Gotway RS Review: Fastest 0-40mph By Kuji Rolls

This will be an in-depth review of the got way rs high speed. Arguably, this is probably about as fast as the Sherman the fastest wheel that I've ever ridden. The rs addresses a lot of the issues that I had with the map, which was like the slow speed and the spin kill button, wasn't very functional. Now the rs comes in two different flavors, the high speed and the high torque. This is a high speed edition. Let's take a closer look at the wheel, gateway known for its high speed and performance has just released its fastest wheel ever the rs.

This wheel has the same 18 by three-inch: tire powered by a large 1800 watt hour battery providing ranges of up to 60 miles. Now the biggest change is the motor. It's now a 2600 watt hollow bore motor, which has more magnets, more torque and speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. The standard pedals are now longer wider and less tilted than before, which I find more comfortable now got way, realizing that not all pedals are for. Everyone has provided an aftermarket option.

These pedals have metal screws for studs and have the first of its kind adjustable tilting visually. The rs looks pretty similar to the map, but they did make a number of minor changes. The LEDs running along the side are more grotesque, and they added a rs logo in the same position as the Bluetooth speakers. On the other side, the headlight is slightly brighter than before, and just above that they added a second charging port. If you use the charger that comes with it, it'll take about five hours to fully recharge, but fast charging can bring that down to about two hours and as for convenience, the trolley handle on the back is about the same as before, and a big minor change is the spin kill.

Button is now underneath the main handle potentially making it. One of the most convenient superfast wheels out there. It's been four months since my last video people are getting anxious get out of here now. This video is sponsored by e-wheels and e-rides. Thanks for sponsoring this video, you can order and pre-order this wheel and, along with other wheels at those websites.

Now that fan is still so loud, I'm going to turn it off and now the question is: is this worth the upgrade? Let's go? Take this out. First thing: we're gonna. Do is speed test as soon as I figure out how to get inside this area, all right inside, dolly university. We're going to do a speed test right here. We're going to go all the way down.

There come towards the screen, all synced up, okay, ready to go. I am at 85 battery life yeah. Definitely too slippery here. I can't do this here. This is just like polished marble, not a good place to do it all right.

This should be a good spot. I'm going to do a little speed test. This thing has a tendency to overheat. Let's hope it doesn't. Oh, this is going to be good.

Can this beat the Sherman we're about to find out ready, set wow, there's just so much torque in this thing feels so good. This track is really drippy, it's nice and rubbery. So I like the like that I can get traction, I'm not slipping and falling on myself, wow, so good. It's just super powerful. The motor control is super smooth.

Let's do this again ready set it's probably a little weaker than the map, but I'm not entirely sure, but I'd say that it has more torque than the Sherman we'll see what the speed test results are and let them speak for themselves. This feels perfect, especially on nice, smooth surfaces like this. This thing is extremely zippy. I can zip so hard so fast, and I have pretty solid control, so I like it. I want to go.

Try it out in some other places. Dolly is so much nicer and more beautiful than Beijing every day it's like partly cloudy gorgeous. This is just perfect for riding I bumped up my tire pressure, so hopefully I won't get another flat. I've already gotten three of them, I'm riding around the university right now, I'm going to try to find some challenges. Hopefully I won't get kicked out.

Huh, now is one two three happy. The handling of this thing is perfect. I'm feeling, like I, have pretty much complete control of the wheel. Has lots of torque high speed really comfortable to ride? The terrain here is very different from what I find in Beijing, where the roads are really smooth and there's lots of obstacles to go through, but dolly presents its own set of challenges. Oh now, one of my concerns with this wheel was that with the new hollow bore motor was that it's going to be more heavy around the outside edges, because it has more magnets, thus increasing the inertia, thus making it floor to accelerate.

But I don't really feel that at all, it feels just as easy to accelerate as the map. Just when I want to crank it, it goes. The motor control is just as smooth as I've seen on any other wheel after riding the Sherman for so long. The rs is very refreshing in terms of its agility. It's much quicker to turn.

This has higher torque, so I can accelerate faster. I can go like 40 45. If I'm really pushing it, I can definitely take tighter turns without scraping the pedals, but it is possible to straighten the pedals is just a little more difficult. If I wanted to, I could adjust the pedals to make them a little more angled, but I find that uncomfortable and I feel like I'm about to get kicked out of here. So we'll see what happens nope the guys seem to not care about me.

Okay, this is different from Beijing, so this place is quite ideal to be riding around, but that's not really representative of the roads in Dali. So let's go out and hit. The road definitely feels a bit wobbly on breaking yeah. If I were to race up terrain like this, I don't know if there's going to be a better wheel that could uh power its way up for this cobblestone, that's poorly maintained, it does a pretty good job. It has enough torque to it, but I noticed the pedal is slightly dipping down.

I don't know if you can see that in the footage- it's not too bad, but you can definitely feel it. I'm kind of worried that I'm going to bottom out, but I put a little more pressure in my tire than normal 25 psi. So hopefully I'm good all right. Let's talk about the convenience factor of this wheel, this is where the rs does incredibly well. The spin kill button takes it to the next level, because before on the map, the button was on the side, and that was pretty much garbage, but having the button underneath makes all the difference, it makes it so much easier to pick it up, and it doesn't spin now the trolley handle as usual is good enough.

You can basically troll it around this, but there is one issue: it's when you put it all the way back down. It doesn't go all the way back down, and it tends to get stuck a little, but that it's definitely not a big deal to me now. Another issue that I have with this thing is that the water sealing around these lights and the speakers are not entirely waterproof. There's a small gap around the rs light, which I discovered allows water to seep in. I don't think it's too serious, but after riding in the rain, you should probably keep it upright.

The standard mud guard is made of plastic and snaps in. I think it's pretty flimsy. It came loose a bunch of times after I bumped it against the wall or something and then eventually I lost it. I'm glad they're, including it, but I'd recommend just buying the rubber one and screwing it on. Also, I had the original pedals that came with it, they're slightly longer wider and more comfortable than before, but I did have an issue with the grip tape.

It started to wear off pretty quickly, so I did what I always do and remove the original grip tape and rubber. Then I put down some extra coarse grip tape and after that I thought they were nearly perfect. I'd say that that's probably a little more drippy than these studded pedals. But if you deal with mud or offloading, then maybe the studded pedals are going to perform better, because once you get mud on grip tape, they're pretty much worthless. So at the end of the day, the rs high speed is an incredibly fast nimble, fun wheel to ride while having some convenience.

So if you're like a city, rider, that's using it to commute, and you need to do other errands, this is going to be a great wheel now, the handling it feels very similar to the map, which is pretty nimble. It's really easy to take tight turns. I don't really need to worry about my pedal scraping. I can punch it. Furthermore, I thought they would have to make some trade-offs with the torque, pretty much me holding the wheel back in terms of power.

The only thing that you know limits me really is kind of the high speed wobbles and that probably is the biggest downfall to the rs. If you hit a bump, it feels a little more jiggly. Now when I was living in Beijing, I had elevators and escalators everywhere. So I didn't have to worry about convenience in almost any sense. Now in dolly there are stairs and there are no escalators, there are no elevators, so I have to keep on going up and down those stairs.

Convenience actually is a much bigger issue. For me, the rs is very convenient. It's its a one-handed operation and I can just pick up the wheel and walk up the stairs. That is something that I can't do with the Sherman. The Sherman is like hit the power button.

Then you got to pick it up with both hands on both sides. You got to walk up the stairs while bumping into your crotch. It is not comfortable. So, at the end of the day, the rs high speed is basically the map with higher speeds and a more convenient spin kill button and those two things may not seem like much, but it completely changes the entire wheel. For me now this is a really sporty wheel and if you're riding something sporty- and it goes fast, you should probably gear up.

Sorry I've been gone for four months. I moved from Beijing to Dali completely unexpectedly, didn't really have my filming equipment, kind of got lazy, and I'm enjoying myself over here. It's a gorgeous place. So once again, I'd like to thank my sponsors, e-wheels and e-rise for sponsoring this video they're reputable authorized dealers of these wheels, which means, if you have a problem or a warranty, issue, they're going to be able to deal with it. Unlike some online sellers, especially this model in particular, if you happen to have a problem like the ball bearings that I've heard that three to five percent of these wheels are having issues with, but they are fixing it.

I'm not sure if that's going to be an issue going forward, but it seems to be the case for the ones that are already on the field. I'll be careful. This makes me want to go outside.
