Donafello Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 what I noticed was when looking down on my msuper pedals the top edge was more recessed then the rear edge. When i ride I usually put my feet rigth up against the unit and then the tips I turn outwards a little. So flipping the pedals was a good move for me. I'm not sure what happened but it just feels like I have so much better control of the unit when swapping them. I'm in love with this beast of a machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlymex Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I felt the same thing, but I added pedal extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't loved any machine I've owned (even guitars) as much as that MSV3 - it is a proper beast of a wheel In fact I'm going to stop typing about it and go and get on it while I still have some daylight...

My V2 pedals are bigger on which I noticed instantly, but I must admit after swicthing it I dont think I need to do anything else. I'm a size 11 foot and even though it hangs over the edge in the front and back it feels great. Also the grip tape I a huge plus as in wet weather i almost flew off my wheel after hitting a bump and feet almost sliding off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im really curious why you did that The three nuts on the left side of the photo is for fastening the Anti-slip nail. I'm about to add three on the front side as well. The three screws on the right side of the photo is for attach the added metal piece to the pedal. I'm about to add one more on the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUCMania Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I confirm that switching pedals on MS3 increases the hill climbing ability. But it is still not enough for me to push hard to climb a hill my NB1E+ can do. I will turn on my wheelLog to record the current next time. We should keep in mind that make pedal longer in the front increases the torque you can apply to the wheel. Hence you should decrease your max speed.

Not on the pedal itself but in the middle of the petal you have 3 screws that go into the piece that the rod go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve454 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Someone should do a poll of how many people prefer toes straight ahead and toes pointed out. Would be interesting to see. I have started pointing toes outward a little more and feel a little more control and comfort. My feet are size 13, and am still thinking of adding pedal extensions, like @zlymex but I'm a little lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are those for??? Those 3 stainless screws are for pedals to swing up. I need this in order to press my legs firmly on the wheel for stunt ride and cross-country ride. Also, it give more clearance from the ground allow me to turn sharply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Spalding Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 As most of you know we have lost 18 1/2 hours of the forum so let's talk about this pedal switch again. I walk like a duck... Like my father... Even my 22-year-old daughter has inherited some of that as well, much to her chagrin my point is I believe this pedal switch will help me because of the way my feet naturally point and I believe I will be making this alteration on my MSuper thanks so much for pointing this out to us... It is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlymex Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Actually, V2 distinguish front and rear by tire, and the pedals of V2 are rear recessed. Most of us riide V2 backward because the pedals looks more streamlined this way. I actuallly added the extensions of my V2 to the rear but I use them as front.

Thats what I have and I love it;) I have a couple questions for you. Did you cut thepadding that came original on the v3 1- do the pedals make a big difference extended? 2- What is your range on a full charge?
