V10/F Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages:
- Most Refined Wheel: the V10/F is arguable the most beautiful & futuristic looking Wheel being produced today. It bears a close resemblance to the early generation V8/Glide 3, while addressing many of the V8’s shortcoming; with the flush padded side-pads, taller folding handle, larger pedals providing a more comfortable ride over long distances, while retaining the attractive qualities that made the V8 one of the most popular models ever made.
- Performance: if you are considering the V10/F as your first Wheel, or already own of a entry-to-mid level Wheel, the V10F is an ideal choice for the discerning urban Rider, who needs a reliable, high-performing, practical Wheel. The V10F has double the motor power output & range of a V8, the maximum cruising speed has been bumped up from 18.6 to 25MPH. The V10/F was also the first Wheel to be designed for a wider 16×2.5″ tire, giving it greater ride stability, while retaining a thin ergonomic profile.
- Extra Features: from the earliest twin-Wheel V3Pro, Inmotion has been in the vanguard in outfitting their Wheels with the most cutting edge innovation. The V10/F continues this pursuit of excellence with the standard under-handle cutoff switch, the richest sounding speakers ever packaged into one wheel, a super-bright headlight, & is offered with the popular protective cover to keep your investment protected.
Disadvantages:
- Max 25MPH Cruising Speed Battery State Dependent: when the battery is partially discharged, the maximum cruising speed of 40kph/25MPH drops off proportionally after around 66% discharge. For illustration, when the battery is at 50%, the speed is reduced to 20.5MPH & @30% 15.5MPH. Although this programmed behaviour provides a higher safety margin for brownout power loss potential risk, the thresholds are may be overly conservative, when compared to the operating experience of a Gotway or King Song.
- Susceptibility to Controller Overheating on Sustained Hill Climbs: to protect the controller from temperature stresses, the controller forces the Rider to dismount—by tilting back the pedals where it becomes unrideable—once the controller’s temperature probe senses 70°C/158°F. On the V10/F, this overheating condition is reached earlier than on other Wheels from either King Song or Gotway. If you live in a particularly hilly region, other Wheels may be more suitable for your needs.
