I just did a full 100%-10% on my KS-16s a couple weekends ago and it got about 23.5 miles with a couple pretty steep hill climbs. You got almost exactly double which sounds about right. Yet when I said I only got in the low 40's on my range test, I got all kinds of push-back. But like @Holt reported, I've seem a few other people give similar numbers. So I would consider the KS18S to be a solid mid-40's wheel, probably able to get in the mid to upper 50's if you keep the speed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I put the bowls of ice cream and cookies down I bet I could get the range into the upper 50s! Weight contributes a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreisel Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hi guys, Here a few details from my last longer rideI with my KS16S 840Wh a week ago. Start: Temperature 10 C, 95kg drivers weight, 100% charged, no music no lights Route: hilly, overall climb 100m, distance 37km, rest at 19km (charging 20min with 4A from 60 to 67%), average speed 26km/h the last 8 Kilometers with decreasing speed, the last slope was definetively with the last drop. so I did it home, but only the short charging saved me from walking. I know this is far away from the numbers presented in the datasheet, but... I drive the third kingsong now (14, 16, 16S) and never had any problems with cutoffs or unhealthy situations caused by the wheel. I appreciate that .... For me driving highspeed with an EUC is a special kick. Therefore I fokus on wheels with a good deal of power and topspeed combined with savety at maximum level, thats kingsong. I ordered the KS18L already, just to do a bit more for the kick in balance with savety. Yes, the 18S has a larger battery pack, but it looks too bulky for me... so, when I think about it, there are obviously three values driving my EUC decisions: Be save, drive fast, feel cool could anyone agree with that? ??? file file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreisel Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Tire pressure I run is between 2.8 and 2.9 bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thanks for the in depth Range report Kreisler. Sounds about like my weight and elevation changes. I am still torn between the acm1300 and the KS16s. I just saw a video of Ron world I am where he face planted at full speed on a Tesla. He said he could not hear the beep because of the wind noise and helmet. I often find that I can’t hear the beep due to wind/traffic noise on the ninebot that I am currently riding and the tilt back let’s me know to slow down. And I have been seeing some info that the tilt back can not be set above 30km on the Gotway app. That seems shortsighted on Gotways part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that 30km is correct, but if I depended on tilt-back I don't think I'd want it to kick in when I'm going very fast. Tilt-back, depending on how its implemented, can be very unnerving and sometimes results in the rider losing control. And many of us also believe that tilt-back requires additional energy and that additional energy might just be enough to exceed what the batteries can deliver and - faceplant.

Joker10 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yea I could see how tiltback that is done poorly could be a problem. With the ninebot it just lets me know I am going a bit too fast and I slow down a little. As I stated I normally can’t hear the beeps on the ninebot because they are not very loud, maybe the Gotway are much louder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
