I get it if you like the minimalist futuristic look, but I want a wheel that feels like a tank. That's true. After helping my friend with his EX20. The wiring is a bit underwhelming... But I do like the metal battery casings, which the ex30 will have as well. Probably not anywhere near as protected as the sherman s or the commander pro though...

CrabChampion Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Metal battery boxes implemented. Looks the same. Looks like they have a cst knobby on there (please no) and now a black rim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer a street tire on this as well. Even if not, it's a simple fix with some silicon. I'm just glad that the aluminum casings were added to the battery. I've seen the EX20 casings take some nasty hits and they held up great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabChampion Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 They have shown them straight abusing this wheel in the past couple of days. Submerged in water, doing burnouts to showcase its torque. I like the effort they are putting into this wheel to make it the best begode wheel yet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I cannot wait for the EcoDrift disassembly of this thing. Let's see if the waterproofing of this wheel will be like they say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailless Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Anyone know if begode will ship out to reviewers? I have an OG sherman that I think popped all the mosfets blew a capacitor and melted the battery wires and it went sparky spark all over the motherboard... So I'm patiently waiting for the ex30.

The ex30 has been delayed because they are making changes to it before it heads into production. We're getting aluminum battery boxes, better water resistance, black colored rim, different tire. Hopefully we get begode's most refined and advanced wheel yet soon 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they want to hit it out of the park with this wheel, especially with the Sherman S and V13 just releasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabChampion Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 They are claiming the ex30 is ip65 waterproof now. However in the video they dont spray the top of the wheel. Still cool to see though. Hope it lives up to the test in real riding video(2).mp4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossi Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 As far as I know the motor should be waterproof. But I find the mainboard compartment more critical and that is completely omitted in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without owner intervention, which wheels can be ridden in heavily salted roads or bike ways without rusting out? IP rating that these motors are claimed to be certified for are the lower ratings for sprays, not submersion. My experience in riding in snow and ice is that the snow can get packed in the whole wheel well area.

The wheel should be able to handle a splash from underneath. Add a shower cap on the top and you're good to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
