Red is the standard colour for rear lights while blue lights are actually illegal here in the UK. Hopefully you can change the colour to red. It turns red when riding. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonG Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Does anyone know about acceleration or breaking for the T4? Also, what would be a safe top speed. It would be sad if acceleration is less than the RS… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolluS Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Hello all, Ordered there: https://www.dhgate.com/product/newest-begode-t4-electric-wheel-100v-1800wh/788308028.html For a limited time, you can chat with the seller and get a 6% coupon (told them Reynald (me) gave you the recommendation), bringing down the price to 2350$. Edit: I must say I have no experience with DHGate nor this seller, so you need to put your own balls on the table, I offer no personnal warranty for the transaction, anyway, chating with Kyrese from iWheel EU Store on Ali who promoted me his fitness_equipment_ store on DHGate, with a nice rebate.

Popular Post Murdomeek Posted August 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2022 I tried ordering with DH gate before. Terrible experience. Ordered a wheel in March with 3 month lead time. Expected to arrive in June. Perfect for the summer. Shipping time checks out with typical sea freight shipping times. They gave me a shipping label 1 week after ordering. Great! June rolls around, the shipping label hasn't updated. I message the seller. They ignore me until days before the 'guaranteed arrival date'. They tell me: "Sorry! That wheel is out of stock. Do you want this inferior model instead?" WTFFFFF. They took my $3.5k as an 'interest free loan'. Wasted 3 months of waiting. I had to buy a used one locally for $4.2k to not waste my summer without a wheel. I reported to the system and got refunded in a few weeks. Borderline scam. And there is no way for you as the customer to have any guarantees that this won't happen. They'll just take a few grand, wait out the shipping, and say "'sorry out of stock. Here's your money back". To make it worse, tracking doesn't usually update until the boat arrives at the port. 0/5 stars. would not recommend. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never order anything more expensive than 100$ from those places. As you get zero warranty.. Great place for buying cheap nik-naks doh.

Popular Post adrianqbs Posted August 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hi boys, Greeting from Malaysia. Due to our fortunate proximity to China, the first units of the T4 have already been delivered and I've tried the unit bought by my friend out (my own should be arriving in a couple of weeks). My RS19 HT is now sold and am impatiently waiting for delivery. The pricing here is about USD2000. Likely due to cheaper shipping, overhead costs and taxes. I wouldn't say that I'm in any way qualified to provide a quality review. But it'll be definitely going on twisty mountain roads once I receive it. Will be happy to answer any questions anyone might have or provide some close up pictures on certain angles if you guys need. Just PM and I'll compile a post here. On the question of a knobby tyre, there an extensive forum thread here - I've only been able to find the 'Cheap knobby tyre 1' as reviewed by @Tinkererboi on Taobao. But due to the extreme knobby-ness, not sure how it will perform for street riding although the reviews seem very positive. Wrongway did post a video when he was on break in Sweden or something where the guys he was riding with a cut knobby, so the knobs should be similar to the Taobao tyre. Seem to remember that he did give some ride impressions on that tyre, but I can't seem to find that video anymore. Pretty sure that Begode will be sourcing a suitable knobby and have that for us soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like on AliExpress, it's all about vendor. I think iWheel Eu Store (also known as Lomoo but specific administrative setup to offer European VAT) is trusted like Extremetech by the community. Here the seller is from iWheel EU Store. Finger crossed 🤞🏻. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Europe might get it sooner? Buying from AliExpress is generally alright, but it might be complicated due to the time differences and language. Taobao (which is the consumer retail platform by AliBaba) might be easier and customer service by the sellers is generally very good, albeit it will be generally in Mandarin. You'll need to use the translation function. If you buy internationally from Taobao, 1. The items will be sent by the seller domestically to the Taobao China domestic warehouse or your chosen forwarder's warehouse. 2. From there, a) Taobao will calculate the forwarding fee to the final destination which will need to be paid separately by the buyer and the forwarding will be handled by Taobao. All this is done within the Taobao app with in-app tracking etc. b) You can engage your own forwarder and they will handle that portion outside the app. A few riders here in Malaysia get their wheels this way. Althought the vast majority buy from our local dealer, prices are very similar and it's just way more convenient. I do buy gadgets, furniture and other knick knacks from Taobao, experience is generally good. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.3ee27f28s8GNWJ&id=681089935655&ns=1&abbucket=19#detail 29 minutes ago, RolluS said: Thank you for your (unfortunate) feedback.

Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted September 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 4 hours ago, UtahRider said: Wonder why they went 100v instead. 134V would have automatically given a bigger battery (2400Wh) or a possibily-too-weak battery configuration (or needed high discharge cells with even less capacity then). It would just have been a Master with a smaller tire (I'm not saying that is bad, to the contrary, I'd prefer a 16 inch Master over the bigger one). I assume they wanted to keep the price (and size and weight) down and went with their tried and tested 100V 1800Wh setup. Nothing wrong with it, I acknowledge it probably is the reasonable choice, but understandable that some find that disappointing with 134V out now. 1 hour ago, Gorcsi said: Master has 3 different board variants, guess, why... I'm not so sure that is because of problems (the Master didn't have board problems right?). I think they just try to use cheaper components. They certainly did that with the latest Master board revision. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmsjms Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 How is air pumped into the suspension? Would it be like on the V-11? I have to remove the side panels to pump air into 4 pressure chambers. Or would it be easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawpie Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) The T4's suspension appears very similar to Master and EX20S so I would expect to find a single Schrader valve on the shock itself. No disassembly required, it should be very easy (if they supply a decent shock pump, which isn't something one can assume) Edited September 1, 2022 by Tawpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
