Future Motion announcement in twelve hours

@notsure
ORL? No clue what that is.Also we'll know in about 56 minutes, seeing as the live stream is soon.
Still jealous of Jeff pushing 28.2. Can barely push 22 on my stock XR battery, VESC.113 volts?! I could lick that!

That said... Look at Jeff with his coffee cup.
Yeah, then he spins around and rides backwards holding the phone and coffee cup talking into the camera! I met him when we had both just started riding. He was on his V1, I was on my plus. Obviously, he has progressed WAY more than I have as I can't even ride switch, lol. I'm using the excuse that I was 57 at the time!

We've got four minutes until gametime on the stream
I'm skipping lunch and thankfully my Thermodynamics class has been dropped today so I get to watch this.I will summarize what we get in the livestream
113 volts?! I could lick that!
-
@loaffette holy crap it looks fast, no obvious pushback on it
113 volts?! I could lick that!
-
@loaffette so it's called the Onewheel GT-S
(S Series)Apparently it was originally made for race for the rail
113 volts?! I could lick that!

@lia damn, 113 volts. That's the highest voltage I've seen in any onewheel
I could lick that!

@loaffette It's pretty high. Molicel P45 were mentioned in the live video so I suspect it's all series cells and nothing parallel.
$3200 seems a bit steep though. Not sure how many will bite for that.

@lia onewheel.com is back up
GT is now 2,300
Pint X is now 1,500
Pint has not been changed113 volts?! I could lick that!

i mean, i get where they are going -- they want to push the sport, and that's fine -- but meh, this clearly isn't for me. nothing about excites me. i'm not a trail rider, and i'm not a speed junkie. i'm glad they are improving them in general, though, and i hope this means they will release a comparable street machine next.

@franko Same. I'm all about range so this is the opposite of what I personally want but I can see the racers loving this.
Already discussing this with Fungineers about plans. It's gonna give us some new goals for sure in terms of DIY builds.
-
@loaffette just realized the voltage for the cells is going off of 4.2, not 3.7v
They may be fudging the numbers on this.
113/3.7=30
113/4.2=27113 volts?! I could lick that!

@loaffette Numbers check out.
GT is 18s
GT-s is likely 27sThey claim a 50% boost in voltage. If 27s is 150%, 27/1.5=18
-
So I did a quick and dirty mockup in a GT battery box and sure enough 21700 27s1p fits super comfortably BUT there is no shot there are any in parallel which checks out with the lighter weight.
-
Yay, now my XR is doubly out of date.
-
@lia yeah if they dropped the price of gt and made the gts $2500, id consider it. wondering what the pushback is like though. VESC's already go that fast with more features and less voltage. anyone here buy one yet?
XR's got what plants crave!
-
@notsure Everyone I've spoken too can't justify it. I'm sure there are some though.
Personally I think it's a bit rough on the riders wanting to get into racing. It feels a little deliberately pay to play.
