Real question, why so late if they announced it now and it seems to be done! I have yet to have a Winter experience. Aside from bundling up and going slower, I can expect a similar ride. Sidewalks are cleared often in the city, although ice conditions are a concern. Why later? Must be production. ➰ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Only thing I'm worried about in Winter is road salt (and hard ice, of course). Riding on snow is wonderfully easy, snow has a lot of grip. Wonder why production takes so long to ramp up, if they already have production lines fo the Mini variants.

I think they have a hit with the Z series, given the brand, the enhancements, the choices, and pricing. Competition would be hampered or diminished. Also an emerging market will increase sales. It also helps to build up anticipation. It's a strategy that's worked well for Apple and Samsung. The Z future looks promising and exciting. ➰ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there that much clearance in the shell that the bigger tire just fits in, or did you have to modify the shell? (2.5" wheel in a KS-16S) No, not enough room. Had to both hacksaw the shell for width, and bolt the shell higher at the motor arms for height. I'm writing reviews on this and other mods, I'm just taking my time... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FreeRide Posted September 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2017 That is one problem with riding in grass, there are plenty of holes, ridges, and troughs that get covered. The guy rushing over in the last video, I think the wheel may have had a problem, but that was definitely rider error or just accident on the stairs. If we have to wait so long to see a real one tested in the real world by a real customer, I'm glad they are releasing the behind the scenes footage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks for the video postings. But I sure hope their testing is more systematical and stressing than what we see there (aka tiny Chinese on tiny hill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool that somebody is posting these "behind the scenes" videos, if that's what they are. @Marty Backe is correct. The speed test video seems like their first attempt reaching 40 km/h already, which made they kinda a little bit surprised since the rider didn't put much effort. Second attempt trying to get to 45 km/h but failed. Could be because of the distance or those pedestrians around the path. The field test video was totally about the rider getting bumped down from the wheel unintentionally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US69 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 i said it before and again: this tire wont give you much fun in the "wild" , as it is much to bumpy and wide...the second video shows that perfect...my guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole second clip was clumsy and not very useful, other than as a blooper or outtake. Some of the bounciness could be reduced by increasing tyre pressure and better technique. Besides, I'm hoping for a field test by @Marty Backe and crew into Chino Hills and the San Gabriel Mountains before passing judgment on real off-road performance.
