I have to agree with what everyone else has been saying about the Tesla ride quality. It's hard to describe in quantifiable terms (better than the heading of this post ). It is an extremely smooth and controlled experience. I like to carve a lot, and it's funner on this wheel than any other wheel I have. You can cruise at 15-mph and carve to your hearts delight, and you feel totally in control, and it's buttery smooth. I don't know why this is so, but it is. Maybe it's how Gotway tuned the acceleration and deceleration characteristics of the the wheel combined with a powerful and responsive motor? If the Tesla had the range of the 84-volt ACM's, I think I would give my ACM to the Salvation Army and be done with it Only somewhat kidding. The ACM is still a great wheel and I suspect it's tougher that the pretty plastic shell of the Tesla. But the Tesla is better ride than the ACM. There are other differences of course, but I won't get into those here. This is one hell of wheel Ok Marty, once again, im sold. Im tired of constantly fixing and breaking my ACM. Time for a tesla!

Jason McNeil Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 4 hours ago, Marty Backe said: Hopefully the failure rate for a working wheel is substantially less. If my wheel is going to fail I would rather it happen when I first turn it on then after I've been riding it for 100-miles. Absolutely, for the moment, this phenomenon does appear isolated to Teslas taken out-of-the-box. 4 hours ago, Marty Backe said: BTW, have you seen the same failure rate with the other Gotway wheels? With Gotways, I'm reminded of the opening lines of Anna Karennia "Happy Wheels are all alike; every unhappy Wheel is unhappy in its own way." ACMs are the most problematic Gotway Wheels, axles failures, body shell bolts getting loose over time, axle nuts , occasional board blow-outs, frequent innertube failures, screws holds getting stripped. Plus the melting wiring problems on the earlier vintages. I can't commend Linnea highly enough in trying to work on our behalf on getting improvements pushed through; the poor girl is caught in the proverbial rock [of eWheels frequent demands] and-a-hard-place [Gotway Engineering intransigence] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Gotway FB group there was a report of an asian group of 5 friends which all have the Tesla....2 of them left their wheels for a period of about a week unused(holiday, buisness)......these both Tesla‘s blew their Mosfets directly shortly after powering on after this week. https://www.facebook.com/groups/GotWay/permalink/1630461160345533/ Down in the comments the poster reports about this exactly same happening to his friend after some unused time.....

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I've only ridden my Tesla once so far, but I power it on and off every now and then. Seems to be okay so far, knock on wood. If these are blowing that easily I wonder if there could be some defective MOSFETs in the batch or maybe some sort of assembly issue with the motor harness leading to exposed wiring shorting out. It would be interesting to take apart the defective wheels to try to find a commonality between the wheels to see why they failed. Is something shaking loose or maybe there are some exposed wiring endings that are too close to a metal component shorting things out? Without some post-mortem or disassembly studies we'll just continue to hear about random failures without seeing any improvements over time. I'm tempted to take a look at my control board once I get some Kafuter RTV silicone to bond it back up. It would be interesting to see if Joey Serrin or Jason can figure out the root cause of their defective units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the melting wiring problems on the earlier vintages. Do you mean the old motor bullet connectors? Or the ACMs before they switched to slightly thicker motor wires on your request? (It's probably that) Do you know if the thicker motor wiring actually is enough so meltdowns can't happen, or will they just reduce the risk? Do you have enough incident numbers to compare?
