^tom^ Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yesterday I got my GotWay 14" V2 340wh Compare to my Rockwheel the GotWay it is very soft (even in the highest setting that I have to use, otherwise I whould flip over) (Rockwheel is very very agressive), but the GotWay is very powerfull too. More a powerfull limo then a KTM cross maschine. AND it is so quiet......almost nothing to hear exept the sound of the tire rolling on the street. I love it so far but I have to get used to it! I am still a beginner and have my first wheel since end of december 2014, but drive daily about 2 hours to practice. At the moment I can not turn a right turn with the GW and I do not have any idea why not. The GW has a very good electronic (so far what I found out) to shut down the wheel! It will turn off first the spinnig wheel and after some more pieps it shut the hole machine off. To climb doesn't seem a problem for this wheel. So I will drive the Rockwheel more offroad and the GotWay as a streetmaschine. My review will be continued as soon I have more practice Drive carefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Clegg Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm very surprised that you find GW14 soft. I recently tried a GW14 after only riding SW and found it unpleasantly/unnaturally "firm". I guess the RW is even more firm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eucist Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Well new out of the box the gw14 is set to soft setting which is pretty soft. Only if you manually set it to "Madden Mode" via the app does it get "firm". Rockwheels are super duper stiff. It's always in upright position.

GQS Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I hear nothing is as firm a ride as the Rockway geared wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I hear nothing is as firm a ride as the Rockway geared wheels. The GW14 even in the "Madden Mode" is not as firm as the Rockway 12". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GQS Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 No, from what I hear reported, the Rockway 12 would be equilivent to a Gotway 14's 3xMadden mode. So the RW is supposed to be even much more aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eucist Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 RW12 is "constantly upright". It's like super super duper madden mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 continuation: I would say the GW14 is a allrounder and can be used for all terain. There was never any problem with it so far (over 100km on all terain I did with it). I can drive a distance about 15 to 20km with it befor running out of juice. It is not too big and not too heavy to handle during driving it or to carry it in a office or so. Because of the size and the weight, with the GW18 I was not comfortable driving it offroad. I do not think there are many better wheels for this price, there probably is'nt even one which is better! It is comfortable to drive at any speed between 4 and 20kph. For short moments faster is no problem even if it gets a litte unstable. GW does not raise there pedals if you are speeding, which what I like.

Sam Clegg Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm wondering if you found GW14 painful on the inside leg? I found the combination of lowness (compared to 16" solowheel), wideness, and sharpness of of the edge combine to make it quite uncomfortable (compared to solowheel, Gw10 and Gw18 anyway). I've only ridden someone elses so far that didn't have any extra padding, but I guess the right padding could help (a least with the sharpness issue).

^tom^ Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Not at all! Where did you find a sharp edge? Maybe it was not a GW? I do not use any padding and if something starts to hurt...it is comming from the pedals. Check you leg lenght too if you have problems ony on one side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StridAst Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Speaking of the pads, does anyone know if replacement pads are available for the gotway 14? Specifically pads that are not red? I also don't find the need for more cushion on my gotway. It would have been more painful to learn on for sure, but having learned, its just fine the way it is. I just don't like red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eucist Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 As far as I know it's the only color. Just stick some other colored thin pads on it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorents Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hello,Received my GW14 last week and I am enjoying it immensely!As the manual is written in Chinese there are a couple things that I am trying to figure out:Is the motor geared like the Rockwheel? It is so quiet and smooth that I can't imagine that it is geared How do the speed warning beeps work on the GW14? From the app it seems like there are two warnings going off at different speeds. If I turn off the first alarm there will still be another one before face planting right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorents Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Found the info for the speed alarms:Once speed reaches 20 km/h, one beep per secondOnce speed reaches 23 km/h, 2 beeps per secondOnce speed reaches 25 km/h, 3 beeps per secondDisabled the first one, so two more to go before face plant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I think you'll find that the first warning is 2 beeps then 3 beeps and finally 4 beeps/second which sounds like a continuous beep, beep, beep, beep with no long gaps between each series of beeps.

Gimlet Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 @StridAst I removed the red pads and used the 3M double sided tape to stick knee pads to each side of mine.Much better looking in my opinion and it makes single leg work and mounting/dismounting much more comfortable.

Gimlet Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Having used them for a while now I can report that they are very comfortable on my MCM2S and my two M10v2's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
