Thank you! Do you have experience of how to change the LEDs? I had updated to 2.39 but still can't see an obvious way to customise the LEDs via the app.

Ah I hadn't realised they had a support email - thanks so much for sharing! I'll let you folks know if I get anywhere with it

There's been a firmware update which includes "cycling and leisure status LED light effects 4 support APP color settings". It sounded hopeful but I can't figure out what's changed or if it gives more control of the LEDs, I wish the app wasn't so cryptic... Has anyone else had more luck? For the first time since starting riding 7 years ago, I was stopped recently by police (here in UK), amazingly not because the EUC isn't legal on the road, but because the rainbow lights aren't legal for road riding! Very keen to see this sorted (for safety and more general discretion with the wheel) - I think the ideal would be to have 'road safe' mode for LEDs where: - entire tail LEDs are constant red (which simply become brighter when braking). - no indicators (I think these are more dangerous than helpful) - ability to set fixed colour for all front LEDs, or to switch them off entirely --- Please sort this Kingong - the wheel is otherwise great but forcing rainbow LEDs really isn't practical!

Hi folks! I received my new s19 a couple of days ago (upgrade from trusty 18l) My thoughts so far: - It's big! I hadn't appreciated the size of the s19 until I saw it in person. Compared to the 18l at least, this is a substantial step-up and it feels like a vehicle. It's a different class really in terms of usability - where I was comfortable wheeling the 18l into all sorts of places (shops / gym etc) as a very transient device, the s19 is much more imposing. It's fine, but quite different and something I hadn't fully appreciated until recieving. - The ride is incredibly plush and stable - it eats up hills, and feels very safe and balanced. That said, I feel less agile and quickly manoeuvrable than I did with the 18l - a combo of the weight, taller stance and pads restricting some movement. My big wishes for this wheel (please address Kingsong!): - Provide options to switch off LEDs entirely, and/or option to switch LEDs to a single colour - and also to be able to set the tail light to be always red (rather than only when braking). To be fixed with the rainbow-look while riding really isn't ideal and provides no option to be discreet (which can be important here in the UK where we're often keen to minimise attention from police etc). Also, it's safer to ride on roads/cycle paths with a simple red tail-light. The LEDs might be cool for some - but it's a frustration for me that there are no options to switch-off or change/customise the look. - Similarly, there should be option to switch off the sound effects - again these are problematic in the office or in public places and (for me) make the wheel feel more like a toy. Again, it just needs option to switch them off rather than having them as a forced thing. I really hope these things can be updated in the firmware soon! Otherwise, on initial impressions, this seems like a great wheel.

I rode passed a woman and her young daughter a week or so ago. The girl pointed at my wheel and said 'What's that mummy?' The mum said 'It's a roller skate darling...' Not. Even. Close. Crikey, the misinformation that is passed to kids these days...

This is concerning and frustrating to hear. Penalties like this seem so heavy-handed and flawed - if it was a child or non-driver they couldn't be given points on their driving license! My understanding is that it's not possible to insure an EUC in UK because they're not an approved/recognised road-worthy vehicle type (see here). That's quite an old article now though, does anyone know if things have changed? If I could insure & tax my EUC I would do at the drop of a hat.

Nice image! Funnily enough I was thinking about this the other day too. EUC is the only vehicle that isn't stable without 'drive', so it's effectiveness as practical transport is entirely down to its reliability/failure rate. Because EUC doesn't 'freewheel' when no power and because rider is standing & already pretty vulnerable in terms of stability, I'd imagine that even with a stabilising front wheel a cutout would likely be too jarring to control in many cases & especially at higher speeds. Could be wrong there though!
