That's exactly how I feel too, except the part about buying another one. I like to try different designs. So I will be hunting for something that is going to be better than my S22. The Lynx does looks intriguing, but I am also curious about the Patton, Extreme, and the V14. In an Intro2Speed event, I had a lot of fun riding the Patton. I found the 16" wheels to be more immediate, more responsive, but I am hesitant because I am not sure how much stability I am willing to compromise. As of right now, I am very content with my S22. It is very fun ride to be sure. There was a short journey to get here. But I am here. It sounds like I will have to try out the Michelin tire when the stock tire wears out. Wrenching on the S22 is quite pleasant. I am glad you like yours too. Kingsong got a lot right with the S22/Pro. It is just that they can't seem to get everything right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I think that's the general consensus, when you finally get it dialed in its a really fun wheel. I bought the ex30 mainly for more range, I tend to do 50mi rides in the summer on a mix of bike trails and backroads. Having to stop and fast charge every 30 miles is a bit boring, hoping the EX will help. Interestingly at 30 mph the EX pwm is only around 33, huge safety margin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I wonder whether the Lynx would be a better fit. If you are not riding too much above 30 mph, perhaps the Lynx has enough range. And the Lynx would be easier to ride, and more agile and responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novazeus Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 yup, this is the nail in the lynx's heart for me! lots of humans love gotway/begode, even after breaking their legs, not me! u know how hard i'd kick myself in the ass if i bought a lynx going against my intuition, and it broke my leg like marty's? if it's windy, like i just did to get 40 grams of thc, i take the v13. if i feel sporty, or want to practice u-turns without dislocating my hip joint, i take the s22. the students will start on the s18. i hope it turns out to be a great wheel, but i'm in no hurry to endanger myself or Bob. https://voltride.com/leaper-kim/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novazeus Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 now that leaperkim is dead to me, i'm really thirsting for a deal on a s22pro+ with it's 50s batteries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 yeah, i rode my diy s22 pro up my hill in slo mo today, np. actually more solid of a wheel than my first v13 that neltrek disassembled for the motor bolts and tire change. i also rode the second v13 i bought, factory fresh, untouched by a dealer, and it's great. my first v13 needs a total going over after being disassembled. i was gonna try and pull the innertube without disassembly, but it has too many squeaks. probably needs screw tightening. i am eyeballing a 50s s22 if i can get confirmation. i do like the simplicity of the s22 build. easy to work on. and lots more portability than the v13's. there's no where out here i can go over 30mph. maybe 2025 when i start building the multiuse paths in here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when I look at this construction I wonder how long thise wheel will live before new repairs is needed. YEs it seems there is some 4000W wheels that are noisy in a bad way, there a different generations of that wheel. Check this video out also: finnbjerke, its been several weeks now, how is your modified/updated S22 performing ? whats the latest good and/or bad news ?
