"Make us wheels that are small, light, portable and powerful". Amen to that! As technology evolves, especially batteries, this class of wheel should really evolve over next 10 years.
Totally agree with your point with not trusting companies. It’s a shame one has to choose between spotty quality at best with PEV makers or blatantly anti-consumer and anti-competition companies like FM.
It has a certain use case. Made for easy, soft cruising on most terrain but not built for heavy weight bashing. Seems like a lot of fun for certain people.
I'm someone that loves to blast through mountains and get places fast! But ive realized that i use my mten4 the most for practical reasons. Shopping, picking up packages etc... the fact that this has more power and suspension than my mten4... I'm VERY VERY excited to get it soon! Thanks for the video, my giant friend!
Begode: What color should we make it?... inmotion orange Also begode: What safety features should we include?... How about we attach some blades on the front of it?! WTF Begode?!
Please do the comparison with the MCM5 like you mentioned! Maybe a side-by-side would be sick, if possible. Loving the video and thanks for the deep insight on the wheel
Also very keen to see that comparisson! I've got an mcm5 v2 and I wonder if this is worth the upgrade =).. to be fair though, i recently got the v14 and it's pretty dope, so the question is basically: does the falcon do the smallwheel stuff in an even more satisfyin/fun way than the mcm5? =) A detailed comparisson would be great, if you could run both through your usecase for a small wheel like that ❤ I don't expect to do jump-jumps with it, but for it to feel safer to go through potholes (because I dab pretty hard sometimes on my mcm5 hehe) Thanks for your awesome videos man! Apprechiate your perspective a lot! :)
@@ThePwnagealleRight? Haha. Although the Falcon weighs quite a bit more than the MCM5, I’d love to see if the Falcon would be a great upgrade from the mcm. Kinda like whether it would be a substitute/upgrade from the MCM5 with the added suspension
The MCM5 is significantly lighter and more portable than the Falcon. That is really the only advantage it has. The falcon has more power, more speed, suspension, better ergonomics, better build quality, etc. The Falcon is also a lot more fun to ride thanks to its wide tire, the MCM5 tire is incredibly narrow and that provides very few advantages (mostly cons). I like the A2 a lot better than the MCM5 even though the A2 is a little less powerful. The wide tire is a game changer (also wetproofing, screen, and a great handle).
There is no connection between the Falcon and the MCM5, we must stop making absurd comparisons! The MCM5 is an old wheel finished in plastic just good for rolling on flat ground...
@@guiguiteplouche maybe you weigh more than me (65kg) but I put my mcm5 through hell and it's still a fucking pegasus, very rarely complains & takes me where I want to go in a swift & convenient way :)
Great review! Thank you so much! In summary, I think that large people will prefer the T4pro or S16pro and smaller people like me (70Kg) will prefer the Falcon. :-) I can't wait for batch 2 of the Falcon to order it! Could you do a complete autonomy test from 100% battery to 10-15% (safety margin)? There is only that left to really test I think and you will be the demonstration hero of this Falcon!!! Thank you again for your clear and effective explanations!
The Falcon gets more range than my Begode Extreme... but I ride them very differently... one I like to ride at 15-25 MPH, the other at 30-40 MPH. You will easily get 20 miles on the Falcon unless your riding it super hard.
Thanks for the great Falcon videos! It almost seemed like the first prototype was torquier and more difficult to overpower. Do you think that was just because you were in the garage, or do you think this one truly has a bit less torque?
Bonjour, pourrais tu nous dire combien de distance tu peux parcourir au total en miles ou kilomètres avec la batterie chargée. Sur le forum "Esprit roue" en France on se pose la question ? Hello, could you tell us how far you can travel in total miles or kilometres with the battery charged. On the "Esprit roue" forum in France, we ask ourselves this question?
I think what it is, is that people see it and really think it looks fun, but they don't really understand how it works so they think it's inherently unstable. I mean, on its own it is, but so is a bicycle. It's just that most people braved the learning curve of a bike when they were young and more invincible. They just haven't wrapped their head around it yet and don't know how to.
I would never say this to my spouse, because obviously she would never let me ride this:) I always tell her: I ride safely, this is perfect stable, the wheel is strong, it will not throw me off etc etc. So she is not comfortable with this at most, not scared.
iam 220 lbs with gear...need a commuter that goes no more than 32 mph becouse of the city limit...but it has a good torque for 15-20 inclines for that speed constant...mileage about 30miles is ok with me needs to be light....do you recommend this for me...should i wait...my first wheel but i have now a little experience with eucs...some of my friends got them and teached me..extreme is over my budget....was considering t4 pro with 50s cells for better constant output...this one got also 50s cells.
random, but with a quick mod I rode my EX.N HS up to a weather station near wear I live - 4500 foot climb over 7-10 miles with some steep sections. Not ideal, and I had to let it cool down once. biggest issue was just riding non-suspension on such rough mountain roads. Not a ride I'd ever repeat on EX.N HS, but did validate mod - I velcro'd on a mini-inflation air pump that forced outside air through hole in shell, straight onto the board. Both the EX.N HS and the Monster Pro (their giant non suspension wheel) have terrible ventilation for the board, EZ to overheat without some sort of ventilation mod. edit: just fyi, but I think those temperatures you are reporting are board temps, not motor temps. Some wheels do report both board and motor temps - motors can get pretty hot, in my limited understanding, but those temps in that 155-180 F are board temperatures.
@@guiguiteplouche i was hyped up until I saw what it is or what it isn't.....the fact it's a 60mm Suspension with no rebound dampening makes it a pogo stick and takes away so much comfort for commuting outside of maybe stairs but how many stairs do you ride a day....
I see you are using the Mini Shark Pads from Russia... what do you think of them?? I'm after a decent set of pads for my S16 Pro, and I'm considering a set of these.. any feedback would be appreciated.
they are great but my favorites are nylonove kinetic and grizzla and look almost the same. the shark pards are the most comfy but hard to get adjusted just right
Thanks for the info. I'm glad that at least one person has access to this thing, to give us some info. I want to order one but I'm an even bigger guy than you and now I'm a little concerned about the power. Do me a favor and strap a 100lb weight to your back and ride it around for a day and let me know what you think. lol
@@FunTech4Real haven't been riding long. I have a V11 And a Monster Pro. Both with a street tire. The V11 is ok in the grass but the Monster Pro is a bear. I'd like to have something specifically for riding in grass and on rougher trails. I'm not really interested in jumps or huge drops but obviously the more capable, the better. If nothing else, just to have a bigger safety margin.
@@Kay0Bot that's pretty funny, comparing this wheel to a Lynx. Yeah, if I want something with more power and didn't care about price, size, or weight, the Lynx is one of the top picks. The whole point of this is that it's more compact. That means a lot of things - in particular when I'm camping at a festival or event, it's a lot easier to keep this in my camp site. And it's a lot easier to maneuver around foot or vehicle traffic at those events.
Question should I go for a2+ with the new controller and 50s battery for $1350 Or the falcon for $1599 ? Falcon we don’t know when we will get it, but the a2+ I can get asap. Coming off a v12ht as my first wheeel and I hated how heavy it was making learning hard I’m 220lbs
Yeah, but it has more power and battery. Got a bunch of 35 degree inclines in my neighbourhood, don't know if the falcon will make it. Also, the net weight in the begode aliexpress page says it's 26 kg, net weigh means without the battery installed, with the battery pack it's probably only about 6lb lighter.
@@watapikman with those inclines, then yes S16 does very well on hills. Just my use case doesn’t require such a large motor so I’m looking for a quieter street runner
@@danoseus I did take a look, and I don't think I would buy early batches anyways. That being said, the worst problem seems to be the suspension without spacers from the factory
Not really because it's still nearly 27kg.....a V11Y is better or a T4 with just 5kg heavier but galaxies apart in basically every spec. I hoped for 20-22kg but 27-29 is just too heavy for what it is
So I have three electric unicycles now and my friends do not understand why. So I simply say this one is my Toyota Land Cruiser and this one is my Baja bug and the last one here is my Honda Civic. 😂😂
Lol people love to tell me how they'd die on it. I think they think it's cool and want to justify why they're afraid to try it. I try to tell them it's as easy as riding a bike but it's a new skill that takes time to learn.
Same as u in Michigan people act like they don't do 1000miles hr on a mini bike then see me chill setting down never crash in people will walk up in ask how many time you fall in how much even had guy trying taking may wheel out of my hand in I'm a big guy

Can you adjust the suspension? Like dampening or compression?
Well then why are you interested in the Falcon since you keep denigrating it? You really have a mental problem.
