Lukasz Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I just have received KS16S last Friday. It is great wheel! I have around 4-5k km experience total, 2k km on Ninebot OneE+ anbd 2-3k km on KS16, and I have to admit that although KS16S has the same plastic body as KS16 - changes are really important and it was worth to get it for sure! (I will comment that in the separate KS16-KS16S comparison thread) This wheel seems to be almost perfect, in fact I think that it is one class higher than KS16 in all aspects - torque, speed, smooth ride as butter, range, less noise, and many more. The only thing to take care of is the modification of the pedal springs, as this is in my opinion the only drawback, however this is quite easy mod to do. Please find below how to do it step by step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christoph Zens Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 As a 'first aid', until I may actually take on this mod, I used a little WD-40. It already helped a lot to fold the pedals up with much less effort (can now be done 'by foot') which wasn't even possible before. Just mentioning for others which would like to have this ultimate solution but can't do it at the moment, like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mentioning for others which would like to have this ultimate solution but can't do it at the moment, like myself. WD-40 and duct tape, the ultimate engineering tools My pedals have loosened up a bit, at first it was hard to get them to fold open/closed, now not so much, but probably should take a look there too. I have a bunch of neodymium magnets, but they're small, so might not be powerful enough for the pedals. Heading out for a ride tonight, so maybe I'll also try to calibrate the pedals to be tilted back a bit on "zero-position" and see if it helps with acceleration and braking on steep hills, like explained in the other thread.

Lukasz Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 In the KS16 I have used 14 mm magnets with 3 mm hole - slightly weak, but if You can use two of them side by side - it should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, The after video is impressive !. would you mind to share your drawings ?, I would love to get it printed in 3D. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 KS16S spacer attached, it was designed to fit 20x5mm round neodymium magnet inside. Print two pcs, double sided tape works good enough to to keep it in place on the side of the wheel. KS16S magnetic pedals side spacer.stl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munsense Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 If you can't print the spacer, a self-adhesive furniture protection square works well too. It's durable, gives good cushioning, sticks firmly around the magnet and looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munsense Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 These are the things in the packaging. The round ones would work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
