This wheel does look really solid on all the terrains I have seen. And man it picks up speed really quick. Thanks for sharing

[gavincronin]

I got my sherman s on Tuesday only done about 20km on it so far because of weather and work but love it and the build quality is next level.really considering getting a patton now aswell as I don't own a 16inch wheel and from what people are saying it's an exciting euc.

[stevorun]

Yes it’s you settings so have fun playing with it and look forward to seeing it. Pushback is the real warning.

[wheelydope]

I believe that OS % tiltback is PWM. 80% is typically where final beeps come in on most wheels.

[judgesfiveeight]

You probably still have it in HT mode... which has a speed limit ~43mph. If you flip it to HS mode (check the manual), you can "supposedly" touch 50. Not my cup of tea so YMMV.

When I'm not riding bike paths - I have mine alerting at 35ish and tilting at 40ish... but I'm a very conservative rider and like plenty of safety margin.

I've hit 50 mph at 87% PWM on my Patton

[isthereanyfood]

Beep beep beep! That's the PWM alarm. The Patton beeps at 85% PWM. That leaves you with a safety margin of 15%. Since you set OS tiltback at 85% PWM that is where tiltback will initiate... and it does so in a very creeping manner which is almost unnoticeable.... until you pass it by 7-8% PWM... all the way to 92... 93 maybe... and then it will suddenly become very noticeable. But then you will have been riding beyond the beeps for quite a while. I keep my tiltback at 78%... and this way I can ride the subtle tiltback and if I push hard enough it will usually coincide with the 85% beeps. This also leaves me with some safety margin in case I hit a bump. Begode tiltback with custom firmware is far superior... but this is better than nothing.

The Patton is definitely not a 50mph wheel. It is a 44mph wheel. You can just touch 44mph at 85% PWM. It keeps speed decently at half battery and even below that. Also the speed is over-reported by about 6%. So it is even slower than that. And this is on the high speed mode and with me being a 150lbs rider. Almost as fast as the EXN. Faster than the Nikola Plus.

I have yet to push beyond 42.2mph on my Patton. But, I removed my beeper so I'm still getting a feel for the PWM tiltback and whether I trust it to keep me from pushing too far.

The community is raving over the Patton. Is the Patton the best EUC ever?

[judgesfiveeight]

Regarding Dawn's remarks... far be it for me to question her high speed expertise... BUT, there are variables other than rim/tire diameter that contribute to stability at speed... tire type/profile, tire pressure, weight differences and weight distribution differences between wheels, and of course experience on said smaller diameter wheels are all contributing factors.

Coming up as I have... 16S -> V10F -> 16X -> Patton... the Patton feels extremely stable at speed. Would a larger wheel feel even more so? Very likely, but for what I'm used to... the Patton is extremely stable.

[Stefonewheel]

Love your stuff Duff. Did you get a good price for the begote?

[Senioritis]

My record on fresh battery is 44-45ish mph. I can do 37-40mph down to 55%.
They really squeezed a lot of sustained performance out of this wheel

[BabbittdaWabbitt]

Someone loaned me a GoPro 4 a few years ago. The software made my puter lock up.

[ratmanmurray]

My go to wheel is my Nikola plus, I find it no less stable at 40 mph than my Sherman... I personally think 16"-17" is perfectly fine stability wise. I am only 5' 7"/180# ... so unless the stability changes for taller/heavier people, I would not NOT recommend a 16" wheel to anyone based on stability. I actually believe the smaller wheel turning faster might even be more stable at 40mph than a bigger wheel... the bigger wheel obviously will be able to reach higher speed. Unless you only want high speed, I say 16" is just fine

[meuconmyeuc]

I'm having a similar issue with my OG Sherman. 2 minutes into my ride and I'm at 65% under load, whereas normally I'm at 85%; even after charging it all night. It's not always the case, but it does happen from time to time.

[sludog]

Dump the go pro gear. If you want a reliable camera that works every time get a DJI Action 3 camera. Cheaper than GoPro too. If fact they’re announcing the newest version on August 2. Rumored called the DJI action 4. DJI also has an awesome wireless mic if you need a new wireless microphone on your rides.

[vadimkorotaev]

How do you live there, totally not a single pedestrian one on the abandoned palms place

[medium_dog]

I've seen 48.6 on the c pro, 50 mph is elusive...
