Who knew a damn trolly could cause such a delay.... and the end solution isn't the best which I'll get into later. It is very slick to look at in person. The padding is very soft and thick which is the perfect type of padding to use for our legs. The pedals are the same pedals used on the MCM4. Being in the US, my batteries were shipped separately so I had to open up the shell to install them myself. Well like other people have mentioned, the screws used are weak..... I broke off one of the heads of a screw by accident and I'm scared to others breaking too. I'm going to go to the hardware store and look for stronger screws but it sucks that I have to do that in the first place..... John Eucist made a post about the ACMs new 12 MOSFET design, however mine only have 6. I figured I'll get this updated design since I waited so long anyways. Now the question is, should I be concerned with having only 6 MOFETs? I really don't want to have to wait some more if it really doesn't make that big of a difference. The trolly is a unique design that requires screwing 8 holes directly into the shell. I noticed that the screws near the bottom get very close to touching the tire. I might have to get shorter screws to give me a peace of mind. Now how about the actual performance of riding this beast? I must say it is completely phenomenal how much power this guy has. It is very smooth (just like the MCM4) and it feels like nothing to be able to cruise at 18-19 mph. I'm still hesitant to go any faster but I will test that out once I'm properly padded up. But so far so good. What is not so good is that both my headlight and rear color LED lights went out simultaneously after riding for 15 minutes. I'm hoping maybe the connecting to the light came loose or something but I won't know until I open it back up. But now my entire Gotway family is complete minus the unique rare gotway models. Im very interested to know how it compares to MSuper that you have, speed, comfort, battery/ distance. For some reason I really like to look of MSuper...

The black ones look to be exactly the same as on the MCM4 and so far they have held up. Seems exactly the same to me. Perhaps my black one are not the "bad ones" that you guys were describing. That said, I have no idea why they gave me one with yinyang colors. My other ACM are both red pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha - most likely they've had two boxes of inserts with like 75 of reds and 75 of blacks so after assembling 74 wheels they've end up with one mixed pair of inserts And you've been the lucky one to receive the multi-coloured rare collectible version!

If not, then it seems like the black ones you have are the same as the MCM4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhpr262 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Oh man, that wiring looks absolultely horrific. I had been thinking about getting an ACM ... but after these pictures I think I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory the black one, if the same material as others have, will show signs of wear within very little time whereas the red one should remain perfect for months/years to come. Usually with my Ninebot, when I set off or if my feet moved gong off curbs or over cobbles, I'd shuffle my feet into the right position and after 9 months they are still perfect. Doing that on my ACM is making a right mess of the grips which is why I mostly mount holding a wall or fence so I can get my feet into position before setting off. I still have to shuffle the position from time to time while riding - possibly due to there being less grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are four eight more 16AWG coming from the other shell half + the motor cables... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time I think you should install a zipper. After opening it up last week to replace the tire, I want one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
