InMotion V14 - Tire Change (FASTEST & EASIEST ONE YET!) 

Oh! Awesome to hear. I love it when the timing works out for someone :)

Yeah, its super easy. A lot of good small things add up to an easy tire change process

Hahaha, V14 is super easy to work on. Still has room for improvement - but one of the easiest.

Good choice!

Right on! I was very surprised how good of a job they've done. This wheel is definitely above my expectations by a long shot.

Awesome. Love when it’s perfect timing

You're welcome!

Oh, I've never seen the X-Men so didn't know it was that easy also.

Changing tire on the X-Men is easy but then you wouldn't have a suspension or a trolley handle. No thanks!

It was one of the easiest tire changes i've done.

Go for it!

Thanks!

It’s the same tire, which isn’t tubeless. But it has been holding air

I'll look into procuring an extreme for a tire change video.

@2cells1pack LOL. All kidding aside, you produce really great content. I assumed you have a network of EUC friends, colleagues, and enthusiasts that you tap into for all of the wheels seen in your videos. My apologies if that's not true. I'm not sure, but I don't think I've ever seen an influencer share much behind the scenes material, such as, who we are, why we share content, or just how hard it is to do (often the viewer doesn't know your story). Again, I appreciate you, and I apologize if I came across as flippant or disrespectful. I hope you never stop producing content. It's outstanding. Be well.

Sure thing! What kind of videos are you looking for?

@@2cells1pack Great content! I am a V14 owner but it is my first EUC. I would love to know about the settings in the app and suspension settings. Also, one more question. When I am riding and look down at my tire, it is not perfectly straight. I see a slight wobble. Is this normal?

@@pbuehner A slight wobble can just be the tire not being mounted straight on the rim. Firstly, is it inflated enough? A rim without much of a lip in combination with a tire lacking a stiff, well-defined bead, might promote such a thing. To check it's mounted straight on the rim, or not... on each side of the wheel, check the distance between the edge of the rim and the line on the tire wall, ensuring the distance between the two is consistent around the circumference. There is usually a marking/line on the tire a small distance from the rim edge. It can be seen in his video on the tire and looks to be .5cm from rim edge. If the gap changes during rotation then the tire isn't sitting on the rim straight. That being the case, you might need to deflate the tire a little and attempt to manipulate it so as to make sure that gap between rim and line on the tire is consistent throughout the circumference. Pushing down on the edge of the tread toward the rim on one side will close the gap in that area theoretically, but, may also widen the gap on the other side which is probably what is needed because typically the gap is wide on one side and narrow on the other. Sometimes, bouncing the wheel on the ground can achieve the same result but then, this isn't s bicycle wheel so maybe don't try that. The gap should be consistent/even for the whole circumference as well as being the same spacing on left and right sides i.e. both sides having an even .5cm gap, not 1.5cm one side and .5cm the other. That is the simplest explanation for a slight wobble. It could also be the tire molding (you'd expect to hear multiple reports if that were the case) and less likely, the rim has a slight bend in it - perhaps if you'd been doing some exciting jumps and bottoming out the suspension.

@@GroinsNZ Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. I haven't done any wild jumps but I have crashed a few times. : ) The tire looked like this when it arrived so I will try the deflate and straighten technique. I have been running it at about 30psi so I don't think that it is underinflated. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

@@2cells1pack Replacing bearings video. Regular problem on v14. I would bookmark it as a guide.

I don't think it's needed, plus you can't find a decent sized connector capable of high current. Connector = resistance = heat generation. Point of weakness.

Depends on the noise. The bearings are better protected now - but still not 100%

She killed it. BEAST MODE!

Yeah, they said it had automotive grade seals but I never took it apart

I’m not sure actually!

Only if you have 50s cells, you can remove two batteries and run thr wheel with only 2 batteries. Same power, less weight, and half the run time.

Depends on rider size and use case. If you're a smaller rider, V14 might be a little big. The suspension on the V14 is superior to the S16.

Good tip. The recommendation is usually around 13-15 ft-lbs.

They are short screws, don't use a drill, it will strip the threads which is pretty poor for a $5k wheel.

I was doing this as a personal test. Not meant to be a formal test with reports.

Ok,thx.

Mten5???

@@2cells1pack Still early speculation, but pictures of recent begode pamphlets have been circulating in fb groups showing "Mten5, A5, Photon, T4 Max, Blitz, Race, and Future". I remember my Tesla T3 had "MCM6" on my certificate which never came to be, so it could just be placeholders, but the mten4 is such a great niche workhorse wheel, I'm willing to purchase future iterations when they come.

Ah yeah, speculation

@@2cells1pack I see an mten/a-series style headlight tease on an upcoming Begode Facebook live event 🤤😀🤞

This comment aged well 🤣 I may need to give it a try even though I already have an mten4 and a Falcon

yeah, super fast and easy.

Yeah they did a good job

Yes, its possible. Not sure why you'd want to - but it has been verified.

@@2cells1pack you don't "want" to run it with 1 battery, but it would be great to know that it can run even when 3 packs failed.

I think someone tested it

It was really good.

This is already pretty easy

She’s a beast !

I have a V14, have to agree, but it's got crappy firmware and has odd pedal behaviour not experienced with other models i've owned Like V13 V12 and V11, but i feel it's the best T4 model you can currently buy LOL

Yes, a definite marketing failure. They should have pointed out all these benefits
