I ask because even double-sided gorilla tape seems completely unable to stick to my 1600. I've seen others do it but I've never used any protective padding at all.

LanghamP Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 It was this review that convinced me I should have an Msuper in my stable. I said screw it about waiting for padding this machine, took it out onto my local street, and punched it up to the third and final warning. No helmet, no gloves, no protection at all on me or the wheel, no problem. Stable like the Titanic, and probably just as likely to fail on her maiden voyage. At nearly 30 mph that's a damn sight faster I ever did on a bicycle. Basically I did a Tishawn. It was then, with the wind watering my eyes, that the wheel's name appeared to me. "Thanatos". (My other wheel's name is Cindy). I'm putting Thanatos away for a couple of weeks. Too bloody dangerous by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their answer was an unequivocal NO! Their explanation was that the triggering algorithm is tuned for the acceleration forces in a bike accident and that they are very specific. They want to be 100% sure it inflates in such an accident, and 100% sure it doesn't if there is none... The forces in play on a EUC are a bit alike, but at the same time subtly different, so the helmet may trigger, but it may also let your head do an imitation of a dropped watermelon – and if the people you leave behind try to make an issue of it, they will kindly point out that it is a bicycle-helmet. Just so you know. I checked it, because I was tempted to go for a Hövding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trey Lewis Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Man, I am dying to get a V3 but I am still too concerned about factory issues. Really hoping Gotway releases a batch that goes a few months without a single issue (I can dream, right?). I LOVE my ACM+ but there are some offroad areas and some very specific things that I believe I would enjoy more on the V3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterPrime Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I have a question about the v3 as i have been eyeing one up now for a while now but I am also open to suggestions about other wheels too that anyone could recommend but i live in manchester so rain is pretty much a daily occurrence so i am curious to how it deals with water as i pretty much need it to be water tight with how much it rains, I have been alright so far on my ips 191 but i know the water has got in more than I would like and had to remove some of the leds because of corrosion so if anyone has has a v3 open or knows how it handles the wet and the dirt it would be a great help thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure its by default on wheels produced by gotway after they rolled it out for resellers. I havent heard about any problems at all with the msuper v3s+ after the firmware was rolled out.

I slow down even if the street look uneven! No headphones no music my eyes are glued to the ground most of the time. I can't describe the feeling but it's an hydrenalin rush being in traffic like that! Knock on wood no face plants since the Ninebot days..... No headphones/music?! I couldn't do that!
