  1. Yes. The next possible higher voltage would be 138.6V (4.2V more than 134.4V), and it doesn't make much sense on its own, and also the 3600Wh battery size would have to be different then. So this is a 134.4V wheel like all the others.
  2. @EUC BBYes, please make sure your quotes are in the original language (English) so everyone knows what you are replying to. Thanks!
  3. Extreme 30... not to be confused with the EX30 or the Extreme What it is: a better built version of the EX30, with Extreme build quality (I suppose). What it should have been with that name: an Extreme with 3600Wh battery!! And here I was hoping Begode would start the era of "small" tire (16 inch), big battery (3600+Wh) wheels. But it's just another 20 incher. Oh well, it surely will go fast.
  4. "Born of Alcidae" I had to google that. The S16 is a baby bird? Egg? Does this mean anything? Or is this some translation thing?
  5. Let us know how your trip to EUC-Disneyland went! I'm not envious, I'm telling you, absolutely not!
  6. Yep, it's a very antrophic principle/evolutionary logic-like statement of things being the way they are because they are the way they are, I mean what else would they be? More profound than one may think. I like! Here's another one, though: We buy what we buy. So dear manufacturers, you better listen to what people want (They actually try and do nowadays!) Not only do we live in the world, we are the world, so we can change it. (And then it's the others' turn to deal with it, hehe.) Anyways, the complaints (if someone is even complaining) are on a quite high level with EUCs nowadays, which is good. Happy days. The Adventure (will they call it V14 or is that just something informal here?) surely will be a sweet sweet wheel, I don't think you will regret jumping in right away *knock on wood so some crazy initial issue doesn't happen*.
  7. I put this discussion into its own thread. It's certainly S19 related, but was maybe a but too much for the S19 topic. But in here there is no such thing as too much. This is a dream situation, being able to test ride all the wheels you consider! (They already have an S19 to test? Wow!) Just go by how they look and feel (looks, braking, acceleration, ergonomics and weight, etc.) and maybe you'll suddenly have a clear favorite. Honestly, all your options are good. The big difference will probably be tire size classes - T4, Patton, ... (12 inch rim = "16" inch tires) vs. S19, S22, ... (14 inch rim = "18-20" inch tires). I do think only a few seconds of test riding can be enough to get an idea if a wheel is for you or whether you don't like it. Some wheels may be an acquired taste, but some might just feel better right away.
  8. Some discussion of the S19 and alternatives to it has been moved from here to its own topic. Check it out if you consider the S19 but you are interested what comparable options there are.
  9. It's pretty cheap, too. If you get the latest version, I don't think there are any issues with it. For more money, there's the Patton/Commander Mini/Extreme/upcoming IM Adventure and even the S16 (low price!) with the same tire size as the T4. Great choice of wheels in this class (16 + suspension). The S19 has a bigger tire. That seems to be the most popular tire size among enthusiasts (well until now all the peak performance wheels were this tire size), but it's a bit different kind of riding I guess. You need to lean in more to get the same as from a 16 inch wheel. You can extrapolate from your 16X if you could live with a little less directly reacting wheel but a more comfortable/more stable tire that's easier to ride fast.
  10. These kind of numbers are totally meaningless, and (in general) I'm sure most of them are made up/pulled out of mostly nothing. There is no difference between a wheel going up a 40 degree incline or a 25 degree incline but with a heavier rider (so the same effort is needed). The very notion that you could measure the max incline that a certain wheel can go is crazy, I wouldn't know on what such a statement could possibly be based. Please ignore manufacturer grade numbers. There are two limitations in reality: A physical limit where an incline too steep simply is not possible because a part of the wheel (like a mud guard or the lower corner of the battery box) physically hits the ground. Just look at the wheel in question, and you see whether this will never be a problem for you, or whether something like going down stairs might make something hit the ground (e.g. the EX30 has quite low and far protruding stuff on it). How much "oomph" the wheel has and how real riders' experience tells it behaves. Does the firmware limit the power in a way so some inclines aren't really working out as one wants, or will the firmware just let you lean until you overpower the wheel? Is the perceived torque good (braking and acceleration)? And so on. Only experience from buyers will tell how "good" a wheel is for something, when they give their experiences. Now, whether the S19 is a "good" offroad wheel will depend on what exactly that is supposed to mean. People were riding offroad with any wheel that exists, before suspensions even were a thing. You can surely ride offroad with a 19 inch tire and suspension on a wheel like the S19. Maybe the tire is a bit too big and/or the S19 will be a bit too sluggish or heavy (in comparison to other options), but probably it's nicely balanced and you can offroad it just as well as any other wheel with the same tire size. The more demands you make for an "offroad" wheel (like making jumps, being lighter so it is easier to maneuver around, robust, elaborate suspension, ...), the more you can argue whether a certain wheel is "good" for what you want. Wheels are allrounders, there's no such thing as an "offroad wheel" in that you need one to go offroad. It's when you demand more (whatever exactly that is) that some wheel will be better than others, or simply more fun in that situation. As for the S19, wait for real rider's experience how it behaves offroad in comparison to other wheels. Then you know how "good" it will be for that. I fully expect it to be a competent wheel with a great suspension, and certainly good enough for the offroad romp once in a while. (The real difference between the T4 and S19 is the tire diameter. A smaller tire (T4) will always be more zippy, as one might enjoy offroads, than a bigger tire (S19).)
  11. Here's a video of the Canadian wildfires happening right now in Kelowna, BC. I couldn't help but notice that the guy was obviously riding a EUC, and indeed a V13 can be seen in the background when he takes a break. Wondering if that person is on the forum? I hope all is as good as it reasonably can be there! He also has a V13 review on his channel: (Sorry if that has been posted before.)
  12. Yes it is awful. I don't think the forum software allows replacing (or removing?) the search field. If we could, we would just remove it or have it open a Google search instead.
  13. Same for me. And it doesn't need to be interesting. It just needs to be good (for a lot of people). Moderate price and weight (*knock on wood*), top specs otherwise, most popular tire size (at least here) is what a lot of people will like.
  14. Yea this FB page is run by the same guy as the forum, but the mods are entirely different people. What is your FB username (maybe a link)? Do you have a link for the post you made there that got you banned? We can ask what happened, might just be a misclick - the FB group seems to get a lot of spam (from what I see before it gets deleted) - but we need a reference so they know what our request is about.
  15. You can't go wrong with Speedy Feet. https://www.speedyfeet.co.uk/en-eu/collections/electric-unicycle-one-wheel-segway There's also e-rides, which is UK based as far as I know, and a known quanitity. https://e-rides.com/
  16. I'm sure there are regulations about EM emissions for all electronics, but are they also about interference by external EM on the electronics themselves? I actually don't know.
  17. Yep, that sounds right. Or 16 inch with suspension, that might also be enough. You have a wonderful plethora of wheels to choose from! 18 inch: Master, Sherman-S, S19, S22, Commander GT (soon) 16 inch: S16 (soon), Patton, Extreme, Commander Mini, Inmotion Adventure (soon) and some others. Chose the one you just like best.
  18. We mods are extremely reluctant to just change someone's post. It just seems invasive, who wants their posts changed behind their back, personally I feel like this is a breach of trust. Even if there is an obvious mistake like this. In doubt we always let people do (and fix) their own thing. I did notice that during approval, but I guess I should have done something instead of the wait-and-see-and-do-nothing approach that was taken Well, now you guys said something (and had some fun with it) and I edited the sales post to be more clear. Thanks for the @.
  19. Heyo guys, I moved your posts from the sales topic the were in. Thanks for the heads up. In doubt, you can always "report" anything you see, this way every moderator gets a notification, and you don't clog up some poor guy's sales topic
  20. Hello, I changed the title. You surely are selling a King Song 16S, not the (as of now unreleased) S16.
  21. A Commander Mini with a bigger tire. Why not! Some people may want a "18-20 inch" (14 inch rim) wheel without the bulk of a 3600+Wh battery. This is essentially be a class of wheels akin to the MSuper line. I think it makes very much sense to release wheels like this. Surprised Begode didn't do it first. (I forgot the Master already exists.) Also... does the back bumper block the back light? Looks like it.
  22. Abrams-S is the logical next step (they will probably call it a different name after the lackluster reception and issues with the Abrams). That tire size (17 inch rim or even 18 inch like the Monster Pro) is missing. And maybe a 126V Sherman-S upgrade?
