Marty Backe Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 My long awaited ACM2 arrived today, from EWheels (thanks again @Jason McNeil). I just finished filming an introduction, Slime'd the wheel (~3 ounces), and put it on the charger overnight. Tomorrow morning I'll take it for a quick 20-mile ride to put it through it's paces. Contrary to my normal behavior with new wheels I actually opened it to reveal what can be seen regarding the upgrades. I know some people were interested, so what the hell. This will all be in my video to be released tomorrow (Thursday) along with a comparison to the ACM and Tesla, and a ride video. I couldn't help myself, so I rode it a bit in my driveway to get a sense of whether this is a Tesla version of the ACM. Looks like it was all I was hoping it would be. This is indeed a Tesla I'm stoked Talk to you guys more tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Really interested in this one! If it doesn't get too expensive, I'm going to upgrade mine! Better cabling + thicker axis + stronger motor = Marty, would be nice if you compared the ride modes. I really like the medium one on the original ACM, and hope one of the Tesla modes is similar.

Kael Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Am interested to know whether anything else has been upgraded, i.e. the LED lights or casing materials. Weirdly enough, my local dealer has the 1300Wh and 1600Wh ACM2 versions at exactly the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Congratulations Marty! I can sense your excitement. Your reviews are always excellent. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Also, please fix the thread title. ACM2 is the new one (1900W Tesla motor, Tesla board, fans, whatever else), ACM V2 (or rather ACM16 V2, but let's not put more thought or consistency into the issue than Gotway themselves have) are the old ones (V2 only indicates 12 mosfets, which all but the very early 67.2V ones have anyways). 51 minutes ago, Kael said: Weirdly enough, my local dealer has the 1300Wh and 1600Wh ACM2 versions at exactly the same price. Which is why I believe it will be some time until they're available - when Speedyfeet puts on correct prices Has anyone tried ordering a 1600 one for the 1300 price (which they both have)?

Colorado CJ Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Nice! I'm looking forward to the video. I'll be able to see what my new wheel (I got one too) can do with a competent rider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll change it to just ACM2, but I've seen it referenced different ways and I haven't seen anything from Gotway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny is also: While in europe and US the ACM“2“ keeps poping up...the main aliexpress seller doesnt know about its existence! The Msuper V3s+ with Tesla motor is known in China....but when i asked for the ACM „tesla“ i just got question marks...(at least 2 weeks ago) So perhaps the ACM 2 also -maybe- just for for some markets...not all!

According to Gotway (www.kebye.com), there are no new wheels after late 2016 (67V ACM and ms3). But you still have a point. Not that it matters. Because Gotway. Oh, and there's a picture of a Tesla, if you click it, it goes to the old ACM page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Backe Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 No Gotway Dance In the upcoming video review I forget to mention that the new firmware also incorporates the higher shutoff angle of the Tesla, so when the ACM2 tips over it shuts off much quicker than the old ACM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my Mten3 from Chen. You'll be good. Let us know your thoughts when you get it. Based on what I'm seeing with the ACM2, your MSuper should be killer.

electricpen Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Given that my trusty KS16s has a beat up rim and case literally held together by duct tape, I am quite tempted to pick one of these up once Jason gets more in stock... If I replace my KS I will only own gotway wheels though and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
