The only wonder a 10 dollar helmet will perform is to give you an utterly false sense of security. If you are going to buy a helmet, buy one that will actually help when you crash ! IMO cycle helmets are not anything like sufficient for EUCing.

Dude I feel you. Im 6'3 295ish. Im not in great shape by no means, but even when I was in peak shape and running all the time I was 220 at lightest. EUC is how I wanna go, but im so worried it wont carry me.

Yikes I haven't really used my headlight, but I just noticed my wheel twitches, & makes a squeal when I turn the light on.

Have you tried the calibration (without pads?

Not me, but another rider in the Roger Charger Telegram group had a similar issue. Turning on the headlight made it tilt forward. Ewheels contacted them with a response from Leaperkim. "Based on similar reports of this behavior Leaperkim thinks that this related to the headlight emitting EMF." Then sent him a replacement headlight.

lol… Am I going the same history path again? Is it Steve to introduce me to my next wheel again? lol, lol , lol 😅😅😅 Steve has a GREAT experience !!! I bet I must remember his big wheel’s name wrong, I think it was GotWay for sure. It wasn’t Nikola, so I guess it was MSX 👍 Thank you…

I did enjoy your video my friend, I’m appreciate for your review too, there’s nothing better than to hear the owner’s review, who’s riding it on daily basis … I’ve found the Speedy Feet review too, and all together is making it an interesting wheel to be honest. I’m starting liking it so far, especially sort of fat tire, but not overkiller at same time, the range it can cover, sporty ride… Well… It will be an interesting wheel to keep in mind for sure. I wasn’t this much impressed looking at KS16S though. I haven’t compare the specs yet, but I’m fancy KS16X more … Thanks!

Pretty sure Steve went in order of... Kingsong KS16S, Gotway MSX, Ninebot Z10, Gotway Nikola, Kingsong KS16X, Gotway Mten3, Inmotion V11, Veteran Sherman, Veteran Patton, Veteran Sherman S.

ok, I own one myself - so my opinion is perhaps a bit "coloured", but on the other hand: It is a solid wheel, good long range (80 km and you still have 20% left) acceptable top speed (not 50 kmph as advertised, but around 45 - 48 ) It's probably the closest you'll get to the Z10 in terms of tire width; 3" - easy to change tires on. You can get a good seat, the wheel is not too big to be fast, and not too small to keep up, totally nimble, good pedals, good light (someone always wants more, but then you take a proper flashlight with you instead..) Good speakers even with a subwoofer - I only use it as a "bell... ahooga", but some people want to noise pollute their surroundings with vocoder rapping while they ride... The only downside I can think of is the following; for some reason this wheel can easily start a wobble (at high speed) - this typically happens when braking hard when riding fast downhill. I've learned to deal with it, but it cost me a crash first. my wheel in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uovYADsNWx8

At that time Steve has been riding this big heavy wheel, I don’t remember the name, but it was starting something like Moto… or else, lol… Really I’m crap with remembering names 😅 It was some new wheel on the market for sure, and Steve was testing it, even when out to Blackpool… He mentioned a guy from Blackpool and testing that wheel there… I bet it was Inmotion new model, upgraded, fast but small slim form factor… I just have had a look on the KS 16S, but it’s rather not the wheel fit my likeness. The speed is around 22mph… I got used to go faster than this, so if I get slower wheel, I most probably regret I bought it… But it’s good to gather the knowledge now, so I can have more clues what I like what I’m not 👍👍👍

I was gonna say the 16X is worth a look...didn't you ride Steves one Artur? Or maybe you had sold your Z10 by then..

Will have a look for sure. Have you had ridden it yourself, can you share pros/cons please? Thanks !

King Song 16X

Yeah… Speedyfeet 👍👍👍 Thanks 😉 Don’t get me wrong, I know I’m continuously coming back to Z10 in my posts, but it’s not that I’m looking to buy it again… It is my start point, a familiar ground and where the experience comes from… The design, appearance, feel of it etc, and the price of Z10 is making a good starting point for me… It is a wheel I know, and I can easily compare to any other wheel that I will be adviced… So it doesn’t need to be Z10 again, but unfortunately I’m keep coming back to it, as I have no other experience 😉👍 I wish to spend as much as Z10 costs now, so if I don’t like any other wheel, then I won’t end up with nothing in mind, but I will buy the Z10 then (again) 😅 All those YouTube tutorials… I know you mean… Subject repeated many times it seems, but every next YouTuber is making it up, like it was him 😅

For anyone wanting a bit more traction off road, might i suggest the Kenda K760 tire in a 80/100-12 size. It's 415# @33PSI Fits the v-14 like a glove with plenty of room around the tire and on top for studs in the winter time so you can ride it on ice. Tire change is super easy, it's 1 side cover(2 screws),1 battery(moved not disconnected),1 battery protector(2 screws) and the 8 pedal hanger bolts as well as the 8 motor mount bolts. You will also need to loosen the 3 wire hold down screws and cut and replace 1 motor wire zip tie. Pull the trolley handle up some so you take the spring tension off of it when pulling the pedal hangers. The tire change took me 30 minutes because i was being super careful and methodical. I decided to change the direction of the valve stem since some genius had it in so if i caught a stick going forward it would have ripped it out. At least going this way it has a chance to repel a stick instead of "grabbing" one. Handles well enough on pavement that i didn't take a digger when i tested it doing a figure 8. It's much more traction as you can imagine, i will report back when i get some miles on it.

Yeah there was a few videos going around at the time, one of them was from 'MadPack' who made out it was him who 'solved the problem' when actually it had been done several times before by others lol. But yeah, it's not a big deal, just need to make a little adaptor up with an XT60 plug. Can use the stock charger too. But tbh, if it were me I'd much rather get a wheel that doesn't need this doing if I could, just to be happy that the cells haven't gone too low. Speedyfeet. But I'm very sure they won't be selling Z10's now. Mine came from China via Ali. I got lucky, it still had about 50% charge when it got to me. I presume it had lost a chunk of charge on the 6 week journey!

Coincidentally I went through YouTube review, where guy was fixing what you’ve just mentioned my friend. I wasn’t aware of this issue might happen, but fixing it looks straight forward though…? Anyway, I doubt out there other wheels are free from flaws, am I wrong? Wherever you look you’ll find some minor issue? So I’m not fear much getting new Z10 at this point, but I will make sure it comes from reputable seller I can trust… Mine Z10 was from Speedy Wheel UK ? As my memory is playing games with me, I am not sure if I remember the Shop name correctly, lol 😅 If he’s still dealing with sales, I’m sure I’ll get in touch when I’m ready… BTW ~ you couldn’t reply to my post because I’ve messed it up, not knowing how to quote your post sooooooo…… So forgive me 😅😅😅

Gasmantle !!! I remember now!!! You see… lol 😅😅😅 Short memory !!! Yes, it was three musketeers 😅😅😅 And that’s sad true, I did ruin the partnership for sure… Maybe it can be rebuild back gain … I hope.

Do you ride Z10 then?

Good point …

I’m commuting through very busy town centre… Manoeuvring between crowd of people in daily basis, narrow pedestrian ways, etc… I was appreciate to stood still when needed, spin turn, etc… Maybe this is what may still work for me even after 5 years?

Good point ~ thanks for video too.

I think the only thing I would research is where these Z10's are coming from. When were they last produced by Ninebot? Are they still making them? I'm honestly not sure. But I would be worried about getting one DOA because as you may know they can phantom drain real low and although (I think) the packs do have a self cut-off to prevent cell damage, you would need to make an adaptor to charge the packs directly as it won't work through the regular charge port.

I have no really any pro alike experience, but Z10 you see… I feel like dinosaur looking at these latest beauties with suspension feature… Definitely the price will limit my ego in here my friend 👍 Thank you.

Knowing how it goes - definitely. I just hope it will be lighter and they have fixed the handle mistake. Sadly it will be heavier and have same design.
