New King Song KSS18 with Suspension

Recommended Posts

Like:

  • The way it looks.
  • The price.
  • Suspension!
  • The weight is surprisingly manageable.
  • It makes the Inmotion V11 look dated.
  • Trolley handle.

Dislike:

  • The range (battery size), though I don't see where they could put more cells with their suspension design.
  • Top speed...Typical Kingsong, make it 60km/h dammit!
  • It makes the Inmotion V11 look dated.
  • A lot of moving parts (stuff that "will" break).

 

Probably more to come in each category once people get their hands on it. I'm stoked either way. :-)

A lot less people (read: everyone) are going to crash with suspended wheels, because 10 cm happens to be greater than most speed bumps and curbs that wipe out riders at night.

However, looking at that spring, I'm estimating it's only 5-6 cm of travel. Where's the other half?

So no off-roading for this one.

In the link arm mechanism. The whole complicated link arm system is in place so that a short amount of travel at the shock would translate to the 10cm at the tire.

Lack of a trolley handle? Or at least I have not yet seen footage of one?

The trolley handle is just like the Gotway MSX but directly over the axle. There is a pic somewhere on the forum or Facebook... 

P.S. you may want to check out the many threads under the Kingsong channel. There be many many posts scrutinizing everything.
