In my wheel-dreams someone should make a wheel as a combination of the 16X and the RS. They did. I thinkbita called a T4...... and it even has suspension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to put on the right tire and some firmware tweaks. No... to much trouble with that wheel. Completely lost any confidence in that "product". I would have bought one but gave op - thankfully And anyway, it's only a 16" and far to complicated to disassemble for repair / tire change . The Begode is simple. Simple shitty china , but at least it works . And if not; Easy repair ( i hope so ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes (and no) maybee - but i'll wait to buy a wheel with suspension until this whole suspension circus has moved from the cradle to something mature, usable, durable and well functioning. 2-3 years from now ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a long time period to wait imho. In that time, a suspension could save you from a crash. Meanwhile, possible problems from suspension seem more limited.

Is the "cradle" the style that's on the s22 and Master? If so, why don't you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0000 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Before I heard about EUCs my PEV arsenal was 1 DIY all-mountain e-bike and 1 DIY 9KW street weapon e-bike that still manages to look like a bike and pedals. Then, as a latecomer, I got the bug we all know as EUC and very quickly the RS took the place of my all-mtn e-bike. So I'm a one wheel (not that OneWheel) and one e-bike kinda guy. I like how each plays to their strengths which will hopefully keep me out of the hospital in the long run. The wheel for everything short-to-medium distance, low-to-no traffic, and off-road. The road e-bike for everything long-distance and traffic-related. I may eventually get a suspension wheel if one strikes my fancy a good while after ya'll work out the bugs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the RS too and it seems to be capable of filling many roles. My only gripe is that without suspension, I’m forced to slow down for potholes. Edit: also I wish it had a better trolley. The off-center trolley is quite poor and strains my wrist. Edited September 21, 2022 by 360rumors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there with ya, the design of the RS gets a lot of things right IMO, but the trolley handle was definitely a design compromise/non-prioritized feature. I busted mine pretty early on and excavated in favor of plugging the holes. In any case, I'm planning to design a standard bicycle seat mount adapter + removable trolley handle in the near future. If I do an alright job of it, I'll put the files and instructions up on printables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, cradle was a kind of synonym for all of EUC's with suspension. The same as for disc brakes on street bikes. To flimsy, constructed from cheap material, to great tolerances. Works like shit unless you do heave modifying by yourself. Changing parts, adding parts. Trying to fix something new that you just bought, to get it working...
