    There has been so much talk about these Segway Powersports Super Villains over the last few months but not much concrete information shared. The machines have been making their rounds at various shows and there has been a lot of discussion surrounding them. Finally I managed to get my hands on a pair of them to take a closer look and I’m hoping that this video can give you a little more insight into what Segway Powersports is bringing to the table. Information is still limited but I was able to get a really up close and person look at both machines and here I am sharing it with you. I am not associated with Segway Powersports in any formal way. I have not been told what to say. I have not been paid in any way to make this video. The opinions and views expressed are my own so just take them with a grain of salt and keep an open mind. These are still prototype vehicles and there are still many visible areas that need to be addressed prior to full scale production. There are some statements floating around that these machines could hit dealerships at the end of 2024 but I haven’t seen that formally confirmed anywhere yet. I am hoping we will get a chance to drive and test the non-hybrid model in the next few weeks because I know that what you all want to see.... and what I want to do. For now we have this in depth walk around and overview video. Let’s hear your opinions in the comments. What do you think? Do you like them? Do you hate them? Is there potential? Leave a comment and lets have a discussion. At the end of the day, when manufacturers compete, consumers win.

      I believe with a nice polish on the finished product they will sell for sure. Now whether they continue to sell will depend on performance and reliability along with price point.
      Nice job running through it Julian, you covered about everything I would have looked at if I was to take a magnifying glass to it from one end to the other. I believe there will be a good aftermarket for it from tunes to cages and long travel, etc. All the usual stuff, but being the monster it is, and not being belt driven I have to wonder if there is even an ON ROAD possibility. Lets face it, these things are almost trophy trucks now. If you were to put that power to use on pavement with some lowered suspension and race wheels, the possibilities are endless. Anyway, back on topic.
      If there are some good solid numbers and tons of promotion I think they can take off. Just my opinion.

    I love the idea and most of the implementation, but the welds on that look pretty bad in some places. In the shot where you have the air filter, the gusset right above it has some pretty janky looking welds. I'm sure they'll hold , it's more just about how they look on such an expensive machine. That being said, I'm not sure my welds are that much better.

      Ya… I didn’t comment on them in the video because I figured it was quite evident they leave a lot to be desired. As I mentioned in a previous comment I don’t understand how they would allow welds like that on a machine that’s supposed to be a show piece. If they can engineer all that other stuff they should be able to find someone who can lay an acceptable mig weld. It’s these little things that concern me sometimes because it’s about attention to detail.

  • @RhinoOffroad-zq8fh
    @RhinoOffroad-zq8fh 2 месяца назад +4

    I see some pluses for sure. The alternator and the water pump being automotive external type is easier to replace than internal pumps. The styling is growing on me for sure. The suspension looks very tunable. The frame and A-arms look beefy enough. Cab space looks great............Minuses, the welds look terrible, this is a disturbing trend lately especially for me because I am an X welder of 20 years. I suspect the skids will sufficiently cover the oil filter and exhaust well since they are so low slung. The location of the rear prop shaft will just destroy the engine if it snaps so I see an aftermarket cage comin immediately if not from factory.
    As for the reliability of the engine, trans, and hybrid system only time will tell. It is truly a beast of a machine but the devil is in the details so lets see if they step up and deliver a truly polished diamond!

    • @AdrenalineJunkieProd

      All valid points man. Ya… the welds in some areas are quite disappointing to be honest. You’d think they would put more attention to detail into a machine the know will be scrutinized at shows and online. It’s not that hard to lay a nice weld, not sure why they struggle in areas like this.

    Great job Julian on your presentation of the Segway supervillain. I've been analyzing this since a couple years ago when they talked about it. Currently, I have the Segway villain which is awesome I use it for trails. Now I suspect I will buy this unit (non-hybrid) for the dunes..FYI. if you add the torque and horsepower of the super villain and a torque and horsepower of the Maverick R and divided by their weight the numbers are nearly identical and we know how fast the Maverick R is. Plus this machine will only be about $30,000 that is 10 of $15,000 LESS than the nearest competitor! Apple's to apples it is a win-win for the public!! Like you said, once the tuners get involved and aftermarket parts become available, , this unit should able. Able to easily produce 350 horsepower plus gobs and gobs of torque! It's funny how the Segway villain mimics the X3 and the supervillain strongly mimics the Polaris pro R... Curious, while looking at the footage, It looks like the back end has a tailgate? I see two splits, does the rear deck fold down? Thanks for your response. Once again awesome channel. l always look forward to your next episode
    .! Hopefully, you will be releasing a next video you collab with team MSC here shortly!! CHEERS, TRUMP 2024!

    • @AdrenalineJunkieProd
      @AdrenalineJunkieProd  2 месяца назад +1

      I don’t think anyone could argue that logic. There is no way a new brand to the market could honestly be anywhere near an established brand like Polaris or Can-Am overall. It will take years of excellent decision making to get even close to the big guys. The question is can they bring a “comparable” product to the market. Time will tell how these things unfold but I’d say if the production model is close to this and they can get it functioning reliably then it will be fun to watch things unfold.

As for the RZR Turbo R, awesome machine, proven engine with good track record. However, I agree, if I was gonna go get one right now I would likely go for the Pro R with the big NA 4 cyl. That thing is a monster. With a turbo they make 330+ on a modest tune.

    • @AdrenalineJunkieProd
      @AdrenalineJunkieProd  2 месяца назад +1

      Ya, that’s a complex situation. I knew this would come up so I’ll briefly touch on the topic. To put it bluntly, Mark Rivers, the previous guy who had distribution for Canada was a snake. To be quite honest, I have no idea who cleared him for that position. Segway Powersports made a big mistake with that as he had quite the track record of similar shady behaviours in the past. However, it seems that things are in better hands now, but there is a lot to correct. That’s just the truth. It can be corrected I believe. With that being said, as I mentioned in the video, I am not formally associated with the inner workings of the brand, my interest lies within the units themselves. Thus far, my dealing with the new team have been quite positive overall. I do however feel bad for all the good people who were affected by the shady behaviours of the previous group who were running things. I don’t really want to get into the politics of it here though. I don’t feel this is the place to address those issues and I am not the person to address them. I try to avoid drama like this at all costs. My focus is promoting the well being of the Powersports industry as a whole which is why I’ve always a done my best stay away from any formal manufacturer affiliation. I do my best to stay as unbiased as possible. Most who know me know that I call it like it is, good or bad. I hate to see anything negative in our industry because to me Powersports are a lifestyle and passion. It’s not just business to me, it’s a way of life.

    39:46 is what I have been waiting for someone to point out in all of these videos about the Super Villain. SO it does have BOTH, a (electric) park-in-gear AND a hand parking brake. It's has always been either or in the UTV industry. Kawasaki always been hand brake only, and Polaris and Can-Am are park-in-gear. I really like seeing both! I wonder if you have to hit the brake first before shifting because some folks with the new Maverick R are not happy they have to hit the brake to shift from Low to Reverse, when it comes to saving an uphill climb backflip. You can't slam it from one or the other to make a quick decision without hitting the brake, to what I have been told.

    • @AdrenalineJunkieProd

You smack a really good rock on a trail and it breaks a skid plate and smack that battery hard enough to damage the battery. I really hope they put a high-quality plate between the battery and the skid plate. Still on the fence about the electric stuff in general. But the regular villain I keep bleeding towards wanting to look at more and more.

    Your wish for greaseable U- Joints is unfounded. Non greaseable joints are weak, seeing they are hollow to allow for grease flow. Sealed U- Joints (non greasable) are solid and will outlast greasable joints 2 to 1, due to the fact that contaminants never get into the sealed joint, a greasable joint allows contaminants into the joint the entire time your driving and rely on the owner to constantly purge the contaminants from the joint when it's greased.
    I've learned a lot, being in the driveline industry for 40+ years.

    • @AdrenalineJunkieProd
      @AdrenalineJunkieProd  2 месяца назад

      Hmmmm. I stand corrected in this case. I appreciate you chiming in about that. I love learning new things like this especially when they are based off legitimate experience. In the case of off-road applications would the most important part of the u-joint be the seal then? I see a lot of seal failures on “generic” u-joints which likely leads to the issue of contamination. Would a solid joint last long even when contaminated or is there no real way to avoid that in this environment? What are the biggest differences between a high quality u-joint and a budget bin joint? Is it literally everything? Or is there a common reason most these joints fail prematurely off-road?

    • @jerrydespaltro4023
      @jerrydespaltro4023 2 месяца назад

      @AdrenalineJunkieProd If you compare the seals, a greaseable joint seal is basically a dust seal, made to purge the contaminants when grease is pumped through the joint. A sealed joint has an actual 3 rib seal that is sealed to the trunion of the cross.
      We converted one of our customers (the largest concrete company in the Chicago area) to sealed pto driveline joints on all all their trucks. The joint replacement, on average, went from 2 per year to 1 every 2 years.
      The biggest reason for failure is from shock load. A sealed joint is less likely to break because it's solid. We sell and install solid joints in all the racing shafts we build.
      We only sell Spicer and Neapco American made joints. Offshore U Joints have terrible tolerance issues, and many times, we can't balance the driveline without replacing the joint with a quality u joint.

      @howarddavis8748 2 месяца назад

      Sorry, but I disagree with you. I myself have been an automotive field for 30 plus years and when a u-joint wears out, predominantly it's because of lack of lubrication on the needle bearings. Resulting in failure... U- joint themselves rarely ever break!! (Unless you're applying excessive horsepower per metal medium). So once again, introduction of greasable bearings to keep them from rusting resulting in bearing/cap failure is far superior vrs a solid non-greasable u-joint as far as longevity is concerned....!

    not sure what I think of the hybrid, or how its going to last in water and mud, I know in the automotive mechanic world the orange wires and looms were taught to never touch unless your trained on them specifically as orange means very high voltage and very dangerous. we wear special insulated gloves to handle them. with a sxs lots of guys like to wrench on there own things. I wonder what this means for those guys. is it still even going to be possible... is it even safe? so many questions seeing this.

    I have a Villain and I LOVE it. I have a lot of fun driving it like a sports car on winding desert dirt roads ruclips.net/video/8o9Zspl8Ggk/видео.html but I've been thinking of keeping the Villain but getting a second machine with a real transmission for that kind of sporty driving. I've been looking at the YXZ, but I've wanted to wait and check out the Super Villain before I pull the trigger. The SV is less like a Lotus and more like a muscle car. I dont know which I would be happier with. Your video sure has helped educate me. One thing I notice is that this machine sure seems like it'd be excellent in stock form, while my research is beginning to show that the YXZ needs 8K worth of aftermarket stuff to be awesome (meaning the price in the end will be similar).

    • @AdrenalineJunkieProd
      @AdrenalineJunkieProd  2 месяца назад

      The YXZ is a cool and fun machine for mid-high speed aggressive driving. They have proven to be tough with some mods. If you turbo them they become insane. It’s been out for many years and the SV is a new chassis and a new concept. I’m always hesitant with first model years of any vehicle. No matter how well they engineer it there will be growing pains the first few years. It’s just the way things go. But if you like to be the first with something and appreciate a unique machine it would be cool. I can’t wait to see the actual production models. If they are as tough as this one it will be great. I was not able to find any solid info on the transmissions in the SV though. If they are solid and hold together I think they will be cool. If I was buying one as soon as they hit the market I don’t know if I’d get the hybrid or the gas model. With the hybrid there are some added risks obviously. They are however really cool
      Machines. Like you mentioned , your villain has worked well so if they can create a similar machine with the SV it will be badass.

When you look at other Chinese brands like CFMOTO though, they have the fastest growing market share in the industry, their machines are improving greatly and price point is incredibly competitive.
