Each their own.. Tire covered by shell - great mudguard. Doh case can get damaged. Tire protrudes outwards - chance to install bigger tires and acts as protective bumper. You can look both ways. Each have a pro and a con. Doh you can always glue on some protective bumpers, if wanna.. My wheel looks like fuzzy monster. As i have glued on thick floor mat all around it - It acts as protective bumper and while sliding on ice / drooping wheel - it leave to scratch marks what so ever. Doh for my next/new wheel - will not glue anything. Aside maybe some small patches on edges. Or sides where wheel will contact the ground when dropped. At least E25 case are smooth with round edges - Very easy to DIY protective cover.. Edited September 3 by Funky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoloco Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 i can see the pros of a more covered wheel but i see more cons, and we can always put mudguards on a more exposed wheel, exposed wheels also help for wheel cleaning and is inherently lighter.

Nostris Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 2 hours ago, Funky said: That's the thing - they are using 10" rim and then use 3.5" fat tire to get the 16" wheel size.. (At least going by Falcon, A2. Or in that matter most wheels are going for fatter/wider tires as possible.) Best option is to use 12" rim and have enough space for any width tire. The user can choose to install big fat tire, or skinny one for weight savings. Yes - even KS16S used 16" wheel. And it was perfect for daily small errands. 16" wheel is overall the best. And they should not go smaller.. I have doubts that E25 will have 16" wheel. Likely a 14". When I wrote that I was thinking of a 12” rim like the V8 series.

So naturally i thought about it's wheel/tire. I just gave examples - how nowadays they get the 16" on smaller wheels. And then i mentioned KS16S, which had same design wheel/tire as V8. <3 42 minutes ago, Manoloco said: i can see the pros of a more covered wheel but i see more cons, and we can always put mudguards on a more exposed wheel, exposed wheels also help for wheel cleaning and is inherently lighter. Cleaning? I have never cleaned my wheel past 4 years?? It self cleans while riding true rain. Yeah, i also like when the tire is more visible.. Not hidden completely. But watcha gonna do.. This one has it hidden. Also you can't install some crazy knobby.. As case is the limiting factor. Or you can use dremel.

Ngl I'm definitely more of a fan of riding my wheel rather than cleaning it too, though where i am it doesn't rain much and when it does, its very subtle, so it makes muddy water rather than cleaning. very interested in seeing the weight and power of the wheel with all that has been said, that suspension is also intriguing hope its durable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkard Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I don't know why, but I quite like the looks It have space for stickers or wrap. And if it's not aimed to be a performance wheel pads will not be mandatory. Massive pads make any wheel look bad imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point i don't even care how it looks - i just want centered handle with easy to reach lift button and it to be fast enough. And if it's not much to ask - big enough tire.. At least this one will not spray mud all around it's body.. Because tire is hidden in shell. Same time Falcon looks better with it's fully open design. Remove Falcon pads and it also looks boxy awkward box wheel... The orange front bar makes it look good only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) It's supposed to be released next month right? (Mass production..) Doh looking back, V18 was supposed to be sold in July. It looks like they are ~2 months behind schedule. Edited September 5 by Funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will fail anyways. Only question would be how badly. Phoenix fire badly or some broken screws.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 On 9/3/2024 at 7:03 AM, Hellkitten said: I’m semi confused by the group ride auto sharing. Unless inmotion is adding this feature to all of their new releases, I don’t see this wheel being used on a lot of group rides. It’s a very niche wheel that not everyone will be interested in. Am I missing something? Maybe for family groups? Or perhaps Inmotion is hoping for a future where Segway tourist groups are completely banned because they are so wide and a danger on the footpath but lightweight EUCs are ok once everyone learns to ride via the e20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mten5 tire looks way smaller.. Motor alone looks half size of Falcon one. FYI: The images i used in previous post aren't 1:1 scale.. E25 can be smaller/bigger..

Yes, I’ve mentioned it in multiple posts in the mten5 thread (and have pics posted ^ 2 of which are up here grabbed and reposted by someone else) which is why I’m adamant about it being a pure street wheel.

Funky Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) Someone probably had to much free time and 3D rendered their "perfect" wheel. Or asked AI to draw Vespa EUC. This might not actually be E25. (I bet it will not look like this. It will look way worse in real life.)

Funky Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) Any updates? Anyways let's keep topic alive. Something bugs/tells me that E25 quality control will be way worse. Compared to V13 and newest V14 wheel. Yes they are somewhat great, but is it me, or Inmotion quality has gotten worse over years/recent releases?

Quick dunk in a bin full of water, followed by disassembly and checking for water ingress, or actual real tests done by second-party, that doesn't have anything to do with Inmotion?
