All the reasons you mentioned on quality, water proofing, ease of disassembly and general all round safety features are all exactly why I chose this wheel as my first. High enough speed and with enough range to quench any beginners thirst, whilst not being too much that you'll end up in A&E within your first few rides. Gives me so much hope for the s20.... Speaking of...Review when? :D
I have it's little brother, a black 16S, and it has like a rubbery coating on it so nothing wants to stick to it. The 18l or 18xl are great wheels especially for a beginner who wants to start on an 18" wheel.
I have a 18xl with +5000 km and yes it's a great wheel. Great quality, ease of disassembly. Perfect speed and range for daily use. Light for his performance (25kg). Main shortages: no kickstand and the wheel is too thin to grab with your legs (I'm 1,80 m), even with additional pads at higher speed. Other secondary problems are the screws in the trolley handle. They are too much small and in time due to fatigue there are going to break or remain stuck in, when you try to remove them. So, as I did, you have to drill also the handle to remove them, of course you need a spare part. In time also due to fatigue the toothed washers that you see at 7:50 are going to damage the white plastic shell. And if you squeez too much the wheel with your legs or you fell or have a crash, the inner plastic body shell will crack where the screws with toothed washers and maximum loads are. Replace it or them means total disassembly of the wheel. You can find this wheel for 1700÷2000€ but you need to add money for the bigger pedals and the leg pads (200÷250€). And there are no specific pads for this wheel, because of his quite old conception style. So it is not sold cheap. I would buy the 16x as first wheel. This wheel has some shortages as cruiser wheel.
This is just awesome how Kingsong is using connectors for motor connection. Why I have to disconnect cables in the controller itself in Begode and Inmotion wheels in case of tire change?
It's a really decent wheel. Also pre order the S20 with wrongway code at myEwheel. Saw the S20 bottom part of board is not sealed from the outside, the power button is a plastic rod pushing a boards mounted switch and motor wires have just an open cover no strain relief.
I think eventually I’ll have to get one of these, starting g to see fellow electric riders around. I’m down for a couple weeks till my new scooter gets here.
I don´t see any changes to the old 18L regarding quality. I got a 2019 KS18L with 9000km for ~300€ which was okay, but after repairing it, I would hate myself spending almost 2000€ for a new one that prob won´t last more than 3 years due to cheap plastic parts that break easily, especially if you just started riding like me.
Another great EUC teardown (well, halfway teardown) video. Thank you Adam! Q: would you say the 18XL or the 16X is the stronger of the two? I'm considering one of these as my mid-power smaller wheel.
16x I think is known to have more torque. But I’ve heard many say that going past 24-25mph can start feeling really sketchy on the 16x. I’m a huge rider at 260lb and 18xl works great for me and have yet to get any overpower warnings even up city hills.
@@seattleraf thanks bud. I know 18xl is awesome. I had it for a few months (& sold it) before upgrading to the RS. Now I regret selling it. I'd love it if one of the EUC RUclipsrs would do a side by side comparison of the 18xl and 16x.
The difference in tire width is very noticeable. After riding other 18x3 wheels, the 18xl feels like a big rollerblade. The 16x is probably going to be the comfort choice because of the wider tire and wider stance, but it also takes off like a bullet.
@@brockeuc I’m probably the odd one out but I prefer the thinner tires. More agile, less train tracking, idk. Just more fun for me. Sadly I think the scene is going in the complete opposite direction of what I’d like, but I guess that’s where the money is (200lb wheels that can go 160mph in 3 years no doubt)
@@seattleraf I think I undersold the rollerblade feeling, it's actually amazing to carve on an 18xl. It was my first wheel and I still haven't let go of it.

Cool! Wheel hopefully there next week
Love your quality checks. Even though I don’t know about your checks, I’m learning.

ABSOLUTLY LOVE YOUR TEAR DOWN VIDEOS!!!!!!! Please do the teardown on the S20 if you get the chance! always love your content!
Don't judge me, however for the problem of stickage WRT the black shell. Just sand the areas you'd like to apply Velcro to.
You're right but you can use the roll. Nz cover and attach pads. That's what I have

I can never lock at you the same way after that 90s comedy cringe rap, I like you even more now xd just keep not giving a f, that’s why we like you
The English word for the pry-tool to take off the cover is spudger. Most people who speak English don't know that one.
Is there a word for spudger that is a guitar pick?
