MetricUSA Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Has anyone bought the type 3 (high torque) gotway 18? From what I seen so far are only type 1 & 2 are bought and reviewed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 What is type 3? Do you mean the high torque/mid/high speed -versions? I think at least Gimlet has the high torque -model, vee73 has the high speed model (^tom^ might have one too?) and at least recall seeing someone mentioning having the mid-version...

^tom^ Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have the type2 (MS) middle speed version, but very happy with it....runs regular hills better then any wheel almost at my 20km/h driving speed until gets overheated board!(the ramp test only the Rockwheel GR12 completed 100%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Extreme Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm not quite sure what their latest version is but, I should have the latest version of the high-speed circuit board, and it has failed. It is dangerous because the drive torque is not much at all. I can not recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 @vee73 I don't think you are really being fair to the M18 as you do have the high speed low torque version of the wheel and you are taking it into extreme terrain at very high speeds.As I've written before, for that kind of terrain the high torque low speed version would be more suited, though I am aware it wouldn't be fast enough for your needs.What you are doing is amazing, but it's a bit like taking a formula one car onto a Land Rover test track. Most people who buy the high speed version will be content to stick to the smooth metalled tracks and paths that 99% of people ride on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Extreme Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 But it did not work at all. Not even in ordinary driving. It was a complete fiasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorents Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 But it did not work at all. Not even in ordinary driving. It was a complete fiasco.You are talking about the modified motherboard that you got for your extreme GW18 version right?Hope you will be back riding soon Vee!

EUC Extreme Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Such uphills are 18 speed and 14 "go easy. With the latest circuit board, they were forced to leading the hills. There is no hope of that, have sprung up, or that it would even get into circulation in the uphills. Any cheapo anonymous EUC would be an appropriate benchmark.When subject to increased speed, quite ordinary uphills were threatening to rise when it did not manage to keep themselves afloat.The usual city driving was dangerous, and off-road use could not even imagined.I had a printed circuit board is not in any changes that would affect the torque.

Luiz Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Have you ever had any failures . If yes , could you describe the situation when it happened . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I followed behind my son when he was testing the top speed on it.He got it to the constant 4 beep per second warning and then pushed it faster but I have a feeling he tried to increase the speed too suddenly as the failure was instant and I'm fairly sure it could have gone a few kph faster if he'd increased it gently.He was expecting the failure so he managed to stay on his feet complete with the M18 attached to his belt leash.

Gaston Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'm the nightmare for a EU manufacturer, as I'm 100+ kg. I managed to drive a MSuper v2 (new main board) with the big battery. It was possible to drive it on a nice mixed trip. Some trails, road, long heavy up and downhill slopes. I pushed it uphill with no problem at all. I didn't drove it full speed but we cruised at 20 km/h per hour and it felt very stable. On the slopes I let the Firewheels, Ninebots (lightweight drivers, or max. 90 kg) in behind very easy - pushed it and go beside and ahead.If you follow the torque discussions is useless to talk of stability on high speeds as torque drops down and you've not enough torque for balancing. I'm happy with 20 km/h as max. speed.On the next trip I've to read some measures while driving with my Samsung Galaxy connected. Need first to figure out which kind of version I need to use with thith Bluetooth stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I ordered an Msuper from Yorkshire Airwheels today. I like the way they advertise in their site with clear and precise information and they have been very helpful.Finaly there is a gotway Uk reseller and local support . I Wish you good luck guys.I am looking forward to compare the Msuper with my IPS 121. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luiz Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Received the msuper yesterday and rode 2 hours with it ( only stoped because was geting dark ) . Very quick delivery and the wheel is evething i wanted and more . Thanks for the exelent service on yorkshire airwheels. I worried that 18 in could be too big but is perfect . It feels a lot like the 121 but faster and even more stable offroad . Definetly 18 in is the size for me.Still had 3 lights on the battery in the end.?

Gimlet Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I see you're using the Site knee pads from Screwfix Luiz. To be honest I don't really find the need for padding on the M18 as it's so flat and high anyway, plus it's already fairly wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luiz Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi Gimlet , I tried without the pads but i prefer to use them because in long rides i squeeze them to take some presure of the feet. Also i got used to ride with them on the 121 and i love this pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luiz Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I noted that my m super LS HT version goes till 43 km/h on the app before stoping on the lift test in my apartment . Is this normal or have i got the MS version instead.this wheel is insanely fast . I do not dare to pass 25 km/h though . I have set the alarm to 25 km/h and the vibration to 20 km/h in the madden mode. How do you set yours if i may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 If you use the search term "lift test" you'll find all the info that was previously gleened on the 3 versions but this is the conclusion that John came to:"Well there you have it. Complete tests for all three versions (final alarm / motor cut)Fast 39/48Middle 32/40Slow 29/34"So it sounds to me like you may have the middle version.

Luiz Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Made several lift tests in the msuper and these are the alarm and motor cut speeds. These mesurements were from the app so i think this is the MS version not LS HT version. Are the app mesurements in a lift test reliable?2 beeps at 23k/h3 beeps at 25k/h4 beeps at 35k/hMotor cut 43k/h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I doubt that any two eucs are going to be absolutely the same and 3kph isn't that far out. Cetainly closer to middle than fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luiz Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Are the speeds that you have got in yours from the gotway app ? What is the max real speed you can do on your msuper? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Yes they are app speeds not true speeds so about 3kph fast apparantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
