It is more simple than that and no extra tools are needed. Just use the provided tool. The rounded end is for adjusting the dampening. The end with a notch is not for using it with a screwdriver but to secure the upper nut of the dampening cartridge (if loose, it is a common cause of noise but quite simple to fix with the provided orange tool). So, after being sure the nut is hand-tight, just use the same provided tool but with the rounded end facing down, turning by hand until it stops; no need to force anything. Just feeling it reached its clockwise end. From there: leave it as it is or add one turn anti-clockwise to have a slow rebound (good paved routes without frequent obstacles), 2 anti-clockwise turns for a multipurpose use, or 3 turns for offroading. Personal preferences may be in between and we can set it at will, but for most riders it is as simple as counting 1, 2 or 3 in both sides. IMO, this is as simple as it can be. That orange tool, just put in a 5mm hole drilled on the front of the seat to bring it with you if needed. 😉 Ride safe and have fun 😜
Well Marty I got the ewheels V13 from New York and when I went to adjust the dampening that rod was free spinning and came right out. I didn't realize it was snapped just like yours. I hadn't seen your video yet but now I know its the sam thing.
Hi Marty, Thanks for the video. I just got my V13, and I it appears when you turn the adjustment pin clockwise, the rebound is faster. When you turn in counterclockwise the rebound is slower. Thanks again for all you do to educate the EUC community.
Thanks you so very much. I have not touch that part yet, have not ridden my V13 yet, just out in lock stand, seat, and power off Will do actual test ride this weekend. I do not mind to ride after the day with dark..... Incase unknown ride condition happend
you know whats really interesting, is it looks like youre the only reviewer who has been using the adjustment tool correctly a lot of other reviewers i have seen looks like they have been using the tool incorrectly, they use the slotted end when adjusting and looking at the inmotion assembly video, the slotted end is used for screwing the nut that holds the cylinder in place. Hopefully that doesnt lead to long term damage to the shock.
Another great video Marty! My hopes for this wheel were short lived... so I'll continue to wait, I have a V3 Sherman, maybe get a later run of the Sherman S.
Excellent content! Will you also make video guide on how to unlock the wheel via the app (or other means) for the full 55mph/90kph? I believe something to do with pedal softness at 0% vs 100%? Thanks, for sharing your 1am eureka moment!
I understand that you prefer a screwdriver to adjust the dampening. But I'd think that you could keep a more accurate count of how many revelations you have turned the tool if you had used the Allen key through the hole (as you said Inmotion showed in one of their videos). Maybe you could've turned each side a complete 3 or 4 turns in the same direction, then check the rebound, then repeat until it was dialed in.🤷🏽♂️ Annd.....if it turns as easily as you were saying it does by hand, it might be better if NO pressure is applied to the tool (Allen key), just adjust by hand only using the Allen key to help keep track of turns. Were you applying pressure with the screwdriver when it broke?
Pretty easy for me to count the revolutions that I turn a flathead screwdriver. Just a lot slower to use the the Allen key. Yes, I was using the screwdriver when it snapped. Not the fault of the screwdriver though. Thanks.
So basically, you're saying don't fk up like I did 😁. JK bud, we get ya. Would be nice if IM mentioned adjustment mechanics in their manual. Would be even nicer if they had dial measurements like the rebound click number on a shock. O well, I'm sure the v13 owners will appreciate your fk up so they dont 🤣
It seems really strange that there is no clear and concise instructions for the adjustment. They seem really lacking in this respect. Why don’t they put some instructional videos on their website, just to give owners a rough idea of what they are supposed to be doing.
Dude, you are dead wrong about this man. I've already gotten my money's worth from this wheel. It's such a joy and such a delight. You should really give it a shot
@@hereallyfast i ride a sherman suspension. I had a chance to ride a friend's V13 the other day, I have to say ... it's a really nice wheel. If the sherman suspension is a mercedes G wagon, the V13 would be like a lexus LX. The Lexus may not be as robust and strong off road, but it beats the G wagon with better quality and make. At the end of the day, can't go wrong with either.
This is very bad system, this adjustment is a joke. Suspension and battery for that money and weight... Sherman S is proper wheel with proper suspension.
@ElectricUnicycles I'm still confused. So basically, straight out of the box, when you get your V13, immediately turn the tool for your rebound 6x OR go to the far left until the knob stops, when it does, THEN turn 6x???

I watch this video before I adjusted my shock. I listened to your PSA and still exactly what you told me not to do!!
Ouch. Sorry to hear that

Hilarious. Glad I'm not the only one LOL
Barely turned after 2 rotations snapped! Fck this garbage!

Really? Very interesting. At this point I don't want to mess with it but I think my current rebound setting feels good. Thanks.

Yes, after I figured that all out, a video is forthcoming
@@ElectricUnicycles
Any word on switching the displayed speed to miles per hour?
With firmware update?
Or an app toggle?
@@kevinm.7396 Yes, very easy to switch from Metric to Imperial with either the app or the display that's on the wheel.
Thanks Marty. Perhaps I’ll try adjusting with fingers only to help avoid applying too much torque.
Might not be possible but maybe you have really strong fingers :-)
I like my V12HT but I will say that Inmotion’s publication department needs some work. Some translations are misleading at best!
I did the same thing on the left side and broke the adjuster. Can you please point me in the direction of what replacement part to buy?
All I can suggest is to contact your dealer.
The shaft breaking that easy isn't reassuring of quality
Agreed
Or Marty is just ridiculously strong.
So, you recommend only 6 full rotations on each side, maybe less depending how one likes the dampening feel?
Yes, any more that 6 is pointless.
I understand that you prefer a screwdriver to adjust the dampening. But I'd think that you could keep a more accurate count of how many revelations you have turned the tool if you had used the Allen key through the hole (as you said Inmotion showed in one of their videos).

I guess one side is compression damping and the other is rebound damping. Damping is British English. If something dampens, I think it’s getting wet 😂
As if your clothes are dampened by the rain, you tend to move slower... so dampening slows down movements...
Mine hits a wall after 4 revolutions either way.
So basically, you're saying don't fk up like I did 😁. JK bud, we get ya. Would be nice if IM mentioned adjustment mechanics in their manual. Would be even nicer if they had dial measurements like the rebound click number on a shock. O well, I'm sure the v13 owners will appreciate your fk up so they dont 🤣
LOL
Sounds like a real pain in the ass. Sherman s is sounding so much better. I like the tech on v13 but its not sounding that good any more.
The Sherman S certainly has a better shock system
Hey Marty, that would be so much better with the translation, please, thanks.
Well, basically the revolutions on the 'stick' have no limits. It should stop. For you to know that you are at its limits....
Bad luck Marty. It did spur the making of another video.
It seems really strange that there is no clear and concise instructions for the adjustment. They seem really lacking in this respect. Why don’t they put some instructional videos on their website, just to give owners a rough idea of what they are supposed to be doing.
As predicted by a lot of folks, the V13's weak point is its range and suspension. Hard pass for me.

your videos are good info but way to long
Please stop watching them and save the negativity for someone who enjoys criticism.

Yes, you restated the process perfectly
