Imagining alleviating foot pain by seating is just too tempting. Do I need help? Eith black friday around the corner I'm getting antsy...Would love to hear the thoughts of the community!! Stats: 6'4, 195lbs Situation: Wheel with seat and 1600+ battery, suitable primarily for city riding. Choices: 1) KS18s 1680wh (~22kg) Lowest price: £1200 Pros: - lighter weight - reasonably priced - XL pedals available - tank - like shell - increased waterproofedness - Kingsong quality - thinner shell Cons: - only 1500w motor - older 67.2v generation wheel - darth vader/sea horse style shell - near end of life cycle design - "safe" option 2) Monster 1600w/2400w 84v - m super x board (56 - 72lbs) Lowest price: £1600/£1900 Pros: - "adventurous" option - 84v - "comfier" seat - 22" wheel! eats everything for breakfast - its tha monster!!! Luxury of E wheels Cons: - non XL pedals - lack of waterproofedness - "brittle" shell - creaks when mounting - nearly end of life cycle design - faster battery consumption rate (due to likelihood of higher speeds) - boxy design - $$$ - heavy weight (2400w more so) - less manevourable in city traffic -"shoddy" gotway internal organisation 3) Monster 100v 1884wh (??kg) Lowest price £1950 Pros: (including above) -more future proofed - more power - lighter weight for battery amount Cons: (incl. above) - $$$$ 4) Wait - for new "KS18sXL" with KS18s body and KS18L power (ETA n/a) - for new Monster with revamped body style and better internals (ETA n/a) - stop dreaming about seated riding and just stick with standing what do y'all reckon IMHO. I would say that it's worth it to wait a few more months to see if KS is actually going to do a tall form factor wheel with more contemporary specs. They are certainly surveying potential customers about this on FB. A Monster is a really heavy wheel for daily commuting. If you can't wait then the current 16S is a fantastic wheel for daily commuting; its lighter and you can add an aftermarket trolley handle. I learned to ride on this form factor, and it is a tank. It can take all kinds of abuse and will keep on trucking. If you like seated riding there is no better wheel for it. In the photo below you can see my two KS18AY wheels with aftermarket trolley handles. This handle made commuting really easy, and didn't at all interfere with the use of the seat.
