bpong Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 the battery cases had to be longer if they wanted to keep the same battery stacking format. if the wheel is to be used primarily for street riding and no acrobatics (no curb jumping and what not...) then its fine. but the lower battery pack will limits its offroad capability. the only other ways of keeping the same shorter battery pack is to change the stacking format and make it longer from front to back but retain the same height or shorter height. for my limited commuting needs and street riding, its not a deal breaker. but for die-hard offroad riders, they will probably pass on this euc unless GB offers an alternative battery pack that does not have the xtra length. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Marty Backe Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 Begode is really upping their promotions game, with the text and graphics in this release. Personally, this wheel looks awesome. I love the flat side panels for user customization. And the pedal height adjustment range looks impressive. Everything looks impressive. Some may consider it a competitor to the Lynx but one thing that the Lynx has going for it is the light weight and subsequent handling. My gut tells me that the ET will not have the near perfect balance and ride quality of the Lynx. So it's probably going to be an apples-to-oranges comparison if people try to compare it to the Lynx. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniVehje Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 1 hour ago, Underthebag said: these pads are adjustable. If they made these pads correctly I'm not sure if 3rd party pads will be needed anymore for anything outside of a legit race if the pads are made properly. I agree. This is the way to do it. But I still feel people will use something else because they want the choice. They really only need to make sure the sides are flat. People will handle the rest on their own. (Same goes for light, tire, pedals, seat etc.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robse Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 all i ever wanted was a RS19 with more battery capacity... and now look at this, i think it has the looks, d*mn it looks mean, ugly, dangerous..... and nice, me like that 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Can i get 1/3 of that wheel? Pretty please? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okvp Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) + Higher voltage enables a higher top speed and also faster charging. + more Wh 3000 + With curved magnets, the effective distance between the rotor and stator can be slightly shorter. The magnetic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, even a small distance may have a significant effect. + functional looking pads and pedals - Higher voltage, taller battery arrangement taller wheel, higher CG and added weight - 'proprietary' Chinese shock, probably because Begode didn't want to make curved linkages (costs???) or enforced mount. Harder switch to a good 'brand' shock Edited January 2 by okvp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harder switch to a good 'brand' shock Doing a proprietary shock costed less than proper linkages? That is truly strange to me, but without seeing the entire linkage design its hard to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8nice Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 the weight and the price will be decisive to choose between the lynx and this ET Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CrabChampion Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 There appears to be a physical unit already. Gotta say it looks way better than the renders. I like it! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrd777 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 This wheel looks fantastic. @Jason McNeil maybe consider doing a “discount all in” paid in full order for 100 pieces. You can have a counter on the website when you reach 100. You make money and we take the leap of faith on this one for a have to have it discounted price. 😉 Did we get weight or waterproofing specs on it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent heard anything about waterproofing but thus far it's not looking promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Looking pretty sharp! Not sure what name "ET MAX" is though. Well, it's a name, that's enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingGrandpa Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 So it's the same spec as GT Pro: Same pack size, same voltage, same tire size, same price... Different suspension and different battery layout (tall vs long) perhaps? Is that enough to justify two models from the same factory? Odd... makes me wonder if one will die off quickly like XM did.

Mcfoster Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I don't like it! It makes me hesitate on my Lynx order🥹 Very nice looking wheel and the specs is amazing. However my priority is reliability and water resistance so as a noob I think I wouldn't know the difference and probably more happy with leaperkims quality/after sales support. But still, if you buy the latest and greatest you want just that.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, if you buy the latest and greatest you want just that.. the Lynx and ET Max are in *almost* different classes. they are both flagship EUCs with similar range capabilities, and the ET Max does outclass the Lynx in nearly every category. But historically, Leaperkim has a much better and refined firmware and they utilize their lesser "on paper" specs much more effectively. Yes, the ET Max will likely perform better in many ways, but the fit and finish that Leaperkim provides is second to none. The Lynx is 88 lbs while the ET Max is 99 lbs also. Plus, the Lynx is IPX6 rated while the ET Max doesn't have any waterproofing that's been announced yet. Both are excellent options, depending on your use case, but it seems like the lynx is slightly more beginner friendly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the rim is the same but the tyres used different? ET Max 90/90/14, GT Pro 100/90/14 Maybe more room for wider tyres in one than the other? Motherboard quoted ET Max 1200A, GT Pro 1056A, but are they the same motherboard? Firmware difference or typo? Weight of wheels tba Speakers vs no speakers Waterproofing? Lights? One does look considerably 'different to the other', build quality? Weight distribution? So many questions still to be answered.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteWheelie Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) 4 hours ago, Cerbera said: If it can free spin at 180 km/h then loaded top speed might reasonably be... 140 or so ? We're getting to the speeds where wind knocks you off backwards now, surely ? Ah well, I look forward to the speed test videos ! No, because of wind resistance. 2x the speed requires 8x the power. The free spin could be 300 km/h, but you still won't have enough power to go much over 100 km/h.

This begode ET MAX will be the ultimate 20" wheel!! The look is sick as well! Im expecting to see a clean difference in power with the voltage upgrade of this wheel, like only Begode can demonstrate (kind of on the same scale as we saw from 100v to 134v).
