Jason McNeil Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 There's a lot of people who don't have the inclination to learn to ride the single Wheel; the Inmotion V3S is a pretty good fit for people who have whetted their appetite with the Hoverboard & want something more. The V3S is a is the version of the V3 that has double the battery pack (40 cells vs 20 in the V3C & V3Pro). The only grip from Customers who have used it for some time, is that they wish it could go a little faster. I mentioned this to Inmotion & the same day they responded by offering a test version of the firmware that allows the V3S (only) to reach the dizzying speeds of 20kph. The lift test reaches 32kph, so there's plenty of power/speed margin left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garin the engineer Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Great news, could you please share this firmware, I also want to speed up my V3s. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prometey86 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Сould you send me the firmware in my mailbox? (ikarvip@gmail.com) But it's probably a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 150% lift off speed seems like a proper buffer, I think IPS wheels have that too. My gf gave up on the v5f+ it was too hard for her so the v3s may be an option. Not to detrail the thread but I now wonder if the promised speed upgrade is on the way for my v5f+, so far the tilt free cruise speed is about 22-23 km/h, it would be perfect at 25 km/h. Edit: Oh this is an old thread.. still @Jason McNeilwhen can we expect an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Ok, for the V3S, please download the below speed change .apk App. 1) Upgrade to the latest firmware if you haven't already 2) Disconnect from the Inmotion App 3) After installing, click search, find the V3S, connect, then move the slider to 20kph http://images.ewheels.com/V3S_SC.apk Notes: the upgrade is designed for the V3S since it has double the battery capacity & it is not 'Official' so standard disclaimers please (wear protection, be careful, considerate, etc)... Still working on the 2kph increase on the V5F+, hope to have an update soon... Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks Jason I'm looking forward to the upgrade, I never push the tiltback and 25 km/h cruising speed will be great for commuting! I tried to test the max speed by lifting the wheel while turned on, it quickly maxed out and shut down, I could not do it slow by hand. Anyway it seemed to max out around 40 km/h for a moment before shutting down. Is this where the 27 km/h number comes from? 27 x 1.5 is about 40... But the v5f+ has 30% stronger batteries compared the the v5f (non plus) it should be able to handle more than 2 km/h extra then? Current max tiltback free cruise speed is 23 km/h, adding 30% gives 23 x 1.3 = 30 km/h. It should then tilt back at 31-32 and max at about 33 km/h. But maybe that is too much? Safety first definitely though, 25 km/h already feels fast on this 14" wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 @nomad true, but the cut-out no-load speed is not indicative of the potential toque of the system at a particular speed, just what the controller is programmed to do. 27kph just might be more achievable, with a larger safety margin, than 30kph.
