Happens to me too, sometimes when I turn it on it feels like it needs recalibration. But after a while it becomes normal again? Overall I find it too small of a difference to care about it. You can try recalibrating it.

From what I understood about the development of the wheel, the trolley handle is an after thought. The seat is an afterthought even after that. (From the teasers from last year there was no trolley handle)

This will be my first winter with EUCs and I doubt I'll ride much...but I suspect that it doesn't if nobody has brought it up before.

The S18 also has aluminum battery cases and they are pretty exposed I think. Even for the front batteries that look like they are protected by the plastic shells, there are vents in the front to keep the batteries passively cooled when riding. You can tell that Kingsong is located in a hot climate haha.

As shown above I guess lol. Btw Begode’s Chinese name is 比高德

I’m not sure if you’re joking…but just so that other people don’t get confused, Laobird is a literal translation of 老鸟, which is Leaperkim’s Chinese name.

Lol this is one month earlier than their ETA. If I had known I would have just waited for them to change the motor for me before delivery

Bradley said on facebook that as of yesterday they ship all S22s with upgraded motors. Not sure if that means the new motors have arrived or they got the old ones pinned at Revrides.

Too late 😅 Well They said sending the motor to Revrides and back will take weeks as well, so I'd prefer to get it now that it hasn't snowed yet and try it out (very slowly) for a bit. And sending it back in Jan will be good timing since I won't be riding that much if at all anyways.

I just placed an order. The options they gave me: 1. They'll send the motor to RevRides to get it pinned (for free) 2. Wait for the new batch from Kingsong to arrive (may be Dec, Jan) and replace the motor. Two options are mutually exclusive, if I choose to get it pinned they won't offer the new motor for free. So I chose No.2 (I guess it's placing a lot of hope on the next batch of motor to fully solve the issue)

Can't believe US still uses miles?! 🤣

I haven’t been able to read the whole discussion but I want to share my understanding after reading the first few posts. Torque is measured in Nm, that means it is independent of force or distance. Just like speed is measured in m/s, meaning it is independent of time or distance. In other words, knowing the speed, you don’t know the distance traveled or the time. And similarly, knowing torque, you don’t know the diameter of the wheel or the force produced. I think most people use the term torque to describe the actual force. I.e. we know the diameter of a wheel and the torque of the motor, how zippy it feels. i think it’s fair to use it this way IF one off the variable is controlled. For example, talking about the same zippiness (acceleration force), I can say a bigger wheel has more torque. Or for the same wheel diameter, more zippiness means more torque.

Probably because they already made the sliders and don’t want to waste them. Just like the S18! According to Ecodrift, the hollow motor and better sliders were already developed last year but because there are so many left over in the warehouse they are only starting to sell those now.

On the contrary. I'm Chinese and I'm seeing these companies shift to almost exclusively target the English speaking market in terms of marketing, for the past few years. On the other hand the Chinese community seems more so marketed through word of mouth...

Cool! Despite the Lorem Ipsum I'm very much looking forward to their next design. I really like the S18 that I have, although I'm not a fan of the S22 design. Felt kinda lazy and not very functional as I've learned watching a lot of reviews (e.g. people swap out the pads anyways, can't grab handle with the seat on, can't see the display while riding...)
