Popular Post Cerbera Posted April 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) I wonder if Begode's factory looks like that ? I always imagine it as a dingy woodshed held together with string and sellotape, possibly with a huge room out the back full of hamsters on wheels providing power !

Kingsong is the last company which didn't produce even a single one 22" euc model...... Edited April 19, 2023 by Greg X 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping the price settles a bit lower and the pad situation is figured out, eyes are glued despite some of the downsides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slippyfeet Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Kingsong seems to be somewhat active on their official International FB page. I've brought up the speaker shape and slider exposure constantly for weeks and today they post pictures of revisions they're making Imo the speaker shape looks a lot better. Now if they can somehow get this machine to handle 40mph spurts, I'll be very, very interested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeforester Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I’m guessing that judging by the tyre choice this wheel is leaning more toward urban/city ‘parcours’ (bumps, jumps, stairs, etc) rather than conquering off-road trails, though I’m sure there will be prospective end users wishing to release their inner ‘Shibby/Chance’ irrespective of their personal ‘need/desire’ to change tyre. It may of course come as a factory option too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustapalapno Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 IMO, there is no "good" non-adjustable pad design. Even the adjustable and removable toe-clip on the Patton has garnered some criticism. I have no idea what Kingsong is thinking here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see the display has a percentage readout now, just concerned about if the sliders are any more weatherproof than the S22 (it looks like there are caps over the channels). Also of course, want to see for sure if the front orange piece is removable, some of the factory photos give me hope and it looks like it might be able to be unbolted?
