Future Motion announcement in twelve hours

[NotSure]

@lia ok here's a dumb question: if the cells in that battery are all in series, what happens if one fails? is it like string lights?

[Lia]

@notsure Depends on the failure but in most cases a bad cell when you have none in parallel is dead.

I could go on about my displeasure with this launch but I prefer to be optimistic so I'll reserve my grumbling.

@lia FM is a bunch of chickens. Why not go all the way, 36s1p!!

@lia maybe thats why its 27s1p. That space if where the new bms goes, and just integrated the bms into the pack somehow? i can't image they'd go through all that trouble with the cpsc just to do it again if a cell dies unexpectedly or a wire weld doesnt hold...

[Lia]

@notsure Broken welds are pretty unlikely. The Pint is 15s1p too.

New vid too comparing the GT and GT-S

[NotSure]

@lia im not a fan of the rim. i see Nico riding that big floppy mud tire and i cant help but think "man, that sidewall looks so comfy!" Like riding on a mattress.

[LOAFFETTE]

@lia sorry about that, had a brain fart last night with someone else while talking about the GT-S

[OneDanGTS]

Guess what?

[LOAFFETTE]

@onedangts oh no
You bought one?

[OneDanGTS]

@loaffette Well, someone had to bite the bullet and take one for the team.

[LOAFFETTE]

@onedangts nice! I honestly would have bought one if I had the cash. The price is absurd, but the performance and speed someone could pull out of that board is enticing

[NotSure]

@onedangts here we go... I'm seriously tempted now. its late in the season, and it'll probably just sit in the box till spring, but im still very tempted, especially with u gettin one.

[NotSure]

@loaffette fastest ive gone to date is 23.5mph and that was on a stock XR with a vega.

Yeah, in Sacramento, we can ride all year . . . the rain limits when and where, but there are still decent days all winter.

[NotSure]

@onedangts yeah thats also very tempting!

two bullets now... two very expensive, overpriced bullets... hopefully theres a few more warm days this autumn lol.

[OneDanGTS]

@notsure didn't know I'd take someone over the edge with me! HAHAAAA

@loaffette Interesting, 95v. Does anyone think maybe they toyed with a 26s LiFePO4 setup?
