The well-known V11 received its update to continue the model's success. Let's start with the most important thing — what is new on the V11Y compared to the V11.

What's new compared to the V11

• Orange bumpers protect the points that get scuffed most in everyday use: the headlight, the rear stop light, and the battery boxes.
• New mainboard: perhaps the most important upgrade. InMotion's engineers moved to a Raptor-series controller, and the main gain is safety — 18 capacitors against only 2 in the old version, and 42 MOSFETs against 16 on the V11.
• Stronger motor: 2.5 kW with 150 N·m of torque, replacing the V11's 2.2 kW motor with 85 N·m.
• Higher top speed: with a new controller and motor, top speed rises to 60 km/h — software-limited, while the hardware is capable of considerably more.
• 10 A fast charging: the old model charged at 5 A only. With two 5 A chargers you can effectively charge the wheel twice as fast.
• New smart BMS that balances the cells individually and lets you monitor their voltages in the app.
• 85 mm of suspension travel.
• Pedals and pedal height: lowered from 9.76″ to 9″. The shorter height improves acceleration and braking performance and reduces the perched-up feeling on tilts; the trade-off is less ground clearance, though 9″ is still comparatively high. These pedal brackets are fixed and do not have the adjustable mountings of the V12.

Summed up: the V11Y gets a significant upgrade in power, torque, and safety. The only downside is the weight increase — and it is small enough that you won't feel it.
