I wonder, could it be that only the wheels shipping to the United States have a top speed of 28-mph? Because I weigh more than you and I can reach 28-mph without difficulty.

I ride with low pressure, 20psi... It 'could' be it. The wheel is from AliExpress so I would be surprised if it was a throttled version. I will update the firmware on friday, need to hae access to a phone that can connect to it

That's very interesting, and surprising, maybe. I guess the Z10 really is monitoring the motor load to determine its maximum speed.

When you look at the main app display, does it still say that the top speed is a bit over 28-mph at 100-percent battery?

I'll check into that and let you know. 

I wanna test this new battery firmware update.  Maybe it'll allow more current ?

I recon you haven’t ridden the Z nor read all the comments on this forum.

I haven't personally, busy with work atm, my Z10 arrives next week. We had an open test event with Z recently, many riders tried it, some took it for long test after, and everyone equally struggled with the wheel. For example, KS18L testing was completely opposite.

I wonder why there's such difference in reviews here and there. There's no need in fanboying or convincing youself about anything.

I just checked it:

1. Some good news about the battery update: almost sure it gave more juice to the wheel.  After a speed test, a 1 mph (top speed before tilt back) gain was noticed;

2. Yes, the app says I could go a little over 28 mph, but that doesn't happen!  Tilt back kicks at 26 mph and speed is reduced to 23 mph.  In another words, top cruising speed is, now, a little over 25 mph.

All experienced riders noted that Z10 requires getting used to, while offering nothing in return, and wide tubeless tire with road-only protector adds pain and no gain.

I disagree with that statement. I only have about 2000 miles combined riding on my One S1, 14S, and the One Z10, but here are my reasons why I think the One Z has plenty to offer.

The slow speed agility is better than any of my other wheels. It can perform 360s and figure 8s without any effort on very tight spaces. It can also go at walking speed without having to twist your body around for balance. I think this is a big advantage to anyone that’s just learning to ride. 

High speed stability on rough roads is a lot better than my other wheels. The One Z tends to just roll over bumps and potholes without being fazed.

Well engineered machine. There’s a lot of thoughts put into making the One Z. From the aluminum cladded PCB for better heat dissipation, to placing the battery pack inside the wheel/motor cavity to keep the top and bottom weight distribution almost the same.

Aesthetic is another offering the One Z has. I think everyone agrees that the One Z is just a beautiful wheel.

Top speed is the same for the U.S. 1.0.2 and Chinese 1.0.0. You can push them pass 30+ mph for a second or so, just respect the beep and watch out for the cutout. No load top speed just before cutout is 38 mph

Unfortunately, if you're 205 pounds and use 26 PSI in your Z10, tilt back is at 26 mph

With about 100 km/week on 7 different wheels of 4 major brands for over 2 years now I consider myself a rather experienced rider and I agree with the first part of your statement, but I assure you and all the other experienced riders you are speaking for, the Z10 has a lot to offer in return. And it sounds like you are bound to find out yourself, so no need to further argue. ?

that’s what i was looking for in this wheel. being able to wobble thru my pastures at a slow speed. faster, like a boat skipping off chop is easier to stay upright, until u hit hit that wave or dip/bump and go airborne. instead of skipping over my bumps, i need to slowly crawl thru them, all the while with Bob next to me on a leash.

I think it takes some time for this wheel to click, For me, the first 100 km was very strange, but now it feels super good, both on road and gravel. I am riding with 20psi, and are considering trying lower (and higher again)

For me the Z10 is super exiting, main problem is light that is lighting the trees, and the Bluetooth connection that need a 'fast phone'... but the riding is nice, but takes km to get used to, but it gets better everytime, and when you lean it, you can actually relax more because you can stomp on the pedals sidewards, do squats etc while driving without the wheel changing direction

Ok does anyone have any good ideas on locking down the Z10 to prevent theft? Or is bicycle chain through the hands the best way?

I just wish it had an electric lock or something that can only be unlocked with a paired phone. Blast a loud alarm if forcibly carried off or something.. Doubt anyone could run fast with this bugger..

I think there's a locking option on the app, you just have to touch on the lock.

Hey, enjoyed the video... not you busting your ass but I like seeing the Z being used for what I consider it was designed for... off road, which is what I bought one for... hopefully I can avoid biting the dust but probably not...

I hope you are OK and didn’t hurt yourself.

Could you please explain a bit more about the circumstances of this fall (fail?). Was it a cutout of the wheel? Why do you think this happened?

There are tires with 18"/4" available but I am not sure they fit the rim 

As with all EUC tires, the measurement standard is different to that of a motorcycle: An 18” EUC/bicycle has a 14” rim, while an 18” motorcycle tire goes on an 18” rim.

arriving at the point I stop, I hold the wheel with the control leg, and I keep it with the foot pulling because there was a slight backward slope, the wheel is supported on some stones but they end up detaching from the ground, which causes the wheel turns in the air at high speed and when it finally tractionnig again it shoots forward and run over me
