I have a CST Moped tubeless rear tire. The tire profile is not very round. Mounted on my V12 rim. When ridden, the V12 can no longer make tight turns. It became a chore to turn since I would have to lean the wheel so much. Then I replaced that with a Cordial Scooter front tire. My V12 then turns very similar to when it had the stock tire on. Except now my V12l feels more stable and planted than ever. @Clem604 Have you tried a front motorcycle tire on an electric wheel? I was told to get the front tire by several DFW EUC riders. Never was given a reason why. This post puts it all together for me. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, how much do I use the kick stand I have, which was included ? Hardly ever - always gets leaned against a wall or tree, which there always seems to be nearby these days... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh…they include one accessory in the way of pads and what is the first thing 90+% of buyers do? Toss the factory pads and slap on after market pads. Why pay a bit more for something people will likely replace, anyway? The companies seem to fall short on the design of the outer parts of these machines. I’m fine with more creative people providing options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the key isn't it ? - they should be including pads and stands that are good enough in the first place to not warrant instant replacement by 95% of the people that use them ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, to look at it from another angle, at least pertaining to pads. That is to give the stock pads a chance. Here is my example. The Abrams comes with stock pads. Instead of buying aftermarket pads right away, I decided to try out the stock ones first. And to no one's surprise, I initially thought the pads didn't do anything useful, or in other words: they were garbage. But I persisted (in other words, I am cheap. ). I added non-slip carpet tape over the stock pads, and also taped some just above the pads too to increase the non-slip contact area. That improved things greatly. And over time, as I learn to use the stock pads setup, I could accelerate and brake better and better. I am quite happy with the enhanced stock pads right now. Also, the stock pads and non-slip tape proved durable. I no longer feel the need for aftermarket pads.

Yes, they should. We absolutely agree on this. However, until that time….. My Grizzla pads are finally on the way. 😉😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKW Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) I guess there is a section you can put the rear light into? Edited April 24, 2023 by BKW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a CP yet so what is the improvement factor with these CNC grips compared to the stock plastic ones? Worth the buy? I also saw your post on FB that you got these from EUC Underground. Much cheaper than the ones on aliexpress? Obviously, I am interested in these. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKW Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I just asked the price for the CNC grips in the telegram chat and he said "$500 for the set". Not sure what "the set" is, but I'm better off buying them from aliexpress at that price. I thought EUC Undergroud is supposed to be a cheap alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks 👎 Yeah, I just confirmed with him. $500 for a set of cnc trolley handle and front and back handles. I also asked if I can buy parts separately and he said no. Hell no. Hard pass That's more than aliexpress He was/is selling the original CP with the set for $3200 way back in March. That was a deal. But 500 by itself is a no-go Edited April 25, 2023 by BKW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKW Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I also am told by others that the 3rd batch will come with the CNC parts automatically anyway. Honestly, probably better to wait for the 3rd batch to drop before buying these EXPENSIVE accessories by themselves. I literally had a negative visceral reaction when I heard the prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get the CP I'll check out the plastic handles myself, but I cannot justify these prices right now. If the handles are sharp or whatever I'll gladly use a tape remedy or something, no problem. I realize I'm kind of complaining a lot here, but these prices for things are getting ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKW Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Anyone know the SAFE max charging amperage of the Commander Pro? All I can find online is that it comes with a 3amp charger, but this tells me nothing about its max amperage charging potential. I've also saw some guy on FB supposedly charging his CP at 22 amps by bypassing the BMS, but this doesn't seem a safe way to charge your CP battery...

Hey, I'm that guy 😀 lol. 29 amps if you bypass the BMS per Taylor at Indyspeedcontrol.com 👍 10 amps if you're charging using BMS per Marty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yeah. I'm asking all over the place because this question is bothering me lol. Nice to know you're the same person! 29 amps is insane! Obviously you've done your research, but I would really have to look deep into that before I used 29 amps Thanks btw! I plan on doing some "traveling" and want to use EV charging stations like you do. The faster the charge the better!

I never paid 500$ for the 3 pieces package but somehow now it costs this price which is crazy and not acceptable. The plastic trolley is definitely sharp and this cnc one is a welcomed upgrade.

Surprised they are only allowing 10A via the BMS. Even the more "measured" Sherman-S is marketed at 15A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheel’s charging connectors are usually the weakest link. Many cheap GX-connectors are rated at 5A each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
