13 Nov 2002 ET-8 原庄尾胎問題調查  知識技術

 
在一個月前我們收到一位車友來信,懷疑ET-8的原庄跟車輪胎質素是否安全有問題。我們於是舉行了一個車主調查,呼籲各位ET-8車主,如果感受到類似困擾的話請告訴我們。

經過一個月的意見收集,我們只收到以下的回應。我們覺得ET-8輪胎如果真的有結構性或缺陷性問題的話,肯定不會收到這麼少的回應。而以下的車主回應,也沒有報告特別問題。因此我們認為該車友遇上的問題,只屬個別情況。我們看不見有充份證據顯示ET-8跟車的輪胎質素有缺陷性問題。

特此報告,OVER

我在奧士買了新et8,行了只有千三公里,有時會覺行行下車尾會擺一擺,但其餘問題不大

小弟駕駛ET8大約半年,剛剛換胎. 在換胎前差不多日日跣,有好天,有雨天.首先對原廠胎無乜特別超差感覺,亦好彩無乜意外,但換胎後發覺有如天淵之別對比之下,條新胎好到你唔信!!
本身原廠胎根本for 外國weather, 你知香港d , 乜都有, 有几次差d !!And 如果今次有太多人complain 都無用.總代理每架賺唔到好多,會唔會要求到Piaggio換埋胎先運來香港呢最終受害未又係消費者。所以几百蚊就唔好慳,原廠胎係超級唔掂in HK.,d錢換條好胎la!!

I brought my et-8 from On Ting in Tai Kok Tsui.  So far, I have two “slip tire” incidents…The first case is in happy valley, that evening was raining heavily, and I was a relatively new driver…I drove over a tram rail at a slow speed (no more than 30km per hour), I fall over immediately…Since it's a rainy day…I thought it's my fault…
On the second occasion…it's definitely related to the tire, I was leaving On Ting on that date after changing my rear mirror….There was a small rain and I drove really carefully due to the rain.  When I was going into the circle area in to the Western cross harbor tunnel, I fall again…this time, my speed should be under 30km… As I did not even get a scratch on my knees or elbows… 
After that, I changed my tires immediately…When I did that, my mileage is no more than 1000 km….
That tire is really bad.

I think I am one of the people who has the rear tire bust at eastern corridor last month. I went to lei see too. I am lucky that day. My tire burst when I was travelling at max speed of ET8 and I could control the bike. 
Please note that I have changed the tire to Dunlop before it burst. The point is, there are many pins on eastern corridor because of the construction work. 
I think it has nothing to do with the OEM tire. Though I agree the OEM tire is slippery.

最近收到一位車友填寫炒車報告,內容大致上是說他駕駛著
Piaggio ET-8不幸爆了尾胎導至炒車受傷。

當召喚拖車後,拖車師父說他見過幾部ET-8都有類似情況發生。

事主懷疑是否ET-8的原庄OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer)的輪胎質素出了問題,而要求鐵騎網誌成立車主調查問卷。

現在我們正式邀請各位現任或前任ET-8車主,和大家分享自身經驗。

如果發現爆胎問題並非個別情況的話,我們會直接向代理商提出報告。

苦主原文(Tuesday, November 12, 2002 4:44 PM)如下:

駕駛車款:            Vespa et8
製造年份:            2000
意外種類:            自己炒低
車主
:                   nomoreet8

事發經過:
We were in the left( slow) lane of Eastern expressway towards (40-50km/h) Central around 5:45pm 11nov 02. Suddennly, the bike( i'm at the rear ) is shaking heavily left and right.Finally we fall down as the bike flip over.

人命財物傷亡損毀:
1, rear tire (OEM tire)  "exploded".
2, left side of ET8 was srcatched quite seriously.

當時感受:
1, i saw a yellow big truck behind us at mirror. But it stopped at right time.
2,srcatch off skin fr elbow, knees. painful (both of us) !!!

事後影響:
The technican from tow truck said this is the 4th accidents regarding the SAME model bike, rear tire exploded yesterday. a girl( rider) needed to go to hositipal.
Then, we arrived a scooter shop at Wan chai, the shopkeeper also said that it is the common "vital" problem of ET8.They change quite a lot tires for this model.  ie.. "The rear OEM tire of ET8  is easy to explode."
if it is true, i think we should do something because it is hurting our LIFES. Whatever ET8 owners or other road users.
i hope we can do a survey to see whether ET8 owners have experienced the same problem- OEM tires , if they still can answer!!!!!

肇事原因及教訓啟示:
i can do nothing in that case. i try to stablise the bike but i can't.
