Hmmm,i guess i liked the ks18s for the 28 inch height with seat,seems weird that the smaller ks18xl has the 2000w motor. I like the idea of sitting,which is why the ks18s was appealing , not that I've tried sitting,I have an old msuper and a ninebot one E+,but the taller profile intuitively makes more sense for sitting to me.
The appeal of the msx is the offroad capabilities, higher speed,higher pedal clearance,better hill climbing. Truthfully, the ks18s's height and seat combo were what sparked my interest,that and larger pedals and being able to set incline on them,mostly for long rides,that's pretty much it,oh and durability. Otherwise,the msx is probably more suitable for my needs. BT speakers are novel,but not a necessity.
The seat on the squat msx doesn't look like a natural or comfortable ride,but everything else about it besides the flimsy shell sound like what I want.
I did wreck pretty bad on my msuper a couple of weeks ago due to cut off at 20mph, and am still hobbled by it( mangled my knee,broke 2 toes,dislocated my shoulder and LOTS of road rash), so safety all of a sudden became important. Also,the wreck did sheer off some screw holes on the msuper. I still can't ride,I can barely walk,so I guess I have a little more time to choose. I have the money and have been peppering poor Jason from ewheels with a litany of questions and emails,so I want to order soon so he doesn't think I'm stringing him along and make it worth his time and patience!
Again, I'm most likely going for the msx, I'm just having that last minute waffle and wanna give the ks18s its final chance,maybe something I didn't know might pop up,maybe I just have cold feet,either way I appreciate all your input and help.
