The F22 is already dead in the water Not to me. I don’t care about weight (I own a V13), and anything near 3 kWh is enough for me. If it ends up being a better design that’s what I care about. Placing the forks on the corners allows the e-wheel to be thinner between your legs (at least in theory). It also simplifies the battery by requiring just 2 packs instead of the usual 4 pack design with center mounted forks. The packs are also extra protected from crashes, with the forks acting like a roll cage from all angles. I’m eager to see how it turns out.

Thanks for clearing that up. Apologies for saying that it was deleted by mods/admin. I am guessing that the OP deleted his own post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used wheels probably the best alternative for new riders these days. But does everyone ‘ out grow ‘ a wheel? Different wheels excel at different jobs, and for some..myself included..there will always be a need for a V8/V10..KS 14/14/18 type wheel. I like both my wheels, but the old V8 is a keeper..it’s just so useful, reliable and easy..for taking the garbage out ( 2 Kms for me ) running errands, shopping, dog walking etc.. if I want to go faster or further, or trail riding, I’ll take something else. A bigger, heavier wheel, simply isn’t as easy to live with for many people. In the same way..it’s easier to pop to the shops on a Piaggio scooter than to go with the GSX-R 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Even if wheel costed only 1000$. Most people that just ask out of curiosity would be surprised. (At least in my country ~1000€ is monthly wage around these parts.) Not to mention wheel that cost well over 3000$. Most would add bit and buy a cheap car for that price. If you find a real person, who actually can afford to throw down 3000$ like it's nothing - that's different story. Also you need to recommend using gear. That's extra 300-1000$ on top of that. (Looking what you gonna buy. Only helmet, some guards. Or full body armor.) Solo commuting and simply riding - any wheel gonna do just fine. I personally wanted to ride 35kph speeds. So naturally i bought according wheel. 2000$ wasn't much in my eyes, as i would have kept that wheel for many years.. But for some who live from paycheck to paycheck - Mentioning these prices would be shocking. I always ask what speeds they wanna ride. Then follow saying prices. And watch how their faces go from smiling to not so bright anymore. Ofc i mention the cheaper models also.. When i say some wheels cost 4000$ - They are really surprised. (At witch point i start to hold onto my wheel little bit stronger.. Just in case they get some ideas..) Edited September 3 by Funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely, because the speculation may well be the funnest part of the whole thing. If we had the specs, we'd have a few agreeing, another bunch disagreeing and Funky complaining.

You can definitely get a reliable enough car for 4k and sort out family needs, which EUC won't. If anything, those two probably collide if kids are involved. I'm not talking about situations where ppl buy brand new "cool" cars to compensate and then need to eat Dirt&Rock for dinner, ofc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmk Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) Comparison to cars is ludicrous. I shouldn't even be writing this. How 'bout you try to spend a night (in a blizzard) in your EUC and come back then? Edited September 4 by mmk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) Complaining is fun. If you can call that complaining.. More like calling out (bullshit) things that don't work and should have been done differently. (And most people deep down know i'm right. They just don't wanna acknowledge it. ) But hey, if people like keep buying subpar wheels. I won't deny them that pleasure. It has been proven over many times that some random guy - can build better wheel out of their garage.. Where some bigger company, with actual engineers on payroll can't even get handle/trolley done right. Same for interface placement on some of these wheels. Ofc followed by many smaller flaws.. Which user fixes themselves. Edited September 4 by Funky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is toy and other is an actual proven vehicle by whole world population. Yet they cost almost the same. You get why we were comparing both right? Price.
