Kutvis Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) I was looking for this especially, to me the KS system is a disastrous design for dirtbike. Is fine for city riding though. E. I wonder if this could fit in a Master motherboard and some funky battery setup Edited August 15, 2023 by Kutvelo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkard Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 First impression from the original video. The renders look so ugly it hurts. But the second video of actual riding i's quite alright. If the weight will be under 30 and it's possible to carry the wheel one hand by the front handle I think I will pick it up for my lady. Battery size and motor power seems very reasonable. Patiently waiting for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okvp Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 720Wh less than KS22, that's around 40x69= 2760 grams less weight, it's probably more than 30kg wheel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller rim, not as beefy motor. I can see it making it under 30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onewheelkoregro Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Why doesn't Kingsong like going faster than 50km h? It's a 16x with suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheelkoregro Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I mean it has the same motor wattage as the V12 but with a 10km/h slower top speed? Hopefully they can rectify this with a software update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robse Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I think it´s ok. More than 50 kmph and 16" wheels is not a good combination. Too wobbley. If you want speed, better choose a bigger size wheel. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) So far, I think it's a nice wheel for competing against wheels such as the V11, V11Y. The S22 is a stable nice riding wheel. And Kingsong scaled it down to compete in the V11(Y) class. Back when I was looking for my second wheel, if the S16 turns out to ride well, and not plagued with issues, I would have bought it then. As for the slider, either they find a way to make those rollers more durable, and add a dust cover, or just redesign in order to put in a hydraulic suspension. But to compete against the V11, it may be fine as is. It does includes all the current trending features, even a Smart BMS, 16x3.0 tire, and a 5A charger.

Kutvis Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) I can see market with this and would love to test it, a little strange release though. Would take this over S19 every day if I ever again want to go under 100V wheel Edited August 15, 2023 by Kutvelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I think Kingsong did good in coming out with the S16 to challenge the V11 and V12, in one of the higher sale volume market segment. On the hand, it looks like the drop the Star War influenced S16 that was rumored back in around 2020. Perhaps they can come out with a S22 Pro replacement to challenge the likes of the Patton, Extreme, Commander Mini, and Adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is real, it is 33,3 kilos only 2,5 kilos less than KS22pro. It has similar extruded battery casing integrated structure as the KS22, motor seems to be similar as s19. Extra speakers and plastics add weight, but the price is quite good for the specs. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because I'm a bigger guy? 6' 200 lbs or 1.8 meters 90 kilos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 1500Wh is a nice surprise, could have been 1110Wh! This is a great V11 competitor, and a great wheel to recommend to new riders who cannot/will not spend 3000+ moneys for a wheel or want a smaller tire! Has all the neat features. I also like the looks. I expected a S19-styled wheel, but this is nice also. Price? (And of course they had to rush the S16 info out before the Inmotion announcement, I don't think this is a coincidence.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S16 must be lighter. sub-25 kg would be perfect, ~27-28kg is quite realistic. Anything above 30kg would be a facepalm . It is very comparable to V11 spec-wise, so that should be the reference point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh absolutely! Just like the S18. Just now, Mango said: This wheel is going to flop. There's nothing compelling for the enthusiast rider or the practical urban commuter. Why wouldn’t this be a good wheel for a calmly riding commuter? Last year S18 and V11 were the most used wheels in EUCw charts. This easily beats them in output power and features. And even price actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kingsong should have gone in the direction of modifying the S18 with a 16" wheel, bringing up the voltage to 100v and making improvements to the headlight. Would have been the perfect light trail wheel and urban commuter. This version with the S22 trolley and slider system is a deal-breaker. No casual rider wants the maintenance headache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
