MrMonoWheel Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) A few videos popped up today regarding the sherman s Regarding the first video, the Sherman S really does seem like a perfect all around wheel with excellent suspension. It comes across as a wheel that just works and doesn't make life too difficult. He definitely seemed to like it. The second video is interesting. It doesn't supply any useful data but the guy is hilarious. I cant tell if hes high or not The stock seat looks a lot more comfortable than I had originally thought. I also just received the 17 dollar AliExpress seat in the mail and the foam is a lot denser than expected, meaning your ass doesn't just sink to the bottom of the seat. Pretty pleased.

The smaller tire diameter makes a bigger difference than 3 kgs. 1 hour ago, Paul A said: Replace the V11, with another V11? Or replace the parts that are bad? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Wall Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I guess pedal options are on the way. The thick and heavy ones . The seat looks good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to also have a lighter more compact wheel for school and other stuff, so should I keep the V11 for that or pick up a V12? Theres a good deal on one in my local group. Doesn’t the RS now come with the grippier pedals? Plenty of zip, okay it’s a Begode, but it’s track record is literally streets, nay blocks ahead of the class of ‘22 offerings?

Clem604 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Just finished the review and I'm very optimistic about the durability of the S, save for a few small things. It's pretty awesome that Adam was riding around on those days we had crazy amounts of rain and snow and it's encouraging that the wheel didn't have any major issues after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends where you order from. eWheels doesn't charge tax (or at least not when I ordered from them) so the price you see on the website is the price you pay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call having to replace the bearings (or the whole motor) as a major issue though. I really hope the new style bearing fixes that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope the new style bearing fixes that. Idk in my opinion bearings aren't as big of a deal as a battery/motherboard/electronics issue. To me it's more of an inconvenience, however I'm pretty adept in the garage and I can swap the bearings out in about an hour. But having a blown board or failing batteries is a different story. Plus the replacement bearings are like $30 USD. It sucks that they went bad but I'd prefer that over the other options any day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 The no bridge between forks, possible long term out of alignment, might be the most problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that's what I was going on about months ago when the wheel was first announced. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) The bearings became rusted after he rode on salted roads. I am surprised that the Sherman did not degrade even more after he rode on salted roads. The pedal did become more difficult to go up and down, but it wasn't rusted solid. My bicycles, scooters, and my 125cc motorcycle, were never the same after riding on salted roads. He complained about not having car like durability in winter usage, and at the same time he complained about the MSRP. I guess what he is saying is that he wants the premium quality and functionality, but he doesn't really want to paid for it. There is always the Commander Pro. Gotway/Begode is right there to catch these types of customers. 🙂 Edited December 21, 2022 by techyiam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Wrongway admitted he was abusing the his Sherman-S demo, and it stood up to the misuse. Time will tell, of course. But it is looking good so far. For my own use case, it looks very promising. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem604 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) I'm still optimistic about the wheel and excited for my S when it comes in. Most of the stuff Adam did in his video I have no intention of doing (riding in the snow/rain, jumps, etc) and I will just be cruising around on it on sunny days. My Batch 2 wheel should, in theory, be quite durable for my use. Edited December 21, 2022 by Clem604 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Personally, I'm surprised how well the magnesium alloys parts have held up so far. This is a first batch, first go with this alloy in the Electric Wheel World, and no one has complained about cracked or fractured cases and pedals yet. Especially since the magnesium alloy is used in structural parts, and the MSRP is still somewhat competitive. Gutsy move by LeaperKim.

Popular Post MrMonoWheel Posted December 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2022 Just finished the video and I am very pleased. I live in southern California so snow and salt aren't a concern, and his wheel really held up well. The bearings won't be an issue for me and I also plan to go in and put some silicone paste under the rubber bearing cover like InMotion does to keep water out. As mentioned before, after I apply silicone and threadlocker to the wheel I think it will be a very reliable long lasting ride. Very excited. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a huge plus in my mind because the cheap plastic on the OG sherman breaks easily and this new magnesium shells should last much, much longer without replacing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Punxatawneyjoe Posted December 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2022 I'm not sure i have come to the same conclusion as others have after watching Adams video. I think after less than 500 miles having the bearing go, the shock blow a seal, the pedals making clunking sounds,the shock tubes look like they have grooves in them. the buzzer gets drowned when you ride in the rain and doesn't work because for some reason they mounted it on the under side of the headlight, some of the buttons don't work correctly sometimes, the pedals kept loosening along with most of the screws on the wheel which makes me feel like there is a structural integrity problem with the design. Makes the decision easy for me because i was on the fence before. For others i hope this stuff gets fixed before they receive their wheels. I also look forward to a thorough review of the v13 which we haven't had yet. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) After watching the review. I'm happy to say that this wheels is "Meh"... If it was ~3000$ then yeah, it would be kinda good. But at ~4500$ it's best as "Meh". China never fails to make subpar wheels. (Open your goddamn eyes and look at that wheel. You ducking hyped monkey.) Yes i called you a monkey, if you think that wheel is "great". <3 Edited December 21, 2022 by Funky 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
