helmet Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi, I want to get a new EUC. I currently have a 14D and I really enjoy riding it when it's fully charged. What I enjoy is the torque and maneuverability and light weight/small footprint. I especially like exploring new places with it. I could totally learn a new city in a couple days with this device. It starts getting sluggish on me after like 4 miles because I weight 206lbs. Then I don't feel the same security of having power and fun factor torque. Getting those tilt backs is a total fun killer and it's not safe. The things I want to upgrade are: longer rides with similar fun factor torque and maneuverability, high speeds are not as important to me (15mph is really fast enough 21-25mph would totally suffice), off road ability, not be overly big or heavy or look to conspicuous like a motorcycle on a bike path or sidewalk. I was thinking Inmotion V10F or KS-16S. Would those still be zippy like the 14" wheel or should I just get a 14S? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Gotway MCM5! 14 incher, but extremely powerful and in another league compared to all other 14 inchers (of which there aren't really many). Definitely get an MCM5 before going for a 14S. The latest MCM5 v2 even has a 2.5 inch wide tire, making it even better offroads. 23 minutes ago, maslorithm said: I was thinking Inmotion V10F or KS-16S. I think those would be a bit different wheels, not as zippy, but much more comfortable and smooth at speed than a 14 incher. An entirely new experience and not necessarily a bad choice! In that case, go for the V10F (or one power step up for a Nikola or a 16X, but those are almost 18 inchers). I can't really recommend the 16S nowadays, I'd take a V10F (better overall package) or Tesla (more speed and power) over it any day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmet Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Thanks! For some reason, in the back of my mind I wanted to investigate MCM5. I think I would have the best experience keeping with a 14" wheel because it's really so fun and usable to be able to zip and zoom around on a full charge. The speed limit in my city is 18mph on scooter type devices. I do think an argument could be made in court that this is more like an electric bicycle though than a scooter. I feel awkward just trucking down the road like a turtle at a slow speed on the 14D, yet any faster would be illegal anyways and more dangerous. So it seems like it's going to be a Gotway Egg for me. I'm going to think it over for a few more days though. If only a lightweight device, like 15lbs existed for a device like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip W Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) I am keeping my 3 year old KS-14C and just add a big external battery to it. I built a piano-bench chair for my Kingsong and it is super comfy. I will put the external battery under the chair and above the zinc bars. Now I have the long range and the casual comfy experience. No need to buy a new EUC. Edited September 10, 2020 by Philip W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmet Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 That's clever, I bet it's actually fun to ride. It made me laugh though. I was trying to figure out how to mount mine on my bicycle. Good use of King Song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
