Gimlet Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 There are two different tubeless tyres used on the Mten2. I have one of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GQS Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Sam C from SF provided the following weight breakdown of the mten2 after it broke down and he took it apart. Much appreciated.http://electricunicycle.wikia.com/wiki/MtenBreakdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilmann Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I am afraid, we have to accept that production of the Mten stopped about August 2015. Sniff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Glad I've got two! I'll have to take extra special care of them now I can't get replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Does the M10 ride firmer than the MCM2s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Feels about the same as far as the lean it allows before correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castShadow Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I want a gearless one to go along with my geared v1 - but I think I'll hold out for v3 of Mten or v2 of M0-8inch maybe in 6 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimlet Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 No they are the same as tubeless car tyres. The tyre itself seals tightly to the rim and the seperate valve is pulled tightly into the hole in the wheel rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dranreb Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Gimlet, is there a difference between the two (Type2 vs Type3 tire)? Mine is the same as the one on the left. Do you have an issue when riding it and trying to turn left but the wheel wants to go right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheel is off centre if you measure from the wheel rim each side to the pedals so that could be causing your problem. You could check by riding it the other way around to see if you turn the other way. The internals can be fitted either way around and my two are built differentry so that one has the wheel offset left and the other is offset to the right and to be honest it makes no noticable difference to me.

Mine pulls to the right due to tire tread. @dranreb I'd like to try out your men with those tires. Gotway no longer carries those tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GQS Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 With the padding, you can manage to compensate for any directional tendencies through your foot placement and shin pressure. But switching from the msuper to the mten always trips me up due to the significant difference in handling and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
