varamontelo Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Hi, when you obtain 75 kgs, is it with the helmet and the bag, camera, power pads ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Vara, yeah with all of that extra weight you mentioned. I mis-spoke there. I'm closer to 77kg (170lbs) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 no talking no music pure street riding on the Lynx!! Then a side by side comparison with the Veteran Sherman S EUC. Lynx: Kenda K262 off road tyre at 24PSI Veteran Sherman S: Kenda K262 off road tyre at 35PSI (too high) (12 months ago when I was much newer to the large wheel - 800km and wrong tyre pressure) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 (edited) Lynx 66lbs suspension sag based on my actual measured tests. kg chart (left) and lbs chart (right) Edited February 8 by Jono extra context, added lbs chart 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 70-72 kg naked and got the 62 lbs version (not here yet). I’m slightly worried even that will be too stiff for soft ride (no drops or jumping).

techyiam Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) 1 hour ago, UniVehje said: Wait, I thought preload increases sag. Do I read that correctly? No. On the contrary. Preload means the spring is pre-compressed before the rider gets on the wheel. For example, consider a 150 lbs rider on a linkage suspension, with a leverage ratio of 1:1 for the purpose of this discussion. If the preload is set on a 300 lbs/in coil spring to 1/2", there will no sag, since the spring already can support a load of 150 lbs without further compression. If no preload is set, then there will be sag, because the spring needs to be compress by 1/2" to support the 150 lbs load.

Jono Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 This do it yourself pedal upgrade makes a huge difference to the traction and control felt on your foot plates. It's quite cheap, especially if you have or can borrow the tools required. Best leave a days work to get it done. Hope this helps, Cheers Jono 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jono Posted February 20 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 20 (edited) Ride n chat with Rick to compare two variants of the Lynx. Surprisingly similar. Jono's Lynx 66lbs, 50S, K262 Rick's 62lbs, 50E, Pirelli Angel - 27% sag at 75kg (170lbs) zero preload.

KS22Pro $2599USD and up Veteran Lynx $3699USD and up Partial transcript beginning 2:37: "Jono: So with the S22, you said there’s not much of a jump-up to the Lynx. "Rick: Not a huge amount. It certainly has the Lynx; the Lynx certainly has more power and more top-end speed, and I feel safe on the Lynx because there’s much more overhead. "Jono: Yeah …. "Rick: Yeah, and for the money, you know, the S22 Pro is not a bad value, cause they’re coming out with the 50S cells as well. "Jono: Wow, I think it’s easy to get caught up in the hype, where the older wheels are still tons of fun, and without the range, you’re getting a lot more on the Lynx or… "Rick: No, surprisingly, with my weight, I’m getting a similar range on the Lynx, I reckon the same on the S22. Maybe slightly more on the Lynx, but it wouldn't be much." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is pretty much subjective, and the type of riding can be a factor too. For myself, I would think the Lynx would feel a little bit more refined and premium. But the way the wheels ride, I can see how some people may feel that way. The range is what troubles me. I am not impressed that my 2220 Wh S22 pretty much get about the same range when ridden the same way as my 1750 Wh V12. And now it appears that many of the higher voltage 4P wheels are getting about the same range too. Basically, for the most part, you get more motor performance, and headroom. I can see those who don't do group rides, and just ride for pleasure around town or commuting, and not needing the performance, may not appreciate the extra performance to spend a significantly more money. But if we look a little deeper, some may appreciate the sealed wet lubed sliders of the Lynx over the open-sliders of the S22/Pro. After factoring in the price too, and the decision becomes not so simple. Edited February 20 by techyiam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard 20" size of 80/80-14. so it's sized down compared to the K262 (which I'm getting -7% vs GPS) or a 80/90 Michelin pilot street 2. tubed I'd say. 11 hours ago, techyiam said: ...subjective, and the type of riding can be a factor too. ...bit more refined and premium.... ...The range is what troubles me. ...appreciate the sealed wet lubed sliders of the Lynx over the open-sliders of the S22/Pro. Definitely, if you push the faster wheels harder they'll drain down just as fast even with the higher Wh. Rick just mentioned he had a think about it and reckons he's getting a bit more out of the Lynx maybe 20-30%. No concrete testing done. If you're going at more relaxed speeds and acceleration then that'd make sense. We were talking about this earlier in the ride. The S22 has more rattles and clunks vs the lynx. He was hoping the S22pro would have a tighter fit and finish. Plus the roller system gunking up concern. Although if he's not trail riding it should be ok? He's enjoying the fit and finish. However it's not as plush as he'd like and would've even considered a 58lbs spring. compression damping was +0 = soft. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, yea exactly my thought. Improved torque and rotating mass. I'll be trying tubeless Michelin Pilot Street 2 80/90-14.

Jono Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 I'm pleased to release the Jono seat for the Lynx and Sherman S. As a keen seated rider, nothing on the market satisfied my requirements. Thus I had to design and build a custom seat from the ground up to fit on my electric unicycle. I hope to share some of these seats with others at a reasonable price with plenty of customization options. Get The Jono Seat here: https://forms.gle/7FJ4i8uv2FxEorWj8 4x batch one available. If sold out, fill the the form as an expression of interest! Checkout the order form for additional info and options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 (edited) no talking no music pure street riding on the Lynx Electric Unicycle!! Then a side by side comparison with the off road tyre Kenda K262 on the Lynx. Note I was a bit off form due to a left knee injury that morning. Also! This is only my second ride on this lynx setup. We've had so much rain I had to make the most of the sunny day, cheers Jono. These are more conservative values than used on my Sherman S.

Jono Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Choosing the right tire vastly changes the handling of your electric unicycle. I test and discuss the merits of three tyres for the Lynx EUC. Plus the differences and considerations between different EUC brands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
