I like them for riding too, but the lack of cushion is uncomfortable on longer rides. yeah they are absolutely necessary for jetskiing especially at the boat ramps with the barnacles and slippery slime.

I don't want a euc what it need the phone and gps running all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want a euc what it need the phone and gps running all the time I guess it's just like the V8. You choose a higher speed in the app, get the usual "no responsibility disclaimer", and off you go. No need for the app running on your phone after that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ir_fuel Posted May 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) After never receiving my Gotway Tesla 1020Wh (production issues apparently) and a winter in which it was impossible to ride anyway, I just ordered the successor of my V8, a V10F. Let's try crossing those train rails again at 30 km/h, but without cutouts this time . Delivery this month.

Maybe get a snow tire when the time comes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad it got out early, but also Gotway is busy with other stuff so no maybe Tesla waits... All these great wheels, but hard to get most of them still, I wonder what it will be like by the end of May, much better or people still missing out.

ir_fuel Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 My experience with the V8 was very good. Very nice wheel, nice finish. I presume the V10F will be of the same level of quality, only faster and with a bigger battery (and those were the things that bothered me on the V8. Not faster per se, but more margin needed. Too much beep beep when going 28 km/h). By the end of last year the Tesla looked like the only good alternative without going to 18". I don't really know what went wrong there. My supplier never got back to me about this wheel after me ordering it (I didn't need to pay up front), and now he told me there were issues with the 1020Wh version so he never got them. Should go read on the Gotway subforum to find out what it was about I guess ... anyway, he didn't mind me not taking the Tesla so I ordered (and paid) for this one instead.

If the V8 had even 200wh more battery, I doubt if I'd have bought another wheel or even have any interest in one. You should've set the max speed to 35km/h.

The margin that the wheel has is too small to be cruising at 28+ km/h. With a 40 km/h top speed, cruising at 30km/h gives you plenty of margin. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few too many mishaps to be just brushed off, maybe nothing but... statistically? Could be there is nothing behind that dealer's report mentioned above, but it's not in stock anywhere, that's worth noting. It was a HOT item, then it disappeared. Usually there would at least be a small trickle, but the flow was stopped dead for a while it looks like. .... and it looks like there was a QC issue with the board mounting given there have been 3-5 instances that we have heard about. This might have been a tolerance issue at some manufacturing stage. Edited May 3, 2018 by FreeRide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might have been a tolerance issue at some manufacturing stage. The motor wire compression issue was 7-months ago and fixed with the initial shipment. I'm sure that there have been failures but I'm not aware of Tesla's randomly failing such that it has a bad reputation. Of course I understand the usual "Gotway makes junk" argument. Meanwhile I continue to ride and have fun while others sit on the sideline waiting for the perfect wheel. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it was enough for a new 'bad reputation', but it looks like there may have been some things they are addressing. Looks like a great wheel, but might need a few tweaks.

I think the failures were QA failures, however, and not inherent design problems. if one is among the six out of seven, life is good. If on one is the seventh .. not so much. All of "that" not withstanding, I still find the Tesla attractive as I "wait" for the Z line. Edited May 3, 2018 by Jerome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dany Slx Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 At 5min, a group of wheelers test the V10F ... no english subtitles You can hear the noise. The cameraman is on Msuper which makes more noise than the V10F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile I continue to ride and have fun while others sit on the sideline waiting for the perfect wheel. To be honest, i have seen several failures and/or reports from cutouts out of the blue, some because of failing Mosfet (shadoz for example after 900kmh) and some with no reason to be found, with the wheel still working after the cutout( most prominent the Taiwan guy) and a lot of headscratching what was the cause. I would not Count that under the typical "GW is trash" Argument...... And nope, i dont sit on the sideline :-) And Yeah, waiting for a "perfect" wheel would mean waiting forever .... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
