I'm so used to maxing out at 20 mph on my old wheel that 25 feels like why would I ever want to go faster. Beeps don't start on my Hero hs until 40 mph, so i need to start pushing myself more to go faster. Ive been riding an euc for a week but I used to skateboard and roller skate when I was younger so I guess I caught on pretty fast and For 15 years I was riding sport bikes at 150 mph and doing 100 mph wheelies so I have zero fear of speed .I sold my sportbike after my second back surgery and have been  looking for a new fun hobby and I definitely found it .these things are a blast ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I like the begode power pads it has a nice place to rest my calves and I can break super hard using them ..braking is definately a lot better now, for the first couple days I didnât put the pads on but now I see their benefits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esash Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 If anybody's wondering, the Hero's overheat warning beeps start at 76 degrees Celsius. Â 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, its a world of difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, its a world of difference. I agree, my first impression riding it was that the stock pad form factor when applied to recessed area on the sides of the Hero does not agree with my desired foot positioning. What i mean is when leaning back for braking, the braking part wasn't there when i needed it, it felt like it was still further back. That scared the shit out of me for a bit because i expected the pad to be there. I have since angled the pad up in the back a little bit so i can break easily now and on command for my foot positioning. I tried monocustomize pads leather (made the wheel wider and made it uncomfortable to ride, and too much friction on my leg from the leather to properly slide around), and tried clark pads (too small for me). Shane planet pads are good but transitioning to a sit down is going to be tricky with those . The stock Begode pads are the happy medium so far for me (only when its tilted up in the back), but I'm sure that will change the more comfortable i am with this wheel and what I'm looking for in my ride.

Very bad braking mechanics for me when going downhill. I basically go real slow down any significant hill just to make sure I can come to a stop at some point if needed. I'll try your tips and some other mods to get it dialed in, so thanks a lot for your comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foot too far forward on the pedal and/or not reaching the pad in the back with your leg probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using stock pads, angle the pads UP in the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ίl35 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I like this wheel, but I wonder if it is wise to buy a Hero? This wheel is not popular, and the Master takes all the attention of the community. Isn't there a risk that Begode will stop production of the wheel, and that it will become difficult to find spare parts? And the same situation for the after-sales products related to the wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the risk is quite high in that regard, many resellers don't even stock the model. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should buy a Hero, it's amazing and it has every single quality of life feature and superior durability too. Plus the technology is all highly proven. Which is why we haven't heard of a single malfunction of the Hero except for some people having squeaky suspension. Alien Rides even ordered a new batch of high speed Heroes, after they sold out a couple months ago. Sometimes the best wheel in the world isn't the one with the newest tech, it just might be the one with ALL the best and most proven tech with ALL the extra features. As far as lack of parts in the future, that's a theoretical situation that would be more important with a less reliable wheel. I'd go for the high speed version though, it performs exactly like an S22 but with superior build quality and features and reliability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILSONEUC Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 So is the DNM ao-38rc (190x50) the recommended shock for the Hero then or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting a bad rubbing sound when I turn right....I need to double check I put the pedal hanger screws in the right way (i.e. I think the long screw is in the wrong spot and scratching the motor cover) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
