New wheel alert🚨: Leaperkim Sherman L.

The next EUC from Veteran.

151V 4000wh 46.5kg/102lbs 20"

Battery Auto-balance feature
Acceleration/brake assist feature (0-100%)
Stronger torque
Slightly wider than the Lynx
Smart BMS
Freespin 125kmh
Magnesium alloy:  battery case, trolley handle
Field weakening available
Standard Leaperkim display
Hydraulic Suspension with progressive spring
High grip anti skid stock tire
Powerful headlight

Name and specs of the wheel have leaked online (telegram groups), sourced off communication material from Leaperkim. I consider it's OK to talk about it since it's now out here. Pictures will follow soon (multiple people have them already). Design wise it's a mix between a Lynx and a Sherman S. Official announcement soon. Topic will be updated with new infos so check it out regularly.

Absolutely excited by this wheel, range and power!

Mods: please don't make my topic disappear this time. Thank you. 

Let's go, wheel first look:

Exciting. That name is one letter away from being the right choice. Sherman XL baby

The weight will be 46kg, according to the telegram groups.

Reliable people from Telegram groups provided some information.

• Name: Veteran Sherman L
• Weight: 46 Kg
• Voltage: 151.2 v
• Battery: 4000 Wh

6kg heavier than the Lynx and 1300Wh more battery. Can't wait to see it, the stats sound interesting!

When the Lynx dropped, I thought a 6P config would be ideal.  As long as the price stays in check, I think this wheel will be a big success!

Shut up and take my money. As long as it comes with a Smart BMS, this will be my next wheel.

A bigger battery Lynx. Pretty much exactly what they should offer, as in "makes sense and will sell".

I wish they would offer more wheels, though. How about

• Patton but with higher voltage and big battery (3000+Wh). Not everyone wants a 20 inch tire.
• Try another Abrams! I never understood why there wasn't an Abrams-S, for example.

They are trying to forget abrams 🤣

I think the extra weight on a 16" wheel would defeat some of the pros of having a 16" wheel. (Patton owner here).

 

I for one would have a lot less fun if my Patton weighed over 95lbs.

I'd take a 151V Patton with smart bms if they kept the weight the same.  Should be doable considering Lynx and Patton are practically the same weight.

I think a smart move would be 151v across the whole lineup: patton with 4P, Lynx with 6P and Sherman with 8P.

[meepmeepmayer]

The Lynx is 4p, and the Sherman L 6p.

So an upgraded 151V Patton would be 2700Wh, like the Lynx. Basically a baby Lynx. Why not! With some weight savings, I also think a moderate to no weight increase is possible.

Spec of battery is 4050WH or 4000WH?

Assuming using Samsung 50E or 50S cells.

36 cells x 4.2 V = 151.2 V

36 cells x 3.7 V x 5 Ah x 6P = 3996 Wh

4050Wh  if we use 3.75V 

3996Wh if we use 3.7V

So it seems like both calculation were available.  But this time they ( LeaperKim) prefer the number of 4000WH.

Actually, the nominal voltage is a specification of a cell.

For the LG M50LT cell the nominal voltage is 3.7V.

For the Samsung 50E or 50S, the nominal voltage is 3.6V.

I think people have just adopted the 3.7V across the board because they are so close. And by doing so, the LG cells wouldn't be able to enjoy a higher charge capacity advantage in marketing.

Full specs leaked online.

 

Edit: I see this was also posted on the other Sherman L thread a few hours ago. Maybe the two threads could be merged?

It is possible that "L" stands for "Long Range" (3600+), considering that Sherman wheels are renowned for their substantial battery capacity and impressive range. It is unlikely that they would introduce a model with a battery capacity of less than 3600Wh.

could the "L" stand for Lynx instead? after all, this new wheel appears to be a Sherman-Lynx hybrid.

The other topic is not a Sherman L topic, it's just about asking what comes next. This topic introduces first the wheel and specs.

I'm posting a new Sherman L topic once photos leak. 

[RagingGrandpa]

Are either of you directly communicating with Leaperkim?

Looks really good. Nice the front handles are tapered in slightly and a little wider body too. Very impressive with the size of the batteries. More robust. Really looking forward to the real world range.

Looks exactly like one expects a Leaperkim wheel to look.

I think Sherman L may run 200 Kilometre in terms of the 4000WH battery.
