The light might sit on a metal cooling body behind it, and the fins are what you see of this body. But yeah, the lights on this seem to be great! In about 24h we'll know more hopefully. It is a bit annoying that we have to wait for a first view of this wheel. I doubt they gonna change anything major in the design, unless is something really bad ( in this “testing” period ).

bpong Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) this was posted on facebook inmotion electric unicycle group a few days ago. it shows a different color config but does show a glimpse at the rear coil and linkage. plus there are some battery pack end bumpers that are orange in this wheel that i guess act as low bumpers for the battery packs. they look abit vulnerable and fragile... the black shroud that covers the both battery packs - i wonder if that is covering just the battery connectors or also covering the battery exchange mechanism...?

As I know InMotion, they put another click-in foam side-panel like on the V12 . I know it’s horrible for them to keep doing that, but it’s the bad habit they’re addicted to it seems (not a killer mistake though). In this close up it’s clear that those orange side panels look more like made out of plastic: lower sunk in screw hole is plastic casing regular feature (though not exclusive to plastic, rarely seen on metal casings). And those orange strips on the most forward part of the casing seem strangely similar to the metal strips on the lower corners of the V13 ?? What do you think 🤔 Edited August 14, 2023 by Paul g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpong Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Paulg; not familiar with V13 but i do see those small angled strips on the front mid apex of the mild point of the side casing. what the heck are they covering ? or are they meant to be sacrificial pieces....we'll know soon enuf...

Paul g Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I’m amazed they went for a luggage type of handle, but it makes sense for the type of suspension construction, and it’s really nice to trolley around , I hope is not Begode quality though 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V13 had some steel plates on the plastic casing to give it rigidity and protect it from impacts. These ones look very similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unventor Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 11 hours ago, meepmeepmayer said: It has a proper, truly usable, bright backlight! For once I don't agree with you. That shot is without any other lighting source. So it is very difficult to judge the link lighting at the time this is filmed and how much the camera is "adjusting" to the light as a camera work very different to human eyes. Also it is difficult to evaluate if any HDR settings are used. If they used HDR the image will not be equlliant to any visual we see with naked eye. But I do hope Inmotion has listen to feedback from rider that lights is a feature that can be improved upon. We have seen a very positive trend. So I would expect it to continue. Just thinking to compare V8 vs V10f and V11 as wheels I own or owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare the sizes (specifically the height) of the battery packs. Each pack will have 24 cells for 100V, 30 for 126V, and 32 for 134V. So higher voltage = taller pack. Use the tire (should be always pretty much the same size) as a point of comparison. Begode T4 (100V) - a pack is about as tall as the diameter of the metal rim, but definitely not as tall as the outer diameter of the tire. Spoiler Begode Extreme 134.4V - a pack is pretty much as tall as the tire (a little less, but not much). Spoiler And finally the V14/Adventure with unknown voltage - what do you think it looks closer to? Spoiler My guess: Spoiler I changed my mind 3 times, but before I go crazy and start pixel counting, I'll just guess that it's a 126V pack - looks bigger than the one on the T4, and maybe a little smaller than the one on the Extreme.

Reveal hidden contents And finally the V14/Adventure with unknown voltage - what do you think it looks closer to? Reveal hidden contents For me, the Inmotion pack is definitely bigger than the one on the T4, and I wouldn't know how they could have it so tall if it's only a 100V pack. It looks maybe a little less tall than the one on the Extreme, but not much. So my bet is that it is a 126V 2220Wh wheel like the Patton. Make of that leaf reading what you will. Might be just wishful thinking on my part, given that the one leak we have says 100V. That makes complete sense. I think Begode currently and for the forseeable future will continue to have the highest voltage wheel and be the preferred "racing wheel" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good night +1 I also think it could reasonably be 126 V, based on visual estimation of the images below: Not sure if 134 V is that critical to have. According to Hsiang, he didn't feel that the Commander Mini was that superior in motor performance. Although, the Extreme could be a different story. But we don't have the data to know one way or the other yet. If the motor performance of the Adventure is comparable, that is what really counts.

Popular Post Ruben De Waele Posted August 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 Still think the Commander Mini has one of the best designs out there, the leaked adventure so far no quite, but then again it's more about the capabilities of the wheel especially with off-road/jump wheels. everybody seems to be talking about battery and motor power but anything 126v will do just fine on the trails and jumps, you don't really need 134v unless you brake for every corner and don't keep your momentum. I'm more interested in the suspension and the swappable battery packs tbh :/ 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrelwood Posted August 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 Many people have had to invent different kinds of solutions to Patton and Sherman S since the sharp edge of the body and the shock top end dig into their leg while riding. I felt this too with a 1 minute test ride in the S. Commanders have the same shape and similar looking width so I’m not expecting any more comfort on those. The Adventure, 16S and 19S are the only new wheels with even a possibility of comfortable ride ergonomics out of the box. Anyway, the Adventure teaser is starting any second now: 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrelwood Posted August 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 4000W motor, 9000W peak, 110km/h free spin (expected top speed 70km/h), torque 850N, 50 degree climb, Raptor controller, 42 mosfets, 18 capacitors, up to 450A continuous. Launch event Sep 1st. At least it’s very different from the S16… A real powerhouse! 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InMoOnGoWa75012 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 From my mind : 100v and 1800wh cannot produce 9KW peak. EX30 or EX.n can do this with standard battery pack, not Inmotion wheels, isn't it ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul g Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) The motor is wider than anything I’ve seen until now. It might be that more powerful than the Patton?? Edited August 15, 2023 by Paul g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
