I personally like how heavy duty the battery boxes are. They have survived since very hard crashes against rocks and been fine. 3 hours ago, PurpleRiderUSA said: Hey, sorry to hear that. Would you mind sharing more details specifically about the circumstances regarding your overt torque? Like a dummy I switched to high speed mode before going out, even after hitting 50mph in offroad mode. I'm 265# or 120kg geared up and I was pulling 80 amps at 45mph. It went down very easily with what I felt wasn't ample warning. User error though, high speed = less tq and too much lean. I do have the data log as well Edited February 19 by Vince.Fab 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushings are now perfectly secured inside the sliders, but the screws that connect sliders to the mainboard section usually bend the sliders a bit. Disconnect the sliders from the top, put a tiny spacer on the inner side, between them and the main structure and you'll be good. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoleCycle Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I know the 50S packs are technically better in all respects. But for those who have the Extreme 50E, Do you have any regrets more than basic FOMO about not choosing 50S? Or is it basically a non-issue?

Tep Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) It's an issue if you ride street mainly and in moderate/long distance. I had one of the first Extreme in the US and decided to sell it because below 50% battery, you have to watch voltage sag carefully. I have seen mine went from 55% resting, sag to 25% cruising at ~35 mph for more or less 5 miles. This happened some time in October, and weather wasn't even that cold yet. This wheel is very willing to go faster, but the 50E packs don't rebound fast enough, so what I saw is the voltage sags, and remain sagged instead of rebounding. I received my 50S unit last week, but I've been busy testing the Lynx and haven't tried that yet, I will do that this weekend. My main hope is to not having to worry about voltage sag at lowish battery anymore. That said, if you ride offroad mostly, or just don't really go far and fast, 50E is non issue.

SoleCycle Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Thanks @Tep and @EMA. Helpful. I'm mostly doing trail riding. Choosing not to be a speed seeker. I think my main concern is long, technical ascents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tep Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I think then there's no issue, since you're probably not sending it up the hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eucandoit Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Hey guys. I am about to pull the trigger for a brand new begode extreme. I have two options, one with 50E and the other one with 50S batteries. Price drops nearly %20 with the E option. I am a beginner rider with KingSong ks14d and this will be my first big wheel. Which one do you suggest me to order? Your comments appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tep Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Quick update, so I did took the Extreme 50S out for a quick ride last week, and it looks like voltage sag is much better. At 125V, the wheel sags to 121-120V when I accelerate from 0-30 MPH, and does rebound when I maintain the speed. My problem with 50E version was that voltage wouldn't rebound if I hold 30+ MPH, with 50S this isn't an issue, and the initial sag is slightly less as well. I'm waiting for custom linkage to arrive this weekend, and then will do more extensive testing. Unfortunately the stock suspension with 1300lbs coil is way too stiff for me (160 lbs/72.5 kg) so I don't feel comfortable pushing the wheel yet. I took off one side of the handle to do some 3d modeling, I want to make a front handle that won't block the screen when riding.

My aftermarket linkage will support 240mm shock, with 500lbs coil on it, it should be much, much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one do you suggest me to order? Your comments appreciated. For a 20% price difference I'd probably pick 50E. 50S is unambiguously better, but mostly makes a difference riding at low battery, high load with high speed (either going fast or uphill), since you lose more top speed with 50E than 50S. Probably only a few kph speed loss, but this matters if you continuously push the limits of the wheel. I wouldn't worry otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
