you are the only guy who can compare the lmx with your nyx.
tell me in deeply details what are you thinking
weight feeling,
power feeling.
handling feeling.
150a x 58v is above 8kw of Power. does it feel like 8kw+ ?
can you easy wheelie that thing?
btw: no package from nyx. if i ever get a chance to meet him i will piss on his shoes.
Ok, it's actually my second off-road ride in the woods, and i am not used to pedestrains giving me the evil eye in comparison to my silent nyx/adaptto/cromotor which largely goes un-noticed.
The acceleration upto top speed feels like 8kw for sure, and that's what this bike excels at. And yes, of course its a wheelie machine. I have dampened down the initial acceleration on the throttle to make it more controllable. I have to say if there was any grumble it would be lack of top speed once reaching nominal voltage. However, i think this bike has much more relation to trials bike in its design.
Comparisons: NYX/adaptto maxe/cromotor with mx wheels n tyres VS' LMX 161
There are many technical differences and a big list could be written here as they are completely different in design.
However here is the what i think about rider use and feel.
At present i prefer the feel of my nyx bike, maybe due to being used to it , it having much more expensive plush and subtle suspension and having strong brake lever regen braking. It just feels stiffer and more sophisticated. However, the nyx swing arm and rear suspension parts wear quickly and i think they have not been designed for a 20kg rear wheel. When the nyx and adaptto are both in perfect working order i feel spoilt with luxury. Aceleration and overall control of the bike is much smoother and sophisicated, again better suspension also plays it part.
The lmx is more aggressive and raw, a definite hooligan bike. Its a motorbike. The advantages of this is down to mx style riding and utilising legs and seat position, i am currently waiting ro get on a local proper mx track to try and improve these skills. More fun can be had being able to easily jump and get air due to 15kg weight difference and no rear anchor (currently 20ah pack). The lmx will be better for trick riding and agility handling in a tight spot. Its more nimble when going through rock gardens and on rough terrain. I think the lmx(although very early days) will be reliable and pretty much bomb proof,, when the nyx bike is very temporamental due to controller and frame parts. However, all the wiring harmess on the lmx are are exposed to wet weather.
The lmx is definitely the 'Fighter' And the Nyx is the full fat 'Bomber'.
Maybe i am getting old, but the lmx is a bucking bronco for sure. Infact it struck up its first victim, today i can hardly bend my right knee. My slide off in the video clip left me with a strained groin and swollen knee. Going down A and E today as i couldnt make it to work Lol! :lol:
If you have any more questions, post them up, there are many things to compare and contrast.
