Fastmike Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have no knowledge about EUC as yet but I have in mind that some people have used some kit to prevent/reduce the risk of a flat tire. Might be for tubeless only but can't find relevant posts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demargon Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 They are a anti puncture slime used for bicycle wheels. For me works fine but the tire is making a new noise, kind of unbalance due the slime in the inner tube 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never felt any difference in all the wheels I own. When the tire is moving it's spread evenly throughout the tire and I can't see how it could produce a noticeable effect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is like a slick part due a slide but I doubt it was the cause. Another symptom is a noticeable shake when lifted and the wheel spin free.

I've definitely hit the button on accident before as well, once when I was sitting on it (or trying too) and I fell over at 1mph :). I like the button a lot tho, just have to get used to it being there. I kinda agree with this. Messing with the peddle sensitivity or angle doesn't help with braking/accel speed, it just makes it feel different I think. My ks14c accellerates and breaks harder than my v10f and its a "wheeny" 800w motor. To me, the sound issue (no warnings played) and the slow breaking speed are both safety issues. @Bobwheel & @Jason McNeil What do you think about these two issues: sound not working and breaking speed? It's supposed to have couples of music packs available on App for V10 next week, and I'll follow it up. As for the acceleration and brake speed, I'll discuss with our team, and hopefully we can upgrade it soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scraping is terrible, and from what I understand, I’m not the only one. Super disappointed that I got a brand new wheel today that I can’t ride. Seems like a lot of this could have worked out before they went into production. Hey @Bobwheel, and @Jeffrey Scott Will any confirmation that these issues can be addressed? So sorry for this problem, and it should be the motor bearing issue, we'd like to replace a new one for you if we got any stock for now. We're supposed to get spare parts within 10 days, and we can fix it for you once we got them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously disappointed that my new wheel came in this condition, why can’t quality control roll each wheel before shipping it out? The second I took it out of the box and it touched the ground I heard the rubbing. There seems to be other issues and questions that haven’t been addressed by you guys too. I lost my faith in Inmotion. I used to be a big fan and supporter. The v10F is being sent back to you. On another note, I just want to reiterate what fantastic service @Jason McNeil at Ewheels provides for his customers, he is a man of honor and has contributed greatly to the growth of the electric unicycle industry. I think all the major companies have learned greatly from his advice and insight he provides. Sorry about that sir. I am currently living in China and traveling a lot these days, and I had problem to get access to this forum. Since you bought from Jason, so I guess it'll be more efficient to reach out to him at the first time you met a problem. BTW, I'm more responsive with email, so please try to reach out to me if you have any other urgent issue. It's our bad for the defect, and I'll make sure to address this issue to our team, and try to avoid this to other customers. Sorry again for your inconvenience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bounce between 3 wheels so I may not have the same mileage as other members. What is my warranty? We can replace the motor for you anytime you have this problem since you're our first batch customer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Jason There is only a small potion of the bad vendor motors, and there wasn't any identical features, but you should have found the problem once you start riding if it's a defective motor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagsy Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 @Bobwheel, I am very happy with my v10F so far, I only have 1 question : is there any plan to upgrade the design of the trolley handle or even design a complete new one ? the unit is heavy and the current trolley handle is not ideal. Let us know ! P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will probably have to remove the tube from the tire and squeeze the Slime out. I wouldn't continue riding the wheel like this because it's affecting your ride quality and may cause other problems. I always recommend ~3 to 4 ounces in 14 thru 18 inch wheels. I put 8-ounces in my 22-inch Monster and 3-ounces in the Mten3 tire. Good luck 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 i also put 3oz in my kingsong that's enough i only used to put that in my bike tbf about half of a 430ml bottle should be ok i feel no difference in riding on my 16 inch? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I use a lot of slime, next time I care about putting the recommended amount How about positioning the EUC so the valve is at the lowest point and take the valve stem out (May have to let the slime gather there with some time, you are not trying to take all of it out)... Make sure you start with low air pressure and repeat until you are satisfied... Have not tried this myself but should work. Good luck.

Popular Post Lueksparky Posted June 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hey, I've been trolling this site (can you say voyeur) for about 3 months, decided to put my 2 cents in. First of all thank you for all of your input/info, this is the best site for quality info on EUC's. I ordered a V10F and got it in the first "slow boat" batch from ewheels (who I discovered, due to your excellent reviews) about two weeks ago. Originally, I tried to call Jason (line was busy) so I went ahead and put in an order for a Kingsong 16S. Jason actually returned my call 15 minutes later and talked me into the new V10F (the V8 was a close 2nd to the Kingsong, but I wanted better range). My impressions/experience : It appears to be well put together. The handle does have some slight side to side play but seems to work fine (I actually pushed it for 3 miles after overestimating my remaining battery power). The tire is on "backwards" (doesn't bother me), I did add 4 oz of slime and pumped it to 40psi. The app (ios) seems to work fine for my needs - recognizes the wheel, hooks up Bluetooth fine (I do find it a little annoying that it connects to my phone when it's charging so I hear all my phone sounds), music plays fine - speaker quality marginal but sufficient, lights are interesting but I tend to leave them off. I have noticed that I lose all the wheel statistics on a given ride when I turn the wheel off - I don't know if there's a feature that allows me to save it and I'm not the most tech savvy guy. I haven't heard any noise coming from the wheel so I may gotten lucky and missed the defective motor batch. The wheel is really quiet (although my wife thinks I'm deaf sometimes - selective hearing) - on video reviews I can hear a kind of whine like a small jet engine but I don't hear it when riding mine. I currently have about 150 miles on it, longest ride to date 24.5 miles. Not having prior experience with EUC's, I can't compare it to anything else but the ride is very smooth. I don't consider myself a speed "freak" but found myself hitting the 25mph limit if I wasn't paying attention, so I attribute it to the smooth ride. I was able to ride a regular unicycle before I ever discovered EUC's so I wasn't concerned about learning and was able to ride it around a parking lot within a half hour of attempting. I also have two sons who picked it up just as quickly, one who also new how to ride a regular unicycle and on who doesn't, so I don't know if we have really good balance or just to dumb to know any better. My best guesstimate of actual range for me is 30 miles. I suppose if it was straight and flat with no stops/starts I could get closer to ewheels estimate of 38 miles. I weigh 200 lbs with safety gear and a small backpack on, tend to ride at about 18mph (by ear listening to the pitch of the wheel tread). I have had the wheel tell me "overload, step off of wheel" (with the accompanying 45 tilt back) twice - once when aggressively accelerating (amb. temp. low 80's, battery 70%) and once when going uphill - paved road, about 0.5 miles, change of elevation 262ft, maintaining about 15mph, (amb. temp. low 80's, battery 90%). I am a little concerned about the possibility of excessive heat at the control board - I know there's a cooling fan but the effectiveness of it is questionable and where I live the summer tends to stay in the 90 degree range with a week or two above 100. I was debating between a regular helmet and full face helmet. Ended up getting a full face helmet because I work as a surgical nurse in the operating room and see people getting their jaws wired shut for facial fractures. It's great for weight loss but I'm not desperate enough. My main selling point for full face helmet though, is that my longest ride to date was along the "Legacy Highway trail" in northern Utah and it borders wetlands - I must have ridden through 20-30 swarms of bugs on that ride. I will say that the decreased peripheral vision is a concern. Sorry, that was probably more like 4 cents worth. I appreciate all your input on all the different makes/models of EUCs and will continue to visit the forum but I'm kind of a tech hermit and just enjoy watching from the perimeter so you won't hear much from me unless I believe it's useful input. Thanks again - lueksparky 13 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
