90 kph -- 50 kg -- 3 kWh battery -- 22" wheel -- 4.5 kW rated hollow motor -- 18W front light
- safety-oriented, IP67+ rated, "no cut-out" design
- modular design (easy to change the tire, etc)
- removable suspension (2x2 air piston type)
- redundant sensors arrays, capacitors, mosfets, serial channels, cabling
Literally everything you were dreaming about a wheel.
Thus, even if you'll never buy it, every manufacturer out there will have to upgrade.
Expect "modular design", "redundant mosfets", etc, on every new wheel coming late 2022 - early 2023.
>b-but my wheel can do 60+ mph now!Top Speed only makes sense on a perfectly flat road.
When hill climbing or offroading, you need torque. And you don't want overheat.
Also, V13 design is conservative. The actual battery capacity is 3276 W/h, yet they limit to 3024 to reduce stress etc.
143kph lift-up speed means ~116kph (72mph) max speed; 90kph enforced limit is all about safety reasons.
Pretty sure Begode will soon announce its El Cheapo version, faster, bigger, heavier.
Because they know smalldick Americans always crave for *moar speed*
