The bad assness is even higher if we were the only who ordered it in black. They might end up being a collectors item. I might have to order a second one just to keep it in an unopened box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ..... Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I think the gold will compliment the color of mud and dirt, rather nicely. Black would show dust... can't have that! Itll wind up black as pieces fall off, so I can have it both ways. I do think I see mine sitting in that line-up. Its the one with the scared look on its face and completely off balance tire. Edited July 8, 2020 by ShanesPlanet 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven89 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I still think they both look nice. I preordered the black one...but they both are awesome I got a question about the shock: I've seen videos showing how to inflate the shock, about how to "change the suspension rebouncing" but I still don't get what the blue ring is used for..?

..... Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) @Steven89 to check and see if you've used full range of suspension at any point (bottom out). It moves down as the shock compresses, and stays there. Common tuning aid. Edited July 8, 2020 by ShanesPlanet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h3X Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 If you buy one color, can you change it just by buying another set of body panels? Is there any other difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine how I would choose between the two...they are both so perfect in their niche. Sell a kid or a kidney, you know you don't need both. How can a person NOT need a wheel for: 1)Basic use with music, reliable KS16/18 2)suspension wheel innovation, v11/sks18 3)tag along bundle of fun/power, mten 4)long range im outta here, sherman And as the disease gets worse, the reasons and list gets longer.... I am definitely ready to see what the suspension wheel is all about. Im also looking forward to getting too tired to ride, BEFORE my battery does. I'm currently nursing injury on both ankles, but if a new wheel showed today, I'd be off like a shot with ace bandages flying in the wind! Such exciting times. Better snag and enjoy what you can, WHEN you can. None of us knows what legislation or even life in general, will be in the future... Seize the day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patton250 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 After watching all these videos on the Sherman I’m considering canceling my S18 order. It’s just seems boring in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just seems boring in comparison. I dont see that at all. They both seem to be so vastly different to me. I havent spent a single brain cell on the idea that the sherman is nearly as capable in the woods as the s18. Don't get caught up in comparing them, I think they will both be great but for very different reasons. I am assuming that I'd much rather ride my s18 up the mountain for a short off road adventure. I mean hell, even picking the sherman up from a ditch= 70lbs! Is anyone hopping UP curbs on the sherman? Hows it do when you come to a big log in the woods? If the lure of speed and range is your idea of excitement, your choice should be obvious. If manageable weight, suspension and general offroad mayhem is your excitement, I'd think the sks18 would be more your flavor. I was shopping for a long range wheel, a while ago. Sorry, but the gotway monster didnt have me impressed for quality. WHen the sks18 came out, I preordered it immediately. I do think I'll have more 'fun adventure' on the sks18 than the sherman. I also think I'll just cruise the shit out of the sherman. Both enjoyable, but not nearly the same(rally car vs suv). One wont replace the other i dont think. Dig deep, recycle some cans and polish off those old pimping skillz.... daddy needs new wheels Edited July 9, 2020 by ShanesPlanet 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find a friend or if your dealer is willing perhaps they can provide you a panel of a different color to do a blend of B&W.

travsformation Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Why on earth did they go with the brass-colored suspension? I know this is entirely subjective, but this looks tacky as hell to me...the silver, bare-metal look was so sleek, appropriate (brass-colored suspension on dirt bikes isn't a thing is it?) and would have looked mucho better IMO on both the black AND the white model. A further hint to the Ducati Monster? Silver (or black, or dark matte grey) would look so much better on this bike too... Well, thus is life... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes 😂 In all seriousness though, curbs shouldn't bee too big of a deal on the Sherman. But I think jumps on the S18 are gonna be way fun =] Exciting to see more production progress, thanks for the updates, @Jack King Song! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krylon don't care where you're from! I do prefer the silver as the gold seems out of place. But hell, a little paint, never stopped me. Just another small detail, especially easy if you were to maintain those wearing pivots or replace the shock at any time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jj Luo Posted July 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2020 On 6/17/2020 at 1:23 PM, Daniel Hollinghurst said: Hi there, i cant find any more info on the ewheels "780Wh external battery option" for the s18. all i've found is the 780Wh 42Volt version, which wouldn't work on an EUC since they're 84V... This is the response I got from Ewheels. "We do have a 780Wh King Song battery bank in stock, which if used with the S18 would get you up to 1890Wh, for $650. It would be carried in a backpack and trickle charge the main batteries. on some models, like the Inmotion, the moment you plug in the power, it cuts the motor. King Song permits you to charge-on-the-go. For the question about the rate of charge, relative to consumption, it's rated for 3A x 84v = 252W, anything excess of this & you'll be operating in 'deficit mode'. It should not affect the battery longevity at all. " For those who are interested in the KS external battery, check out Monsieur Flex's review. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfoxdude Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I don't know why we're talking about gold or brass suspension, I'm gonna call mine orange fury!! 🤣 I kinda like the color pop tho. The first opportunity I get, I'm probably gonna paint the battery housings red, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
