  1. S16 Pro is good for this use and can even do decent offroad. I would avoid the Falcon right now (fragile, wait for V3). I have an old (and, I know, flawed) KingSong S18, very happy with it and complementary to my Master and Commander Pro. I am intrigued and would love to try the new S18 PRO 50S version... it might be a very good choice for commuting https://oneride.eu/en/kingsong/1285-kingsong-s18-pro-50s-cells-electric-unicycle.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw9eO3BhBNEiwAoc0-jfJX6j_lKgTM5u49KvGc2bVRkUo_FY7eWVez3OLY0uPkw-uTlg8CmBoChYwQAvD_BwE Good trolley, +++ lightweight, reliable high discharge cells and good spiked pedals for the newest PRO version, decent autonomy for commuting, decent speed (but top speed not enough for you use ?), sufficient motor power, nimble (in particular with dedicated ClarkPads), solid (versus Falcon), and not bad for light offroading. And CHEAP. Is there any other thing out there proposing such a lightweight package right now ? I did not see any serious review though. S16pro offers much more than the S18 for sure, and for a pricetag comparable and better water resistance. But too heavy for me. Obviously, Lynx, Blitz, late-generation wheels like ShermanS, offer much more...but are heavy as hell in stairs and trains, and are not single-purposed commuting wheels.
  2. I completely agree. Did it thousands of times and the handle still looks strong and safe
  3. EUC have changed me too: my walking, cycling and skiing activities have shrinked by 80%. Damn.
  4. Hi there I am from Grenoble in France but let's stick to English! I have 10 years EUC riding now, and bought a Master V2 in 2022 along with a Shermax, after using a Tesla V2 and a S18 during 4-5 years. Now I got a Commander Pro as an upgrade to the Shermax => I can't ride without suspension anymore. My use cases are S18 for commuting and urban tricks, Master (offroad tire) for offroading (mountain), Commander Pro (street tire) for long range roadtrips. I agree that the Master is a very good wheel for everything except commuting (heavy in the train I must take) and very long-range trips. It is very nimble and precise for my riding in mountain/rocks. I had a supsension upgrade: I was quite lazy and wanted to test MyeWheel so I ordered thei product, and I am very satisfied. I kept the same shock. Surely you can find better, and another shock would also be better, but even through my rather tricky offroad circuits, the suspension does a very good job. Still, the one from the Commander Pro is much, much better, like a flying carpet. For the moment, and because I have the luxury of being able to keep one wheel per use case, I won't switch to a Lynx or whatever GOAT wheel out there. I prefer to wait for the V2 of the next innovations like low-weight suspended wheels (Falcon), or switchable batteries (Inmotion) in 2025
  5. I tried the V12 of my cousin and it is a really good wheel indeed. But for versatility, I would rather go to suspension for a second wheel.
  6. I totally agree that the Patton would be great and its price is dropping with Lynx coming. Secondhand market is very active. For a do-it-all wheel, it seems very suitable. That being said, honestly, the Master is quite good too for a still-heavy do-it-all wheel with good range. I have a 2400Wh V2 with self-installed upgraded suspension and I am using it only for off-roading - nevertheless I would feel more secure with a V4, and even more with a Patton. The price tag for the Master is now very attractive. The suspension is not the best but it is very smooth to ride. Surely you do not need the offroading capacities and power of Begode Extreme and Veteran Lynx at this point - I would get them if I had the money ! Regarding V12HT which is not suspended...I would not recommend it and in particular if you want to go a bit faster, a bit further, and in trickier offroad places. I am still using my light, suspended, still-functioning-despite-shitty-battery KingSong S18 for my street/train/street home-to-work commuting (and sometimes a few urban tricks in stairs etc). I abandoned my previoulsy worshiped Tesla because the suspension is too important for me now: in particular it is life-saving by night with potholes (I broke 2 ribs 2 times). I would never take the Master for that, or a Patton; this is the luxury of having one wheel per use case. To my mind, no suspended wheel is suitable for this daily case (using a very crowded train) since V11/S18: their followers are toooooooo heavy. In summary: 1/Patton 2/Master V4 (with fairing plates), both with good power pads to control them correctly Last advice: test them all if you can ! You will be amazed by their power AND their weight.
