Frequently Asked Questions

Is the $3,299 price confirmed, how does the deposit system work?
Yes, Inmotion has set the introductory price of $3,299. This price is set for all distributors around the world. The $500 deposit can be changed, modified, or cancelled at any time. The balance of $2,799 will be requested on arrival to the US, prior to shipping out.
For payments made through Stripe/Credit-card, the processor charges a 3.5% fee, or $17.5 if cancelled, other payment methods will be refunded in full if requested.
When will the first shipments of the Adventure take place?
Inmotion is targeting a first production batch in November, the target is to get these shipped out by Christmas 2023.
Will there be pre-production Adventures for the Reviewer circuit?
Yes, we’ll be receiving an early sample for sending on the regular YouTube reviewer circuit for their feedback & suggestions mid-September.
What type of battery cells will be used in the Adventure battery pack?
Batch 1 will have the Samsung 50GB cells, ETA mid-November; while the batch 2 (late December) production will be equipped withe the high-power Samsung 50S cells.
Will Inmotion be providing a 8/16A 134V rapid-charger?
Stock charger provided with the Wheel is a 3A. Inmotion is working with a charger supplier to produce a 8A rapid-charger.
What type of charge-port interface is used on the Adventure?
Not yet finalized, the initial charge-port is a GX16-6(5), without the center pin.
Is the Adventure packaged with Powerpads?
Yes, these are a similar Velcro modular adhesive formm to the type provided with the Patton/Sherman.

Although Inmotion has a no-load rotational spin speed of 110kph/68.3MPH, the Max speed on the specs is ‘only’ 70KPH, are there plans to increase this potential?
It’s possible, but typically there’s a trade-off between high-torque & upper end cruising speeds before encountering the ‘torque drop-off cliff’.
The Specs have a maximum weight limit of 140kg/309lb, what are the areas that are susceptible to fatigue with increased load?
Historically, manufacturers use the ‘stamped’ tire load as the limiting factor. In practice, modern tires have a burst strength that is several multiples of the rated/recommended weight. A full component failure analysis will be conducted on the machine prior to first production in order to get a better sense of the individual component strength, like the pedals, bearings, brackets, bolts, screws, etc to learn upon lessons of the past.
Is there the option to change out the orange panels for a different color?
Yes, batch 2 production will have the black panels fitted as default. These will also be available to purchase separately for earlier batch 1 Customers.
Seeing the previous troubles of this area, what materials are used on the suspension linkages?
The armatures are made from an improved alloy & hardened steel 12.9 grade suspension pins
Which other tires are compatible for the Wheel?
The 12″ motor rim is the same as the other 16″ Wheels, such as the Patton, Extreme, V12, etc. There are a large selection of both street & knobby tires available in this size. The preferred street tire is the Chao Yang H626, the same default Patton street tire that has an excellent balance between ride performance, traction, profile & tread life.

V14 Motor Torque & Efficiency Curves

The V14 motor was designed to have the highest torque of any 12″ motor/16″ tire Wheel made today. When selecting an electric motor in a given Wheel, there’s an inevitable trade-off to achieve the design objectives as an ‘off-road’ Wheel. While the V14 has superb torque for hills & quick acceleration, its motor efficiency optimization is shifted towards the higher rotational speeds within the 37-43.5MPH range, most other models have peak efficiency at lower speeds. This does not mean the range is better at higher speeds, as the power required to overcome wind resistance is much greater. Assuming a 170lb Rider is cruising at 25MPH, on flat terrain, based on Rider test results, one can expect a range of about 50-60 miles.
