meepmeepmayer Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Video and pictures posted by @Archee Jan Bloch: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ElectricUnicycle/posts/5464926896938562/ Video is also on the Gotway Faceboom page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GotWay/posts/5636346206423655/ The real life wheels looks less attractive than the nice renders. The red handles and rim really looked great but they are not there. Now it's just black and looks like a Commander (well, duh). Still neat, but no longer so much better looking than the Sherman-S that I have seconds thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I like how the guy in the video has a Commander jacket. Them being proud of their wheels can only be a good sign. Maybe they wil use their own wheels more and make better (read: less baffling) design decisions now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Simply in awe with Begode's industry-crushing speed in coming out with a working engineering prototype. The rear suspension is completely different, so there is no faking that. Perhaps some of Leaper Kim's engineers are moonlighting? 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The offroad part of the video makes it looks quite good. Tempting! I would absolutely not be surprised if this is in people's hands before the ShermaS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMA Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 becouse of the motor/battery configuration the Commander is the undisputed range king right now, i suppose they are using the same stuff but who knows, i'm curious about all the assembly...

Are both considered range Kings, or only one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to know for certain. But I also get an impression that the suspension action was a bit stiffer than the Sherman-S. But that also could be due to firmer suspension tuning to handle the big hits.

UtahRider Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 According to the few videos so far, the Sherm-S suspension ride quality looks far superior to me and if all goes well with it’s release, will most likely be my pick this Spring. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eucner Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 It looks good in the videos, but we don't yet know how well the suspension can be adjusted for different rider weights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point but I’d be surprised since it comes from a suspension manufacturer but then again it is Chinese so maybe not surprising. Let’s just hope it’s tunable to rider weight.

Greg X Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) price of this wheel looks very competitive, on aliexpress it cost 3-3.4k $ --LINK-- Muuuuch cheaper (700-1140) than sherman-S, while it has almost identical specification. Motor with axle (no bearing issues), spring+oil suspension (maintenance free), metal side panels+bumpers, big soft powerpads (durable). This may be not extreme specs, not biggest voltage, but looks like reasonable, well priced buy. Edited November 19, 2022 by Greg X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFZ Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 It can't be the same spec as Sherman S... It probably has more batteries and higher top speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawpie Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 As much as I'm not a fan of plain black boxes, I like the way it looks. "Finished" comes to mind. Not as refined as -S, but a vast improvement over past plain black boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 18 hours ago, Greg X said: looks like reasonable, well priced buy. I don’t think specs alone can make a reasonable and well priced buy though. Many Begodes require hefty further investments and long waiting times for warranty spare parts to make it function as it should’ve from the start. A cheap initial price usually comes with a cost down the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
