000 miles) I've ridden the wheel. If you decide you want to do jumps and other cool stuff then maybe the 66lb is the better option for your use case. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitten Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 @Lilvodka I have the 62lb spring in mine and I’m around 155lbs before gear. It’s a good ride for the mostly urban riding I do. I’ve done some sets of stairs, up and down curbs, potholes, ledges and roots. It’s been great so far. And I’m at a few thousand km. I think it depends on the kind of drops you’re using it for. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back from my ride, did 100.2km. The battery percentage bounced back to 18% once I stopped, but it showed as low as 12% when riding. I am pretty sure that it the lowest I've had the battery and I've done the same distance before. I think I'm cracking along at faster speeds now, when I was newer to the wheel I was probably not confident enough to ride as fast. I'm still happy to be able to zip along at up to 71.6kph and travel 100km with no real fear of running out of power. This is why I am glad to have the Sherman S rather than the Patton or any other wheel that has less than 3,600Wh. I'm happy with a 3 hour ride, not really looking to ride more than 100km - making this wheel really close to perfect for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should go with the spring that gives you the best range of sag but that might be difficult to know ahead of time so you will have to ask other riders and compare weight, with 175lb weight you definitely don't need the stiffest spring, 62lb would be more suitable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jugon666 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Hi again people, I am looking to replace the 4 silver colored bolts for each side of the battery packs connecting to the controller box. Does anyone know the exact model of bolts to buy for the sherman s? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the spring is too stiff for my weight with gear (175lbs) will the wheel be more unstable under braking due to insufficient sag? I got the 66lbs springs, and I weigh max 90kg fully geared. Its very comfortable. I've used about half preload on the springs and it gives me somewhere between 25%-30% sag. What struck me as a bit strange when adjusting the preload was that there was practically zero resistance on the first circa 8mm of travel, almost like the spring is a bit too short for riding with low preload. In practical terms it works great and IDK enough about suspension to know if its valid criticism or just how coil shocks work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason is: I was disassembling the sherman s to do the first 3000km check up, etc. when putting it back I was careless enough to slightly damage the hex socket on one of the bolts... Total user error from my side, so I thought I would just replace them all next time. Edited October 13, 2023 by jugon666 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he's pretty honest and i enjoy the way they are edited. Have to admit, although i love the v13. If it didn't exist i would have gone for this wheel and it seems like a great one. That seat upgrade is sweet and the wheel looks like it rides great. I wonder what psi he runs in that tire, looks i little low. i haven't been over 25 miles on a ride, 60 must be a nice long trip. Getting to be nice riding weather up here in the north east this time of year, i can wear all my gear finally... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forwardnbak Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I agree this was the wheel I was looking at most when I bought my V13, I really liked my ride on it. The guys around here all love their sherms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forwardnbak Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 had another go today just to feel that suspension again. It is such a great set up, nice wheel. The rumoured 134v would be nice to see rolling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what is the average speed which allows such range and the final voltage of the battery after the trip? I am asking because I am not getting much more than 60 miles out of mine... could it be that I am pushing it too hard most of the time? is 100 miles really realistic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range is related to speed, also depends on your weight, a lightweight chill riding it's not totally unrealistic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
