meepmeepmayer Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Brand new ACM? Sweet. What's the backstory, I forgot (if I ever knew)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kour Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 yes! it's a 1600wh from @Jason McNeil - at the time i bought it the price was slashed, and i wanted a backup (maybe just another? ) wheel that was a little smaller and with more juice. my other, first wheel, is an msuper v3 (820wh). the story on the msuper is it got smashed when i was learning and i duct-taped it up to cover some gaps in the casing. i haven't had any problems with it, though - that thing is tough! i'm stoked for the acm - i still have to let it charge more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you will like the ACM its a great wheel. You will def notice a difference in maneuverability and stability and acceleration, a different feel from the MSuper but not in a bad way. Enjoy Sir. I'll check it out next time we ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kour Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 @Acturbo thanks man! dude, this thing is a beast! yes, very different - most noticeably, for me, is trying to get on it! i'm so used to having that nice, reassuring msuper support around mid-calf.. the first time i tried to mount (this morning) i kicked up the left pedal and slashed my right ankle.. not serious but it bled a lot. fortunately i was able to grab in time, so no damage to the unit. i just rode around my neighborhood for about 20 mins, first impressions: -headlight is WAAAY brighter than on my msuper 820 -maneuverability seems... twitchier. noticeable especially when re-positioning a foot. at the same it implies a quicker response -i read your account of the squeaky noise and your subsequent tire rotations (sic) - that occurred a couple of times for me. i noticed it once at around 24 kph so i got back to that speed but it didn't happen again. it occurred again at a much slower speed, but only lasted a second. im not sure what it could be. i have the psi at ~45, maybe a little less.. maybe it's from certain pressures on the shell causing it to make brief contact with the tire? at any rate, the ride was smooth as butter and i ended up going really fast without realizing it! -the latest gotway app... it would connect to the acm... sometimes. and when it did, i wasn't able to access the alarm etc. controls. today i downloaded the barebones, non-social app and it works like a charm! thank you @Marty Backe! big reps how is the msuper treatin' ya, @Acturbo?

kour Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 @kasenutty it was a little less than what he has now - it was sitting on his site @ 1480 for weeks... gnawing at my soul! i think at the time people were a little spooked by all things gotway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was on my list of things to get done! Now I cannot get a massage. I scraped shin trying to do a 180 and had to step off and the pedal hit me. It's bad manners to get a massage with broken skin.

I like the both the MSuper and the ACM, they both have their places in my collection. MSuper when I want to go long distances with higher speed and more stability and the ACM is great for around town and maneuverability. I find myself flying on both of them because they both feel like they have gobs of power. Hopefully that scraping noise will go away. After I changed my tire I have not had a problem. It was more of an annoyance than anything and gave me a feeling that something was going to break. Not a big fan of hearing crunching noises while riding. Anyways enjoy the ACM it's def fun. Have not decided whether or not to bring it on a group ride since the Super is a 1600 and ACM a 1300. With rapid charger I guess it won't matter. See you on the next ride...................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I cannot get a massage. I scraped my knee and holy shit I don't want to burden her wit that. hey, if she's cool with doing it on some butcher paper i don't mind also, i'll add and therefore negate the humorous tone of my first line, since i'm not entirely sure what to make of your response... i don't have a car. it was totaled by some dude driving on a revoked license (for previous dui) who didn't understand traffic signals, in his wife's car - although he told the officers at the scene that it was his sister's car, initially (more lies were to follow... he also didn't show up to court). i had that car (hyundai sonata 2001) for 10 years and was fortunate enough to have been able to buy it for $1.00 from my estranged father. after that incident, i came to the conclusion that a mix of public transportation and wheeling would be the most economical and, more importantly, FUN solution... for me, that is.. ain't no life of privilege for this cat mister!

When do you guys do group rides? I will be in DC in a week for a few days, won't have a wheel, but maybe I'd stop by and see some wheelers. I have to go out there because my wife is a lawyer and she's getting her DC Bar card for some reason or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmethvin Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'm moving to a new house over the next few weeks so I won't have a lot of free time. However, I'm moving to Silver Spring which means in the long term I'll be able to ride more in DC and vicinity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
