JonTheMad Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 In terms of specs, weight and quality of build are there any good alternatives to the kingsong ks 16s? The 16s has after all been on the market now for quite a while. Is there really nothing new that has arrived or that is going to arrive in the near future? Or is the 16s still the king of the not too big sized wheels? The 16x looks nice but sooo heavy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kens Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) May I offer you the MCM5? + Bigger motor + smaller diameter = Ludicrous mode acceleration + Newer - Smaller battery (800wh is plenty for personal riding unless you do groups ride or going more than 30 miles on a single charge. But if so then you should go for 1600wh wheel anyway) Edited June 3, 2019 by Kens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonTheMad Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Thanks for your reply! I haven't considered mcm5 before so I'm going to see what information I can find out about out! In terms of range I believe slightly less than 16s will still suffice for my needs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) The mcm5 is a 14” wheel, which is great fun (nimble) but can get tiresome if the ground isn’t even. I’ve done close to 1000km on 14” (NB S2) I got the 16S recently (600km) and its a nice powerful and handy wheel, but feels a bit old school with the wide battery cheek. AFAIK the main alternative to the KS16S is the Tesla. Edited June 3, 2019 by Mimolette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla v2 with cutoff button and speakers, or 16S v2 with cutoff sensor and metal handle are the two new smaller 16 inchers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonTheMad Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 V10f looks like a great wheel but isn't it quite alot heavier than the 16s? Or is it not much of a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose, or something between the V8 and the V10. The V10 seem a bit special with the thick tyre and heavy weight, maybe a category with the 16X and Nikola? The announced range is apparently a bit optimistic. I don't know really, only ridden the 16S and Ninebots Weight: KS16S: 17,4Kg, Tesla 19Kg, V10F: 20,6Kg Edited June 3, 2019 by Mimolette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know really, only ridden the 16S and Ninebots Weight: KS16S: 17,4Kg, Tesla 19Kg, V10F: 20,6Kg I feel the 16S is like the V8 - old. The 16X isn't available yet and it's going to be a heavy wheel like the ACM. So I think it comes down to the V10F and Tesla. They both have the approximately same battery capacity. If you want performance go with the Tesla. If you want an arguably better ride experience, go with the V10F. 50 minutes ago, JonTheMad said: V10f looks like a great wheel but isn't it quite alot heavier than the 16s?
