    Side Note:
    I failed to mention the 2nd part of the suspension. The infamous sliders. I totally understand and acknowledge the total cluster “duck” the sliders were in the S20,S22, I do understand they are the same style as the S22pro and really hope they last longer and perform better.
    Time will tell and I’ll do a 1000km update when achieved !

      No matter how well they make the bearings, they will always wear out and cause the wheel to shudder.
      It should be a point made to all potential buyers. The suspension WILL require more maintenance than other brands. But the benefit is that the sliders can be fixed by a regular person. Where as if you get dirt in a begode slider it's going to need to be completely replaced to get it smooth again.

      Insanity=doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. The sliders will be the short fall again.

    What a great review and reviewer! Much less biased, less meaningless clutter, and even more informative than what the big name EUC RUclipsrs thend to offer. Though in my mind the length of the video was needlessly extended by the amount of riding footage that didn't offer anything in terms of information or how the wheel behaves. We've all seen a huge amount of EUC ride videos already, and there was nothing new in those parts of the video. But that might just be me. Still, overall one of the best presentations of any EUC that I've seen. Thanks for that!

    looks great, always fun to watch these ones mate. every time you do a EUC vid I get very tempted to dip the toes into EUC, being that the price is not massively different, would you recommend this or the s22pro? (probably neither as a first wheel/beginner but given the option of those 2?)

      S22 Pro. But if you are willing to spend this kinda money, you might as well go for the Begode Extreme. The S22 Pro is really good at drops and landing (off-road stuff) but will be outclassed by the coming Begode Extreme. Both the S19 and S22 have suspension sliders that will need servicing eventually (new bearings).
      The S22 has more range than the S19. The S22 has more power (speed and torque (useful for climbing hills)) than the S19. The Extreme has more potential range than the S22 and more power and torque.
      Before buying a wheel, I would recommend hopping on the forums as well as looking at content from Eeevee's and Hiasang.

  • @chibuikembah2802
    @chibuikembah2802 Год назад

    I won't advice riding heavy off-roading on the S19 it's more like a city wheel. I do like the lift sensor in the front handle it makes it easy to quickly grab and go upstairs or to cross over a barrier etc. It's something one can adjust to or get used to not holding the front handle and concerntrate in using your weight and pads to slow down. I wish the S22pro had similar lift sensor in front handle.

    The most important question for me, unfortunately, you did not address...just how fragile is it? You did mention that you had dropped it, but you didn't mention the resulting damage. If you never drop a wheel, you aren't riding it, so I'm concerned about ruining the looks and function of the S19 the first time it goes down. BTW you can thank another well known reviewer for bringing this to my attention.

    • @scottdaviesyoutube
      @scottdaviesyoutube  Год назад +3

      Ohh who ? I’d love to know and your right I did miss that point 😱
      I can say I’ve dropped it 3 times.two at speed over 30+ off road head over heel and so far it’s only got a a little scuff on the handle
      I was actually surprised how well it handled it

    I dont understand how ppl ride with their feets fully on the pedals.
    (I might be noob thats why)
    But my feet are literally off of them. Right side, the tip is off the front right and most my foot is on the edge of the pedal.( like this: /)
    Then left side is a little less dramatic but my foot is still angled ( \ ) and on the edge of the pedal and again partial toes hanging off the front.
    I tried backing up my feet and putting them straight on the pedals and i couldn't ride anymore. It was so awkward feeling. Feet are too straight.
    Considering how i ride, to brake i do have to "sit". Lean back in a sitting motion.
    It has confused some ppl at thinking i was a vet. Which im far from. I can barely get going without a pole or something.
    (I did hit 30kmh for the first time the other night.😅)
    I can only practice 2 days a week. Last week was my first test day seeing if i could make it to work and back. It was a success.
    But not ready yet. I finish at 6am. One road i have to pass on has no bike path (but google and bike path maps show this road a connection to the next one) and its in a small industrial place. Meaning, truck traffic.
    Being a trucker myself, i see enough to know no to f around truckers these days. They're so f n incompetent.
    My skills arent there yet for truck traffic weaving. A few more weeks probly.
    I need to reach 50kmh to feel comfortable. That way i can ride in the middle of the road and take my place. (Speed limits are all 40kmh. Going 50kmh will make me part of the traffic.)
    I ride the s22 pro. (It is my very first wheel)

    • @dirt.surfer
      @dirt.surfer Год назад +4

      @scottdaviesyoutube it's a long post, I may make a video but here is the s22 experience, the hobby killer.
      I was one of the first to receive one, eevees had a deal with kingsong to receive the first run in the world, order was 60 units, mine had a number 5 on it so i call it s22 Karen SE 5/60 custom painted on upper fairings.
      Right out of the box error 32, we now know that is the flappy kill switch at back, easy to resolve. Over 20 attempts to do a bms update, decided to stop at risk of bricking. 30 km in and error 27 struck. There was alarms to the point I had to disconnect the batteries and send it to eevees. They had it for 6 weeks, they were not clear as to what worl was done, I assume they replaced a battery.
      Shortly after receiving it back I had another error that created an explanation mark on the screen and was in permanent tiltback. I had to send it back again, I assumed it was a faulty sensor, but again the work that was done was unclear.
      While Karen was in her natural habitat in peices at eevees they sent me an email regarding a upcoming motor swap recall for the potential stator slip. I told them to just keep Karen until they get the motors, rather than shipping back and forth. I live not far from Vancouver but I don't want to see eevees receive high shipping costs over short period of time.
      I got it back from eevees I had a little mishap I will keep to myself, but I will say eevees has been amazing and bent over backwards for me with what is the worse wheel of all time. I just want to be clear my retailer did make this POS somewhat tolerable.
      After receiving the new motor there was a screeching sound from bearings, and right away bearing knocks. Turns out kingsong has zero..... let me make this clear ZERO quality control. The bearings lasted 1500 km. I made a short video on the issue and eevees sent me a new pro 4k watt motor right away. I hoped that this was going to solve all my issues, but 8 km in bearing knocks and squeaks worst than ever.
      The suspension system is a joke. The entire EUC is all about anesthetics and zero functionality. The linkage arms work in a way they loosen the bolts. They call them bolts but this hardware is not up to the task, people found this out after slider install. Another point about this tragic POS is this slider system, and don't worry that s19 is 95 percent all of this garbage in another color.
      A third party is necessary for nearly every aspect of this garbage. And I can tell you that I no longer trail ride the s22, I got it for that reason but man its a pos. The battery boxes that act as the slider region well only last a few years and the wear will be too much, than we well seek battery box replacement.
      Avoid kingsong at all costs. The innovative CEO left around the same time the s22 was released, and is replaced by a dainty 90 pound woman that has never been on a wheel in her life or understand the products. Now we see regurgitate of a disaster the s22 in a new shell the s19. It's all about the bottom line at kingsong, they don't care.

      @@puchomuseek Buon giorno, anche io ho lo stesso problema, mi è arrivato l'S19 da pochi giorni e credevo che fosse un problema comune a tutti (perché sul web tanti lamentano lo stesso problema) e che KingSong dovesse aggiornare l'app in seguito, ma se a qualcuno funzionano le opzioni in app per spegnere e modificare le opzioni delle luci led sarebbe bello saperlo, perché vuol dire che è un difetto. Poi, condivido i pensieri sulla buona garanzia perché anche io sono in trattativa con il venditore per risolvere un problema di batteria, va benissimo ma solo fino a quando arriva al 60% di carica, dopo dice "errore 26" come se fosse completamente scarica e non funziona più se non la rimetti in carica, poi comunque non carica sopra il 90% perché il caricatore si spegne anche se in app è selezionata l'opzione per caricare fino al 100% (quindi solo pochissimi Km di autonomia). Il venditore mi ha anche proposto di inviarmi un set batterie nuove, ma non me la sento di smontare tutto un monociclo nuovo appena acquistato... Non so se esiste una soluzione alternativa che non richiede di smontare tutta la batteria. Quindi reclamerò una sostituzione o un rimborso e lo riacquisterò perché è davvero una ruota fantastica. Se posso darvi un'informazione aggiuntiva, all'inizio non funzionava ma in seguito sono riuscito non solo a disattivare il sensore sulla maniglia ma anche a spostare la sua funzione di stanby sul tasto di accensione, in app è presente la funzione poi potete avere la maniglia senza che si attivi il sensore e disattivare comunque il bilanciamento elettronico con un doppio click veloce sul tasto di accensione. Pressione lunga accende il veicolo, doppio click breve manda in standby, un click per accendere e spegnere la luce. Scusate la lunghezza del messaggio, non sono riuscito ad essere sintetico.

    It's not a big deal to do a tire swap? I think out of most pev's out there today an euc is one of the worst to do it at to be honest, some more easy than others but overall not something easy and you need to watch somebody explain it on RUclips most likely. Btw my Miles Sex Panther DD is still running smoothly as is the one from my friend, around 4000km combined without any problems, solid investment 😉.

I’m willing to bet a run of the mill customer would have a VASTLY different experience due in no small part to the lack of extra chargers and batteries in their possession.

      1000% incorrect, as mentioned in the video. I work at a EUC shop. We try very hard not to send out faulty units in the first place.
      we QC every wheel
      We have a 33 point check list
      If it’s broken or something wrong it gets sorted or we simply don’t send that unit.
      We had a S22 on Friday with a noisy motor straight out of the box. We just got another one QCd that and will put a warranty claim in for the bad one.
