It’s very cool to see your growth as a rider as you’ve learned tricks and techniques! The v14 is my dream wheel, but I have more pressing expenses and not enough $$ to spare. Oh well, it’s fun to watch videos like this as well.
I was into torque when the rs came out. Then I was into TOP SPEED when the master came out... now, after riding for a while, I realized that I'll never need to go over 65km/h and I prefer torque and battery life over speed. #Torque=fun
You know the tire plays a bigger role in the feeling, so 65 kmh feels different, i prefer a lynx over my master, but it has moded control screws on stanctions, or else it had a small ratle, . and it also is fast as shit, im going 83 on this wheel with 18% tiltback so its preety good
And we are back to what made this channel great! Excellent reviews! Oh how I have missed your reviews! So much more in-depth and relatable to know how it is living with the wheel opposed to just full send all the time like other channels! I want this damn wheel so bad! (If it rides how I'm hoping) this wheel is the closest thing I've seen to a all around finished package from what u get out of the box! Motorcycle like headlight. Well placed trolly! Very simple maintenance! Super fun! And powerful! And above all, convenience! Way to go adam!
Regarding the preload (spring) adjustment, the technique that me and others use is a long sturdy screwdriver and a hammer. Lots of "taps" on the ring will allow you to fully adjust the coil compression. Yes, it does scratch the adjustment ring but that won't detract from your already scratched up V14 🙂
I already made my peace with range after lots of videos saying 60km. Now you did 82! Very promising, can't wait to get mine 50s version from myewheel next week, v8f is screaming to retire after 7.6k.
It does have less range than the Patton. A friend has the V14, and he weighs around 60 kg. I am around 110 kg and my Patton has off-road 30% more battery than the V14. At 40 kmh and some off road, both wheels were at 50% battery.
As someone who's been in involved w/ industries who's products require high output batteries, I've always commended InMotion for implementing as much battery safety as possible.. I've been in the vaping industry for well over a decade and have seen my share of vents/explosions.. [That's a big reason why I held off so long on E bords/bikes/unicycles] I grabbed a V13 last spring - and That ^^^ is why! Go figure, weeks later, they'd release the 14 w/ The Suspension That *I* Need.. Offroading/Overlanding is demanding, and so far, the 14 looks like a Great [the Best?] option! 🤘😎 Sam -
I really love the LeaperKim recent models, I think they are the top in the market, but I watched a couple of videos on how hard is to change their components or the tire, and I remember that you talked about the lack of smart BMS in their LeaperKim models also, Am I right? But this wheel have my attention, more because its easy way to change the pieces or clean it, I think you can avoid more maintenance, don't seem too big, and looks perfect for commuting, and the IP rating is crazy, if the price was a little bit lower would be the beast. I'm waiting for the entire internal review of this wheel, I hope the bearings and electronics will be as good as the performance. Thank you for your videos you are a master!!!!!
Great review! Really love your videos man. I’m new to eucs coming from onewheels and I’ve gotta say your videos have helped convert me to eucs so thank you! Onewheels are still great, but eucs are a whole new awesome experience. My newbie wheel is a Begode T4, but I hope to upgrade to something like this in the future.
Cheers mate! We can all coexist! I’d love to have an OW but I’ve always spent money on wheels haha! In terms of performance though, there’s no question!
Absolutely love your channel, thank you for the quality EUC content! Would you ever be willing to do a comparison with the latest wheels? Inmotion Adventure, Veteran Lynx, Begode Extreme, etc. Cheers!
Fun video very nice. Yesterday where I'm at here In colorado I rode out 40miles round trip and found the cross wind really affected my ride. I learned to put my hands behind my back as I have seen you do in your videos and that really helps... but was trying changing my footing. Finally, I settled on a strong offset footing pushing on the ball of my left foot pedal (like it was a car accelerator)and my right foot I kept it flat. If you have any tips it would be appreciated.
I bought an inmotion V14 in Moscow for 2,433 euros. In Poland, the prices for this equipment are very high, in Russia it is much cheaper. Adam, thanks for the review, we are happy to follow you in all Russian-language telegram chats.
This is not meant to b political or other country bashing but all Chinese products r cheaper in Russia because they r flooding ur market w products due to favorable trade agreements so China keeps buying Putin’s oil. It is what it is.
@@wutruriding1355 more like way fewer middle-men. Since the ban from SWIFT the interbanking payment systems had to be reinvented and naturally they were made better/faster. Also trading routes are way shorter. (also yes, you went into politics with the oil comment, however the main buyer is India, not China)
As usual, top quality content. The kickstand on the Lynx is even more intrusive than the V14. I actually like the V14 charger because it is whisper quiet. What would be perfect is if it could switch between 3 and 6 amp charging with the fan working hard at 6 amps. Worth it over the Extreme? Yes.
@@gvarph7212 It is not whisper quiet as I first thought unfortunately. Now that the weather is warmer, I'm noticing the fan kicking in and it does make a noticeable fan noise. It is much quieter than the fan on the Lynx though.
Thx for the review. Nice content. I got a lynx and an extream with a maxxis maxxcross it tyre (some cutting needs to be done), to me, the extreme is the better off-road wheel.
Mr Wrong Way. Last year you made a video where you where concerned of the direction of the EUC market that tended to make larger and larger wheel. How do you think that has changed this year and how do you think the V14 fits in with your argument? (Also I'm just about to order the V14 right now)
Deamn ike your video's so much, they are so usefull. can you please make such a video but then with the lynx where you show more how it is to ride on it.💯🙏👌
Adam, thanks for the great first impression review, it seems that Inmotion have found their mojo with the V14 - tempting, very tempting. Regarding the stand - you could surely just chamfer/sand the sharp outer edge of the two stand ‘studs’ to help save your shins? 👍🏻🏴🖐🏻
Well, as normal, wrong way does it the Right way!!!! I have the V14 so I know how great it is, but to hear it again such a reliable source is really satisfying.. 😊😊😊💯💯💯💯👌👌👌👌👈👈👈👈👍👍👍👍👍love the ending tune quality!!!!!
Woah that torque for braking! It looks like it is very quick to break to a full stop compares to a veteran patton which takes too long to stop in my opinion.
Hi Wrong Way. We're impressed by the V14 going up the 45 degree incline. Do these, in any version, make it up the 45 degree incline: Extreme, Patton, S22? Also, how do you feel about the low-end torque on the V14? Amazing videos.
I went for the V14 for the torque and load carrying capacity, because I'm a big guy and I need it all and the V14 is the only one that gets me there. Another factor to consider for you lightweight "racing snakes". That said, I haven't taken delivery yet so I hope I will not be disappointed.
@@boulate Yes I have it, but haven't had a chance to properly try it out yet. I'm abvout 150Kg so I actually exceed the rating a bit, but I spoke with Inmotion about it and they just said "don't accelerate too hard and it'll be fine". The suspension does carry me without bottoming out and with a reasonable amount to spare. I will not be jumping or anything fancy so again I think that will be OK. You're only about 115 Kg which is well within spec. As I said, I've just gone around a rotary washing line a couple of times holding on to the line for bal;ance. I have a week off next week and that's when I'll get to really try it for real.
Every review of this thing, videos and chatrooms, its the same story. Gushing about how great it feels, great torque, super fun, easy to maintain, fast and water-resistant, just a blast, but LORD FORBID its not a Lynx 😂 A 16" tire vs a 20" is a pretty significant difference and I really don't think the two should be classed together.
Pedals: If you add studs to those pedals yourself youll get better grip. Nylopnove pedals are great but a little expensive. Great review, Dont forget there is a version with S batteries that will live a little longer but is muich more priceyu than the GB batteries.
Unfortunately, when you carefully read the conditions regarding the guarantee, water is a reason for exclusion at Inmotion, and any other gyrowheel manufacturer :/. Water damage is not taken into account in the guarantee. I really wish someone would prove me wrong but it's clearly stated in their own product usage :(
also have never ridden one, he says all the time a beginner should start with a smaller, lighter, wheel, but also that someone who's a cyclist will have an easier time learning. what I'm wondering is, as a cyclist does that mean that I already have the core strength required? or is it easier because I'll already have the balance instincts with regard to rotating mass? are there a particular exercises that would be useful leading up to getting an EUC? to be fair I think any off the bike exercises would be beneficial to me regardless... I don't cross train at all, and I should.
Hey Adam! Part of the promise of this wheel was the swappable batteries. As you are an engineer, do you think you'll be experimenting with riding with fewer packs, or even seeing what it will take to custom fabricate our own form factors? For example, i love my v14 for daily commuting and for that i don't need much range. I would love to trade out some capacity for lighter weight and thinner form factor.
Hey there! I don’t think the FW will allow me to ride with a different battery pack configuration :/ I’d like to have that option you’re talking about but I don’t think it’s possible with InMotion’s strict battery-board configuration
It says 2000Nm on the product page. Seems like thats a typo and they meant 200Nm? Thats not the highest in the market though; I doubt thats quite its ultimate peak? The 850N traction force also means it wouldnt quite be able to push you up a 50deg hill; so I guess that 200Nm is to be taken as a fairly sustained output, rather than a 10s peak or so? Either way looks like a solid wheel.
Doubt it has more torque than the Lynx, also unfortunately the sliders are a 1:1 copy from Begode sliders but with a rubber wiper on each end added. Also regardless of IP rating the bearing protection isn't anything to write home about, friend already have bad bearings from riding when it was wet outside.
some pretty bad rolling shutter on the shots of the display panels... are they flashing in that mode or is it steady on and it's just a refresh mismatch?
@@stevemiller123 For my use case I prefer the v14. I'm using it for transportation around the farm so I am often riding through mud and with the v12 you couldn't wash it out, on the v14 mud can't get packed above the wheel like the v12. The knobby tire definitely vibrates more on road but I was amazed by it's traction in mud, it went places the v12 could only dream of. Also the suspension is really nice for rough terrain.
Cross over the straps, and consider making an extra hole front side, so you can fit them from low to upward where each button goes into the fixing point.
Świetne video ale jestem tutaj żeby zapytać się rodaka który wie o co biega. Miałeś jakieś komplikacje z prawem/policją kiedy jeździłeś kołem? Jest to dla mnie ważne bo chciałbym jeździć ale sie boje mandatu i nieprzyjemności😂😅
Boczne od bocznych dróg jeśli już drogą jedziesz a tak , chodniki i DDR-y no i lasy i będzie git . A jak się przyglądają to w miarę spokojnie jedź . zależy na kogo trafisz . no i przez przejścia dla pieszych przeprowadzymy koło czy hulajnogę . tydzień temu uratowało mnie to przed pewnie cmentarzem .
@@sazzowl_gaming8203 about right :) although if the V11 works, many people like it. I won’t review the V11Y though because of the drumstick suspension and hyper complicated tire change
@mr_wrongway LMAO drumstick suspension, that is exactly what it is haha. Mine is 3 years old and the suspension leaks all the air out in about 2 weeks, so i understand the dislike for it tbh. It is still fun though
I have just received my V14. You mentioned removing the rear stand. How serious were you in contemplating that? It's a solid piece of plastic and appears to be a supporting link. I'm putting mine on for now, though the packs do feel very solid and strong without it. I don't want to do anything that could compromise the integrity of the unit as a whole, so I'll defer for now. I would appreciate a follow-up from you on that comment. Thank you.
Actually, I just answered my own question because in the box there are bumper guards if you do not install the stand. Although they are two-piece bumper guards, I can't figure out where the second one goes. There is no instruction manual, but I've already put on the stand and I'm happy with it that way.
In addition to rider weight and tire pressure, there is a significant contribution from having ‘rebound dampening’ set to minimal resistance, in that is allows the wheel to react move quickly as retract swiftly when hitting an object or bonking a curb. And, for this to be comfortable, you’ll want to match your spring pre-load suspension sag to 10% height drop of the pedals when loaded versus unloaded. Your tire pressure should be similarly set to about 10% sag (tire-sidewall sag in this case) but no one does this. So instead, gauge your tire pressure by the perception of ride stability (instability) at speeds within 20% of your wheel’s top speed. Start with 38psi the reduce until you feel stable at a consistent high speed. As your muscle-memory becomes more familiar with your new wheel’s physical characteristics, you can increase the tire pressure slowly to increase agility without sacrificing stability. If you’re ready worried about damaging the rim, you’ll need a “Tubebliss” motocross inner-tube that allows for a dual pressure chamber (lower tire pressure near ground surface where maximum off-road contact is needed, and very high pressure (rim-liner adjacent) inner-tube which keeps the tire sidewalls in place and protects against loads that might cause damage to the rim.
This is the first inmotion wheel I would buy... I rode many and wondered why people bought them as the torgue was always meh... I like alot more than torque but this seems to have it. I prefer 20 inch for off-road and road so the lynx is very torquey and 20 inch so thats the reason I still havent bought an inmotion wheel. I am glad inmotion finally caught up and No the v13 was ideal for anything but road trips... Way to GO inmotion ... Now you need a proper competitor to the Lynx in a 20 inch Form Factor. Let the wheel go 55 mph too ;) (not that i go that fast but I like having the ability to) P.S> I do not like the sound when you land is that b/c something is lose or just the way all v14's sound... it is almost like you are bottoming out but I thought the progressive spring stops that.
I think the general rule for all things is that it should max out at double the working load. for example you purchase a climbing rope that has a max capacity of double what you actually want to load it with (your weight plus whatever extra gear). that way if you fall, it shouldnt break when it reaches full extension and stretches out. for power and torque on a EUC, you can get away with a much smaller margin of error in terms of acceleration, but I think braking distance is the most important factor where this rule comes into play. Conversely that's probably the factor that's given the least attention in any of the EUC videos. going fast is great until you have to stop fast. cars pulling out in front of motorcycles and bicycles is one of the major reasons for accidents on them. A person on an EUC has a much smaller visual profile than either of them, and drivers will see a person shape, and instinctively think "walking," they're not going to be expecting a person to be walking at 90 kph/56mph, so their brain is going to dismiss the EUC as "not dangerous" and focus on looking for cars. I wonder if wearing a helmet that looks like a monster's head would prevent that 🤔?
@@brightidea123 iF you are asking what the size of the battery is then it is a 2400watt hour battery pack. If you arent going fast then u get 45 -50 miles or 80 'ish km but much, much lower if you love accelerating.
Outside of max speed that thing is a very potent competitor to the lynx and is arguably the better overall Offroad wheel, especially if you like techncal trails
It’s very potent! For gnarly trails it loses though as the battery and pedals are lower. Much easier to fall, clip or not have enough traction with the 16 inch tire
Lynx really surprised me on black diamond mountain bike trails. I took myself in some spots where I just told myself I'm going to walk it and surprisingly I didn't have to!
@@user-ke9yk5qp3u it definitely is the GOAT....it's the wheel that dose everything good or great and has no real downsides. The good thing is that you can't really make something that is a meaningful upgrade to the lynx that leads to an incentive to focus more on the entry and midrange lvl wheels
Depends on if you need range! Ex30 is out because no smart bms, V14 will have usually about 10-30 km less range than Lynx. If you don’t need the range and top end speed, V14 will work great for you
