    Cool video, I really like your chanel. Just a note about the power pad thing and the feet coming off the pedals when you hit a bump. This only happens if you are flat footed/ if you put youre weight on the heels while you ride. If you stay light footed (put youre weight on the balls of youre foot and lift the heel up slightly) when a bump hits the wheel, youre foot is gonna come down instead of up. Ronnin did a cool video with chris yim explaining this. Locking youre foot o with pads can be dangerous cause if the wheel goes down it will drag you along and can twist youre ankle.

      if you ride with your heels you are going backwards, regardless of what part of your foot is on the pedal- if you hit a significant bump your entire foot WILL come off the pedal- also pads do not LOCK your foot in- your foot can easily come out, I dont know of a single person ever twisting their ankle due to a pad

      @@shibadoesntcare not really, you can still accelerate and brake while seated on the back of the wheel, for example, with your feet completely off the pedals. The wheel moves due to the lean of the total mass of the device and the rider on top of it, so you can and, I think, most people do, accelerate with at least some weight on their heels. Marty beck snapped his ankle twice, though he never attributed the accidents to the pads, seems to me that if he wasn't locked in, it wouldn't have happend. Granted, not everybody likes to ride with their foot super locked in when they have pads, but still some people do it. What I was saying is that, when you lift your heels up slightly off of the pedals, you create another articulation point to help dampen abrupt impacts (along with bent knees and waist). Boxers, dancers and skaters are told to stay light on their feet when learning for this reason. Sure, if you hit a manhole cover at 50 mph, you are going to come off the pedals, but than you would probably crash regardless, and in this case is better come off the wheel than to get dragged by it, or get torqued into a faceplant. I ride regularly on bumpy terrain without pads, only time I came off the pedals was when I was still learning and was very flatfooted or in a cutout situation I had once. Again, this is not my idea, chris yim explains this better in his video with ronnin. Cheers

    Congrats on the new wheel (and mic)! Would you mind sharing 1. How does torque off the line feel vs those other wheels. 2. Stability/wobbles youve felt 3. Suspension feel at medium to high speed, is it still responsive?

    • @floatypiet
      @floatypiet  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you mate! Which of the other 2 wheels do you mean? SS and Patton? I talked a little bit about them in my 'Pumptrack in Taiwan' video.
      The Patton has a little bit more torque, but I did experience some wobbles around 65 kph when riding in Abu Dhabi.
      If the SS is more stable, I can't tell you, but the LYNX is super stable, I haven't gone faster than 70 though. Currently I'm experiencing a little side drag to the right when going fast. Not sure yet if it's the tire or just me... However, I do think it's super stable.
      Suspension: I personally prefer the springy setting (it's more fun jumping around), and I did hit some potholes going faster. No problem! I feel super safe! I personally love it but I know there are some people who love the EX Max suspension even more. But then you also have a 10 kg/20% heavier wheel.
      I don't want something heavier than 40 kg (because I often take it on the bus or train), but that's just my opinion.
      The Lynx is obviously not perfect and a 10/10 but there are just small things which I don't like and I'll address in my first thought after 1000 km video.
      If you still have questions, just let me know.

      Hi bro, do you feel a significant difference between the patton and the lynx in terms of torque because I have a patton and I'm thinking of maybe switching to a lynx but I'm a little afraid that I won't have the same torque as the patton because the patton feels very strong in its acceleration?🙏🏼

    • @floatypiet
      @floatypiet  5 месяцев назад

      @@עידוזיו-ל6נ I do feel the Patton has more torque and just for off-roading it’s probably better. But the lynx has still lots of power, torque and the better range. It’s also better on the street due to its bigger tire.

      Niceeee! You'll love the wheel mate! Lynx specific you should know the the charger might give out more voltage than 151.2 V. There is a screw inside the charger with what you can adjust the max output to what ever Voltage you like. I personally prefer just 150 or 150.5V or pull it out just in time. You can track the voltage over the Lynx screen and also your phone while charging.
      Enjoy your new wheel! 🔥

    What about the PWM titlback? It still present in the Lynx? Most usefull safety function in my opinion. Speed sound alarm is not that safe because max speed depends on the battery level and the hill climb :).

      I know I forgot something! ♥️ I put the PWM on 75%. Super important! And I have hit it on low and high speeds. It works awesome!

    Hey bro, which wheel do you feel has more torque, the patton or the lynx?

    • @floatypiet
      @floatypiet  5 месяцев назад +1

      Patton has more because of the smaller tire. I talked about it in my ‘Pumptrack‘ video I made a few months ago in Taiwan :)

    • @floatypiet
      @floatypiet  5 месяцев назад +1

      @@עידוזיו-ל6נ I did. But it’s like have a wheel with a lot of torque or having a wheel with even more that a lot of torque. If you do just off-roading, maybe go with the Patton. If you also like to do street riding go with the Lynx. I’d say the lynx can do it all but is in nothing the best.
      That’s my personal opinion. And I‘m super happy to have this powerful and fun alrounder.
