Popular Post yoos Posted July 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2021 Some new S20 rumors from ecodrift news telegram channel comments. Below is my outtake from comments made by the ecodrift representative: Apparently, the battery will be roughly twice the size as S18 (judging by the cryptic reply "S18 x 2 = S20"). Release is expected in August. The ecodrift staff guess an RRP around 200000₽ (=2310€=2740$). 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gon2fast Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Really hoping for this one. KS build quality is stellar and seeing the DIY tactics of S18 owners even further substantiates the functionality of the suspension design.

Mossi Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Is there a S20? All I saw was speculation in this thread: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryptych Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Whoever releases a 20" suspension wheel that can compete with the Sherman WINS PLANET EARTH ....its soooo obvious the market is hungry for this, why is it taking so long!?!?!

Menace Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 If those specs are true: 20" tire (same size as EX.n, Rs, Sherman, S18, V11, etc), 2500watts, and 2700wh, plus suspension; that would be amazing. I would want it to go at least 40 and cost about 3000 as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onkeldanuel Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 So basically you want a exn with Suspension from KS...think the Specs are realistic and hopefully they Release IT soon... But please No more wheel under 18" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But please No more wheel under 18" Some of us like the 16inch form factor! But I agree with you here actually. We have plenty of options to choose from in the 16in category. I am not sure we need more options there. I thought I read somewhere begode is re-designing the EX/EXN line. I wonder if this means a different suspension system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onkeldanuel Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Yes, that could be interesting also...i Ride a RS HT and would love to have some more battery and perhaps Suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MexicanBatman Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 I have a S18 with a RS tyre on it BOOM S20 LOL shame about the torque and range however… 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black rim looks sick on there with the red panels. If it weren't for the battery Id want one like that. Problem with the Rs tire (CST 1488) is that mine are smoked after about 2000 miles, so I have to replace them more often than Id like. Seriously though, that's an awesome s18!

Popular Post jmfc187 Posted August 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2021 Specs already floating around: 2220wh, suspension, voltage more than 100v, speed should be around 70kph, 20 inch tyre same as Sherman exn etc The only remaining question is: hole or not hole 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 126V (not confirmed) wheel for late 2021 hopefully equaling massive torque! Another deposit down... brace for Shane lashings LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UniVehje Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 This S20 sounds like my next wheel. I hope for great quality and don’t care about voltage. If it’s real 20x3” and not just 18x3” called 20” in marketing (as Veteran does), then it will probably feel sluggish not matter the voltage or torque. But that’s ok as I’ll keep my 16X for torquey feels and S20 for long rides. The battle for second gen suspension wheels is going to be interesting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Motorbike ride quality suspension for S20, fantastic. The Gotway wheel suspension looks like a copy of the S18. Seems to have a built in seat. One wheeled electric motorcycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another deposit down... brace for Shane lashings LOL. I like people paying into unproven wheels. I've done my tour, I'll sit back and let you other guys handle the next few. I'm no hurry and if a stellar wheel is released, it will still be stellar next year after a few tweaks. Besides, if NOONE rolls the dice on new wheels, the companies may run out of $$. It seems the 'new' is the selling agenda, over proven. I'm fine with that, you have at it! Besides, its much cheaper for me to watch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jimjam.nyc Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 It is hard to get excited for new wheels when the state of the current wheels is where it is at. Inmotion was only able to release 150 total of their new wheel with no sign of anymore coming anytime soon. Begode puts out safety statements that basically says call fire dept to charge your wheel for you. KS S18, v11, all Begode models, and even the Sherman(to a lesser extent) were all a bit of a crap shoot in terms of quality. Veteran can't build Sherman's anymore due to lack of parts. I know a lot of this will be fixed with supply chain blah blah.. But it's just tough to be excited by renders and promised specs right now for eucs. Being able to get a working safe wheel is hard right now. Please just make them work and be safe. Don't need a wheel that looks like a tie fighter, costs 3000+ dollars, and falls apart because it's made with garbage parts. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AtlasP Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) KS has never even built a 100v wheel, we have the threats of fire left and right, and yet so many are eager to bring the first experimental 126v wheel into your homes? Not I. It seems no-one is yet aiming for what I consider the sweet spot: 18x3 + suspension + 100v speeds + 1800+ Wh. I don't want larger than 18" (with the reduced torque/accel/braking) nor higher than 100v speeds or electrical risks. Just give me the best of the high-end 18" wheels from a few years ago with the promise of the suspension wheels as evidenced this past year, without compromises. I'll pay.

This is what I’m waiting for also. A reliable V11F would be enough. It’s so close already. The law of diminishing returns is kicking in soon with always more voltage, speed, size and more than 100 km of real world range. Time to compete on quality. Sadly it cannot be expressed on spec sheets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
