Y’all are about make me go boot up the wheel just to make sure I am not going deaf It's been a couple of weeks. I'll have to power up the 18XL tonight to see if it's as annoying as I've been saying it is, while standing still. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I’m haven’t gone crazy or deaf yet. I just tested this loud thing. I even took some younger ears with me; two of my sons. We tested the sound while keeping the wheel still. We booted the XL first. This is what we agree to have experienced: 1. upon booting the wheel we could clearly hear the zzzzzzing, or whine as you guys call it; easily noticeable. 2. After it idled for a few seconds the loud zzzzing died down and the wheel was very quiet; barely perceptible to us. 3. I trolleyed it around the room, and the sound increased, but died down in the same manner as the first time after a few seconds. 4. We then booted the 18L and repeated the experiment. 5. We noticed that the zzzzzzing from the 18L was more perceptible, but still very low after dying from movement or a few seconds of idling. Based on what I just tested I conclude that It seems both me and @Marty Backe are correct. He complained about the sound in elevators. When I trolleyed the wheel, as one would entering an elevator, the sound was very perceptible. However, when it was still, as I usually am in an elevator, very little sound was perceptible to us. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been listening to it with extra attention because of the discussion about the new quiet Gotways. I'm not saying my 18XL is totally silent, but sometimes I can't hear it even when I am straining to do so. Other times I can hear it, but it's so minimal that it's easy not to notice. Definitely in elevators there is no sound from my 18XL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Know this “elevator situations”, too, as i commute to work every day, but since i have the 18L my collagues never looked around or asked anything. Thank you Ulf. I knew that I wasn’t deaf to the rest of y’all who suggested so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely in elevators there is no sound from my 18XL. im 28, unfortunately its a fact that with every decade your ability to perceive certain frequencies diminishes or disappears altogether .. especially for men and especially for high frequencies.. probably why i can hear it loudly while idle across the room.. my hearing is already very good as it is, i can often hear sounds coming from electronic devices where most people would say there is none at all.. a good example is CRT monitors.. i constantly hear a very high pitched frequency coming from them whenever im near one, havent met someone else who could hear it Edited June 14, 2019 by Rywokast 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely in elevators there is no sound from my 18XL. I tried the wheels I was interested in when I recently bought my first proper wheel. I saw tons of reviews and impressions on YouTube and I thought I could never get the KS18XL due to its high pitch. I thought it would be too annoying. Fortunately, it was not that laud and annoying that I got the impressions of when I tried it, so I ended up buying it. It didn’t take a long time for me to be used to it, but if I could choose, I would of course prefer that it was completely quiet. I am very happy with my choice, and I would buy it again. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Garrie Lim Posted June 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2019 My friend is currently at Kingsong factory doing a tour. He had a chance to ride the ks16X. This are some points about the 16X that he liked. Larger(wider?) pedals compared to 18XL and pedals are magnetic. Acceleration and braking torque seems much better and responsive compared to Nikola. Confirmed weight of 24+ kg 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed weight of 24+ kg Good acceleration and braking ist more important for me then range and max speed, if that wheel has no major issues its my next wheel next summer.
