yourtoys7 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I pushed the wheel a little (I think)... but was able to hit 47 km/h WOW... what was surprising is how effortless this machine can be pushed :)) Seriously, unbelievable, comparing to ACM that I did hit 40 km/h. Msuper felt, firmer, more stable, safer. ACM is an amazing machine, but cruising/ commuting, Msuper is the boss Alarm 1, 2 disabled, tilt back/ disabled, I did not hear 80% warning... = It can be pushed more :))....

Marty Backe Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I noticed how much faster my 84v ACM was over the older ACM. I'm sure the newer MSuper is the same, so I can imagine how your MSuper can feel even better at speed. I didn't know that you were into pushing the limits. Be wary about going too fast. I've never gone beyond 40 on my ACM or Monster - worried about potential consequences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 80% warning is only for the batteries!!!!! Not the motor. And the motor does something at 50 km/h so be careful. I think at 50 it spins up to 65 where it switches off. Not sure how that would work out in practice, would it slow down once the spin up pushes your weight/the wheel's balance back, or it just spins blindly until switch off.

Goodman Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I have only taken it over 40kmh once and even tough it felt stable I still feel uncomfortable at those speeds and I was wearing full motorcycle safety gear. I don't recommend you pushing it any further better safe than sorry. We have the same wheel and I get that feeling of wanting to push it also, cruising at 20-25kmh on this wheel feels slow but above 40 is just crazy on a single wheel with the current design technology.

Usually Im at 30-35 km/h, this time just felt like i could push it for test sort of...... Not sure if/ when I'd do it again. Helmet, gloves, elbows/ knee pads.

Carlos E Rodriguez Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Understand the limit and stay 20% below that for margin. It's not worth it taking a spill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanghamP Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Last time on my MSuper 3 1600 I was averaging 19mph and it felt slow, and on my Inmotion I was averaging 9.5mph and it felt fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msuper felt, firmer, more stable, safer. ACM is an amazing machine, but cruising/ commuting, Msuper is the boss Are you using GPS measured speed or data from the EUC? Sorry, I assume it's a known app I should be familiar with, but I'm not. When I use a GPS tracker on my rides, it tends to exaggerate my max speed and I've learned not to trust it too much. Could just be a flaw in the app I've been using, but I did wonder if the 47 km/hr is exaggerated a bit. I'm not trying to throw water on your accomplishment! It just seems like, taken at face value, you'd be pushing the very top speed the wheel has to give, so I'm surprised to hear it felt like there was so much power still in reserve.

I've seen the same thing with my GPS devices. I only trust what the wheel reports, and then you have to calibrate the wheel recordings. My MSuper and Monster report speeds/ranges that are ~10% too fast/far. My ACM is right on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourtoys7 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 funny thing is, I trust gps app better, GW app says 51km/h, cant be that good, hmm... Ive tested this app. with my wife driving behind us, it is as good as it gets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive tested this app. with my wife driving behind us, it is as good as it gets... That's consistent with my observations - your GW app is about 10% faster than reality. Still, GPS can be iffy because it's based upon indirect measurements which are translated into speed. The wheel reports speed based on a direct RPM measurement. But in your case you must have a good phone and good GPS visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Persona Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Felt very smooth and stable , just scared the hell out of me when it beeped at me .Only had it beep at me before once at 32.3 mph with first and second alarms off and immediatlely slowed down , but it felt like there was more left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though, no matter how good the app, GPS accuracy is also state-dependent--at any given time, satellite signal interference or maybe even the processor/RAM load on your phone can degrade it. I trust average speed ratings fine (the measurement errors balance out over time), but I'm naturally skeptical of instant speed ratings. I'm not advocating that you repeat a dangerous experiment () but seeing a particular speed rating reliably in different settings and times of day increases confidence a bit. 8 hours ago, Steve Persona said: Just thought I would share this!!! Look at the top speed. This was on 1600 Monster Congrats! (for surviving too! ) On a separate note, this isn't the first time I've seen what looks like crazy low voltage readings on GW wheels. Are they designed to run (safely) with such low voltage? My KS-14C practically shuts down if I try to ride it below around 55 V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My KS-14C practically shuts down if I try to ride it below around 55 V. FYI, he's using the Wheellog app which is not GPS based. It displays telemetry provided by the wheel itself. Gotway speeds are always ~10% too fast, so his actual speed was sub-30mph - but still damn fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos E Rodriguez Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This video shows clearly that at 47kph you are 3 kph from death. you can see the wheel executing a tiltback acceleration and shutting down around 50kph. According to the translation, it said it is a no load test. So consider yourself lucky! http://cafe.naver.com/gev010/18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Above page does not load for me. On youtube you can find electro-sport.de test. Msuper v3s+ gave up at: 1. 67km/h without load 2. 63km/h with 75kg load Question is whether load test takes air resistance and other factors into consideration.

You can not use the top speed of the tilt back. 60ish speeds are already when the wheel does the tilt back and that is basically too late. On the 75kg loaded you can see that around 40ish the wheel suddenly accelerates. that acceleration point is when the last tilt back takes effect and should be your last warning that something bad is about to happen in the next 2 seconds.
