As a new rider(less then a year) starting at 58 it’s always interesting to watch highly capable riders riding an EUC meant more for beginners/intermediate to see its limits. I have a an Mten4, A2, V11, S16 Pro in that order of learning and purchase. I was tempted to go for a Lynx but after riding the S16(at 30 kg and the heaviest I own) I have realized that for me there’s a big difference when riding a heavier EUC and probably will pass on anything over 30kg. The Falcon is certainly interesting in terms of power per kg.
I'm a newbie at 58 years old and I absolutely love my Lynx! Already ripping off-road trails on it and have about 1500 miles on it. I've been riding for about seven months now.
Where's the comparison? This is just a group ride of people hanging out. This video is definitely titled wrong. I'm glad I skimmed through and didn't actually watch every minute of it. This is as long as a freaking movie!
I put my first 5 miles on my Falcon this evening. Put the titan pads on it. I was having trouble getting EUC world to link up and I was also having trouble figuring out how to turn off the beeps at 17mph. Gonna put it thru more tomorrow but suspension is awesome and i havent done any adjusting yet, street tire was the right choice.
Almost an hour & 1/2 video after editing. Roger, you seem to be holding up well on a lengthy ride after your recent abrupt 40mph encounter with a concrete curb. An hour in and you've not mentioned your ankle. The loaned backbrace seems to be helping. I think new guy No-A seems to have found his group. Wish I were 20 years younger and not half the country away in Oklahoma. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
The Falcon is now the wheel I want to get to teach my friends to ride. They won't keep up with my Lynx, but I can slow down for them. Also thanks for the charger Roger. I love it.
@@roghaj I get that, I've been riding MTB all my life along with my buddies. And none of them understand why I would switch from a $13,000 electric mountain bike to an electric unicycle, they think I'm nuts and that it's super dangerous. But my joke is ever since I got a couple of EUC's in my garage, my mountain bike has been giving me dirty looks! 😂😂😂😂
Your suspension sucks ass 😂😂😂 Thanks for filming my crashes trying to go back up that drop so I can see my mistakes….. I will make it up that for sure in the future. And thanks again for your vote of confidence to Marty to let me finish the demo ride on the Falcon. Coming from you that means a lot to me 🙏🏼 now heal up fast my friend.
@@ditttohead thank you so much 🙏🏼 was great meeting and riding with you as well. I love your ambition and not caring about crashes, you just get right back up and keep going 💪🏼
@ChrisTorina1 Thank you for your information, I really appreciate it. Also, do you have a RUclips? Roger asked if you were recording, and you said yes. I would like to see your point of view once he handed off the falcon to you.
If you know where to ask, an S16 Pro will set you back 1600 bucks delivered, and the falcon 1500, which makes the s16Pro completely worth it I'd say.. Got my Lynx for 2850 bucks with 50s cells and 62lbs spring.

I've bought mine from the same guy for 4 years straight, the after sale is top notch, my friends ( in France ) regret buying from local reseller.

Too much loose stuff in that incline, maybe take a broom to it next time. Roger trying to throw the new guy into the grinder. 19:19 yeah can see that double jolt when going down, no good for them bones, smart to cut the losses while ahead 👍 Cris seem to be quite capable rider, maybe he can substitude as leading character more. i guess those white poles on the tracks could use some reflective tape for added visibility pain on the way down for sure, atleast end of the day.
I have a V10F I used to recommend all the time but in all good conscience unless you're specifically looking for a non-suspension wheel if you can go the extra 300 bucks it's 100% worth it to go to the Falcon. V12 still has better range, and is priced the same as the Falcon but again both are just 300 bucks upcharge so especially if you already have a larger wheel there's no reason not to strongly consider Falcon's price/performance. Besides, if you plan on tapping a backpack battery for long/high speed runs I'd think you'd want as much weight as possible *out* of the wheel itself, so a smaller onboard pack might actually have advantages.
Also if that guy has a first gen S22 and his motor hasn't been at least pinned, let him know please - if he knew, his motor would be pinned or replaced. It's easy enough to check serial numbers to date the unit.
Roger, Ask your orthopedic guy if a "medial branch nerve ablation" is right for your pain source. Minimal complications, out-patient surgery, 3-6 months recovery . This is a pain reduction procedure that reduces the inflammation response cycle and speeds subsequent recovery times yet doesn't "structurally" change the disc herniation or intervertebral gap spacing.
@@roghajIt is usually called "radio frequency ablation" or "rf ablation" (Google it). It's not surgery, it takes about 30 minutes then you go home. It involves sticking a special needle into certain parts of your back and using radio frequencies to dull (ablate) the nerves. It lasts about a year or two if you're lucky. But if you have chronic back pain there are several other easier treatments you should try first, such as nerve block injections.
This makes me want to look at the Falcon as a second smaller fun wheel. I ordered a MTEN4 for the kids but this one can be good for some nice easy trail riding. Looks pretty good quality too. Hi from the UK
I'm already taking the falcon on technical trails and it is completely impressing me. It is a damn fun little wheel. I haven't been on my Lynx in over a week! That's unheard of. 😂😂😂
Is it true that the Falcon hugs the side of the road too much (like the Z10 from Ninebot) which is surprising and very unpleasant (probably an effect of the width of the tubeless tire).
Clickbait title! You did everything except compare the two wheels, didn't even run em up the same hill, I suspect the mighty S16 would have won every time 😮. Great vid, lots of fun thanks. The sun finally came out in the UK today, we shoulda declared it a national frkn holiday!
I love seeing King Song being ridiculed by a little nugget like Falcon! Such a simple and wonderfully effective compact wheel!! KingSong should revert to Christmas decoration equipment. This Falcon is clearly approved by all the wheelers who have done demonstrations in recent weeks. There are no more questions to ask BEGODE has really killed the competition with this superb little wheel! Good luck to Leaperkim to do better with the same price and not Leaperkim prices.
It certainly is a nice wheel... But for real riders, the Falcon DWARFS it. I think the F22 will impress... But until then: Begode, Extreme Bull, LeapetKim for me.
Gostei muitp da comparação eu tenho um S16 mas não consigo regular a suspensão pra ficar mais macia e retorno hora q der faz um vídeo, ou se dá pra trocar a suspensão e qual usar
I doubt I will be doing any more content on the S16. That wheel is not mine and I don't think anyone is going to send me one and I do not plan on buying one.
I'm running the knobby on my falcon and it is great on the street and it is even better off-road on steep Rocky chunky stuff. It's an absolute blast. I have never heard any downsides to using a tubeless tire. I carry stuff in my little pack and I can fix one anywhere on the trail and be back up and running in a matter of minutes even with a good puncture. I have never heard anything bad about a tubeless tire.
Anybody from Europe in the comments section? I'm trying to find the Master Pro V3 in European shops but none of them seem to have one. I started to ride two months ago (S16 Pro my first) and already have range anxiety.
Nottingham and S16 pro. I tend to cruise and get 30miles out of it (I think, not sure) , I'm 72kg. Not many long trails in UK to test on and too many cops! Where you?

There is some discussion of the differences within the first 10min. But after the initial presentation it’s just the group ride indeed.

I want one for that too. The inverse works also. Riding with newer riders on super advanced wheels and keeping up with them on a toy is kind of fun.

And he never replied...
But the Falcon is more powerful, lighter, more compact, cheaper, and still gets the same range as s16 pro apparently.
So little love for my S16 pro 😢 but great to see you guys enjoying the Falcon 😅
was 29min. looked at the time. danget! lunch time is over😂

The S16 display is 16x16 and not 32x32 as Kingsong maketing says but it still has a good looks.

Good morning. Back pain messes with your head and your sleep. I think I need to takes up hardcore drug use.
@roghaj 💯
Hope you heal up soon my friend.
👍
I see in Canada that SmartWheels also sells the Falcon.
Cheers
How did the Falcon's battery hold up, and how did its range compare with the S16 pro?
Both did well... someone else tested them against eachother and it turns out that the Falcon does about the same even though it has a smaller battery.
Is it true that the Falcon hugs the side of the road too much (like the Z10 from Ninebot) which is surprising and very unpleasant (probably an effect of the width of the tubeless tire).
it had a very predictable ride just like the A2. This will be a good beginner wheel.
How much do Chris and Roger weigh, just to get a weight comparison to myself?
so, what's the conclusion? The falcon is indeed better than the S16?

I did all that stuff the last time I tested the S16 It failed almost everything.
@@roghaj vs the 14? real fair comparison. it also seemed to have done everything aside from the first hill?
@@deltarowz the V14 would pass every test. it is a great wheel in every way except top speed.

What is the best tire for the Falcon between knobby and street one ? I have heard that the tubeless street tire is bad even for the street.
Street tire: that's the tire that we were rocking. Had absolutely no issues. I think we all loved everything about the wheel.
I'm running the knobby on my falcon and it is great on the street and it is even better off-road on steep Rocky chunky stuff. It's an absolute blast. I have never heard any downsides to using a tubeless tire. I carry stuff in my little pack and I can fix one anywhere on the trail and be back up and running in a matter of minutes even with a good puncture.

s16pro or falcon ?
Falcon for me for sure. S16 didn't have power
