900Wh - perfect

100V - good, 84V where fine also.  

14x3" tire? Sweet.

Suspension - not a fan, but if it's solid built one. Could give a try.. Big plus - it doesn't have that "back tail" links. 

Motor wattage 1500W? Can't be 1000W right? At least over 1000W which is also good.

 

Now i wanna see the trolley handle. 

I think it's 24kg on mark.  And price will be 1699$? Maybe 1599$?

A last-mile-device, with suspension.

I don't see a rear suspension linkage through from the front.

It doesn't look like there is a swing-arm in there either; therefore, it must have a hydraulic suspension (fork-style, dual hydraulic struts).

1000 W motor.

24 Mosfets Controller: 4P configuration.

It check a lot of boxes.

Begode spike pedals.

Metal battery boxes at the four corners.

Integrated kick-stand.

Wide 14" tire.

Rear mud guard.

I wanna see now a disassembly video so bad...

Thank the Lord, a wheel you are finally interested in! We're saved! 

[RagingGrandpa]

The first 14" suspension EUC, cool!

[Planemo]

Yeah I reckon that looks pretty cool, could sell well. And I know most buyers of this wheel think they dont need suspension.. but once they've tried it... 

[alcatraz]

Even though it might not be the dream wheel for me it sure is nice there is one in this class. 

I'm still waiting for people to grow tired of all that weight. Sooner or later they'll figure out how to shave more weight off without compromising durability too much.

[alcatraz]

I have 10, 14, 16 and 19in wheels and I have to say that in a city running errands the 14in is usually the wheel I take, unless I'm going a bit farther. Then it's the 19. 

You never know what size is best until you have them all. I wonder how many people take their mammoths just to go to the store and stuff.

I only have the one wheel, for now... But I am getting a 20 in wheel very soon

Gotta get that page launched now 
- It's still a prototype, will likely go through a couple iterations in a few months
- Center springs can be swapped out for different stiffnesses
- Tire is a 14x3.5"
- It might be possible to achieve some weight savings, if they use a polycarbonate battery case, instead of the metal—asked to do a component weigh-in to see where some savings can be had 
- Using the same controller hardware architecture as the Master V3

Ok, so 25kg. Not bad. For reference the S18 is 24kg and T4 29kg, V11 27kg if I'm not mistaken. 

[WheelGoodTime]

wow, this looks really well-thought out. Now I sort of am kicking myself for getting an A2 for my daughter when this sweet suspension wheel came out  10/10 for a great design on this one.

[Mango]

25kg is way too heavy for a 14" wheel. And way too thick. Falcon will suck harder than... ahem.

Haha that is hilarious, they choose @YourAubsome for the reveal, this will get the blood pumping in the community in different ways. 😁

Congratulations.

It's smart for them to do this. Guys are horn dogs. Guys click to watch because they are horn dogs = more views => more sales.

Horn dog guy: "Hey there's a purty chick! *Click* Durp. Look there's a cool EUC. *Click link* Durp. I will buy EUC after I 'handle' personal business first... durp"

I'm sure you all know this. I just like to respond in this way lol

 

BTW, cool EUC brah. They will soon overpopulate the earth at this rate jk

Her reveal video has 44k views already.

Her channel is the right one to launch this wheel.

it has suspension

This is still to be seen.

The exploded view didn't show the suspension.

Surely it's just within the side pillars like the CP. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't have suspension, especially when Jason posted a pic of springs too.

Edit: way too much gap between the top of the tyre and the top of the housing not to be suspension too

It looks like Jason appended more images.

With the image of the springs, the likelihood of a suspension increases many folds since those look like coil springs from a hydraulic strut.

Also 3.5" so 90 width tires "should" fit? 80 should fit 100% right? (Talking about 80/80, 80/90, 90/80, 90/90 size tires.)

I think with the 3.5" width, it might be easier to find a scooter tire for it.

[techyiam]

I am thinking that this wheel could be a great addition for euc families who need a wheel for their kids to ride along with their parents.

Third party vendors may offer a 900 Wh battery pack on top, perhaps, to make it 4P, or 450 Wh for 3P.

This wheel also marks the first Begode wheel to have a hydraulic suspension (vs linkage suspension).

44k people who are looking at something else and are not interested in the wheel or even know what it is. 

That's just as stupid as advertising pork meat in Pakistan.

Product exposure is one of the important pillars in advertising to bring in new riders.

Couldn't agree more. They aren't directing this at the interested target demographic. I highly doubt that their choice in "influencer" will pay off in the form of expanding the EUC community (or EUC sales) in this case. I'm admittedly jealous that I didn't get to demo it ahead of time, but I still believe they didn't make the best choice in selecting her as a beta tester.

She may be one of the beta testers, but primarily, she officially help launched the Begode Falcon on behalf of Begode, albeit a prototype. But it is better than some CGI.

I actually think that she is a breath of fresh air in a community that is otherwise (over)populated by grumpy old men (incl. myself ) geeking around in full body armor and not able to talk about anything but spring loads, watt hours, cutouts, malfunctions and then all the other riders riding rotten and soon has ruined the sport for those of us who can behave properly. ehh     And if a little bare skin appears, enjoy the sight and ride on
