Duster Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Based on the photos, this is basically everything I wanted as a Sherman S upgrade! The only things that stand out are the trolley handle being so narrow in the middle (that'll make it slightly harder to mount a custom seat), and I don't know to what degree the smart bms will provide cell detail in the app (will it be comparable to the Lynx or surpass?) Also, did the photo about the "high grip anti skid tire" actually say "chocolate tires are more wear resistant" at the bottom???

YCC Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 What is the rated power of motor of Sherman L? The material showed the power is 3200W and peak is 8000W, however, they also said the rated power is 5000W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickysock Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Just imagine, the old Sherman S running 100v stayed relevant all this time. Leaperkim probably optimized the hell out of this 151v update. I am soooo ready 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem604 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) This will be the wheel that will replaces my trusty Sherman S at some point. I can get around 150km's per charge (as a 200lb geared up rider) so I'll look forward to riding up to 200km's+ on a charge.

Sherman L motor has different copper wiring, which gives it more torque and an overall power. Edited July 6 by Merkyu Kyu Kyu 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motor power of Sherman L(3200W) is only 200W larger than Sherman S(3000W). I am of the opinion that they all use the identical motor including Lynx(3200W). I am a little disappointed.

As a result, they are able to call L has more torque and power than Lynx since L use different copper wiring compared with Lynx but they both have motor spec of 3200W? I am a little confused.

I’ve never heard of them, and their store page links to a place where they sell the mten3 and the Lynx for ~$2800 & $26 flat rate shipping to the US. A bit suspicious imho.. If it is, and anyone has any good anecdotal experience, I’d be totally willing to buy from them, as that’s a price I couldn’t refuse.

Anthraksi Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Prices they pay in China are very different from EU or US/CA. The Lynx costs 4000-4200 so what makes you think this will be cheaper? Most likely 5k. Below doesn’t make sense as it will cannibalize Lynx sales completely. It still might though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Tail light with multiple modes Kickstand 5A stock charger 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: , I like that they’re upgrading their Sherman S to higher voltage and battery but they are still using the same tail light that everybody protested against for so long and there is no sign yet that they’ve improved the wheel’s rigidity in the well (there are jokes on the internet by Begode fans on this subject).

Very impressive with the size of the batteries. More robust. Really looking forward to the real world range. Sorry, where does it say is wider body?

Euc prices in China are much lower due to them being made in China. They don't have do deal with massive tariffs and VAT that the rest of the world has to deal with. I remember Kuji's V13 video and someone asked him in Chinese how much it cost, and he says something asking the kind of $2000 USD equivalent. My mind was blown! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is proposing a 60% tariff on all Chinese imports if elected. Our wheels will quickly become unaffordable.. obviously this will fuel inflation too.

jimjam.nyc Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 On 7/4/2024 at 5:01 PM, Rollin-on-1 said: 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. I actually asked ewheels if there were some advancements coming to the patton. Like smart BMS, etc. They basically said demand drops off quickly a few months after a model starts to sell, so LK typically doesn't offer too many big upgrades on older models. I am also a patton owner and actually love the wheel. I am not sure I want to go to a bigger 20 inch wheel. One can hope though. I think along with the battery upgrades they can make the same weight saving changes and even possibly make the wheel a little lighter. Its just a matter of if enough people will buy a new 16in patton. I am keeping an eye on this wheel though. It looks really cool. If I do want to go to a 20 inch, this may be the wheel I get. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind my asking, are you find that your Patton is significantly more stable than your V12 at speeds between 30 mph to 40 mph? It sounded like you don't feel like you are looking for more stability with your 16" Patton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 excellent addition to the lineup. I wonder if these large wheels will do away with trolley handles. how many use them instead of pushing the top of the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
