Yeah it's great. I have one atm which is lent out to my brother, because his 10f is on it's second flat and he struggles finding time to do the tire changes.
V10f has a tiny weak axel, I want something light that I can jump still. Like onewheel guys are dropping 5 foot to flat and roll away, V10 would crumble, hell I wouldn't like doing that on the v12 peddle hanger would probably explode.
No one buys a V10F to jump it 5 feet... It's an awesome city commuter wheel. Probably the best one still for how much it can do for how slim it is. You can easily carry it into a bus. A refresh would be amazing.
The lowest hanging fruit for weight lowering is currently the Axial Flux motor at 1/3 volume and more than 50% weight reduction. These are currently being mass produced for both automobiles, airplanes and scooters, which is the power range needed for EUCs. Whichever manufacturer is able to design a high quality suspension wheel for beginner and intermediate riders will significantly gap the competition until they are able to catch up. Why anyone would buy a new wheel (until this is implemented) is beyond my comprehension given that the toughest competition is now coming from the high availability of low price/ high-value previously loved EUCs. Until AF motors become available, the 16x, v8/10, and 18xl are great for beginner/intermediate riders, and the v14, Lynx, Commander Mini and Sherman-S are excellent values for intermediate/advanced riders. For manufacturers, the future is clear: Go Axial Flux or Go Bankrupt.
That’s spot on. The typical DD motors are antiques. Way too heavy. My other concern is batteries. I want power but I prefer fast charging than large capacity. I use graphene RC lipo, because of their high C-Rate. They charge fast, and a small battery can deliver high power. Add battery casings designed to access quick battery swap, then they could sell it to me without the batteries. They are still far from suspension optimization. I was excited when they came up with a shock, At least we can fit a modern shock, but the linkage and sliders are very high maintenance crap. I think they should build with a front DH fork instead of a shock. Everybody seems to find a 60 lbs EUC is lightweight nowadays. I don’t. I started with a Firewheel 779 that was 32 lbs, and my dream is to come back close to that weight. Let’s say I’d spend good money for a 40 lbs performance wheel, and that’s perfectly feasible with modern technology.
There's plenty of challenges to overcome with Axial Flux (expensive manufacturing being one of them, design considerations being another), google Axial Flux challenges and you can see that it's not so easy as just switching to it.
its comparing little bit of apple to oranges. The motor in the EUCs are Hub motors. They are taking the loads through casing. Needs to be environmentally proofed. You need to control them really precisely and at 0 speed. You also have cooling needs around stall torque. Its not the same if you are really creating a single use electric machine. The euc has some very specific demands.
Yes, some challenges in implementation do exist but I believe every technical difficulty in application of AF motors to EUC will actually strengthen the utility of the wheels if systematically integrated.
@@SergioFlorentewhen I go back to my 16X after riding my master it just so zippy and maneuverable. The 16X is just such a great wheel even without suspension.
We've gotta close the gap! Even small wheels are so expensive. The Falcon price is pretty outrageous. It's cool that the E20 is there to help start people with the hobby but it just isn't practical for any more than that. I want to see everyone make their own version of the V8s.
It's kind of crazy that all the entry level wheels are old wheels as those are the ones that draw new customers. They are also more suitable to the parts of the world where wheels have legal limited top speeds.
Im sure the euc makers are also grumbling that the riders can be a bit on the heavy size but expect the euc to be powerful but lighter. Since i am currently part of the large market and want decent range and use time between chargings, im interested in the heavy duty bigger ones with the most capacity. I can always winch it into my pickup like i do with me camp generator. No sweat or injured back.
Had v12 but when had to carry up the stairs or had to put in my car decided to go back to v10f. I would be awesome if someone make something like v10f or KS16x just with suspension and easy tire change.
Darn. Grizzla doesn't appear to protect the V14 front protrusions near the front light. Crashed my V14 a month ago on one of those protruding surfaces and a corner of the cast-metal controller box broke away and bent the under-structure. Now, no longer waterproof or safe for the controller. I was hoping for front impact armor and something for the black or orange plastic side panels. Yikes!!!
@jimmux_v0 I love the way my V14 feels, but my Extreme is the better value because it costs less and can be aftermarket protected. But, 16" (technically 18") wheels are becoming older technology. With the lower magnesium weight, today's 20" wheels are hitting the sweet-spot. Fun-fact: My daughter and I raced up that dam incline at Fullerton Loop and the V14 almost always beat the Extreme, but the Extreme won almost everything else.
@@EUCme I do like the Extreme a lot. I need a bit more confidence with waterproofing, but if not I probably would have got it instead. No regrets though, the climbing ability of the V14 has served me very well.
I use a inmotion v12 for commuting to work everyday. It's fast enough light and agile. 5300 miles in 16 months. Only thing I have done with it is change the tyres twice. For fun and offloading I use my s22
I want to see a high-torque lightweight wheel like the V11 or Falcon have an extra battery option which could be put on top of the wheel to extend range. That way I can have a lightweight wheel for performance (without the pack, without the extra weight) or I can have a medium weight wheel for endurance. Some of my onewheel friends have been DIYing exactly this on their XR boards.
I like heavy EUC's. The only issue i have with them is: If they are heavy I expect big batteries, but that's not the case with most of them. I would really like to see Adventure Heavy wait EUC with huge battery.
Price is just the biggest thing for me, my last wheel (I have 3) was 1800 euro on a used shemax which I'm still riding on. Now I could today spend quite a bit more then that for a top tier euc, but when every hyped model is 3000-5000 I'm out.
I weigh a little under 140lbs and I have a lynx and I find it to be just too bulky and heavy for the most part I have a v11 in addition to it and I'm planning on selling the Lynx and getting the : V11Y to supplement it. I definitely have not been feeling the sheer weight and bulk of the bigger wheels. It's totally taken out the fun factor that eucs always had for me! I'm thinking that a wheel that's a bit above half my body weight is the sweet spot, which ends up being in that low 70lb range. It would be killer to have a wheel that had a bit over 2000wh which was just at the 70lb mark with suspension! All that being said, I like the v11 a lot because of the way it rides. It accelerates and breaks really easily it feels fairly powerful, and the battery packs are low beneath the pedals, which I think gives it a nice feeling of stability.
Yup my links was offsetting a lot. Finally I am getting used to it but smaller wheels I have way more control and at lower speeds a bully wheel is harder to control, all the crack heads jumping out of the bushes all the time gets old.
I tried the Falken and the S22 for the first time and both of them in succession. The thing I noticed more than the weight was the tire and the tire pressure can change your opinion of wheel even though it is a somewhat easy and cheaper fix. A did notice the falcon has a very nice suspension feel. I currently run strong dependent on 3000wh to make 50 mile trips every other week and that is a favorite ride of mine to a favorite town and coffee shop. The ride is spectacular bridges roads parks rivers canopy of tree cover climbs with a reward of views and very nice path. I only really want one wheel to replace my old og sherman last version. I think the V14 is one choice but a reasonable wheel with the thrill of acceleration and a suspension but it appeared to have these tiny constant bouncing motions at speed ? The commander mini looks like a savings and a good choice with savings but I have been caught in the rain with the Sherman listening to beeps maybe because water got in despite my plastic bag over the top. Ip os important. Which leaves the begode 2400wh Blitz though I would wait for a revision.
The falcon is better sure but they are definitely in the same category....the falcon is more fun but also has only 60mm travel, similar max speed and range.
I actually would prefer a falcon but the top speed kinda sucks, but it is street legal. Just starting to get used to the big eycs after quite a while. It would be nice to have both. Tire change on an mten3 is rediculous....
These look fun but I gotta go with the cargo ebike for my next transportation purchase. Maybe someday I'll have one of these as well for the sheer fun.
I think they did a great job with the Falcon, even though it is 55lbs, the small form factor and having a front and back handle makes it very easy to carry. And the small tire diameter makes it feel powerful and nimble. It just lacks range, but there's no need for it in a wheel that size. Would love to see a wheel in between the Falcon and Extreme. Smart BMS, 55mph freespin, 16x3 tubeless knobby, DS200 shock, 65-70lbs in magnesium, 1500wh, 100v-126v. It would be a T4 killer, but gotta innovate.
@@lewinwild yeah, I'm basically asking for a T4 Max that is lighter with Smart BMS. Should be doable with new materials, but that makes it a different wheel.
Been thinking about this for ages.... race specific wheels ... modular batteries.... carry enough power for 1 race at a time... drop in fresh power cells for the next heat... why not?
V11 or v11y is the best compromise for me. The only thing I dont like on it is the batterie placement. I would love to custom it, letting more clearence around the rim.
Hey Adam! Great video, love having these minutes to chill out with you haha I'd say the Begode T4 is still kinda perfect, only problem being the lack of a Smart BMS. What about the V14, won't you put it in this category too? Falcon seems amazing, I just wish it had 1500-1800Wh man haha Enjoy the ride! 🤙🏻
I think they are listening because ive been asking for a heavy uni-motorcycle that can comfortably cruise at 60mph with 22+ inch wheel for a while now and it seems i may finaly get it. Light for off-road heavy for cruiser
I love the V14, but sometimes I miss the playfulness of my old S18. If they release a V14 mini that somehow drops 5kg with a slightly smaller battery and maybe even lighter motor, I would be very tempted. Even better if they can learn from LeaperKim and do it with lighter materials.
@@jimmux_v0 yeah unfortunately, you have to 3d print dummy batteries to fill in the empty spots. I'm sure they don't sell skinnier packs, which would be nice.
I love my Begode RS 19 HS for street and daily riding. It's compact, powerful, with enough battery and under 30kg. When it will break, I don't know what wheel can replace it.
I've bought s16 PRO as my first wheel. Perfect for commuting, 30-40km rides and light off-road. I'm close to 1000km with no major problems. Once the mosfet overheated and the pedal lock bracket came loose.
I went for the kingsong s18 despite is age purely for low weight and suspension. As a fairly small, weak person, I still pulled a muscle lifting it into a car trunk. I want something modern that's even lighter
Got a MasterV4 a couple months ago. I only ride it on my 14 mile work commute or going to a friend's house that's a few miles away over pothole laden roads where I have a place to park it and don't have to carry it up or down stairs. Otherwise, I ride my V10f, which is far more enjoyable, and far easier to deal with if I'm stopping in anywhere.
I feel like the Begode A2+ is kinda the best available for a new, small , inexpensive no suspension wheel. None of the other companies have come out with something like that. The falcon though is a nice upgrade from that for not alot more.
One reason Im not looking at larger/heavier wheels than s22 myself is in part because I have had a persistant tennis+golf elbow since 2 years ago, dont fancy lifting/handling bulky/chunky wheels :/
It's very uncomfortable, almost not doable without the seat. It's designed in a way that the light is still visible. In this video my light was disconnected (error during maintenance)
I hope we get to see the 70mph suspension wheel with no worry of a cutout when putting it through its paces before we have laws and restrictions in the states here. As far as weight, size, etc. Horses for courses. Street/Trail/Eco Have a few types in each category and let's go. Modular builds. Factory performance parts- mix and match, upgrades. I think we are ready for next chapter of euc evolution. Oh and tires (all tires)...cross-section (tire width)/ratio (tire height)/rim diameter for the Love of God.
The begode falcon is a small brother of ks-s18, which I think is the better option than the falcon. You can buy used s18 for 1000 dollars and just swap the batteries to Samsung 50s. That's it, you got the better version of falcon
Swapping batteries is not going to give you much other than better reliability. Old wheels need firmware updates to really take advantage of the 50s power delivery capabilities etc which you are not going to get from just throwing them in an old wheel. The s18 also looks like ass and all the plastic fairings just break off when dropping it
I'm wanting to see EUCs come out with an interface where developers/hackers can tap into (like CAN bus) so we can make HUDs within helmets etc. the more and more come out with easy to plug in interface, the more addition accessories we can see coming out
I still use the good old Kingsong 16x with 24 kg and I would like the new unicycles to have some lightweight options, I don't like big and heavy unicycles.
I have to say that I still love my 100v MSX, 1230wh version. Even though it has 12000+ miles on it, it still performs great! It's now my commuter wheel, with my Lynx for longer/faster rides
Now got 4300 km on my begode extreme no maintaince en still the same outher tire.🎉 My first euc ever since feb 2 this year. Blitz is better? Like to refresh the wheel and thinking of getting a extreme again. Ps i do jumps,drive hard at single tracks en do big drops. Only off road
The Only wheel I’ve ever ridden is my CP 50s so I have nothing to compare it too and I love it and it feels great for power and range. Maybe I’ll get another wheel this coming year. Cheers
Thnx for video! V14 50S is my one love. Cool dynamic after V11. Yes. its weight 40 kg, but in comparison to v11 feels more lighter then 27 kg V11 cause of incredible power and 16 inch diameter
Hey WrongWay, thanks for the content. I am new to EUC and currently ride a V12HT, but want to buy either a Lynx or an ET Max. I ride 95% street and some trails here and there, and so I was leaning towards the Max. Since you have ridden both, are you able to recommend one over the other for me? THey are very expensive, and i have no friends who ride so it is hard for me to get opinions of experienced riders. Thanks, and thanks again for all your content!
Good to hear at least an intention of small... I learned on a V8F and that's technically heftable into a car. Now I've resigned myself to always riding an S18 because that's as heavy as I can go. I've hurt myself plenty of times carrying it up and down stairs and over fallen trees so something like an S19 is... Godzilla. We're getting to the era where you can literally buy folding motorcycle ramps for loading your EUC into a car, wtf... may as well just get a Surron at that point since mobility is gone. I need to make a new spreadsheet crunching weights and from there maybe see if anything on the market looks good yet. Honestly, I could just stick with an S18 permanently since they're all tanks comparatively when it comes to offroad suspension EUCs.
If you want to take it grocery shopping - 1000%. The V12 has a hidden feature. The thin trolley handle is perfect to hang your full face helmet on. Helmet hangs on the front of the V12 with the chinguard around the handle. Invaluable when you enter a supermarket. One drawback is the front and rear lights that both need intervention after purchase. The front lowbeam light just need to be cutoff with some black tape, to prevent it from blinding everyone in front. I use a piece of carbon fiber protective film cut to shape. Looks neat. The rear lights however is so dark it needs to have holes drilled through the light cover panel and then cover the holes with clear protective film. Need a drill. I used 2, 4, 6, 9 mm drill bits to get the perfect 9 mm holes. Ten holes per side with about 11 mm between them. Just put masking tape on the transparent part of the panel and you can measure and draw on the tape, and then drill through the tape. Recommend to disassemble the wheel to remove the panel before you drill. The reward you get is a wheel that have absolutely SICK rear lights. Best on the market.
hi I know you have some pull in the EUC world! Can you suggest that someone makes plates that stick to the bottom so I can grind without messing up the screws/metal down there? It will be a game changer. See the video of a street rail grind on my channel
Should definitely get the extremebull x max if you can find one. Really liked the look of this wheel and would of got one just for the looks alone but my Knees thank me that i got a suspension wheel 😂
Hi Adam, cooles Video und cooler Helm. Leider sieht man dein Gesicht nicht. Was war die längste Strecke die du an einem Tag zurück gelegt hast? Mit schnelles aufladen der 🔋 in den Pausen.
Looks cool but read the chin bar is not a chin bar but a thin bit of plastic attached to the bottom of the visor. Not going to help you in a face plant.
I keep telling people.. The most a wheel should weight is around a 100 pounds at the most. I think we'll get our wish of lighter wheels, yet able to do long distance, as the energy density of batteries increase. My guess is that we'll get twice the energy density within 3 years.
I dont like how it dips, but I did come from the small wheels. For long cruses it is nice. Euc beat every scooter I ever had. Those things die faster than they go.
The big weight savings will come with next gen batteries with higher energy density. There's only so much weight they can cut outside of the packs. Imagine if the battery packs shaved 20% of their weight and dimensions, about 5-6 kg from the wheel, with a lower center of gravity. Throw in the possibility for new chemistries that are incapable of starting on fire, such as solid state, or significantly less likely, such as high energy density LFP cells. Add in that some of these cell chemistries will actually be cheaper to manufacture because of less high priced metals like Nickel and Cobalt, or possibly less or no Lithium. EUC OEMs have been listening to the community a ton on their higher end wheels; now we just need some revised lower end wheels with some of this new tech. I think we have to remember that these aren't large / rich OEMs. It takes them time to develop and refine tech and design better products, to source new metals and setup manufacturing contracts. It also takes time to grow the customer base of those willing spend more on higher tech wheels with better materials. What I would give for a super light weight 30 mph wheel with suspension and a smart BMS, and redundancies to avoid board / fuse / hall sensor related cutouts. The suspension doesn't even need to be great.
Its a no brainer: the V8S !!! $699, no tax, free shipping. I put 3,400 miles on it in last 14 months. Glorious miles 🤗. .... V14 !!! $2,999. Purchased last month. I hav 440 miles on it. Portability ? El crappo 😁. Not really pleased w performance either. (Btw: Sport mode, 100% hardness, 50% acc assist, 100% braking assist). Carves poorly w stock tire at all pressures. Does not stop worth a damn (stock pads). Sorta stops at 100% assist. But "assist" comes w a delay.. A DELAY !! Wtf. Why does it do that braking ?? Accelerating, yeah. Braking? Clueless firmware. Certainly rules offroad though 👍. Does brake well on death steep dirt descents. Pedestrian suddenly jump out in front of u? Think of a car that needs u to "prepare": brace your body, use both feet on the brake pedal, wait out the braking assist until it gathers steam... By then u just broke a pedestrians lower legs. Anyway, i just ordered the kenda 241. Hopefully that will work miracles. Ongoing. Will advise.. V8S for the price, portability, fun factor, home depot aisle cruising 🙂, and deft padless performance it just rocks. Yes it can climb any asphalt hill easily: cause u carve radically as u climb. What a good & useful wheel.
Bro I have the ET max as long of EUC the falcon which is my pocket rocket with suspension and the exn hs which is a powerhouse performance wheel with speakers and weighs 33kg... Notice how they're all begodes. 😊😊😊😊😊
Interesting idea. Ive never seen such a thing as speed limits on bike paths. Ive achieved just over 40 mph on my bike and nobody ever even looked at me.
I got a kingsong S18. It was heavy to me @ first. But then I bought the V13. After that when I try the Kingsong S18, I think it is too light for me(145lb). It make me feel like I being blow away when I catch a strong wind. I think 70-90lb is a comfortable weight and feel more stable.
@AJames-jr8kw Solids don't require a valve because the tyre is solid and does not require air. Tho a locking bolt could go through the valve hole to prevent tyre from spinning on rim under load.
I'd love to see a refresh / re-design of the in motion v10f. keep the durability. add a bms and make it easier to change the tire.
Yeah it's great. I have one atm which is lent out to my brother, because his 10f is on it's second flat and he struggles finding time to do the tire changes.
That would be great, unfortunately is E25 is vastly underpowered, even compared to the v10f.
More durable v11 not crappy v10f
V10f has a tiny weak axel, I want something light that I can jump still. Like onewheel guys are dropping 5 foot to flat and roll away, V10 would crumble, hell I wouldn't like doing that on the v12 peddle hanger would probably explode.

I currently run strong dependent on 3000wh to make 50 mile trips every other week and that is a favorite ride of mine to a favorite town and coffee shop. The ride is spectacular bridges roads parks rivers canopy of tree cover climbs with a reward of views and very nice path. I only really want one wheel to replace my old og sherman last version. I think the V14 is one choice but a reasonable wheel with the thrill of acceleration and a suspension but it appeared to have these tiny constant bouncing motions at speed ? The commander mini looks like a savings and a good choice with savings but I have been caught in the rain with the Sherman listening to beeps maybe because water got in despite my plastic bag over the top. Ip os important. Which leaves the begode 2400wh Blitz though I would wait for a revision.
e25 is not a Falcon competitor. It has less battery and much less power. e25 is pure commuter, Falcon is "fun around the block".
The falcon is better sure but they are definitely in the same category....the falcon is more fun but also has only 60mm travel, similar max speed and range.
I actually would prefer a falcon but the top speed kinda sucks, but it is street legal. Just starting to get used to the big eycs after quite a while. It would be nice to have both. Tire change on an mten3 is rediculous....
Yeah, I think the better comparison is the V11Y. About 70lbs, 30mph, 45 or so miles of range.
What about the V11Y? It’s the same price as the Begode Eagle and still pretty light.
Pain to work on, not comfy suspension. Not a fan of that wheel but plenty of people are :)
I'd love a 100V Nikola with 50S batteries, smart BMS and hollow bore motor.
Hell yeah!
These look fun but I gotta go with the cargo ebike for my next transportation purchase. Maybe someday I'll have one of these as well for the sheer fun.
Cargo bikes are sick! Have fun!
@mr_wrongway Thanks dude, be well :)
I think they did a great job with the Falcon, even though it is 55lbs, the small form factor and having a front and back handle makes it very easy to carry. And the small tire diameter makes it feel powerful and nimble. It just lacks range, but there's no need for it in a wheel that size.
Would love to see a wheel in between the Falcon and Extreme. Smart BMS, 55mph freespin, 16x3 tubeless knobby, DS200 shock, 65-70lbs in magnesium, 1500wh, 100v-126v. It would be a T4 killer, but gotta innovate.
honestly I'd take a T4 with water resistance
oh & smart BMS
Besides voltage that's literally an S16 pro
@@lewinwild yeah, I'm basically asking for a T4 Max that is lighter with Smart BMS. Should be doable with new materials, but that makes it a different wheel.
@@Elonox-m1oI was looking at the S16 Pro before getting the Falcon and the 84v and 72lbs were my reasons to pass on it.
Been thinking about this for ages.... race specific wheels ... modular batteries.... carry enough power for 1 race at a time... drop in fresh power cells for the next heat... why not?
V11 or v11y is the best compromise for me. The only thing I dont like on it is the batterie placement. I would love to custom it, letting more clearence around the rim.
Hey Adam! Great video, love having these minutes to chill out with you haha I'd say the Begode T4 is still kinda perfect, only problem being the lack of a Smart BMS. What about the V14, won't you put it in this category too? Falcon seems amazing, I just wish it had 1500-1800Wh man haha Enjoy the ride! 🤙🏻
Good form factor just needs more upgrades.
Every WW video is articulate, informing, and interesting. Thanks, Adam.
Cheers!
I think they are listening because ive been asking for a heavy uni-motorcycle that can comfortably cruise at 60mph with 22+ inch wheel for a while now and it seems i may finaly get it. Light for off-road heavy for cruiser
YAY, a lighter upgraded patton is what I have been hoping for 🤩
I love the V14, but sometimes I miss the playfulness of my old S18. If they release a V14 mini that somehow drops 5kg with a slightly smaller battery and maybe even lighter motor, I would be very tempted. Even better if they can learn from LeaperKim and do it with lighter materials.
@@jimmux_v0 V14 50s two battery mode. Supported by manufacturer. Half the range, more than 5kg lighter
I gotta check out this mode!
@@s0d4c4n Half the range might be too much of a sacrifice. I should have added, a slightly narrower body would be a nice bonus.
@@jimmux_v0 yeah unfortunately, you have to 3d print dummy batteries to fill in the empty spots. I'm sure they don't sell skinnier packs, which would be nice.
@@mr_wrongway I would love your thoughts on it if you do!
I love my Begode RS 19 HS for street and daily riding. It's compact, powerful, with enough battery and under 30kg. When it will break, I don't know what wheel can replace it.
Omg yes thank u so much for talking about no suspension wheels I want a modern one so bad
I would just like the Falcon to be cheaper and not come with the integrated side pads. Just gimme flat panels with velcro.
Seems a lot of people dont like the pads. Grizzla rocks.
I find the Lynx the best balance of weight handling and range...I want a backup wheel but just cant find anything like it yet
Ya I ride for hours and so far only got it down to 78% very impresive. My mten3 dies at like 35 minutes now but I torch the hell out of it.
I've bought s16 PRO as my first wheel. Perfect for commuting, 30-40km rides and light off-road. I'm close to 1000km with no major problems. Once the mosfet overheated and the pedal lock bracket came loose.
I went for the kingsong s18 despite is age purely for low weight and suspension. As a fairly small, weak person, I still pulled a muscle lifting it into a car trunk. I want something modern that's even lighter
Got a MasterV4 a couple months ago. I only ride it on my 14 mile work commute or going to a friend's house that's a few miles away over pothole laden roads where I have a place to park it and don't have to carry it up or down stairs. Otherwise, I ride my V10f, which is far more enjoyable, and far easier to deal with if I'm stopping in anywhere.
I feel like the Begode A2+ is kinda the best available for a new, small , inexpensive no suspension wheel. None of the other companies have come out with something like that. The falcon though is a nice upgrade from that for not alot more.
hello! Interesting thoughts! Will you be doing a new review on your v14?
Yes sir! Hopefully next week
@ it’s great! ♥️
Using elastomers could minimize the vibrations for commuters, but for performance i think suspension travel matters.
One reason Im not looking at larger/heavier wheels than s22 myself is in part because I have had a persistant tennis+golf elbow since 2 years ago, dont fancy lifting/handling bulky/chunky wheels :/
Can you sit on the V14 without the seat? Isn't the seat blocking the tail light?
It's very uncomfortable, almost not doable without the seat. It's designed in a way that the light is still visible. In this video my light was disconnected (error during maintenance)
I hope we get to see the 70mph suspension wheel with no worry of a cutout when putting it through its paces before we have laws and restrictions in the states here.
As far as weight, size, etc.
Horses for courses. Street/Trail/Eco
Have a few types in each category and let's go. Modular builds. Factory performance parts- mix and match, upgrades.
I think we are ready for next chapter of euc evolution.
Oh and tires (all tires)...cross-section (tire width)/ratio (tire height)/rim diameter for the Love of God.
The begode falcon is a small brother of ks-s18, which I think is the better option than the falcon.
You can buy used s18 for 1000 dollars and just swap the batteries to Samsung 50s. That's it, you got the better version of falcon
Swapping batteries is not going to give you much other than better reliability.
Old wheels need firmware updates to really take advantage of the 50s power delivery capabilities etc which you are not going to get from just throwing them in an old wheel.
The s18 also looks like ass and all the plastic fairings just break off when dropping it
I'm wanting to see EUCs come out with an interface where developers/hackers can tap into (like CAN bus) so we can make HUDs within helmets etc. the more and more come out with easy to plug in interface, the more addition accessories we can see coming out
We need VESC wheels!
I still use the good old Kingsong 16x with 24 kg and I would like the new unicycles to have some lightweight options, I don't like big and heavy unicycles.
I have to say that I still love my 100v MSX, 1230wh version. Even though it has 12000+ miles on it, it still performs great! It's now my commuter wheel, with my Lynx for longer/faster rides
What do you think about the inmotion models instead of leaperkim as far as their apparently smaller and lighter battery?
I'm eagerly waiting for the E25 :)
Now got 4300 km on my begode extreme no maintaince en still the same outher tire.🎉 My first euc ever since feb 2 this year. Blitz is better? Like to refresh the wheel and thinking of getting a extreme again. Ps i do jumps,drive hard at single tracks en do big drops. Only off road
love your work
Thanks! Love that you're watching!
The Only wheel I’ve ever ridden is my CP 50s so I have nothing to compare it too and I love it and it feels great for power and range. Maybe I’ll get another wheel this coming year. Cheers
Thnx for video! V14 50S is my one love. Cool dynamic after V11. Yes. its weight 40 kg, but in comparison to v11 feels more lighter then 27 kg V11 cause of incredible power and 16 inch diameter
So is this commuter performance light wheel without suspension, a preliminary description for your Begode collab wheel? Sounds great!
I love my S19 for cruising. My Ex30 is just so heavy.
Amazing rider

Thanks WW
Cheers Roger!!! Likewise!
I'm definitely still waiting for a nice taller light town cruiser like a manual unicycle. Tall rim with a light motor
I understand taller, but the falcon is super fun for a town cruiser. I love it.
@@boblatkey7160 I definitely have my eye on the falcon, but I'm also waiting to see a teardown of the e25.
tall rim with light motor is not really a good combo. the larger the wheel the more power you need

Hey WrongWay, thanks for the content. I am new to EUC and currently ride a V12HT, but want to buy either a Lynx or an ET Max. I ride 95% street and some trails here and there, and so I was leaning towards the Max. Since you have ridden both, are you able to recommend one over the other for me? THey are very expensive, and i have no friends who ride so it is hard for me to get opinions of experienced riders. Thanks, and thanks again for all your content!
Good to hear at least an intention of small... I learned on a V8F and that's technically heftable into a car. Now I've resigned myself to always riding an S18 because that's as heavy as I can go. I've hurt myself plenty of times carrying it up and down stairs and over fallen trees so something like an S19 is... Godzilla. We're getting to the era where you can literally buy folding motorcycle ramps for loading your EUC into a car, wtf... may as well just get a Surron at that point since mobility is gone.
I need to make a new spreadsheet crunching weights and from there maybe see if anything on the market looks good yet. Honestly, I could just stick with an S18 permanently since they're all tanks comparatively when it comes to offroad suspension EUCs.
The RS is my first and only wheel so far, and it has been amazing! Saving for an upgrade sometime next year but probably will never get ride of my RS.
Is the v12 a good option in 2024 if you don't plan on going on off road tracks? (Wouldn't need a super strong axle)
If you want to take it grocery shopping - 1000%.
The V12 has a hidden feature. The thin trolley handle is perfect to hang your full face helmet on. Helmet hangs on the front of the V12 with the chinguard around the handle. Invaluable when you enter a supermarket.
One drawback is the front and rear lights that both need intervention after purchase. The front lowbeam light just need to be cutoff with some black tape, to prevent it from blinding everyone in front. I use a piece of carbon fiber protective film cut to shape. Looks neat.
The rear lights however is so dark it needs to have holes drilled through the light cover panel and then cover the holes with clear protective film. Need a drill. I used 2, 4, 6, 9 mm drill bits to get the perfect 9 mm holes. Ten holes per side with about 11 mm between them. Just put masking tape on the transparent part of the panel and you can measure and draw on the tape, and then drill through the tape. Recommend to disassemble the wheel to remove the panel before you drill.
The reward you get is a wheel that have absolutely SICK rear lights. Best on the market.
Please tell me you have something to do with that “A1” video I’ve seen 🤞🤞 I love the squared off flat look and 84V is perfect for its size
Weight.....wait.....WRONG WAY
!!!
@mr_wrongway I love u dude you're awesome 😎
hi I know you have some pull in the EUC world! Can you suggest that someone makes plates that stick to the bottom so I can grind without messing up the screws/metal down there? It will be a game changer. See the video of a street rail grind on my channel
Should definitely get the extremebull x max if you can find one. Really liked the look of this wheel and would of got one just for the looks alone but my Knees thank me that i got a suspension wheel 😂
the t4 just needs to get a 3500w motor and an option with no suspension and its perfect
I'd love more commuter level products with the ability to handle some basic curb hops, but not do BMX trick courses.
It's a falcon maybe?
Hi Adam, cooles Video und cooler Helm. Leider sieht man dein Gesicht nicht.
Was war die längste Strecke die du an einem Tag zurück gelegt hast? Mit schnelles aufladen der 🔋 in den Pausen.
Link to helmet🙏🏽 it looks 💪🏽
Looks cool but read the chin bar is not a chin bar but a thin bit of plastic attached to the bottom of the visor. Not going to help you in a face plant.
I keep telling people.. The most a wheel should weight is around a 100 pounds at the most.
I think we'll get our wish of lighter wheels, yet able to do long distance, as the energy density of batteries increase.
My guess is that we'll get twice the energy density within 3 years.
S18 Pro+ with updated 50s cells, how bore motor, new motherboard, 25kg!!
I'll probably test it at some point :)
I want an s18 with
Higher voltage
Composit construction
60km top speed
Off-road tire
Water proof
BMS
..what am I forgetting?
12:31 "1500 IKEA Hotdogs"🤣
I like my Begode Master V4, its the perfect weight.
I dont like how it dips, but I did come from the small wheels. For long cruses it is nice. Euc beat every scooter I ever had. Those things die faster than they go.
do u think that a few kilos less of KS-18L over KS-18XL is a notable advantage?🤔
Yes. That's why I prefer the L. Layout of the batteries is also tidier
Have u tried running the v14 with only 2 batteries?
Great point! I didn't yet!
@mr_wrongway I want to see a c32 motor RS with 2024 tech in the future. I'm counting on you!!
They should sell the v14 in this configuration. I bet it would be popular.
The big weight savings will come with next gen batteries with higher energy density. There's only so much weight they can cut outside of the packs. Imagine if the battery packs shaved 20% of their weight and dimensions, about 5-6 kg from the wheel, with a lower center of gravity.
Throw in the possibility for new chemistries that are incapable of starting on fire, such as solid state, or significantly less likely, such as high energy density LFP cells. Add in that some of these cell chemistries will actually be cheaper to manufacture because of less high priced metals like Nickel and Cobalt, or possibly less or no Lithium.
EUC OEMs have been listening to the community a ton on their higher end wheels; now we just need some revised lower end wheels with some of this new tech. I think we have to remember that these aren't large / rich OEMs. It takes them time to develop and refine tech and design better products, to source new metals and setup manufacturing contracts. It also takes time to grow the customer base of those willing spend more on higher tech wheels with better materials.
What I would give for a super light weight 30 mph wheel with suspension and a smart BMS, and redundancies to avoid board / fuse / hall sensor related cutouts. The suspension doesn't even need to be great.
KS s18 remains the lightweight champ in 2024.
20kg
2200W
1100Wh
Suspension
Is the lighter xway comparable to the blitz?
It has a 2lg heavier c38. I didn't try it but I'd doubt that it feels as responsive

Its a no brainer: the V8S !!! $699, no tax, free shipping. I put 3,400 miles on it in last 14 months. Glorious miles 🤗.
....
V14 !!! $2,999. Purchased last month. I hav 440 miles on it. Portability ? El crappo 😁. Not really pleased w performance either. (Btw: Sport mode, 100% hardness, 50% acc assist, 100% braking assist). Carves poorly w stock tire at all pressures. Does not stop worth a damn (stock pads). Sorta stops at 100% assist. But "assist" comes w a delay.. A DELAY !! Wtf. Why does it do that braking ?? Accelerating, yeah. Braking? Clueless firmware. Certainly rules offroad though 👍. Does brake well on death steep dirt descents. Pedestrian suddenly jump out in front of u? Think of a car that needs u to "prepare": brace your body, use both feet on the brake pedal, wait out the braking assist until it gathers steam... By then u just broke a pedestrians lower legs.
Anyway, i just ordered the kenda 241. Hopefully that will work miracles. Ongoing. Will advise..
V8S for the price, portability, fun factor, home depot aisle cruising 🙂, and deft padless performance it just rocks. Yes it can climb any asphalt hill easily: cause u carve radically as u climb. What a good & useful wheel.
Bro I have the ET max as long of EUC the falcon which is my pocket rocket with suspension and the exn hs which is a powerhouse performance wheel with speakers and weighs 33kg... Notice how they're all begodes. 😊😊😊😊😊
Begode , do Nikola Pro with smart BMS , and 2400 Wh battery, no suspension needed
nice helmet! what is it? also, thanks for all the great content! = )
Caberg Ghost :) you're welcome and thanks for watching!
i've read that the chin bar is thin plastic and wont help in a face plant. Like TSG, looking good is their selling point. Protection, not so much.
hi , what is the model of ur helmet please ?

Pretty sure the speeds in the video are illegal on bike paths and sidewalks.
Interesting idea. Ive never seen such a thing as speed limits on bike paths. Ive achieved just over 40 mph on my bike and nobody ever even looked at me.
60-70 lbs is the sweetspot for a daily wheel imo
Really? I mean my only wheel is 73lbs so I don't have a good reference but I think if my wheel was like 35-50lbs I'd be much happier
More like 30lbs for an average european city
I got a kingsong S18. It was heavy to me @ first. But then I bought the V13. After that when I try the Kingsong S18, I think it is too light for me(145lb). It make me feel like I being blow away when I catch a strong wind. I think 70-90lb is a comfortable weight and feel more stable.
Yeah. State light weight EUC then complain about the range because of less battery. Think first
What about Mosfet apex?
Too heavy for this video :)
Yo! That helmet is dope! What is it?
It's a Caberg Ghost :)
@ It looks great! Room for glasses too... thanks for replying 🙏🏻😊
The chin bar is actually a semi-soft vinyl "bug guard" that wont offer face plant protection.

Solid tyre options.
Do you screw the valve nut down to the rim?
@AJames-jr8kw Solids don't require a valve because the tyre is solid and does not require air. Tho a locking bolt could go through the valve hole to prevent tyre from spinning on rim under load.
Can I get a sub 50lb wheel 25mph top BUT with 50miles of those 50miles 30miles is at 25mph. Also suspension...😅
Are you gonna push the begode wrong way edition in that direction ? 😏
