Popular Post ..... Posted August 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2020 9 hours ago, Marty Backe said: Great video, but rather depressing regards the S18. Wow I can tell you that the V11 has amazing power that would pull you up any hill. They've gotten the firmware just right that it senses the need for power and gives you more than you need so the sensation is that you are being pulled. Very nice. And adjusting the suspension is super quick. During my demo day I was changing the suspension multiple times for different people and it wasn't a hassle at all. Had a 120-pound person riding it and a 230-pound person, and in between weights. Thanks Marty. Not so depressing, I flipped my mood with a simple few feet of rolling on the 18L . Aside from the little bs, the clencher about the s18 was the lack of on demand power. Im sure the wheel has lots to give, but it doesnt do me any good if I can't tap into it. I really do think suspension feels great, but theres a few flaws need addressed before Im totally on board. I will revisit the v11, but my desire to be in the pre-order isnt so strong. Hopefully the Sherman does better for me. Since Im waiting until next season to dabble in another wheel, Im looking into a scooter for the wife. Torn between the Pacer and lightining. One is 50lbs the other near 80lbs. The gear head in me says to drop the coin and go big or go home. The reasonable person in me, says to make due with the lesser. We should already know what hold more sway, as Im not the most reasonable person around. Anyhow, thanks for watching, hopefully I didnt sound too much a whiney bitch as usual. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daley1 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 If u find the s18 a piece of dog excrement,then good on u for calling it out.People are excited about suspension but if u can't ride the wheel to get ur heart pumping,u should a taken it to the highest bridge and filmed it flying into the great blue yonder!Suspension will be great but only as a compliment to an EUC that has sufficient ,range,power and speed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Latvian. https://youtu.be/LeeY1ELzJj8 Nice video! One of the biggest things that lures me to the 'sport', noone knows wtf it is. Since noone knows, I'm far less likely to face opposition and more likely to face bewilderment. Bewilderment is a safer reaction. One thing for sure, you can use it as a convo starter for all those pretty ladies out there. .You just gotta wear a bright red rubber nose perhaps? Not so sure you can claim that "anyone can ride it" tho Edited August 4, 2020 by ShanesPlanet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing both of you guys are doing is treating the S18 experience as a "suspension" experience. Power delivery has nothing to do with the suspension. That is, because the S18 sucks for you, all suspension wheels suck. This is absolutely false. I guarantee that the V11 gives lots of power with very little input from the user (no need to squeeze the shell or excessively lean forward). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee that the V11 gives lots of power with very little input from the user (no need to squeeze the shell or excessively lean forward). I never went so far as to say the s18 was total shit. I also know that a wheel is the sum of its parts. I don't really care if it has the BEST of something, the 'experience' is the total package. It could have best of everything but a shit battery and the verdict would remain. I'm selling it and looking for something else. Quite the contrast of your statement, I never said ALL suspension wheels suck. I actually have been saying that the suspension and feel in general is a great idea. I quite liked the suspension feeling. BUT, a wheel is more than just a suspension. I have no idea what the v11 is like. I mentioned that I was considering it now. I think you are twisting this up Marty. I would like to try the v11, its the 1st batch jitters that are holding me back. I'm still nervous of the sherman preorder. If it arrives with screws missing and firmware snafu's and doesnt do much more for me than my 18L, I'll be disappointed in it as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that you were associating the lack of accessible power with the suspension and I feel that there's zero relation. My mistake. I think you're setting yourself up to be forever disappointed if there are missing screws, firmware issues, etc. It sucks, but this is the life of an EUC rider - dealing with subpar quality. I reset my expectations loooong ago and have been happy ever since 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post supercurio Posted August 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) I'm happy to join this video thread with a first contribution, after learning to ride recently. It's a 4k 60 fps video with overlays of a ride around Stockholm, full length. And I'm happy to report that the V10F behaves well in hill climbing for my weight (63 kg, 139 lb) on the type of climbs that can be found around here. Since I'm coming from the Alps it doesn't seem like much of a climb, but that's all there is nearby anyway!

Well here it is, another ride with the best riding partner I can have, my 9 year old son. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
