chanman Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Please try to build up some speed and then cut off your motor at the bottom of the ramp if you think you can make it up so easily like a skateboard can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1up Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 question is... can the s22 output in MPH yet.. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think how the wheel would react when accelerating and braking. Or if it would include the vertical acceleration to assess how to tilt the pedals, what happens when you ride over a bump.

novazeus Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 waiting wasn't an option for me. i was wheelless. but if i had wheels that were getting me around, and the price difference wasn't that great, i'd definitely wait for the new s22 with the 4000 watt motor. i have a friend on here doing exactly that because he hasn't the time to wrench on a wheel. i don't either but i might sell this s22 to somebody later and buy the 2023 model. if the 2023 model is thousands more, then i'll be wrenching myself. honestly, i haven't ridden either yet, but i bet the s18 is gonna be my favorite for my situation. handling, maneuverability, weight, etc etc is more important than range or speed for me. i'm always looking at the pavement as i ride and doing calculations on how bad i'll be hurt hitting it if the wheel fails on me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where’d you hear about bigger motor? I’d like to know if more battery will be an option next year for extended range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

litewave Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) eWheels informed me a couple weeks ago that: New batches will have upgraded sliders. These won't have LiTech packs, but eWheels says they will be definitely fitting them with 40Ts as well. "Price should be the same" but [they] need to make sure with KS. KS promised to ship out a supply of the upgraded motors in the next container. For pinning down an ETA with the sliders & these other motors, [they're] probably about 6 weeks out [comment: eWheel's time estimates tend to be optimistic.] Edited December 17, 2022 by litewave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can one get away with cleaning the sliders after each use for a bit or is it something that you should probably do ASAP! When mine arrived I took it apart (I do this anyway, QC problems are not unique to any single manufacturer) and cleaned the so-called-grease (it's really glue) from the sliders using acetone. I also removed the rubber stoppers and replaced them with a dust prevention cap I got on fleabay (excellent seller, great product). Then I made sure the bolts that hold the shock weren't so tight the shock linkage was bound up (shims). Suspension was pretty good after that. After about 200 miles I squirted some 3M dry silicone spray in the lube ports of the dust prevention caps, and the ride got better! It's almost but not quite as smooth as my carefully aligned S18. Since then, only 1 more squirt of dry silicone and it's not squeaking or misbehaving in any way. I'm very happy, although I will move to roller sliders at some point. It's not mandatory for me, but it'll be nicer! Oh. I'm a very light rider so I swapped out the spring for a 500 lb/in version (to set sag at about 20% of the shock travel). You'll want to check your sag and make adjustments accordingly. I'll probably go to 600 lb with the stock sliders, then back to the stock 750 when I switch to rollers.

I have heard that too... and the source was attributed to eWheels, but it's a rumor until it's not! The existing motor can overheat. The power ratings for electric motors used to be an indication of how much heat they could continuously dissipate but I have zero idea what the EUC people are saying when they say "this many watts". One can imagine that a motor rated for higher power dissipation also has more torque, but it's not guaranteed to be a 1:1 relationship. The change could be simply better cooling, or it could be more efficient, or both, or neither.
