If interested, concerning the trolley handle, I found on my Patton that I needed to protect the handle lock button. When a pedestrian, my hand would inadvertently depress the button allowing the handle to collapse. I placed 1/4" wide automotive vinyl door trim onto either side of the button. My hand now rests mainly on the trim instead of the button, no more unwanted collapses.
As someone who recently "lost" their V12HT (65 lbs wheel), do you think there's "room" for having a wheel lighter (around 60 lbs let's say) than the Lynx for when you want something to throw around more, or do you think you can have as much fun owning just the Lynx for a larger wheel? I was intending on having 3 wheels, 35 lbs, 65 lbs, and the 88 lbs Lynx; but then my 65 lbs wheel died, and I'm curious if I can get by with just the 2 wheels (35 lbs and 88 lbs); granted I think Lynx has higher pedal height, so my knees need to be in strong working order (injury free and fully recovered) for stepping up onto it. I recently bought a V8S for last mile stuff near home, but trying to figure out what to replace my V12HT with. Lynx has been on my mind once all the early batch issues are solved. But the weight of the V12HT was already awkward at times to handle at slow speeds when coming to stops and trying to turn to get ready to cross a crosswalk, even with intermittent months of practice. So I'm curious how the heavier Lynx (but still not too heavy compared to V13) is for lots of slow stop and go stuff if doing errands with it. Cheers, appreciate seeing your first ride~
Wow cheers for that! sorry to hear you lost it (stolen?) alrighty lets see about your questions: firstly I haven't ridden the V8 or V12. 1) room for lighter wheel: yes 100% lighter is always going to be more nimble and easier to flick around and maneuver on tighter terrain. Heavier is only better for high speed cruising stability. 2) as much fun owning just the Lynx? yes that's my plan just the one wheel for now to do it all. If the range is suitable for you or you can charge at your destination. It will never be the same as a smaller V8S, they handle more like on OG manual unicycle and are extremely playful and responsive. easier to pendulum, ride backwards etc. My comments are from the perspective of riding the heavier Sherman S so I call the Lynx 'light and playful in comparison to the heavier (100lbs) Sherman S. However the amazing thing is that it's similar in feel to the smaller 16" patton. Keep in mind the weight savings on the lynx will likely trickle into Leaperkims future releases including possibly a lighter patton. 3) Lynx has higher pedal height It is much higher than you're use to. It is something that becomes natural over time. However it sounds like you're dealing with an injury? If you get a tall seat you can possibly do a sit start to ease the transition to standing. Any suspension EUC should take stress off of your knees while riding which is an excellent benefit. 4a) V12HT was already awkward at slow speeds I haven't ridden the V12 but I can presume it should be far easier to kickoff and ride at slower speeds. due to the lighter weight, smaller tyre and lower pedals. I'm unsure of how much riding time you have? For example I'm this confident riding because I've ridden 14,000km (8,700miles) over 21months. 4b) V13 vs lynx The Lynx is in a completely different weight and ride feel to the V13. 4c) heavier Lynx for lots of slow stop and go I don't think it'll be a convenient errand wheel. Anything very short under 5km (3.1miles) I'll often opt for my onewheel or escooter. Since they're easier to lock up. I also don't gear up nearly as much since the Pint is so slow and the escooter has 2 wheel redundancy. One wheel to do it all always comes with compromises in some aspect. either portability, range, suspension etc. The Lynx offers the best all round experience for my needs of typical trips of 30 to 50km (18 to 30miles). I hope that helps, Cheers once again Jono
I will be getting the 3rd batch from ewheels in a few weeks. Right now I do not know whether I should get the knobby tire or the tubeless street tire. Any suggestions? Does the knobby feel good on the street?
Very nice, hope you love it! I enjoy the knobby a lot, mainly for cutting loose across dirt and grass. It also offers additional cushioning due to the large pliable tread pattern. It is a non linear / progressive V profile tyre. ESPECIALLY at higher pressures. that's why I keep it low. I find this profile to corner very effortlessly because I don't have to do a huge learn out onto one knee like a round profile street tyre. So you must decide: if you want to go off-road? Which cornering style do you prefer? I'd go a high quality street tyre anyway. so try the knobby then get a michelin, pirelli etc later if wanted? Hope that helps, cheers jono Btw use my ewheels affiliate link if you'd like to help out the channel! shrsl.com/4c8gh
I got the pedal lowering kit and I can't get the pads on correctly. Way too much space at the toe then had to put pad upside down but I get 2 corners pushing into my feet. The pads don't really fit on the small space. Maybe still need a fairing?
I Love my lynx after they replaced the top panel and they put the shims on the wheel. No more clicking sounds and no more stuck buttons. Already have 500 miles on it.
It's better than the Sherman S stock so I'm not in a rush to tear it down. Once I do I'll be sure to report on the modifications. There is one thing. After removing the jump pad there is a massive hole that i'd like to plug: i.imgur.com/aJRZ8Mg.jpeg
Thanks! yes! www.rbventuresuk.com/product-page/rb-finger-dinger it's expensive but way better than my last one. It'd be better to fix it to the something other than a finger since that poses an amputation hazard if it gets caught.
Great video. This wheel is such a beast! My V12HT is not even close :D. BTW I think that Wrong way he has 62lbs and he is heavier than you. Progressive spring is so awesome that he has no buttoming out even on jumps. I would go for 62lbs for sure.
Wow that's crazy how much 2 years of euc development has progressed. Awesome to hear! It'll feel great to have that top end speed after the V12ht. (that was nearly my first wheel during the release hype. The early mosfet issue meant i couldn't buy it and got the V11 instead - better starter for me) Ah damn, yeah I tried to change to 62lbs spring but it was too late in the order. I'll look to swap with someone or buy em for sure. I'm doing sag tests at different weights / pre-loads today to help others decide. cheers!
@@jonoeuc V12HT never had issue with mosfets, that was problem of the V12HS. That is why I bought the HT version as soon as possible. It is rock solid after 6000km and I did almost no maintenance at all. Which is the biggest advantage of this wheel. Also it is still pretty capable, small and light. And the price is less than half of the Lynx. It still have the place on the EUC market I think and I will definitelly keep it because it is more than enough for many of my rides. But sure Lynx is another level :). Enjoy it m8!
Great Video, beautiful scenery, just ordered my Lynx today☺ from E-RIDERZ🤩 Australia. There’ll be a wait for me so I’ll be watching you for all those tips, stay safe.😁
Hey Paco, woot! that's awesome, I hope enjoy as much as me. That's strange, I find the tyre acts more rounded and linear than the same on the Sherman S. What euc / tyre are you coming from? MSP2 tyre is a solid pick for sure. I'm considering the Diablo Rosso if I get a street tyre for racing.
My master has shinko 244. That seems very stable maybe a little slower. It might be pedal lowering kit that is throwing off my balancing point and it's my 1 st street tire maybe getting used to it. Tried adjusting suspension will check up on ya.
You look so much quicker on the Lynx, i wish i could ride like this but there's still a lot of ice on the roads ! I find the 66lbs Suspension to be perfect for me
Hey mate, it's unreal how different my riding style is between the two! Bummer, ice is a no go for me. What's your riding weight if you don't mind me asking?
i'm 150lbs including riding gear. the suspension SAG seems to be a bit high with no preload but in my experience suspensions tends to get a little softer with mileage, so i think after 1000km it will be perfect, i find that stiffer suspension makes the wheel feel a lot lighter too !@@jonoeuc
I am 200lb with gear and I have the 62 lb spring. Compared to my Sherman S with 66lb, it didn’t feel that much difference. I too did -3 on the rebound. 85% strong. Loving the speed!!
100% yes. I was led astray by the very early reports. It may not be their fault since the springs could've changed from pre-production. here's my actual sag measured chart forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/35451-jonos-lynx-video-review-thread/?do=findComment&comment=499149
When you said 170lb, is that weight before gear or after gear? I weigh about 160lb before gear and I ordered the 62lb it’s batch 3. Gonna be my first wheel so just trying to figure everything out
with gear on. 62lbs spring is the right call for you. I made a sag chart with the real measured values and the 66lbs is too stiff for me. forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/35451-jonos-lynx-video-review-thread/?do=findComment&comment=499149
@@jonoeucgood to know I made the right call, gear can’t be too bad, but I know I’ll probably get a bigger hardshell backpack and take a charger with me like I do with the onewheel. So it’ll add a bit of weight I’m just not sure how much pads and a hard shell backpack with stuff in it would add
Hey mate, yea 50% exactly. I have to test them on the Lynx still. I can say a few things from my Sherman S experience. Braking safety is very important for me. Running softer pedals tilts the pedals back as braking, this greatly improves my braking effectiveness and traction on the footplates. Since I often want to have a more relaxed ride sitting and standing the softer modes are more chill and comfortable for longer rides. When on hard mode the EUC can act more twitchy and surges over bumps and humps in the road surface. hope that helps
cheers for the tip, so many customization options! I've since hung the pads off the front. Huge improvement and they don't seem to be slipping. Also cut the jump pad in half so I have the bumper part and it fits my pads!
Nice to finally find another RUclipsr that likes to goof. Good riding. I'm curious what batt percentage and speed you were beeping at to get to 20% safety margin.
haha yep that was a crazy fun first ride on the Lynx. the battery was high around 70%+. the beeps were from eucworld. the safety margin was at 85% and there is an advanced setting of -10% safety factor so ~ 75% in eucworld. someone else mentioned that eucworld isn't able to correctly read these values though... Given the early beeps I tend to agree. If I had to guess and on a different private road test I got those beeps around 75kmh (46mph)
Ok I have the 66lbs on its way which I thought would be ok but after seeing your review I’m 2nd guessing my choice. I’m close to 90 kegs geared up. Think I’ll be too heavy for the 66? I do have the option of upgrading to the 70lbs.
edit: oh yea! i forgot my plan to make a sag comparison video. haha I'll hold weight and test the sag for your body weight. No need to guess. I'll get onto it tomorrow and let you know. I'll leave my below discussion for reference: original reply: Hey mate, not sure how much info you have so i'll dump some here. Checkout thia article and focus on spring rate and sag: forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/34567-how-to-tune-your-shermans-patton-lynx-suspension-101/#comment-491207 We're targeting a good sag value with the spring selection. Being a bit under is preferable since the pre load can adjust the spring for less sag but Not more sag. Marty backe is 200lbs and said he could bring the 62lbs spring sag into spec with the pre load. Albeit maxing out the adjustment. id suggest sticking with 66lbs and dialling in with preload. here's the chart i referenced. it doesn't seem to hold up to my real tests. since at 77kg (170lbs) i got 25% or 1inch sag not the charts 2.1" www.ewheels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Suspension-Compression-Force-to-Distance-1.jpg
Here you go mate, my IRL measured test results carrying different weights on the euc. take the guess work out of it. I strongly suggest keeping the 66lbs spring based on these results. You'll get approx 30% sag with zero pre load and 16% with 100% pre-load. forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/35451-jonos-lynx-video-review-thread/?do=findComment&comment=499149
The Finger Dinger is pricey but the best i've found. Mine did break apart on the 3D printed mount after 22months. 'jono' for 5% off www.rbventuresuk.com/product-page/rb-finger-dinger
I went for the 70lb spring for my patton and I'm 160lbs (maybe a little over with gear) and was recommended to do so by another fellow Patton owner, who is lighter than I am. Haven't ridden much due to it being winter but feels very nice.
26 is my preferred psi for K66 and Shinko 244 and kenda nobby. Its the perfect middle ground between to hard and gyro effect, and to soft and unresponsive
@@lefotografion I was thinking the same, but if it works for him 👍. I ride above 30 psi. I guess it’s all personal preference. I was just a little thrown off by how low his psi was. Good to know his rim is ok.
I absolutely despised the K262 at higher pressure. It makes it extremely progressive and rides on a knife edge. Falls abruptly into turns then gets stuck there. At least that was my experience on the Sherman S at 35PSI. At the lower pressure it rides far more linearly and predictably. Yeah I always thought a higher pressure was needed to protect the rim and it does. However looking at the slow mo stair footage I can see there is enough squish left in the tyre. If i'm bonking a sharp curb etc then i'll slow it right down.
Less, albeit not by much! My patton test was on the J802 tyre which is also completely different. The patton test was on a 62lbs spring which was far plusher and cushier. Preferred that relxaed feel tbh. once i try a Lynx 62lbs spring I'll know better.
Yeah EUC World doesn't have access to real PWM with the field weakening taken into account. 10% in EUC World combined with a 75A continuous alarm is my current setting.
I'll be selling them as cheap as I can once the design is a bit better with the connector piece. Otherwise as is with the flat fit is available. most color options, height wanted, firmness (or just the same as in the video?). message me on insta or facebook jono.euc or jonathan purcell
EUCs have grown alot! this is a car replacement in a regional area for me. a short trip is 20-36km round and a longer one is 55km. Suspension adds size and weight but far better safety when travelling longer distances at speed. I'm glad that your current wheel does the job, you're all set! Hope that helps, cheers jono
@@jonoeuc Standing in one position for even 10km is very bad for your legs. It is not compatible with human abilities. The wheel will never replace the car for regular trips of 15+km..... Apart from that it is not safe. You can easily fall and break all your bones or collide with someone. Stop promoting this unhealthy activity!
The suspension was stock at:
rebound damping +3 (minor damping)
compression damping +0 (soft)
High Speed mode was on! (forgot i changed it!)
Great lynx reaction video, love the commentary and camera work.
If interested, concerning the trolley handle, I found on my Patton that I needed to protect the handle lock button. When a pedestrian, my hand would inadvertently depress the button allowing the handle to collapse. I placed 1/4" wide automotive vinyl door trim onto either side of the button.

This might actually be one of your best videos, really like the Speed test here!!
great job Jono, congrats on Lynx🎉
I'm having fun watching this video. This wheel is been recommended to me for better riding through the mountains in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Enjoy your ride.
Glad you are liking your lynx. I've had mine for 45 days and am very pleased. Hope it gives you many, many miles of smiles..cheers
Happy to hear it, you too thanks!
Best riding Lynx video so far. I can feel adrenaline just by watching this. Can't wait to get my unit shipped ✌
It's so fast I have to ride within my limits! The power is always on tap.
awesome, enjoy your wheel
As someone who recently "lost" their V12HT (65 lbs wheel), do you think there's "room" for having a wheel lighter (around 60 lbs let's say) than the Lynx for when you want something to throw around more, or do you think you can have as much fun owning just the Lynx for a larger wheel?
I was intending on having 3 wheels, 35 lbs, 65 lbs, and the 88 lbs Lynx; but then my 65 lbs wheel died, and I'm curious if I can get by with just the 2 wheels (35 lbs and 88 lbs); granted I think Lynx has higher pedal height, so my knees need to be in strong working order (injury free and fully recovered) for stepping up onto it.
I recently bought a V8S for last mile stuff near home, but trying to figure out what to replace my V12HT with. Lynx has been on my mind once all the early batch issues are solved. But the weight of the V12HT was already awkward at times to handle at slow speeds when coming to stops and trying to turn to get ready to cross a crosswalk, even with intermittent months of practice. So I'm curious how the heavier Lynx (but still not too heavy compared to V13) is for lots of slow stop and go stuff if doing errands with it.
Cheers, appreciate seeing your first ride~
Wow cheers for that!
sorry to hear you lost it (stolen?) alrighty lets see about your questions:
firstly I haven't ridden the V8 or V12.
1) room for lighter wheel:
yes 100% lighter is always going to be more nimble and easier to flick around and maneuver on tighter terrain. Heavier is only better for high speed cruising stability.
2) as much fun owning just the Lynx?
yes that's my plan just the one wheel for now to do it all. If the range is suitable for you or you can charge at your destination.
It will never be the same as a smaller V8S, they handle more like on OG manual unicycle and are extremely playful and responsive. easier to pendulum, ride backwards etc.
My comments are from the perspective of riding the heavier Sherman S so I call the Lynx 'light and playful in comparison to the heavier (100lbs) Sherman S. However the amazing thing is that it's similar in feel to the smaller 16" patton. Keep in mind the weight savings on the lynx will likely trickle into Leaperkims future releases including possibly a lighter patton.
3) Lynx has higher pedal height
It is much higher than you're use to. It is something that becomes natural over time. However it sounds like you're dealing with an injury? If you get a tall seat you can possibly do a sit start to ease the transition to standing.
Any suspension EUC should take stress off of your knees while riding which is an excellent benefit.
4a) V12HT was already awkward at slow speeds

4b) V13 vs lynx
The Lynx is in a completely different weight and ride feel to the V13.

Marty backe is 200lbs and said he could bring the 62lbs spring sag into spec with the pre load. Albeit maxing out the adjustment.
id suggest sticking with 66lbs and dialling in with preload.
here's the chart i referenced. it doesn't seem to hold up to my real tests. since at 77kg (170lbs) i got 25% or 1inch sag not the charts 2.1"

Here you go mate, my IRL measured test results carrying different weights on the euc. take the guess work out of it. I strongly suggest keeping the 66lbs spring based on these results.
You'll get approx 30% sag with zero pre load and 16% with 100% pre-load.

What is the bell you have on your finger? Always wanted something like that while riding
Hi Josh its a bit $$. Comfortable and feels premium.

I grabbed a code for you everyone 'jono' for 10% off the bell! (no kickback just discount for everyone)
Where Did you get your finger bell?
The Finger Dinger is pricey but the best i've found. Mine did break apart on the 3D printed mount after 22months. 'jono' for 5% off

Great video Jon. Would have loved to hear more comparison notes to Sherman S. Great video otherwise.
Hey mate, I made that video with your comment!

@@jonoeuc that's such a Jon thing to do. You rock man.
Increíble 😮
I went for the 70lb spring for my patton and I'm 160lbs (maybe a little over with gear) and was recommended to do so by another fellow Patton owner, who is lighter than I am. Haven't ridden much due to it being winter but feels very nice.
24 psi, why? Just curious. I would feel on edge riding at that psi.
26 is my preferred psi for K66 and Shinko 244 and kenda nobby. Its the perfect middle ground between to hard and gyro effect, and to soft and unresponsive
But 24 psi and then these stairs... Yea that's a bit sketchy
@@lefotografion I was thinking the same, but if it works for him 👍. I ride above 30 psi. I guess it’s all personal preference. I was just a little thrown off by how low his psi was. Good to know his rim is ok.
I absolutely despised the K262 at higher pressure. It makes it extremely progressive and rides on a knife edge. Falls abruptly into turns then gets stuck there. At least that was my experience on the Sherman S at 35PSI. At the lower pressure it rides far more linearly and predictably.
Yeah I always thought a higher pressure was needed to protect the rim and it does. However looking at the slow mo stair footage I can see there is enough squish left in the tyre. If i'm bonking a sharp curb etc then i'll slow it right down.
@@jonoeuc good to know man. I’ll have to try it
The eriderz code only registers a $1 discount?
bummer! let me check that for you.
oh also it's only valid for EUC purchases, were you trying it for something else?
It should be fixed shortly, try again then and let me know!
@@jonoeuc Yep, fixed. 👍
Супер! Отличное видео! Ещё бы видео сравнение с версией 50e увидеть
Good video.
is it more agile than the patton or same ??
Less, albeit not by much!
My patton test was on the J802 tyre which is also completely different.
The patton test was on a 62lbs spring which was far plusher and cushier. Preferred that relxaed feel tbh. once i try a Lynx 62lbs spring I'll know better.
Que grande.!
Yeah EUC World doesn't have access to real PWM with the field weakening taken into account.
10% in EUC World combined with a 75A continuous alarm is my current setting.
It did feel way off. thanks for the tips, I tried those settings yesterday. Much better.
Nice :)
Bom dia Jon hoje vou pegar o meu chegou Brasil😊
enjoy, it's super nice!
That things needs a hitch
I really like your seat it's nice, looks very soft and comfortable I would like the same.
I'll be selling them as cheap as I can once the design is a bit better with the connector piece. Otherwise as is with the flat fit is available. most color options, height wanted, firmness (or just the same as in the video?). message me on insta or facebook jono.euc or jonathan purcell
Where's your spacesuit!
You can't ride without a spacesuit!
my usual jacket?! I ditched it for summer :)
I have a Ninebot One P which weighs 12kg and overcomes any obstacle. I don't know what this monster is for. Dislike!
What?
EUCs have grown alot! this is a car replacement in a regional area for me. a short trip is 20-36km round and a longer one is 55km.
Suspension adds size and weight but far better safety when travelling longer distances at speed.
I'm glad that your current wheel does the job, you're all set!
Hope that helps, cheers jono
@@jonoeuc Standing in one position for even 10km is very bad for your legs. It is not compatible with human abilities. The wheel will never replace the car for regular trips of 15+km..... Apart from that it is not safe. You can easily fall and break all your bones or collide with someone. Stop promoting this unhealthy activity!
lynx or extreme or patton for 200 pound dude
we ride unicycles so we dont ever have to go in that great white shark infested water.
I'm having fun watching this video. This wheel is been recommended to me for better riding through the mountains in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Enjoy your ride.
