      eh... That's how they've presented and advertised it, I guess, but it seems worse than most alternatives. I'd take an S16, T4 every day over this - same batteries, much better suspension setups that float only the motor and not the batteries etc.

    I love my V11, and just passed the 2500 mile mark. I love it for everyday use in Chicago and really hope that Inmotion continues to support this slimmer, commuter focussed wheel. When I'm ready to upgrade from the V11, I don't wan to be stuck with a 80-100lb wheel that I can't easily walk into a restaurant or a friend's house.

    My V11 is two years old now, 20,000mi on it and still kickin' it's such a fantastic wheel, I'd never replace it for the Y but what this shows is inmotion knows the V11 was a hell of a wheel if they were willing to revamp it.

    Most people looking at this are likely cross shopping it with an S16/pro. I still believe the 18XL is the ultimate incognito commuter wheel for people that don't need suspension, but the lack of maintained road surfaces in my city compelled me to scoop up an S16 pro + hybrid tire specifically to tackle multi-terrain.

Speaking of track record, Inmotion isn't doing so well themselves. The V14 has multiple problems at launch and the V11y appears to have issues as well. It looks like eWheels has even stopped selling the V11y so I am assuming the issue(s) is pretty severe. Update - it looks like the V11y is listed again on eWheels as of this afternoon.

      Research the Begode T4 pro! Very similar weight but more power, 100v and a much better Suspension because if a linkage system.
      It's also probably the wheel that is the easiest to maintain together with unholy amounts of third party mods including a Fairing system.
      The stock suspension is already very good and easy to adjust but if you want you can upgrade it to a spring shock to get even more adjustability and basically no maintenance.

  • @gpsanino
    @gpsanino Před 3 měsíci +2

    Good video, thanks! As for any Inmotion EUC, the dynamic max speed is adjusted not only by your battery level but your settings. For example, despite 100% of battery level, if setting "pedal hardness" below 65º you will get a 5km/h lower max dynamic speed. I like having Raptor, the A/C valves on the suspension, the better bearing seals on the motor, faster charging, better pedals, faster speed, more torque and the front light's angle able to be adjusted. But I am not hot for the lower pedal height. With the air suspension, we could always achieve lower heights by just adjusting the pressure between the chambers. The 85mm travel is more than enough and it is easy to extend (thou I have not had the need). However, I miss on V11Y the original speaker with sound packs rather than a buzzer, and the USB-C. Also improved original pads separating some for the saddle and jump-pads.
    I had no issues attaching the original Inmotion Powerpads to the saddle as long as pre-treating the surface with alcohol and a rug until removing the shinny outlayer.
    My V11 got so much better when replacing the stock tire by a Heidenau K66, I would definitvely replace it on V11Y.
    Most riders want an EUC for a small and practical vehicle. A multi-purpose EUC with less maintenance than linkage systems and accessible parts. That FH30 from PIDZOOM is great. For commuting it works great as a motion alarm. When we are forced to leave the EUC outside a store. 🤣

    • @grb1969
      @grb1969 Před 3 měsíci +1

      The pedals on the v11y float with your body (attached through a saddle) and are independent of the motor/chassis/battery combination. Whereas on most other suspension EUCs, the pedals float with your body/chassis/battery and the motor/wheel combination are 'unsuspended'. It's a reasonable suspension (unlike Kingsong's garbage roller-sliders) but the lack of compression dampening and rebound dampening are what causes the infamous pogo-stick effect that can throw you off the pedals if you're unprepared. Most new riders like this wheel even if the price is a little high.

      Nope. All KS suspension wheels are suspect for at least 2 years due to the excessive need for maintenance of the roller-sliders, which should have been abandoned with the S-20 two years ago. This could be a disaster for KS having propagated an extraordinary design failure into ALL of their suspension line-up. Maybe the Falcon will be interesting but it's too soon to tell.
