WaveCut Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 There are tags about EUC so its definitely an EUC. Possibly with suspension, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Exciting! The more companies that introduce suspension systems the better. I wonder how China protects intellectual property patents? I would assume if IP patents do apply in China and Kingsong does introduce a new suspension system it would need to be a totally different design. Next up......Gotway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_bike_kite Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Shouldn't we have some wild guessing as to what's going to appear??? My random guess would be a new version of the KS18XL with suspension but with the mechanism not wrapped around the outside of the case. Then add 21700 batteries and the headlamp from the 16X. Same speed and range as before. Price a slightly higher than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same speed and range as before. Price a slightly higher than before. What if they are updating the 18S model or making at least something similar? The most likely option is 18X, something similar to 16X but with 18x3" tire and maybe (hopefully) some kind of suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_bike_kite Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 From an engineering standpoint it would make sense to add suspension to the 18S as there's lot's of space available for the hardware. Folk also use that wheel for seated riding and the suspension would be great for that. The huge downside though is that no-one seems to buy the 18S and you very rarely see ii appear in peoples list of wheels they own. The 18X would be a great idea and also wouldn't step on the toes of their current 16X. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unventor Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The 18S is an old build now. For it to sell better it need an update modern standards. I think KS talked about looking into suspension too. But they have been quiet about it. In a few days we will hopefully know more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now you have to build a test rig for reviewing suspension wheel. Oh this is going super fantastic to watch....just be careful. I can see a new unit named rehab 4.0 or 5.0 as ncap. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LeGiroquoi Posted April 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2020 I'm quite a newcomer to EUC (started only last spring) but it got me like a virus. Now my wheels are spreading and multiply! I have like 8 of them and I must say that I do recognize that my Nikola is the overall best I have. The 18xl is fine too, but I might part with it because it is redundant and doesn't have the wow factor that the z10 and 18s offer. Those last two, even if they are limited in many ways, are just my favorites. The z10 for obvious reasons, so different to ride. But the 18S, wow. I know the size is weird, not good looking, but the pleasure just to drive seated, wow. Just perfectly fits my size. Perfect for a lasy ride! A new iteration of the 18s would be sooooo nice 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unventor Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 @Eric plam I do like you post above a lot. It is about each wheel have its merits and seeing/riding them accordingly. Personal preference is hard to argue about as we all have different uses and needs. What you like about the Z10 is why I hold my KS16X high too. And since I don't ride for speed it works really well for me. My V10f on the other hand is my "smallest" wheel. Since it is light compared to my KS16X and KS18L it is easier to go for that short shopping ride. Plus it stores a little easier as it is slimmer (like under a seat in the cinema or hockey arena). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 So Jason just confirmed to me that KingSong's suspension based wheel is being released tomorrow, and that Kuji thinks it's a much better ride than the V11 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post travsformation Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 As a guy who owns 2 Kingsongs and no Gotways, the MSP has been starting to tempt me lately; but if KS can deliver an 18x3" wheel with the torque of the MSP, 21700 cells, a headlight that mixes the 16X's speed-dependent power with the lumens on the MSP, KS's usual quality and trolley handle, a (real) top speed of 50 km/h (I don't need any more than that) and no speed throttling until the 20-25% mark...I'm all in! Suspension, on the other hand, is a bit of a mixed bag for me. The dream wheel described above would weigh at least 30 kg if you add suspension, and I'm not entirely sold on the idea of suspension yet; Inmotion's concept looks interesting, but as a mostly off-road rider, I'm somewhat concerned about the variable pedal height that might result from adding suspension to the mix. Excited to see what they come up with all the same! And not sure why, since my injury + the lockdown have resulted in me only being able to put 170km on my 16X since I received it three months ago... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Kuji even get a V11 already? This year is full of unexpected surprises! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
