Thanks Adam, it does look good . And I agree, I think it hits a sweet spot. The internet gives the impression that everyone wants a 50+ Kg wheel that cruises at 80km/h for at least 200 kms… and in America, bigger is always better! …..but I honestly don’t think that’s what most riders want…. Any wheel over 35 Kg starts to become a little difficult to live with, it’s no longer micro mobility. Hopefully the manufacturers will start to cater for Mr Average a little more. The Ks 19 & 16 both look interesting, as does the Inmo Adventure. Nice vid as always…thanks!👍
0 seconds ago Maybe assuming that most want bigger wheels may not be accurate once they have and struggle with them, it certainly is correct to say that most want bigger. Like food portions for example. Much of that gets wasted yet people dont go to restaurants that serve 'normal' or reduced portions. I do prefer a larger battery simply because it lets me be out longer without worrying about the gas guage. While i do not favor insane speed, i do like the range a bigger battery affords.
Got the S19 and I love it so far. Final version changes: - no weird glued rubber on the handle - seat is included and is pretty good - no alarm was set up when I received the wheel - kill switch only activates on the left side, so if you hold it on the right side, it won't kill the wheel. I got used to it pretty fast. Can't wait to turn off / tune down the crazy leds thou 😄
Bought it, (First batch, first time), received and loved it. Perfect match between s18 and 18XL. Impressively sweet Power (going to 35km/h as nothing) Thanx KS.
I have had mine for two weeks now. I am a newbie and I am loving it. Just taking time to learn and build up my leg muscle. LOVE MY S19. Your reviews and content are what persuaded me to finally buy an Euc. Thank you!!
You’re a REAL newbie? This is your first wheel? I’d would be afraid of the learning crashes. Did you add a lot of bumpers to save the s19? The s19 or s16 is on my newbie radar, but i was sort of hoping for neoprene rash protection cover. I’m a buy once, crash once, & keep it type, so a wheel to grow into is my interest rather than a learning garage full of euc’s.
I absolutely love the look of this wheel. Thanks for your first impressions, nit picks will not deter from this and I feel as excited as you do. Can’t wait to get myself one. Cheers Adam.
As always it was a joy listening to you man 💪😎 Oh and the ride... Them skills - one legged up the stairs????? Backwards down the stairs???? Crazy... ✌😉
I've got one on the way from china. I got Batch 2 with coil shock and road tyre. I'm currently riding a Kingsong 16s (with 420wh battery) which was great for learning how to ride, but now I want more range and suspension so I can do 25-30 mile rides and do a bit of offroad.
That's a beautiful wheel. It would be great for night rides with all of those LED's. I wish more EUC's would integrate lights like that to improve night time visibility. The pads would be a deal breaker for me for the same reason that I hate the InMotion V11 brand pads. It's the one-size-fits-all approach, which generally makes no one happy. The KS19 shell is worse than the V11 though I think because while you can use a fairing on the V11, the front curve on the S19 looks like it would prevent that, so you're pretty much stuck with sloppy fitting pads. I agree that the speaker would need to move. That could very well be a deal breaker for me as I find the brake pads more important than the acceleration pads (at least on my V11.) I'm curious how hard the wheel is to do a tire change. It will be interesting to see down the road when you switch out the tire, so please let us know then. I absolutely LOVE the direction InMotion is starting to go with that with the V14, and I hope that other manufacturers take note. The settable charging limit is a great built-in feature. I wish others would do the same! Way to go KS! The alarm is also a very nice touch.
Nice Broski looks like fun a bit weak on the pads set up but all around a music cruiser with suspension and a light show.Perfect for being the life of the party 🥳 Thanks Adam
Good review, and as expected will be a whole lot better with fuller ride, durability, and the famous internals look. I’m not an euc rider but this wheel seems perfectly suit my needs for urban riding except the speakers hitting the ankles, 33 kg (under 31 kg would be helpful) carrying up staircases to my 2nd flr apt, a little pad adjustability (shoe toe area), and foot plate angle. Moving to europe next year, and the s16 or 2nd generation of the s19 will be on my radar.
Seems like a nice middle alternative for a lot of people but also seems like a nightmare to work on with all the plastic parts potentially breaking when taking it apart. :/
Thank you for the vid. I've had a few wheel over the years, but I don't really enjoy suspension wheels. Love carving too much:) My old Sherman and 18XL are still the wheels I enjoy most. Are there any non-suspension wheels with safe BMS in the pipelines? Loved the charging feature on this wheel, but not the pads and speaker. Doesn't look like a good wheel for a tall person with big feet:)
Thanks for review! I see KS wanted to have successor of S18. Im not the greatest fan of this wheel because of sacrificing weight. For me it should have small, 50S bettery which would allow to crank up a little bit performance without rising the weight. S18 was perfect shopping, trick, and lightweight jumping wheel. This is 32 kilos party box. Literally i don't see place in the market for this. 🤔
That's what I was thinking.. but I don't really care for how my v12ht jumps, maybe I need more practice but it just feels kinda wonky sometimes like the pedals will dip a little but then that will be the neutral position in the air. Maybe it's just my v12 but I know Adam had a lot of issues with his too.
You found that the pads were annoying when you were riding and restrictive when trying to do slow sharp turns. So what will it be like when wearing knee and shin guards ?
I am intrigued what firmware yours is on, I was convinced mine did NOT have a beeper and only the speakers because the several times I overpowered and overheated mine all it made was crappy VERY low toned sounds from the speaker that you can not hear above 20mph...
WW, do you thing the e-rides wolverine pedals (with the cutouts) would be a better upgrade to the oem pedals to prevent pedal bumping the front side fairings?
@@mr_wrongway ok, a feature ks didn’t think necessary. By the way, how long before you test another boring (aka a non-performance) commuting scooter (aka the s16)? I heard a coming s16pro may be more apropos for you. SORRY i forgot to elaborate, boring was not a critic. My interests is in a ride so boring you would enjoy its smooth ride and enjoy the scenery, and the uneventful durability.
I get far more smiles from pedestrians riding my S19 than my EX30. It is a far less intimidating looking wheel. If we all rode KS wheels instead of Begode and Veteran wheels we would be far less likely to be banned. I love riding my EX30 but the price we may pay going 80 Kph is being banned.
{tl;dr. Wish I could be more supportive.} I'm wondering if the motor cable wire covering coil has been changed from that cheap chrome that almost instantly rusted to a stainless material that might cost $1 more? I also wonder if the roller-slider bearing have been made marine grade waterproof with better urethane donuts, or if their still IKEA grade garbage? Either way, I despise that KS continues to propagate this design flaw to all of its suspension models. These roller-sliders may be appropriate for an kid's mTen3-style 12" tire on a kid's toy but is otherwise completely unserious. I am noticing that no one seems to want to be the first to do a "tear down" video... who wants to reveal more hot trash? I feel sorry for the engineers, who seem woefully underfunded but I feel worse for the riders whom will make the mistake of buying any KingSong suspension wheel. When will KS stop pooping on itself?
What do you mean? They moved away from the ikea fastners on the suspension like the s22 to a nearby hardware store supplier.... well worth the money tippity top in build and quality. Screams finished product.
It's fugly, IMO. The S18 will probably always be the best looking wheel and I really love riding mine. I am short, so even if I did want the S19, the integrated pads probably would not work out for me. KS seems to keep dropping the ball at a time when the other companies have great offerings.
@@jmc000 Begode is a performance wheel; power without safety. Customisation. KS is a toy/play wheel. It's reliable if you’re careful and treat it right. IM & LK are the best commuters and all-rounders. IM wins for their IP rating and customer support.
@@sebgroActually all manufacturers got some type of issues. And never buy first batch wheels. I was fan of KS but recent issues with batteries and customer support leaves lots to wish for when you spend that money on the product.
Thanks Adam. Great video! But can you please not promote that “max charge” function? It’s not new. It has been on s22 from the beginning. And please do not use it! It simply kills the battery 🪫
The issue is that no matter what settings you set, balancing will always be at 100%. So any setting that is not 100 - disables battery balancing completely. There is no physical way on that bms to customize balancing voltage
Hey thanks for the comment! I didn’t know it was on the s22 pro as well. Well with the lower charge you can check on smart bms everything’s alright and charge to 100% every 5-10 charges! I’ll make sure to add some info in later vids :)

So many wheels without LEDs lol I feel like the LEDs are like the main feature with this one??
@@flowsolo main feature is the great balance of weight & power
how do you like it now? I am just starting and cant decide between this or V11y.
Does it really include seat now? Can't find anywhere a photo of s19 with a seat
With the new update you can now change kill switch activation to a double click on the power button. Also the LED bar can now be turned off.
Bought it, (First batch, first time), received and loved it. Perfect match between s18 and 18XL.
Impressively sweet Power (going to 35km/h as nothing)
Thanx KS.
did you put some foam on the speaker so it doesn't dig into the back of your leg?

One asks, do you get to 60 km/h okay?, do you have tilt back at 60?, do you feel comfortable?
@yanassi
don't have to buy flash bumpers, just cut some foam to shape and stick it on with double sided tape
I absolutely love the look of this wheel. Thanks for your first impressions, nit picks will not deter from this and I feel as excited as you do. Can’t wait to get myself one. Cheers Adam.

Thanks. Very detailed review. Lots of features but also lots of $$.
Great video. I have V12HT with 5400km on the clock. The wheel is still rock solid. I highly doubt that S19 will be in one piece after so many km 😂
Awesome 😎 thanks brother!!🙏

Dont forget abot the PITA that fasteners can be when you drop them and they warp out the area and are never found.

Will there be a extreme review?
Og course!
Thanks for review! I see KS wanted to have successor of S18.

Hi, what would you chose for mixed city/offroad riding S19 or V14?
26:14 The dog attack 😅
"It's literally a party on wheels." I prefer my wheel all business. Pedal height is an issue in the business world.
Got you! Pedals can be higher with changing th geometry!
Awesome! It does send! I really want a decent jump wheel next, without being super heavy
V14.
The V14 looks worth the wait.
That's what I was thinking.. but I don't really care for how my v12ht jumps, maybe I need more practice but it just feels kinda wonky sometimes like the pedals will dip a little but then that will be the neutral position in the air. Maybe it's just my v12 but I know Adam had a lot of issues with his too.
Thanks, good review.
Thank you! And thanks for the donation! 🥰
Thanks very much 👍
One question: can I just remove the speakers (and maybe replace them with some sensible pad system) - or would that mean no alarms?
I will check on that when doing the Teardown. The alarms also come through the beeper :)
How does the S19 weight feel when riding, do you notice the extra 15 pounds compared to S18? How easy to move the wheel around bumps off road?
You found that the pads were annoying when you were riding and restrictive when trying to do slow sharp turns. So what will it be like when wearing knee and shin guards ?
Thanks!
Thank you so much! :)

I think NyloNove will work the Best :) they’re not made out of metal so it shouldn’t scratch the plastic :)
This thing with your fingers getting hurt... happened to me with the s18... same thing
Ouch 😓
Awesome vid, cant wait for the S16. May I ask, what are the pants you are wearing ? Haha I want to ditch my knees protection and use a motorcycle jean
Thanks! Can’t wait as well ;) those are bringer Ohio pants with knee/hip and tailbone protection!
Regarding the handle, are you able to hang your full face helmet on it when just walking the ks19?
Not really :/ I have to loop the strap around the handle :/

Hi Mr. WrongWay. When will you publish your Begode Extreme review?
I don’t know yet :/ next video is gonna be the extreme ride review :)
@@mr_wrongway I'm waiting for that one!
Maybe. Looks like to "fit for so many riders" you can't have a ridged pad setup that you can not change.
It’s definetely a downside but it’s still plenty comfy :)

Smart bms?
Yes!
What about sitting on this thing while riding? What about s19 in a rainy day?
Cafe-racer of a wheel.
Are the pedals very low? At the 21:20 mark looks like you are about to scrape the ground.
It’s a steep hill going slightly sideways. They’re low but not uncomfortably so. With different geometry that I’ll change it’ll get better!
@@mr_wrongwayvocê prefere s16 ou s19?
is this the KS rgb gaming edition?
Very appealing but pricey
What do you mean? They moved away from the ikea fastners on the suspension like the s22 to a nearby hardware store supplier.... well worth the money tippity top in build and quality. Screams finished product.
For that price, I'd rather wait for the S16 for the light shows.
then do that. it’s always good to have options
but that has a smaller tire , I couldn´t go back to a small tire. my first was ninebot. then KS18, after S22.
I like smaller wheels, more maneuverability. I started on the V5F
❤❤❤❤
anyone have thoughts on coil vs air shock on this?
I trying play music on utube no work? How u do
Psi is how much?
I have this s19 how u play music my no work
Where are your shorts? The other lady looks great leaving.
Its to beautiful to do all that no thanks my angle is painless jus chill
