Great break down. These videos are great. // Overall Review -- In-depth look at Leaperkim Lynx, focusing on build quality and improvements. -- Noted for simple, straightforward design, easy to assemble and maintain. // Parts and Features -- Includes motor, suspension rod mount, Kender tire, two battery packs, rear stand handle and rod, power supply (150-12 volt, 5 amp). -- Battery side panels are easy to install; control bar has a straightforward design. -- Features U-shaped suspension bracket and robust motor setup. -- Bright lights and speaker included; concerns about light bracket durability under impact. // Tear Down and Inspection -- Control unit at top sealed with silicon, simple internal layout. -- Improved cable management for battery pack, ensuring snug fit and reduced damage risk. -- Chassis design is thin but strong, focused on weight reduction; handle is chunky but sturdy with some flex. -- Charging port at back with protective cover against water splash. // Performance Testing -- Free spin speed of 65 mph in normal mode, 82 mph in high-speed mode. // Final Thoughts -- Well-built with thoughtful design elements; minor concerns about part strength under high impact. -- Design simplicity aids in easy assembly and maintenance. -- Use of insulation tape on certain parts recommended for safety.
Indeed a lot has changed... but they just couldnt help themselves and had to throw in some exposed 150V leads on a loose wire in a metal compartment. That could make a short not involving the fuse, nonetheless. I guess they feel like theyve got to honor their roots and have at least some units spontaneously combust. Another decade and these toy companies will have fully evolved to actual automotive companies I suppose.
Might it be worth gently warming the fuse holder housing, which may prevent it from cracking? Plastic gets brittle when it is cold too, of course. We hope to learn from your m… experience 😊
Great video, I was curious about the products you’re using on bolts as you assemble the wheel. Do you discuss them in a prior video? I figure that medium thread locker is being used for most bolts, but what are you putting on the tightened bracket bolts after they are tightened?
. I hated my inmotion V11 because it's was hell replacing the tire or just pumping the shocks because of the pressure leaks. I hopethey lower the price a little in a few month for the Lynx
Hello, what tightening torque do you use to tighten the suspension mounting brackets, for the motor it is 20Nm but how much for the small brackets? Greetings and thank you for this interesting video.
Same as Sherman S and Patton, 8Nm, but since it's soft aluminum and easy to de-thread to be on the safe side better to go 7Nm. BTW motor screws are 18Nm not 20Nm.
1) I'm not saying kevin works for ehweels ???? it was a question of whether or not I have to make sure screws are tightened and what not. 2) chill out brother. @@InsanitiesBrother
Its allways advisable to check your wheel, eWheels EUC tend to get more attention off the line, they have their own team of inspectors etc. Still, check all your bolts
{tl;dr. I'm hard pressed to criticize the LYNX. So far, sooo good!.} I suspect that the controller base casting is Cast Magnesium (hopefully an Yttrium alloy). Stronger and lighter than aluminum, and without the self-sustaining burn characteristic that was typical of prior Mg alloys. If so, those holes appear adequate if not directly shock-loaded in a tumble. If it's aluminum, then I'd prefer that this casing be CNCed from a block of T6 AL with thicker ribbing and torsional gussets. It will be interesting to see how and where this casting fails over time. I wonder how much the replacement part costs because it's not really weldable, except by an extremely proficient shop? What's the fork crown material? Of course, the fantasy would be carbon fiber or EDM these parts from titanium; that would be worth double (to me), as I'd only have to buy an occasional controller and axial flux motor upgrade to keep it running competitively for decades... or, until electronic linear motor suspensions become viable (at which time it becomes reasonable to upgrade the entire unit. Now, LeaperKim needs a 14" version to capture the new rider, youth and elderly markets. Capturing disillusioned e-scooter riders is also ripe for adoption.
Kevin, Wish we could see all of your unedited repair/build videos on a separate sub-channel... if you don't plan on monetizing the content in the future as training videos. I could watch you work all day long. Thanks 😉
