Yellowjacket Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Here it is February 2021. Has anyone received any information on the next production run (Batch 4?) of the S18? Just giving King Song a little more time to keep fixing some of the more obvious issues … 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch G Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I have a batch 3 S18. It doesnt have the wooden block and I havent had any issues with it. I would buy a batch 3 or 4 with confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lirva Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) S18 starting to get interesting, since it's not hollow motor. Is it ok for heavy rider? Edited March 10, 2021 by lirva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to drive quite carefully, however - no extreme off-roading for me -Z- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it ok for heavy rider? eWheels.com is specifying 300 lbs (136kg). Of course, the more you weigh, the more the wheel has to work, the less battery you get. https://www.ewheels.com/product/new-king-song-s18-1110wh-battery-2200w-motor-full-body-suspension/ It is a great motivator for a weight-loss program. 😁 Edited March 12, 2021 by Hangman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben_ Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I have my deposit down for a batch 4 S18 but they still haven't reached out for me to pay the rest. Maybe I'll email them today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUC Forest Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 How can you check if a S18 is V3 or V4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting mine over the next few days. Did you order from eWheels? If so, both our wheels were probably on the same container. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, That’s custom red reflective tape. from what I can tell for this latest batch of the s18 compared to my old one from sept 2020. There is no more block within the foot hanger. The mud flap has a much stronger holder. The motor wire no longer rubs against the foot hanger. Suspension was easy to set up out of the box. I greased up the areas near the shock. The lift handle is a bit annoying, does not balance whatsoever when partially lifted. Have to roll it fast then pop out the handle for it to balance.

Ben_ Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Got mine yesterday and I'm loving it so far! I don't know if this is a common problem but my handle doesn't latch when in the fully closed position. It's common for it to pop up into the carrying position while I ride. Might have to fix this with a couple magnets. Mine didn't come with a block in the suspension, and I haven't checked the rigidity of the mud flap yet. The suspension was a breeze to setup unlike my V11, but I don't like the included pump for the shock, it releases a considerable amount of pressure when unhooking it.

However if you’re riding above 2-3 mph the s18 won’t drop you. I use the rolling and locking into the minimum height of the handle a lot. Find it kind of annoying but getting used to it. Full extension of the handle is kind of flimsy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no real difference from my December batch. I have seen an updated "picture" of the wheel posted on the wheel sellers which appears to show red battery boxes, red battery wires, different suspension linkage and a slightly different looking shock.

Unless you mean this picture which is OLD. Original design that went out to the demos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
