Good luck in whichever path you take. Your profile say Canada. If you are in a city where you can see the wheels in person, you should go take a look. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 even the Patton as a beginner wheel would be excellent it's so balanced and really sturdy at riding even at slow speeds , you can't even feel the extra weight when riding and even at lifting it is so compact you have the right stance for lifting , everything about this wheel is amazing . you can charge at 15 into split port so if you have a 12/15amp fast charger that's about 1.5 hours to full so not really a problem for range, honestly it's that good here's a video of how sturdy it is at slow speed and it doesn't change even when going fast 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jimjam.nyc Posted April 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2023 I was nervous at first ordering this wheel. I have a batch 1 v12. Even though it had literally zero problems, it still was a bit anxious to ride. I now love that wheel and will probably keep it, but I am finally feeling cautiously excited I have this ordered. I am also glad I was able to hold it together during all these suspension wheel releases and waited a little bit. Hopefully it pays off, as this wheel seems to be a good one. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For similar reasons as the V5, V8, and V10, I was tempted to buy a Nikola AR+ but really just couldn't get into its shape. That being said, the wheel is something that you end up looking at very little when riding (and even if you do a speed check, which is not recommended to be done often, you can't quite appreciate the full profile of the wheel), and I found that looks ended up not mattering to me as much relative to how much of a priority it was for me when buying. Still, at the end of the day, your opinion on how a wheel looks is the bottom line and if you don't like it you don't. I do think that if you're careful while learning, not taking any big jumps in speed or certain skills (I only really felt like I could hold 30+ mph safely after 2-300 miles), you'd be fine just going to the wheel you want. There are definitely people that have gotten themselves into trouble while learning and you really just need to have the mental discipline to not become another one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 8 hours ago, jimjam.nyc said: If you are learning on something like a patton. Just take it slow, and be ok with possibly scuffing it up. One can always pack the wheel in some short protection. Simple shower mat, or towel around the wheel, cardboard boxes. Add some duct tape and you are set. Who cares that you are riding a garbage looking thing. At least wheel is protected, for the first 1-2 weeks, when you still are drooping it at stops and what not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys even at ~80kg get the stronger shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollin-on-1 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) EUc Upgrades Patton review. https://youtu.be/0XUo5viWnQU It seems like the suspension could be adjusted a bit better for Kevin's riding weight. I wonder if stiifer compression and a little slower rebound would improve the handling and reduce some of the pogo effect?

techyiam Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 My impression after watching Kevin's video, was that he was impressed with Patton's suspension. He like the cushy setting. I don't think he meant to say that the suspension was under damped when he used the words pogo stick. I don't think he had acclimated to the Patton yet. Turning seemed to be something he still needs to work out. But overall, I thought he gave the Patton high praise at the end. The Patton is sounding like it could turn out to be a great wheel. So many good wheels to choose from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 Around the 12:00 mark, you can see how stiff the suspension is where Kevin's feet are quite high centered around the axle. No wonder he has trouble with turning and braking without some wobbles. Preload (sag) needs to be adjusted for his riding weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawnei Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Suspension can feel very wrong unless you tune it as you want it to feel, too much bounce (pogo effect) is typical consequence of too much rebound, if something feels wrong really need to take the time to stop riding and tune it to see if it can be solved and not just say it's wrong. 😅 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjam.nyc Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Not only did it look like Kevin had some issues with suspension setup, but he seemed to take some time to get used to the tire as well. I Feel like all of this is normal. He did give over all pretty high marks. One reason I went with ewheels for my order, is they have the 58lbs suspension option for riders below 175lbs. I am 130lbs and I think the lower suspension option should help a bit. Does anyone know if you can purchase the other shock options if you aren't happy with what you have? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
