I'm riding with 65% ride mode and 30% assist now and it works for everything, skatepark, climbing, off-road, it's really nice, also gives a bit of extra cushioning, overall assist feels like a very nice addition when you find your sweet spot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Forwardnbak Posted July 27 Popular Post Share Posted July 27 Today I jumped back on the wheel for a decent roll and did a quick 50km. I updated before I rolled with no problems. My arm is still in a sling so i couldn’t push it but still hit good speeds and played with some fast acceleration. I set assists to 50/75/100 and it feels good. Much more subtle than inmotion assists. It made seated rolling feel easier, a little more comfy as you just don’t need to lean as much. Made a zippy wheel more zippy. I captured some footage and some slow motion to maybe see how it looks with a little test. Great to see Leaperkim still improving things. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to wait till my arm is out of the sling and go and test it a little more. Hardness was 85% i was running gps but didn’t kick Darknessbot open to track stats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's hardness and assist... but what's the 3rd and which is which in your setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 values were different assist amounts it was actually 50-70-100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0me Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Ahh ok, so they were all settings you tried for the new pedal assist option? What did you settle on? Are you a 100% rider for pedal hardness or...? I used to be but giving it 20-40% softness works pretty well for me now. I haven't really been able to feel what pedal assist brings to the party but if its just pedal angle on acc/dec then it can stay at 0 I think.

Standard4130 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 PSA, My Lynx survived full but very brief submersion into a pond today…. I got crossed up in roots while trail riding & we both tumbled down into the water. Only the beeper seemed affected but after riding with the headlight pointed sky high for a few minutes, all is well 👍🏼 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthraksi Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Yeah I would have to ease my mind as well by doing a full disassembly of the wheel. Well not full, but thorough enough that I check at least the battery boxes and controller department. Battery boxes because you are currently running a risk that water got in there and causes a short, which may even ignite the whole thing. I'd rather not take the risk. Might have also gotten water into the motor which will end up rusting it, so that would be nice to pop open too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys 👍🏼 Before you start you might wanna go get some black silicone if you plan on opening the battery packs. I guess clear would work too. Also if you plan on popping the motor cover open, you might wanna get some insulation for that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandatoryFun Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Just got a flat on the stock Kenda 262 while riding and I'm exploring tire options. Seems like most people like the Shinko tires. I noticed chooch has a video with the tubeless 14-80/90 TNT Tire that is an option at ewheels. It's tempting because I primarily just ride on street but I haven't seen anybody else with it. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s the tire you can get on the new Sherman L & every review I watch of that wheel they talk about how good that tire is…. I just mounted the Shinko 244 on my Lynx and so far so good 👍🏼. It definitely has brought some more stability especially in higher speed turning on the street. I need to re-seat it because there’s a slight bounce in the tire now…. Time will tell how much I really like it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthraksi Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 2 minutes ago, stephen said: will lynx suspension fit the Sherman S? Yes. If your intention is to upgrade the spring to the progressive one, you could just get the springs and open the stanchions and swap it out yourself if you want to. As far as I know they are otherwise the exact same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the same length but I am not 100% sure of all the other dimensions are exactly the same (mainly the screw holes for the battery mounting), might be but maybe best to check with a reseller first.

Standard4130 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 For what it’s worth, I got word from Jason @ eWheels that the Lynx & Sherman L are exactly the same and swappable…. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah you are actually right, might want to measure the screw holes first and see if they are in the correct spot. Asking a reseller would be the best bet as said. Would guess that they are identical, but you never know and might not want to risk it. https://oneride.eu/en/spare-parts/698-suspension-for-leaperkim-veteran-shermans-lynx-electric-unicycle.html Oneride kinda implicates that they should be the same though.

Standard4130 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Any of you guys concerned about this? I know it startled me a bit…. I checked mine and it does flex but not as much as the one in this video…. I had been having trouble at the speeds Dawn mentions, switching to the Shinko 244 has helped & I don’t have rubbing but I also don’t carve hard at high speeds…..

Not at all concerned, my guess is that he/someone changed tire and did not torque the clamp bolts to spec. Surprising that so many EUC enthusiasts don't have proper tools, torque adapter is not that expensive. Edited August 1 by Rawnei 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
