Definitely 18XL has higher positioned footplates, but don't lock your mind on one brand. 18XL is rather old wheel.

They should also start confiscating cars which can be driven above top speed limit in your place... that sucks totally. Can't understand why laws are so stupid and behind modern life.

Because euc manufacturers tend to name wheel diameter from outer tire circumference, where it should be named from rim size. 16 inch v8 is really a 12 inch wheel.

Each of those wheels have pros and cons. You cant get best of both worlds in any of them. 18Xl is generally faster wheel -you can sustain top speed for the longer time and because of higher wheel diameter its more stable at that speed. Since fw 2.0 upgrade its really a beast with silent motor. Another pro for 18xl is that its more weatherproof. On the other hand 16x will accelerate faster than 18xl because of lower diameter. 3'' tire makes it feel more comfy but don't think its night and day. For me, 18xl its safer choice. You won't be disappointed with its performance.

In order for 1st and 2nd speed alarms to work You have to disable vocal announcements. If You have vocals only third alarm works and its this 'please decelarate'.

Watch some videos how to remove tire from bicycle without tools and You will see one trick that helps a lot. I'm not 100% sure about euc (because i havent changed tire yet) but that trick worked for many many tires i've change in bicycles and I think it should work.

Merino underwear ( can be bicycle one) + fleece, Motorcycle jacket and pants (with removable thermal linter for very cold temperatures) good baclava, super thin windproof cap under helmet. I was riding in such a gear without mc pants down to -6 deg. Motorcycle helmet with visor would be better. Remember that everything has to be windproof. Ahh and warm leather gloves with wrist protection.

Nice, can You measure inflated width ?

Can You measure what is the width of inflated tire 70/90-14 michelin pilot ? I'm wondering if it can fit 18xl which has about 73-74mm space in shell ( but im willing to use some sandpaper).

Why not 18 inch wheels like 18XL or MSX ?

Clipless pedals are small an have tiny point of contact. On the bike you are sitting on seat and don' lay all your weight on pedals. Wheel is another story, you need comfort of flat big pedals. Believe me or not but it wont work that way. Carbon soles wont help either. Try standing on clipless pedals for longer period without touching seat and bar. It would be a lot harder to unclip after increasing pedal contact surface.

Take it easy. Don't rush for speed, it will eventually come with time. Focus on better/faster starting and train emergency stops. Drive, drive drive its the only way. It usually takes about 1000km to feel comfortable, but don't let it fool your awarnes.

3rd level alarm and titlback are always scaled when battery voltage goes down (below 25%). For example if You have third alarm at 40kph and battery is 20% it will sound at lower speed than 40kph. Im not sure about 1st and 2nd level alarms. Just don't accelerate too hard when battery level is below 50% and even softer below 25% and You will be fine. It won't cut out if you are not aggresive and listen to beeps. What firmware version does your wheel have ?

50% of available power as safety margin ? I understand legal reasons but even at 50kph You still has some safety margin from manufacturer. I think 40-45kph is sweet spot but set it whatever You are comfortable now. Wheel will gradually adjust this limit as battery level goes down. You have to be more cautious below 50% but fun stops below 30%. I don't use EUCWorld battery level dependent alarms.

Holy cow. Gotway Rs is 1.999 directly from gotway...
