That is such a beautiful redesign.
...Open to a mud, dust and every rock on its way.
@@garik64 Ну, у самокатов тоже все открыто и что?.. Чем больше открыто - тем легче чистить. Везде есть как свои плюсы - так и минусы.
По крайней мере это не Готвей, хоть не развалится на куски по дороге, батарейки потом не надо собирать как хлебные крошки.
You are playing with the most regarded EUC at this moment !!! Thank you for your honesty and of course for the mini review... we are wainting more contents though !!!!!!!! Be safe !!!!
Fun fact for non-chinese speaking viewers: "Ku"(苦) means bitter, "Ji"(雞) means chicken, "Rou" (肉) (pronounced as 'roll') means meat. "Ku Ji Rou" (苦雞肉) means "Bitter chicken meat". "Rou" was substituted with "Roll", plus an "s", perfect for someone who "rolls" on EUCs.
So there you go: Bitter chicken meat --> 苦雞肉 --> Ku ji rou --> Kuji Rolls
Wow

I💞you, Juno? Lol
Zhen de ma?!
Need tones...😋
always looking forward to your reviews. i really hope kingsong does not cheapen out on the materials on the production unit. by introducing something this innovative, please don't leave any room for questions or a bad first impression
Thanks Kuji! Looking forward to the full review and hopefully a side by side comparison with the V11.
You're an amazing tester Kuji. This wheel looks unbelievable. My main concern is maintenance otherwise this is freaking amazing. Thanks so much for this ✌🏾👍🏾😎
The suspension system really is a game changer！
Thanks for contributing to the design and tweaks of this model!
Thanks for the review Kuji!
Excellent review, that answered a lot of questions.
Glad to see you explain the key difference in the suspension design of the S18 vs V11. The fact that the S18 has only the wheel and motor as unsprung weight makes it a superior design. Real world testing of the two designs can prove theory wrong but our bet is that the S18 is going to outperform the V11 in any suspension performance test.
Very excited to see what happens with the production model!
Well done kujirolls, excellent video
Thanks for the feedback. Please, try it out in the woods with roots and rocks, etc.
I like that your getting to ride it First because I like your style of writing and trust your opinion and you just beat those machines up! and I appreciate it! Thanks. love to see you do more on it
I absolutely love that you are allowed to really ride these things.
Great videos keep them coming thanks
Very nice! Thanks. I hit an unpainted speed bump the other day unexpectedly and it did throw me off. This suspensions would have helped. Looking forward to more reviews.
Good coverage -- looking forward to next
Cheers
My deepest condolences to the under pedal camera.
I love how he falls a couple of times. That’s pushing it to the limit.
Ооо ждал я обзора)))
Спасибо)
Very cool dude keep up the coolness
That's great! We really count on the honest review!
Interesting that the suspension rate is adjustable - we keep getting teased with info about this wheel. Looking forward to the full reviews.
I love ur videos bro keep going
Nice early review thanks 👍
Very good quality videos Kuji! :) I hope the final version has these exact pedals, love them! More chances to fit between obstacles and to hit fewer rocks, I also appreciate the USB port, the different manual modes for the light intensity and the "built-in Kuji pads" since I don't like to glue stuff to my wheel but I love to jump. I would also like to know if the pedals are bouncy/magnetic or hard, can the wheel stand by itself with this mudguard? Does the trolley also have a lock mechanism when fully lifted? (So I can carry stuff when shopping) and finally, does the wheel have a fan somewhere? Every time I choose a wheel I look into those small details so I appreciate that you include them in your reviews!
Amazing review and as always you make full use of all the protective gear and never hold off to the limits of the wheel :)
Thanks! 👍
Good on you. Having a go. Developing the wheel.
Holy hot fudge sundae! I need shocks... You are tearing ass over bumps that would normally mess up any rider, wow! 🤘🤠
I was thrown into the air again yesterday but stayed on, again, somehow, while riding my kingsong 14s, this seems like a sweet ride.
The music he plays in his video is so calming
The hype is real 🔥🔥🔥
🔥
Good job !!!
Can't wait! 🤷🏻♂️
I like this wheel, a lot! It looks nice, the suspension system is actually working, and it is surprisingly nimble at low speed unlike other typical 18’ wheels. The foot pedals are tall, long and comfy but I’d like it to be a bit wider for a more relaxed wider stance because at low to moderate speed I prefer not to grip the wheel tight with my ankles. It has the potential to be an “one size fits most” type of wheel. Maybe just not powerful enough for all your insatiable hunger for speed and torque, but for the rest of us, it may just be the best option out there. Comfortable, smooth, good looking, and adequate motor with a decent battery pack. And, the trolley handle, which is across the width of the wheel in the middle, is quite stable too, much better than the GW 18 inch wheels which place it at the back of the wheel. It may be a bit too tall and heavy to consider as a learner friendly wheel, but it should be easy enough for a beginner to handle. Assuming the final product will utilize better materials and better constructions, it is really an attactive wheel.
Revolutionary!
Top!!! I need this here in Brazil!!!!
Good review bro
Well... thats AWESOME!
Super exciting! I'm very curious to see how the top speed throttling curve will end up looking like. I think this would make a super fun wheel for my commute, but I'm curious if I would need to be charging it at work, which I don't need to do with my current wheels.
Thanks for the good video.
Sexy wheel. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.
Hey. Thanks for sharing. I put in an order for the v11. But if this one turns out to be a winner I will have to get this one to.
Steve whats up man your the man who had surgery on your knee, hopefully your the same Sellers in Ma. Framingham to be excect, so you like this wheel me too! But sad that KS & Inmotion had to scrap speakes & battery size for this innovation
Im attracted to the V11 and thats only cuz it looks like more of a sealed unit plus its V11 name matches my name & b-day...lol
Hope thats enough to make the purchase.
😜👍
Thanks for the video! Are you going to get the pre-production V11?
I'd love to see your thoughts on the new S20 Eagle thats going to be coming!! Im just getting into EUCs so any insight is amazing!!
Subbed for awesome content
Thanks for featuring my music.
Your music is awesome!
Damn Kuji!! This is the kind of shit I live for!!
Will you be testing the InMotion V11?
Freakin awesome!
Freaking nice!👍
Man what is the name of your jacket? Looks so cool! Btw, your video is awesome!
Thanks for video! Really good job! Wating test for the serial sample! Previously I've seen test for KS16X and now S18. Could you please express your opinion: which one more comfortable in city mode?(consider bumpy mode and maneuverability; to be used on narrow streets)?
Look forward to your in-depth review. Would like to know how it handles in corners due to increased CofG height. Would also like to know how it deals with sharp bumps like tree roots and potholes. My biggest concern is being sprung off the wheel.
they have option to set preload and set the dampening, some also have option to inflate like the fox racing version.. DNM also makes one that sits out and has spring attached to it.. so you can either fully locked or have 10 different adjustments...
Waiting for more info. I want to get into EUC, but I want to start with my go to unit. I need something more for offroad. At the moment, I see S18, GW MSP and V11. Hope that GW will show something new in a near future.
Yo Kuji, thanks for this Video preview! A comment I keep seeing is that the innards being exposed may be bad for possible water damage, or possibly getting damaged in a crash scenario. You dispelled a bit of that concern here. I keep thinking that perhaps they'll opt to seal it more for production with translucent plastic like the Nikola. Any thoughts on that? Do you feel it will be modified for such concerns? I personally love it as is and would be stoked to have one innards exposed and all. I love the look of it (for Socal, not concerned with rain much), but people in rainy climates aren't really considering this wheel, in favor of the V11, which understandably has waterproofing...
Your torture test is quite horrific. Is good to see its been tested to the max. I have to say good job Kingson.
How is just riding it around a horrific torture test.
ag.floats XR i think he just had a bad choice of words. “terrific” was what he meant
Good toy kuji wait your feedback regarding range. Thank you for the community.
Hi Kuji,
From what you saw or you've been told, might we expect the suspension assembly to be protected/hidden by some kind of removable cover/housing?
This would protect the suspension mechanism from rain, dust and scratches since eventually this will happen.
oh gawd🔥🙏
I will be purchasing this one
Yes!! I'm glad I waited.
I'll buy this one and the ninebot one z10
@@AlexFlexo6 and what's about gotway Tesla Plus? Or Monster V3?
Also need a real test like going over deep pot holes and riding slowly in town centres riding around people. Is it heavy and sluggish to turn at slow speed for example
Que jugados son tus vídeos en los test que haces , me parecen excelentes y siempre extremos amigo que genial. Sería muy genial tener uno de esos que muestras, saludos desde Chile.👍👍😁
Great video! Kuji where are you now?
You haven’t posted for ages- hope you’re OK
When production models come out would you choose this over the Gotway MSP ?
there is a lot of work to do and to finish seeing the performance of the plastic use I think that at 2 drops the material will deteriorate well
Where did you buy the white Fox Proframe Helmet? I am looking in white but not available anywhere.
@kuji rolls - sweet vid and u be fearless as usual (dunnonif you have a exo sceleton that prevents you from breaking bones but), BUT a shock wont help with a mono driving through Sand. For that you need either increased friction (aka knobby tyre..ok not really friction...but for people to understand) ....or water to turn sand into mud that does not shy away from the weight of the wheel and rider as much :-) or (of course) more area (aka wider tyre or tyre with bigger diameter...we dont want that)
I love these videos, but damn man, you have the most prominent square jaw I've ever seen. Kudos.
Nice video! The white elements are removable?
Сongratulations! Great video! I can't understand why they put the rubber on the other side?!
Mantap bro
is it as uncomfortable on the inside knees as it looks w/o a pad? Does lack of pad take away control? Do you like this best? better than the XL? (awesome vid as usual :) )
Hi. Great, honest review. However,
I’m still not convinced with this open design. Especially the shock. How well will it hold up after a few crashes? Also, how much dirt is going to accumulate inside the euc with this open design? I’m still more in favor of the Inmotion V11 design. Ride safe🙏
Damn, wished I could do prototypes. Being an engineer and rider myself, can find where things would break or wear down and the electronics tests too.
must be so smooth riding that now but wonder about doing jumps from street to footpath etc. the shock would take away your push off.
What a nice view, please tell me what is your jacket model?
You such a badass 💪🔥!
..I am sold that suspension is the next game changer for EUC in 2020! It will save my knee in the long run over undulated pathway and off road rides!👍 wonder if camber would make the difference between a good or a better wheel between the technology use! i.e how the shock system behave to impact and rebound
Super Video
I have to agree on the incredible suspension and a killer style.
Mostly the style...
But, without at least 1500wh battery - it is just a mid-range wheel for the price of the top wheels.
Sure, you can ride 70 kilometers with 1100wh battery, but you won't be able to push it hard already after first 25 kilometers of ride - it just won't have enough power to ride at top speed anymore.
Let's see test before talk
Could you get access to a V11 for a similar review ?
MrSpeedFrk I also wanna See v11， lol
Yes.
@@KujiRolls awesome can't wait to see the comparison
Wow such a nice wheel... hope i can try it in austria b4 buying it... i already have an Inmotion v8 and a ninebot z10... but this wheel ❤❤❤❤🤤😍
0:49
dat's the Kuji roll!
01:43 that shot was EPIC!!! Wow.
This looks sick!
What jacket are you using?
a dainese something something
Yeah Awesome :D
How confident are you with those feet rest? I'd be worried they snap.
Can't wait to try the suspension wheels. Although I don't feel like I need suspension in my wheel, they must feel super comfy. I wonder how good will they be at riding up curbs.
It can be done, but dont do it too fast. Its still possible to dent rims.
Have you tidied any jumps... the shock might absorb you lift unless you pre-load like you do mountain biking
Really interesting direction taken by KS (and inmotion) with their suspended wheels. Must be really nice to ride on that bumpy terrain without being shook to the bones all the time !
yeah, it was a blast! Meline, will i see you at the Electric Games again this year? I think its been rescheduled for October
@@KujiRolls True, it has been rescheduled to the 3rd&4th of october 2020, hoping everything will be fine by then. I should be present too :)
Nice
Will be curious about Kingsong's intended drop height for the production model.
And by drop height, think "downhill bike park" and "tabletop" - how high is within design constraints.
Will there be a off road tire that won't rub, available soon?
What is the best to buy now for daily city commute?
Great vid as always. I really wish the 18S had a bigger motor and battery...
I would probably prefer a "smaller" motor (2000W), but bigger battery
Really slippery dirt good one ☝️
Man that suspension looks awesome! Making hard to decide if I want a high speed MSP or the ks S18 lol. What's your opinion between the two wheels, as of right now??
Approach of Gotway and Kingsong is completely different. Gotway cares about your soul, not the body. Gotway is fun, but it is dangerous.
Kingsong is all about safety, it is locked to 50kmph, it will raise the pedals all the time you try to do something "fun", or if the wheel "thinks" that there is not enough power left...
So it is completely different wheels that just can't be compared as they use different philosophy. Personally I do think that Kingsong is the answer, but that is just me.
@@ShadKS18XL yea I'm well aware of the different approaches the two companies make as I've owned a ks16x and I own a gotway monster. I appreciate you pointing them out though!
It's just hard to decide if I want the extra comfort of the ks, or the awesome speed of the gotway 🤔
Personally leaning towards the gotway, as my monster is a pretty comfy ride as is. Plus I want to make my first review vid already, and MSP comes sooner. However, that suspension is VERY enticing!
I want to try that...
