Popular Post Lennon Posted August 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2021 Just got my new Power Pad (not sure official or 3rd party) from KS. Feel good with them. I am not a speed rider but the pad are really good for handling. The most important is......cheap. RMB260/ pair. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoos Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Great to see there is an offical version and that it is quite affordable! Is the material soft or hard? Grippy or slippery? Do you think the ribbing will hold up well? Any idea why the mid-section of the ribbing is slanted instead of vertical (and why there is an S-shaped part)? That part looks like superficial design without functional purpose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part looks like superficial design without functional purpose. It's just a cosmetic reference to S18, as in an "S" with 18 ribs inside!

However, they should have thought before fully mirroring the design between left and right, since now it's "S18" on one side and "Z18" on the other 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really soft but strong enough to hold my leg in position when trying to slow down or stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noduh Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I was looking at those on Ali Express today. They do look pretty good, and great price. I'd love to see a full review of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NErider Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I ordered a set too. I've been waiting for something like this to be available. Its strange how little after market support there is for this wheel. At least in the US. No pedals ever, and just now pads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The english version of the website [it's a shop affiliate to ecodrift mostly dedicated to EUC tuning] is out of date, but the russian page has the S18 pedals for ~200$ and they offer international shipping and plenty of ways to contact them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunstrong Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Just wondering if anyone who bought this is still using these pads? They are the first ones that come up in my Google search, but it seems like more people are actually using the mono customize pads. I wonder if these are just as good but much cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobjj Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Anyone using these pads still happy with them? Trying to decide between this or a DIY option for extra power for accelerating up hills and slowing down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jump blocks won't help with this. I have heard the Russian Leather ones are great for comfort but don't offer enough support to use as powerpads.

EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Even though the Jump-Blocks are not meant to be used for acceleration or braking, they do help a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobjj Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Yeah not the jump blocks, the pads from aliexpress.. the russian leather ones look great but are too expensive, I'll get the aliexpress ones or make my own! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
