  1. Even disregarding jumping pedal dip in turns is a problem that Veteran inherited from Gotway back when they split. Begode managed to fix this ages ago now meanwhile Veteran still hasn't made any changes to fix this or give the option to riders to have more flat and stable pedals during turns (I know a few might like the default). This is something that is annoying even to many people who don't do massive jumps or ride up stairs. I don't think it's unfair for him to warn people that may be buying a new wheel just to get into jumps that the Lynx might not be the best wheel for that. And it's extra disappointing when it clearly could be.
  2. It's complaints from people that don't understand material science because they just think "metal strong" so I think complaints from reviewers have needlessly pushed EUCs to have more metal than necessary especially begode.
  3. Begode used to use some type of glue all over every type of connector to keep stuff like this from happening but for whatever reason they stopped at some point. I have a feeling it's because reviewers kept complaining that it looked bad and "amateur" but it clearly worked better.
  4. It didn't even make it to the mten5 so I wouldn't hold my breath (also that is the reason ewheels isn't carrying the mten5 btw)
  5. I got an RS19 as my first wheel back in the day and I don't regret it. It's 100v/2600w, it was heavy but I still learned just fine. In fact, the weight is a bigger deal than the motor power.
  6. I'm moving to Cincinnati next month and I'm looking to find some local riders to ride with. If anyone knows any local groups or anything please let me know I would love to join.
  7. The design of the frame on the Abrams was good in concept but implemented very poorly the flat metal bar on the bottom bends side to side very easily and there is alot of flex in the frame due to this design. As far as I'm aware it was never changed (I don't think it was selling well enough to justify them putting anymore money into) so the new motor is probably the only difference. The Sherman S looks like it takes what they were going for with the Abrams frame and improves on it but it's really bad on the Abrams. Alot of reviews described it as feeling really well built but also feeling very cheep at the same time and once you get it you under stand why. I had one of the earlier Abrams from Ewheels and had about 500 miles on it with no problem (other then overpowering it on breaking) I installed then new firmware to "fix the hall sensor problem" some time over the summer and 1 or 2 rides later it cut out on me and gave me a hall sensor error. Jason was really fed up with how Veteran was handling the whole situation and he gave me the option to just return it for a different wheel I got the Master and haven't looked back. It was a nice riding wheel, the feeling of throwing it around and grabbing the front handle was a lot of fun. It was the most stable I have ever ridden too. But, after everything that happened with the Abrams and how Veteran responded to the problems I'm never buying another LeaperKim wheel again.
  8. Sitting on it should be fine but it is not beefy, it's just heavy. The frame is not strong and bends easily, every time I put my weight on just one foot it would cause the whole body to flex and scrape on the wheel. I've never had that problem with my RS or Master. It's the only wheel I have ever ridden without at c38 motor but it's pretty easy to over power. It stops ok especially if you grab on the roll bar so you can pull harder. Be carful though it's really easy to over power it while breaking. Most of the time It would just dip but while testing to see if I could stop as fast as my RS HT I overpowered the wheel and ended up sliding on my ass for a few meters.
  9. I went on my first real ride today with some eskate friends and I'm really liking this wheel. It's my first suspension wheel so I can't really give much of an opinion about that aspect of it. My favorite part of having suspension is probably preloading it and finally being able to pogo up full size curbs, I was never quite good enough at jumping to get over taller curbs before. Coming from skateboarding with 95mm skate board wheels the jump from that to an 18in wheel is way bigger then the comfort that suspension adds. So I could probably skip on the suspension altogether and go for giving it actual handle. I did set the stock suspension to 400psi though so I wasn't going for comfort. I'm going to give myself some more time to get used to the wheel before I do dumb stuff like try to beat my record for number of stairs ridden down but I have a feeling it will just bottom out after the first few and not help all that much with that. I really love the pedals the spikes are great, stepping back on my RS the peddles just feel so sad. And with the 40T cells i'm getting great range. I was at 90% after my short ride of hard riding, normally I would have been at least 80% on my RS by that point. I'm not a long distance rider so it's more then I need. Plus there is the small things like not having the fan to deal with, and the easy to access valve stem (idk if it's just mine but my RS's valve stem is so hard to get to I'm convinced it's bent incorrectly) I think this might be the last wheel I get for a long time it's pretty much the perfect one for me. Now to see if I can't figure out how to build a proper handle for it. It really isn't design to be picked up at all. Its something reviewers mention but I didn't really understand until I actually interacted with it. It doesn't feel to heavy when you pick it up but the top doesn't have anything the feels sturdy enough to grab onto. Grabbing the lights feels sketchy because it moves them and I just don't know how strong that part is. Grabbing the suspension/tail light is a no go, I already smashed one of my finger in the suspension setting it down after trying that. Grabbing the kick stand means you need to grab it some where in the front to counter it and the entire front being made of the wrap around side pads means you can't grab that either with out ripping the stock side pads off. I have taken to grabbing it by the pedals (the hexes make them easy to grab when they are closed) and lifting from there. Only problem is then you have to balance it because you are lifting below the center of mass and it wants to fall over. I love the high pedals, only problem is I have hit my head on things serval times since I'm not used to being that much taller. I have noticed though that when jumping I'm having trouble keeping the wheel vertical and I tend to end up leaning a bit to much forward and causing the wheel to over spin briefly before I land. I think this might be due to the extra height of the pedals magnifying any sloppiness on my part.
  10. Ha that would be easy to deal will I could just unplug it completely, I just don't want it blue
  11. I think it depends on the rider, coming from the RS to the Master I didn't have any trouble mounting the wheel. I am 6'4" though.
  12. I recently got my Master from Ewheels and have really been enjoying it. pretty much every thing I would have wanted to add to my RS. I especially love the pedals. Very glad I traded my Abrams out for this one I was wondering though if they ever added a way to turn the blue idle light off on the tail light? I didn't see anything on euc world or when I googled it but I wouldn't be surprised if I just missed it.
