justanut Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I’m still waiting on that DarknessBot app update. Right now it connects but is unable to pull any info from the wheel. I want to have info back on my Watch.. and the ability on honk, turn on lights from the watch.. missing those functions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) The more I watch these Z10 videos the more I'm amazed at how sleek the shell is around the fat tire. Imagining that I've never seen an EUC before, I keep wondering where the heck are the batteries stashed? I've seen HOJ's tear down video, but it still amazes me how they managed to stash everything inside and still make the shell so sleek looking from the back. The off-set motor is a brilliant design feature. The front side needs some redesign as they could have made some sort of cowl for the headlamp like similar to a sports bike, but that Batman monowheel rear end with the fender off is to die for.

Popular Post houseofjob Posted August 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2018 @Hunka Hunka Burning Love FWIW, I personally don't mind the mudguard-ed back (not a fan of getting mud butt), but I get why everyone likes it off: while filming the pre-production videos, the view of the rear was the least appealing that's what she said of shots. The whole aesthetic of the Z is just on another level compared to all other EUCs right now IMHO; I feel like I'm a member of a S.W.A.T. team every-time I get off from riding this thing, like I need to swap my wardrobe for tactical gear and boots And the engineering is a whole 'nother level, especially with the offset motor housing spacing for the battery distribution. No one seems to mention this, but most EUCs are still inefficiently using the empty spacing within the motor housing, as I've learned from talking with Joey Serrin in the past. You would think they would start modifying the motor design itself now (kind of how Apple started making their own iPhone processor chips), but sadly, cost is probably prohibitive still for our favorite top brand mom & pop EUC co's. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ninebot is the beginning of a trend. Can you imagine extended range versions of the MSX, with batteries packed into the motor housing? I bet we'll start seeing this with Gotway before anyone else (just because of the high churn rate coming out of Gotway's factory). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet we'll start seeing this with Gotway before anyone else (just because of the high churn rate coming out of Gotway's factory). Hope so, but super prohibitive still, I would imagine. Certainly Gotway has been a trailblazer for many new aspects of EUC of late, but a Gotway starting to build their own motors in-house would certainly have a rough start in the beginning, seeing all the issues they've had with building their own batteries in-house initially. I might have to skip those initial Gotway-built motor models, wait for maturity Edited August 28, 2018 by houseofjob 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this happen under my feet several times with my Rockwheel GT16 when taking sharp bumps at the right speed/weight. It always stopped after a few seconds. It like the software that reads the gyro and corrects the stance goes into some kind of oscillation loop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to look inside. I looked at all of the YouTube comments. Unless I'm missing something, nowhere does the author say that this only happens at zero speed. He actually implies that it happens whenever he hits a bump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
