Oh, you want a list of the wheels that I've owned? 680wh ACM 840wh ACM 1300wh ACM 840wh MSuper 1600wh MSuper KS14C KS14S Mten3 Monster Tesla Cheapo generic, but that really doesn't count, as it's garbage. Listed like that, I can see that I need more variety. Certainly I'm deficient in the KingSong arena. And I was anticipating getting the GT16 but when the Tesla came out I went with that instead. I no longer feel that the GT16 offers me anything that I don't already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ando Melkonyan Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 67 miles.. not bad for my first weekend with the tesla. Did 28 miles with 51% battery left. I think i can get another 32 miles out of it if i put it back in soft mode and stop racing with cars The numbers dont lie Marty.

That happened to me once, somehow I had turned off the option. If you click on your name at the top right of the screen, a drop down appears. Click on account settings. Another drop down on the left side of the screen. Click on signature, a slide button should appear that says "show other peoples signatures with their content" You might not be able to see all the options on a mobile device, the screen is too small. When trying to download the ninedroid app to my phone, I had a hell of a time doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the app is lying Sorry, I'm not buying those numbers. I think your app is screwy. I've been around enough different wheels, manufacturers, types, etc. to know that they all get the same mileage, plus or minus some marginal value. A 1020wh wheel is not going to get 60+ miles under normal riding conditions. I bet 28 is actually kilometers, which would match what I would expect from 50% battery.

Bryan Wells Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I will have to agree that the other day I used my google maps to track my location and got 40 miles and had 32% left, I'm 178 lbs and I'd say it is in fact possible, but the last few miles you would deff be at tiltback levels for sure. If a rider was sub 140 lbs I'm sure it can be done. My feet just can't handle any more riding this week! Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rider's weight makes a big difference, I'm 150 pounds with riding gear. I have ridden my 520Wh Firewheel for 30+ miles on a charge several times with a bit to spare. In July we did a group ride here in DC and I rode my KS14C 680Wh for 34 miles and still had charge left. Each time I was averaging about 10-12mph while moving. So a brand new battery with a light rider could make a 60 mile run on a charge, but it would probably be super sketchy near the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience with both KS16 and ACM is the last 30% (according to the app) will provide barely 10% more miles. Example: If you go 30 miles from 100% to 30%, you will probably not make it to 34 miles (maybe if you go sslloowwllyy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meng Yang Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 14 hours ago, Ando Melkonyan said: butttt... i still believe a slightly wider tire would make the tesla better. Its got enough power and acceleration, I dont see why you would wanna go skinnier? @Meng Yang I have a feeling wider tire will make Tesla a generally better wheel. Just that I like (1) Maxxis tires, (2) the tire pattern pattern on it and (3) Dale Walker tried it on his KS and loved it; as well as hating (1) the stock Tesla tire - too many cutouts on tire surface for water channeling, (2) I hardly ride in the rain, (3) Tesla having better speed than acceleration and (4) use the stock Tesla tire to replace my aging V8 tire. Maxxis doesn't come in anything above 2", so I settled on the 1.95. No idea how it will turn out. Just give it a go and see how. Hoping this skinnier tire will help me increase range.

I have to agree with you Marty. Tesla's range depends on how much fun you want to have on the way to your destination.. about 35 miles of fun is guaranteed till the annoying beeping begins. Although I do enjoy carving left and right at slow speeds on the sidewalk.. so im still confident i can get 60 miles out of it if i wanted to.

The problem with speed on an EUC, is, the faster you go, the more time you spend scanning the road surface in front of you, looking for face plant material, and wandering nimnods. As a result, you get to see almost nothing of the landscape you're riding through. When you slow down, your scan to sightsee ratio changes dramatically. And IF you do have to disembark, it's usually a step off at worst. Of course, if you're commuting, then yes, speed it up, 'cos you've seen that view already, if there even is one. And if your speeding for speed's sake, then have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if your speeding for speed's sake, then have at it. Also true. Ive been riding around in the city for so long that i know all the humps n bumps by heart. So im usually flying by using the bike lanes doing 18-22mph. Occasionally ill get on the sidewalk and start swerving between trees and posts . The tesla is fun for pretty much any type of riding. Not to mention if you ever need a shot of adrenaline you can just take it over 25mph and see how long you can last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thrill of riding fast - to get high from the experience and to survive. I don't do it all the time but there's nothing like cruising at 25mph+ when the opportunity presents itself.

Meng Yang Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Yeah. I get a kick out of riding it at the Final Alarm. Too bad it only lasts 50 km max. By the end of it, your Final Alarm would only be at 35 km/h (20% batt) or lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Unicyclist Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 You should all come and visit me here - a few at a time though (until l get more wheels) - if you want a rush from riding, I've got some hills so steep I can't fully stop while going down them and "trails" that make Marty's look like a roll in the park... #NZrocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
