We’ve been observing with our partners Inmotion Global and Inmotion France for several weeks now a debate that’s been raging, both in forums and in customer requests. We’ve investigated and tell you all about it! Note that this is the information available at our (humble) level, valid at time T.
To put it simply, Inmotion Global has begun communicating about batteries made up of Samsung 50GB cells. These are the batteries that will therefore equip the first batch of wheels, the pre-production one. But – following a request from the American importer – there will be a modification from batch 2 onwards. The battery pack fitted to the Inmotion V14 Adventure will still be from Samsung, but this time in 50S.
And this ‘small’ change hides a ‘big’ improvement: while 50GB type batteries equip the majority of competing wheel products in the same range, a 50S type battery is – in theory – capable of supplying a continuous current of 25 amps per cell. That’s almost two and a half times more than the 50GB batteries that were originally announced for the Adventure!
In addition to this performance gain, 50S batteries are more resistant to temperature variations. So they withstand charging (which generates high temperatures) better, for example, which contributes to a longer product life. And they withstand lower temperatures better.
In order to satisfy the (many) Inmotion customers in France and Europe, New Walkings has decided to order the V14 model only from batch 2. In this way, performance and safety will be increased on this model, for the good and comfort of everyone. The announced availability remains at February 2024, an availability that could be subject to change depending on production requirements and the Chinese New Year.
As a reminder, the app will allow you to switch from a ‘normal’ mode for endurance to a ‘sport’ mode for more power. And since we’re on ‘Inmotion’ news, we’ve received confirmation that the app will be available from Monday 23 October in French. Yes yes, the Gallic request has been heard!
Note that in addition to this modification, another change will be in order for from the second batch: the colour! The Inmotion Adventure V14 gyrorou will be more black than the first batch. Camille couldn’t resist and shared the news on the well-known Esprit Roue forum! But she had kept the first information about the battery to our brand new WhatsApp channel!
