Josiah Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) What are the different segments or categories of todays wheels? And what are your top favorites in each? I’m dreaming of owning 2 per category. One for me and one for a buddy. Also I’ve got family of five. So one day, five per category but that’s if they are interested and able. And if my wife lets me spend a fortune. (Overtime work hours needed) Answer example: There are three categories of EUC’s. They are heavy long range cruiser, mid range high torque and short range wheels. My top choices in order of favorite are: •Heavy long range cruiser InMotion V13 and Veteran Sherman S •Mid range high torqe King Song S18 and Begode T4 •Short range Begode Mten4 and InMotion V8F Edited February 5, 2023 by Josiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) I don't need more than one wheel. (Because you are riding one at time anyways.) Even if it gets broken, i'm okay not riding 2-3 weeks. One wheel that does everything. Speed wise i'm happy with 35mph. Weight under 65lbs. As i'm 90% pavement rider, it's easier to choose for me. Sadly that "perfect" wheel hasn't been built yet. On paper Begode RS is my dream wheel. Lightest 18x3" wheel. But in real world is kinda "bad" in quality department. Also it's begode wheel.. For now ks18xl does everything i need. Still waiting an updated model from some other manufacturers, which have REAL smart BMS, 18x3" tire. And battery around 1200-1500Wh. Also water rating, because i'm riding even if it's raining buckets outside. And no dumb suspension.. Wheel that is built like a TANK and doesn't need to be babysitted.

gon2fast Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) I think my current roster satisfies all of my needs - 1 current/problematic wheel (S22) backed by a few older, but solid wheels (OG Sherman, MSPHT & 16X). High speed, long distance riding, off-road/climbing, fast charging and portability are all covered.

Tawpie Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 16 hours ago, Josiah said: heavy long range cruiser, mid range high torque and short range wheels. With this classification, my choices are driven by being an aged straw weight so I reap the benefits of simply not needing as much battery to do everything. Ride style and payload do matter. Heavy cruiser: OG Sherman/ShermanS (but I've never ridden any of the cruisers except the OG Sherman and I have very few miles on mine) Mid range: S22/16X (16X is a 70 mile wheel the way I ride it) Short: MTen If I were to expand the categories a bit, when I can drive to/from the trails I'd probably favor the S18 over the S22 just because lighter is better for me in general (and my S18 suspension has been aligned). If I were limited to 1 primary wheel and a backup, it would be S22 and 16X. When I'm being totally honest with myself (a rare event, copium is is terrific and addictive), I know I don't really need suspension so if I couldn't even have a backup I'd be back to my learner: 16X. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Just one wheel. The S22 Pro, with the MyEWheel CNC sliders. A year later, when all problems have surfaced and been solved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbera Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) 2 x V3 Begode Masters for everything, 1 being a permanent backup / spares reservoir for the first, or if you're feeling confident, one with a knobby tyre for off-road, and the other with a street one.
