Rake Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I have a ninebot one S2 from new with about 200 miles on it and I can get a king song KS14D for about £340, I saw the tech specs and see that the 14d has more motor more power better hill climbing etc etc - is it worth the upgrade ? The KS14D I found has 700 miles on it and it’s in very clean condition. thanks in advance Edited January 10, 2021 by Rake Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like an mcm5 or a v10f or maybe a 16x would be where i would look for an upgrade after having a starter wheel. The 14d is really just another starter category wheel and i think you will be looking to upgrade again almost immediately. If you coyld sell the s2 for the cost of the 14d i would do it, but otherwise i woyld save up and move up a tier of wheel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I wouldnt risk it. Even new eucs are rolling the dice. If your s2 works fine, yuo may as well upgrade to a REAL jump in difference. Nothing wrong with owning two similar wheels, but I'd imagine you may still want a bigger one within a few miles of riding the 14d. Save up and step into a 16 or 18 perhaps and then youll have more clear cut choices of wheel for different rides. I guess i'm pretty much sayng exactly what @GoGeorgeGo just said.

You saw that everyone, I didnt mention the 18L. You have just purchased the exact type as my first and still favorite wheel. I find it to be a perfect balance of what I want for a comfy daily driver. I got the 18L barely used and at a steal too! Snag a rollNZ cover for it, make sure it has the large pedals and check the trolley. Once you dial that baby in, you're good to go for many miles. Used isnt always a bad thing, as it can indicate that its not going to fail in the very beginning. MANY CONGRATS, solid choice and I'm betting you got it for a great price.

Rake Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Just back from a 15km or 10 mile ride on the S2 and met a guy with an 18 - whoa did that thing go. looking forward to learning the KS18L! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
