I think the Lynx seems like the better buy, especially if you go through eWheels. You get pads and a seat, and that offroad tire option opens up trails while the ET Max seems to just be street oriented. Plus the weight difference is honestly a no brainer
Ya it's clear there is no winner. They are wheels that shine in different categories. Euc would be hurting if we are missing any one of these wheels. For me I can't go top speed there is not race track around me, so I chose lynx. Et does look sweet.
Kevin is my favorite! Every time i watch 1 of his videos amd he says hi im kevin, i always say hi back! I know, makes no sense. But hes one of my favorites. And all he does is show u. Doesnt talk up or down about a product. Just shows. Thank you kevin!
The GTR is all-wheel drive while the Porsche is rear wheel drive. The comparison is a bit lacking in my opinion because the GTR would do much better off-road than the Porsche but I think we can agree the Lynx would spank the ET Max off-road
Your reporting reflects your love for the sport. I always wanted an enthusiasts to give us a tour of our favorite EUC factories, and a behind the scene development w/ future drops. If you had a Gofundme, I would definitely donate
About the threads in the Lynx If you have the problem that the threads wear out, it is also possible to use HeliCoil Inserts (only if necessary). I worked for several years in CNC machining for aerospace engineering and the most commonly used materials for lightweight construction were aluminium magnesium alloys such as AlMgSi1 etc. However, we always used Helicoil Inserts for the components in assemblies that were subject to high stress. This can be an option if You really wearing out your threads on the Lynx. Just be careful with the process. Although, I believe its an fantastic wheel, the engineering of the wheels is getting better and better which is fantastic. Ride Safe and wear a helmet !!!
Thanks for the comparison. Definitely over priced, especially in a deflationary Chinese economy . Currently the EX30 is $1,400 cheaper with more cells.
Re. power/torque, all things being equal it's very logical for the light machine to be quicker or atleast easier to be quicker. Looks wise, ET Max for me. No doubt its also the most complete wheel BG ever produced. Personally I really really like the ET Max. That said, being a average size/weight rider, I'll take less weight even over more power so Lynx ftw, for me atleast
Lighter wheel you said ? 40 kg and more are definitly not lighter. It used to be, at the beginning of wheels, successfully because it was an incredible machine for urban commute and easy transportation. Now it's a crap, sorry to say that, those heavy wheels are dangerous because of the weight ( try to stop a 27 kg S18 vs a 50kg at 30 mph...) Chinese makers just promote those new machine especially for USA, bigger market than EU, because first wheels are not tolerated in UK, Germany, Holland and more. Second it's easy for an american to have a 50 kg machine because most of houses have no floor. In France, most appartments especially in cities have many floors, subway without elevators. Try to lift your 40 or 50 kg just for one floor.. I know the competition is to promote wheels that reach now more than 100 kph. So it needs more batteries and weight... It's dangerous and totally counterproductive. In France speed limit for and EUC is 25 kph, and you must have a driver license and vehicle registration if you exceed 50, most countries are like that. And today I saw a rider died on his wheel.... Pay attention if more dramas occurs ( and this will most likely happen) EUC might be forbidden in more countries. So, personnally I keep my S18, or Begode T4 perfect wheel to ride easily, put under the seat in a train or my trunk. I still wait a decent light wheel on the market, but nothing, just the ridiculous MTEN.
you know what grown adults are perfectly capable of deciding what they need or dont. they dont need others, especially government making decisions in our lives.
So you think grown adults are more capable ?? :) Just remember that for the majority in western world, you need a driver license if your vehicule exceed a certain speed, especially to be capable to understand the rules... And fortunatly for us for now, we don't need that.
I'm a bit confused about which wheel to choose as a beginner. I'm looking for the best of the best and was considering the ET MAX, as weight isn't a significant concern for me. Given that, which wheel would you recommend?
@@ReeyonOnTop if your budget allows, I recommend a lynx. The ET Max is fast, but it isn't nearly as much of a joy to ride, and it is a bit more of a niche EUC. The Lynx is much more diverse in its applications - it can do jumping, trails, high speed road riding, and more. That said, I'm sure you have heard that smaller EUCs will be easier to learn on, so keep that in mind. But if you want to jump to the absolute best out there, the Lynx is where it's at. 🙂 Just my two cents, of course!
@WheelGoodTime stock geometry of begode suspension is crap. Until they can go with something like the s22 where they can have a progressive spring and dampening rate then I will continue to call it crap. Why should any wheel ever need 2,000lb spring or more to support say 160 to 200 pound person? I believe kingsong s22 is running less than a 1,000lb spring and progressive curve. Both fork suspension brands are able to support the same weight on 120lb worth of spring . Trust me I love begode electronics. But at some point the ride quality is going to be important to keep that wheel on the ground.
I will soon have both in my hands to do a side by side test of that if you'd like. I should be receiving both on the same day most likely. They should be here in about 2 to 3 weeks - if you remind me again by leaving another comment, I'd be happy to do that for you and let you know my thoughts
@@WheelGoodTime I just got a Lynx 🤙🏽 coming from a v11 it's like starting over again past 35 mph, pretty maneuverable it's not that bad the pedals are an inch and a half higher though so I got the lowering kit
@@-JohnSmith- nice! I went from the v11 to the Master Pro and it felt almost like starting over again also 😂 my lynx should be headed here whenever it clears customs any day now! 🥳
@@bookmark2846Yes sir, just got my EX30 from AR. 2800.00 and after taxes total otd was just under 3k for a street tire 50gb version. The Begode ET Max is the wheel I wanted, but would of been nearly 1500.00 more otd price. Pound for Pound and Dollar for Dollar, the EX30 is the best bang for the buck.
How did ET max react in the rain? Even if there is no IP standard. Does the water come in? Because I drive a wheel even when it rains. I need to know that information. Thank you.
Just discovered that the ET Max has independent IP67 certification! That is in fact the best waterproofing on any wheel ever made. Of course that flies in the face of my last video saying that the lynx has the best waterproofing of any wheel ever made, but hey, at least I'm willing to admit that I was wrong about it 🙂
@WheelGoodTime I find it hard to believe that Begode paid for an IP certification. At least European certification. As much as I trust inmotion but begode? Are you some? Or could I see this document? And the tests of this wheel in action in the rain. Because for me the begode tests like the A2 under seawater... especially since we do not see the state of the bearing... is worth nothing 🤣
Lynx does not have more low end torque at all. ET max has better torque from top to bottom. dont compare a wheel when the rider has 3 months of riding vs a wheel with the rider having 1 day of riding
The reason why they are compared so often is because they have a lot of similar specs, similar(ish) prices, and they are both high performance race wheels. I've made another video where I compared them both side by side. I said it both in the video thumbnail and the title: they're worlds apart in so many ways. The comparison is inescapable 🙂
Cost ? Axial flux electrical motor are relatively new. For mass production, I would bet they simply cost more. Also, an axial motor advantage is that it's compact. There is no need to be compact in the large interior diameter of a EUC wheel, there is enough room. Am I right ?

LYNX For the WIN 🏆
overpriced one
Did you now watch the video?? 😂 Better VALUE, Good to go out of the box, and more power.
yup
Yeah not sure if I would ever want to go heavier than my Lynx. I'm lovin' the ride on this thing. It's insane!
@@flowsolo in my opinion you can’t go wrong with either

Both good wheels, for heavy riders and more on road riding, Max is good; for someone care about the weight of the wheel, Lynx is no brainer.

Love the facts and Truth Brother. The responsibility and let the customer decide.
yes the magneisum is easy to wear- you can only work on it gently , like the patton, you will ruin threads over a period of time
That's great to know, thanks! 🙏

What I hear, as a heavy guy, is that the Max is better if I want raw power.
Still, the weight is impressively high.

Great comparision video between the two wheels. These two wheels are overpriced, its expected that the wheel are well build.
Happy to be apart of this community!
those private races were a tie and once riders get used to the MAX the MAX will own
My lynx came with velcro and pads (and a seat!). Not sure what lynx you guys got without velcro and pads.. where did you get yours?
Those were add-ons from eWheels - other vendors worldwide don't offer those added-value freebies
where are you bought from?

Lynx for the win due to the better suspension. Begode suspension is trash.
Have you tried their coil suspensions? On my extreme, it's incredible.

Why do you say that? The EX30 is very good, but the ET Max is in a bit of a different category than the EX30, but with many improvements.

Excuse me - what? Please tell me exactly what you object to. This is about as unbiased as it gets.
Begode does continue to own LeaperKim at all races
Why do manufacturers not use an axial Flux motor? Or a combination of the two (linear with axial)
If I knew what an axial flux motor was, I'd be happy to answer that question 😅
Cost ?
Axial flux electrical motor are relatively new. For mass production, I would bet they simply cost more.
Also, an axial motor advantage is that it's compact. There is no need to be compact in the large interior diameter of a EUC wheel, there is enough room.
Am I right ?
Oh you mean a flux capacitor like that movie from 30 years ago?
