One of the best reviews ive seen in a while
Nice review ! Thank you. Have og patch v3 sherman. 17k km and been looking new wheel. Been looking s and lynx, and after this review i ordered lynx. ❤
Outstanding video... so much useful information derived from practical experience... thanks for taking the time to make it... your efforts are most definitely appreciated 🥰
Very good review. Really in-depth and informative. Makes me feel better about my new Lynx. Thank you!
Dang awesome production quality Jono!! I've really enjoyed your videos, they're always super informative and well thought out. I thought your tire comparison video was awesome, somehow this video is even better! Keep making this great content - we APPRECIATE you!! I'm a Begode fanboy too, but man the Lynx sure is a great wheel. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Outstanding work!, thanks a lot for the subjective, objective and technical information from your experience with the wheel, very helpful
Good job Jono. Looks like a mountain of work you did , collecting all that footage and editing.
best review I have ever seen of any product
What an awesome review! Great job!
Thanks for this great review! Coming from S22 Pro with 3500km., done 1400km. on my Lynx, still can't beat S22 suspension feel and off road steep hill climbing power. And this damn thing can't make turns! Every time I have to turn left or right, must slow down and push hard and careful, very different from S22. Maybe it's me, my weight is only 70kg. so it's a factor and I need more time, we'll see. Anyway, keep up great work and happy riding! 😇
I got the same feeling coming from my S22 (not pro). Still can’t figure out if I’m going to keep my Lynx. I weigh 67kg btw.
One thing is for sure though, the power of the Lynx is far superior.
Came from the s22 and put over 14,000km on my s22 before it died.... I can say after 2000km on the lynx its way better in every way compared to the s22.. Lynx has far more power than the s22. Im 80kg btw, It took me about 1000km to dial the Lynx in to the way I like it.. but the lynx is a far superior wheel compared the s22. Also running the shinko 244 on the lynx and had it on my s22, amazing tire btw. :)
Awesome video 🤙🏼
Had a good day when we were on those Mtb tracks
I did really love the lynx when I tried yours
And I'll probably be putting that tyre on my s22👌🏼
Keep up the good work 👍
1600 miles on my lynx so far with the stock street tire. Best upgrade was the pedal lowering kit from ewheels. I'm ready to change my tire, and looking at getting the bespoke TNT tire that now come stock on the street model from ewheels.
Thank you for this comprehensive review, my friend. Cheers and stay safe out there. Happy shredding!!
Thank you for priducing this video. I really appreciated how you incorporated video clips from the Citynerd, & not just bikes channel showing alternatives to a car dependent lifestyle. Cars are really disgusting expensive & financially unsustainable. So, bringing these kinds of issues up provides a greater importance to justifying daily PEV usage for transportation, commuting, & daily recreational going places.
I hope you bring up these topics as a stance & talking point to the carbrained politicians that are reciving campaign donations from petroleum companies.
I am in the US, and unfortunately the ignorance greed, & collective stupidity still flies high, we still use imperial standards, I'll leave it at that.
But do bring up these topics more it's important for people in Australia, US, & rest of the world to see this. Also for some reason I thought you were based in NZ. Anyway, Great video, looking forward to more!
Thank you Jon! Another great, useful and informative video!
I know that it's already long, but still you've put so much information that I would like to have some sections a bit more detailed, for example "voltage adjustment on the wheel after measure it from batteries". This section I needed to slow down and rewatch couple of times. Will try to do my adjustment, but it's not clear to me why you have 0.4 value as the difference is 1.4V.
Maybe it would be good to put separate shorten videos for some specific sections with more details ;) it would be really useful.
Excellent job, Jono. Patton person here and I use it for mostly off-road. Had the Lynx been available at the time, I would have gotten it. Having ridden my Master (non-Pro) off-road before the Patton, I can say that the larger diameter tire traverses obstacles better and gives a smoother ride.
Very thorough review 👍
Awesome review!
well done detailed review
I lowered my pedals and have no issues offroading. I definitely removed that nasty kickstand because it will catch on things and it will also reach out and bite you if you have a minor crash. I got my toe pads from EUC clubhouse and they are great. I'm at 1500 miles and I've had zero issues. Definitely interested in a better tire. Maybe the Shinko 244. It's the funnest damn toy I've ever had in my life. I've only been riding for about six months now and I'm 59 years old so I keep my speeds under 35 mph.
I'm at 1500km on the Lynx and ran into the same issue as you three weeks ago in rainy conditions with the Kenda...
Wiped out sideways in a turn, and I was very surprised, took that turn countless times before with my CST street tire RS, no problem..
Anyway, I'll be moving on to the Shinko before the winter, a friend has it on his Lynx and it is much better.
Cheers
Shinko 244?
@@boblatkey7160 yes
Excellent review Jono, very comprehensive like an engineer would do. I learned a lot, appreciated.
6 pac Gord
I think your inside toe pressure is making your wheel wobble on turns....bring a little bit more pressure on inside heel. Excellent video, great human you are!
Very good review, i still have my SS with just over 7500 miles. love its range and planted stable speeds. i wish its weight was like the patton but i've gotten used to it. I would love to go up steep hills faster but with only a 100v i don't want to overpower it and blow the 30amp breakers. Someone said i could up the breaker to a 50amp but i need to find out just how safe that would be to do. THANKS AGAIN JON 🙂
Most important bit to me was that you had to stop using eucworld with this wheel.
I just received my lynx, and have now had 4 safety margin warnings when set to 20% in eucworld.
In each of those margin warnings, i wasn't pushing the lynx nearly as hard as my cp50s, which never got near the 20% safety margin, no matter how hard i pushed it (fast steep hill climbs etc).
Time to use LK app for this wheel 👊
Another awesome video. Very detailed analysis ❤ are you running the shinko tubeless or what type of tire tube did you use? Thanks a bunch ❤
Hi, about
48:54 - Torque Spec
Would you use the same specs for the Patton ?
Thanks ! (It will soon be my first time disassembling a wheel. Tire needs changing ! )
Thx
my lynx looks the same as yours as i copied it lol...we have same taste...i have no seat and a lowered pedals which i loved...i also removed kickstand as it is a little dangerous in crashes and i removed front bumpers completely
This is a great video , as usual. Am a bit confused on your tyre choice though. You say you prefer the shinko but are using the Michelin? Is there any other competition to the michelin as a pure street/ wet weather tyre?
Also I would recommend upgrading from the dual axis leatt to leatt z or c frames. I found a pair of c frames at a great price and recommend, as someone who has injured both knees.
When I was changing the pedal hangers to the lowering kit. One of the axel securing screws bolt holes double threaded. Was fixable after being retapped. The original hangers are very soft and something to be careful of.
Great Video Jono. Thank you.
WATT-HOURS really don't mean much. It is AMP-HOURS that tell how far you can go on a charged battery. Somehow, we need to get wheel manufacturers to tell us the AMP-HOURS we are buying without the WATT-HOUR/VOLT camouflage disguising the really important info of "AMP-HOURS."
I have a Patton and a Sherman-S. With the Patton, I full-charge, ride gentle for 4-to-5-miles, keep it under 33-mph and then I get a 40-mile ride before low battery beeps. With the Sherman-S, I full-charge, ride as fast as I want from the start, keep High-Speed-Mode "off" (so 42-mph), and get 57-to-60-miles before low battery beeps. ... The WATT-HOUR and VOLTS announced for each wheel do "not" tell you what you need to know about a wheel's range. ... It is AMP-HOURS that matter.
All Wheels: WATT-HOURS divided by VOLTS equals AMP-HOURS.
Patton: 2200-WATT-HOURS divided by 126-VOLTS equals 17.46-AMP-HOURS.
Lynx: 2700-WATT-HOURS divided by 151-VOLTS equals 17.88-AMP-HOURS.
Sherman-S: 3600-WATT-HOURS divided by 100-VOLTS equals 36-AMP-HOURS.
The Sherman-S has double the AMP-HOURS of either the Patton or the Lynx. If you like to cruise for hours at a time, and I do, the Sherman-S is your wheel. If you don't ride too far and want quick responsive torque and have about $3000(US) then the Patton is a good choice. If you don't ride too far and want quick responsive torque and have about $4000(US) then the Lynx is a better choice.
... Everyone. Ride well. Good journeys to all.
... NOTE: I am a 90-kilo/200-pound rider.
Nice Review… Have you tried the New Update so far for the lynx? Firmware 005.0.011. If so can you also share us a review on it. Thank You.😊
Jono, my Extreme hasn't arrived yet, and I'm already considering the purchase of a Lynx. My understanding is the Linx uses lightweight alloy which reduced the weight. Do you happen to know which parts are using the lighter metal? Awesome video.
On the acceleration and breaking test were both wheels on soft medium or strong? Thanks
Be careful with the toe pad I have a slip-on cover but the whole thing fell off because the hard rubber stock piece came unglued from the plastic
I got my toe pads from EUC clubhouse. Check them out, not very expensive and top-notch. Not gonna have any issues with that slip on cover that you were talking about about
How you keep your white pads clean?
Thanks for detailed review. Do you happen to have a link to the 3D file that covers the front hole, when the toe bits are removed? (Where you used silicone)
I bought really nice tow pads from EUC Clubhouse
How are you liking your tire? And what will be your next tire? Thanks!
Jon, which size you are using for Fox Titan (elbow) and Flexmeters (wrist). Both of them are very long, and seems impossible to use them at once.
7:29 Where is the compression adjuster? I can see the large gold preload hex head adjuster, and the screw driver rebound adjuster in the middle, but where is the compression damping adjuster?
Also, why do you need more than 20% sag? If the wheel has 90 mm of suspension travel, 20% = 18mm of sag which leaves only 72mm of usable travel. And that's not taking static sag into account, so it's probable even less.
Thanks for your awesome review! Do you consider buying Sherman L? Especially from the first batch?
not at all. Don't get me wrong, I love the sherman L announcement. It would be a luxury since id rarely use it, only rarely for the range.
perfect if you're heavier rider that wants to cruise further.
Cheers
At 170lbs, i feel the Lynx may still be too heavy for me. If they can update the Sherman S with progressive springs and the magnesium alloy construction from the Lynx to get it down to 75-80 lbs, that'd be amazing.
Thats an almost impossibly low weight, don’t think that will happen anytime soon.
@@vasilelupu9997 Okay, then maybe a lightweight version of the Patton then which weighs the same as the Lynx. Shave off ~8 pounds by using magnesium alloy construction, a smaller wheel, and a smaller version of the Lynx motor.
A lighter Patton is most likey in the works, but the Lynx is great tbh
I weigh about the same as you, between 170-175, and you don't feel the weight of this wheel when you ride it at all..
It is very agile/nimble for its size, and I came from a Begode RS to give you an idea..
Only problem is if you have stairs that are too slippery to push it up (I do), but it's a decent workout 🤣
Hi, I am 165lbs fully geared. The Lynx is NO PROBLEM to ride. I have ZERO concerns about the weight. I can maneuver the wheel slowly through tight areas and pedestrians and I have no issues. I can also hold 70+ kmh with no wobbles or issues.
Your weight is completely fine for the Lynx. Get it!
@@johnshopkins4786 thx for your input. 70kmh is exactly the type of speed i need and also the ability to go slow among pedestrians. I'm coming from a Kingsong 14D, so that's why im weary of heavy wheels.
So, where does leaperkim go from here? I feel like the linx is the pinnacle of EUC's, what could they add to their next wheel?
My patton has the same "vibration" at 37mph. I believe it is the FOC or Field weakening taking effect. The controller has to switch from sine wave to square wave. Similar to how dualtron scooters feel grainy compared to other scooters using sine wave.
If you try a patton you will feel it from 36-37mmph regardless of tire. ***I could be wrong, it just felt so familar since I have built ebikes using square and sine wave controllers***
Yes , this is my assumption too. It's a bit unsettling while going that fast, but so far so good 😅
I would say an Euc is more reliable than a car. Fewer things go wrong.
👍🏽
