Rotan Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I'd like to upgrade from my 14d, I'd like suspension but from what I read s-18 is a great idea that was put in practice poorly in the early models... but is it ok now? I can't find reviews of the 3rd batch, don't know what to do... Also don't know if KS will come out with an other suspension wheel this year. You have any insight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasP Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I agree with this comment: https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/21930-new-rider-needs-advise-inmotion-v11-vs-kingson-s18/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-357596 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotan Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Thanks, that topic was almost my same situation. But I'm curious if there's someone here with a very recent s18, like from February or January, to tell how is the situation right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachboy Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Mine batch 2 but seen the latest batch infact had a chance went out riding together with the owner. with no pressure in the shock, suspension have much smoother movement, altho that oversized washer still there. It seems also more efficient around 5% difference, I dont know how or maybe my battery already weakened. mudguard now flexing when squeezed, might hold some beating but that rear bottom frame won’t stand a chance in a crash anymore. And that rear plastic cover has thicker & stronger hook now, I think when snapped it open you will not break it anymore. No steel bricks on both sides anymore. KS now oiled all slider unlike mine when arrived was quite dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I have the first batch. I oiled the slides and removed the blocks. I did not have the spring washers. Mine has been great. I have not wrecked it as much as the MSX but no problems so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotan Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Here the comparsion between batch 1 and 2 seems huge, ragarding the suspension 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYC One Roll Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I am tempted to get the S18 back again as well. Sold off my eWheels s18 batch 2 last Sept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
