If you use the mobile app to order, it is even cheaper. I'm not sure why AliExpress does that with their pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s to be expected that generally speaking the X will exhibit performance similar to the latest msuper line models. I don’t anticipate any surprises or boosted or decreased performance. This upgrade is really about giving it a face lift and adding an inch to the tire size ( once again, a genius move by Gotway from the marketing standpoint, imho) from the performance standpoint or riding experience, or economically, it may not make that much sense for the current msuper owners to necessarily upgrade . But hey, I might shun my own advice and get one anyways, cuz of the freaking charisma and the smell of power the wheel gives off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a real newcomer to the EUC scene with my first wheel merely a few months old, but already have my sights set on owning one too, at some point!

Newcomers and old timers alike. We are happy to defy the voice of reason and spring for a new model as soon as it comes out and spare no expense! Can’t blame you for that!

For me, this makes the MSuper X3 a more compelling wheel than the Z10. The 19" wheel diameter will pair nicely with the 2000 W motor to give great speed around 35+ MPH and the 3" width is plenty to absorb shock and bumps of off-road riding. The wheel size specs say 482mm which is very close to 19". Now, AFAIK, the common 18" wheels have a rim size of 355mm = 14" (please correct me if I am wrong). This means they have effectively 18" wheel size (or about 360mm) when fitted with 2x2.0" tire width (adding to the rim size). While rim size specs must be precise, tire width specs often are more approximative without desastrious consequences. From here it is easy to see how we get to 19" wheel size with the same rim. Given I have never heard of any 19" inch tire specification so far (there are many 18" and 20" tires with varying rim sizes of 305-349mm and 355-400mm, respectively), the so-called 19" wheel is more likely than not a wide tire fitted on a 355mm rim. There is nothing wrong with that, it's IMHO much better than a rare 19" tire specification would be! Of course, 19" sounds much more spectacular than 18" with a wide tire. So I guess we have seen a nice (and apparently successful) publicity stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised if it’s not . Been looking at Msuper mods where the owner installed a 3” tire . Looks to be the same as the msuperx . As others have stated ...19” is an odd size and would require GW to manufacture it’s own rim . (I may be wrong but I don’t think they do this) . That would be a costly process .

The big problem seems to be a tire that fits a rim of unheard-of size. Where would that tire come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kael Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 This wheel is making me want a Gotway for the first time ever. Seems to have the perfect balance of power and utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourtoys7 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 This wheel is becoming more and more desirable... I would defiantly would ask for an extra tire just in case from a seller. Wondering what the top speed will be (I know, I know) I do like to speed here and there, ha ha., but on a serious note, Im just looking for more head room when the wheel is pushed, thats all.

I think all this hype is over nothing . Yes they added metal inserts and a new pcb but according to Lucas Gotway (FB) it’s just the existing Msuper T motor in a slightly tweaked shell with an updated pcb. It will go just as fast as the new Msuper and have the same spec . The pcb will allow for a slightly safer ride but we are just looking at a revamped msuper with fatter tire . You can mod existing supers to the same tire size . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After chatting with whoever is running GW Facebook I think I’m gonna wait for the monster to get a facelift before buying a new wheel . The msuperx is just too similar to the msuper T . But a 2000w monster ....now that would be something to get me excited ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
