I'm assuming it's cleverly placed stand plus possibly photoshop. Neat effect though, I wanna try to take some shots like that with my wheels! =P Damn I hoped it could! I figured maybe with it on and the 3 inch wheel it would. Please excuse my ignorance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please excuse my ignorance! Ah, you'd need a tire with a pretty darn flat profile to do that. I don't think such a tire would handle very well. A rounder profile is more nimble and fun =] (in my humble opinion, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circuitmage Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) The thing that sticks out for me on this (aside form the suspension bracket) is the tail light. Wow...nice.

SUrely we've all seen those modified euc of India? You know, the one's where someone nails a bunch of pallets on a wheel. Then they toss in 100's of batteries of questionable quality, and rides it down the dirt path, across an open sewage ditch, between 50 3 wheeled cars to tend to their goats?

Popular Post Scottie888 Posted July 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hey guys, just wanna give a shoutout here. I just jumped off the deep end joined the KingSong crew with an order of the S18. I already have a Tesla V2 1480ah to do longer rides cum city commuter/explorer duties. In another thread, I was advised (correctly I might add) to choose the Mten3 512 as a fun tricks parkour wheel to spend an afternoon in the park. While I was at it ordering the Mten3, I took another look at the S18 & boy o boy, did it remind me of my ex Ducati Monster S4R. After 15mins of hummin & haaa'in, the lil' voice inside (which I'm assuming its the Devil, atleast thats what I'm gonna say when wifey finds out) shouted out to me .... JUST DO IT! JUST DO IT! Being the weak man that I am, I easily caved. WTH in for a penny in for a pound! Now I'm all set to assault the backwoods & hills (hopefully I can come out alive or in one piece atleast). Can't wait 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you say its useless? Slightly "useless" (both the slightly and quotes are important) as in: You buy it for the fun and looks and novelty of having the best suspension (for the foreseeable future). As your only wheel or as a wheel with a dedicated "serious" purpose, you would probably get another ("more reasonable") model with more speed, range, power. To me, the S18 is a "you don't need it, but you sure want it" wheel. Like buying a sports car or something like that. Don't get me wrong, it's only a question of money why I'm not buying an S18, it's sweet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gas guzzler for sure, but its darn fun while it lasts for however long. Can't have too many sports cars or sport trucks! 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am speaking for myself For quite a lot of my typical rides, the range wouldn't cut it (not by much, but notable). As a secondary commuting wheel I would definitely love an S18! It just wouldn't work as my only wheel. As it wouldn't for speed riders e.g. That's all I meant. Enjoy your commute, it seems perfect for that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm thinking about just keeping my Z10 as a backup with the S18. Yaa honestly u do & I dare say most of us (if not all) do. There isn't one wheel that can do it all much like autos or bikes or even bicycles. Even though the S18 is mighty purrrty & reminds of my Duc, that isn't enough for me to pull the trigger. This is what convinced me..... I'm getting the S18 as an MTB equivalent. If I can keep up to 'em MTBs in the bike parks, trails &or even downhill, that would be fun. Did I say fun...I meant FUN! Suspension & comfort usually go hand in hand but I'm not looking for that. I'm want control! Control on jumps, ruts, rocks & control when I catch air & land! This is the only wheel ATM that comes close to competing with MTBs. So ya, we need a city commuter wheel & everyone needs an Mten3 just cos its so freaky awesome. Then those of us into MTBs need this S18. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steef Klonoa Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 @Scottie888 he's really outdoing the mountain bikes in this vid. I'm ready for his next video of the S18, I'm sure it will be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
