It is improbably cheap compared to other places, and even lower price that ewheels advertises. And sometimes something is too good to be good. Therefore, does anyone have experience? (they require payment of the entire amount up front, and then you are like f****d if the item never arrives anyway) I've bought from EUCShop in the past and have friends who did as well, it's a nice shop and the owner is very responsive and helpful, got nothing bad to say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a trusted EU seller listing: https://oneride.eu/en/begode/1349-begode-blitz-50s-electric-unicycle.html If I can get it for 2600€ then I may have to pull the trigger! Also if they're selling it for 2600€ then the rest of the sellers are MILKING us lol. Edited July 20 by xiiijojjo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Begode directly to buy from factory (did this already in the past) And the factory price is 2200$ +325$ Seashipping if buying 1 Blitz....if you are courious Seems that this price from eucshop has to be without tax also, so maybe they are also just a middleman between you and the factory with a little provision Also they will get an better price due to ordering in bulk Edited July 22 by onkeldanuel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Pro is obviously the fastest wheel at 168V, with @Hsiang hitting on it 70mph 😉. I invite you to watch the video if you didn't. I'm expecting the Blitz to have a master-like top speed.

Popular Post BleepBloopBlop Posted July 24 Popular Post Share Posted July 24 (edited) I'm expecting the Blitz to have an 55-58mph GPS top speed given it's free spin claims. Should be plenty fast for what it is. @Hsiang 70mph claim is pretty ridiculous knowing how much the GT Pro over reports speed. It with a C38 motor and taller 100/90-14 tire is probably slightly faster than a ET Max but not by much. You can't fit that tire on the ET Max as it i already maxed out tire height wise with the 90/90-14.

EUCzero Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I am also a bit annoyed about this claimed 70 miles/hour speed record when this speed has not been calibrated to real speed. is it 5% off? Is it 15% off? Nobody knows, therefor claiming 70 Miles/h is BS. I love the videos from both Ronin and Hsiang. But come on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trolling the 3-4 guys gps extremists and it works every - single - time 😊. Just need to say the magic words Hsiang/70mph to activate the magic.

I'm expecting the Blitz to have a top speed at 134V on par with the Master, 52-53mph wheel at 80%pwm. I don't see why it would perform more but I'm not familiar enough with the C32 motor. I doubt the goal here is to have the fastest wheel ever, but rather the fastest lightweight wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tested the c40 version, not the c38 version, therefore not the version @Hsiang used for his world record of 70mph (😁). I will try to see if I can quickly test the c38 again and confirm what is the exact % difference, but I don't promise anything.

Rawnei Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Just now, Ronin Ryder said: He tested the c40 version, not the c38 version, therefore not the version hsiang used for his world record of 70mph (joking OK 😁) . Like I said, let's be precise. I will try to see if I can quickly test the c38 again and confirm what is the exact % difference, but I don't promise anything. What @WheelGoodTime said that I was 24% before firmware update and the something else (unknown, lower) after firmware update, if firmware changes was after doing that run need to take that into account. But if feels like parody having this discussion with you because you have shown multiple times that you just don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are telling me that a wheel with a C38 motor has potentially the same behavior than one with a c40 motor? I wonder where the joke lies here. Allright have a good day!

on one Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I don't know if this type of racing has a name. I googled "What is the name for the type of racing where all racers have identical vehicles?" But I got nothing. Wouldn't it be a great kind of racing to prove who the best racer is instead of what wheel is the fastest since we already have plenty of that. I wonder who would win if everyone rode the Blitz in a race? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are assuming a 24% deviation for @Hsiang's world record, posting this everywhere. I'm telling you this value is not proven correct considering @Hsiangused a c38 version. It could be more or less. No one knows yet. So stop assuming by repeating, and start proving if you want to circulate values. It goes both ways, not just to riders who assume a wheel top speed. Be blessed!

Rawnei Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 It's funny how the burden of evidence is not on the youtuber making claims but rather on the community being skeptical of said claims. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonewantstobepeterchris Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 The real solution is to get the Blitz in the hand of more reviewers and/or lifting the review embargo. The lack of reviews if killing me. What am I going to do, something productive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robse Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Now I think maybe everyone should relax a little. I have ordered a Blitz. Expected arrival approx. mid or late September. And if the weather is for it, I promise that I will do a speed test ride as one of the first things, assisted by a good friend who has a laser speedometer. And if i survive, I will present the result here. In the meantime, remember that the joy of anticipation is often the greatest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you decide to come forward to claim something, like you did with assuming 24% on the wrong wheel, posting absolutely everywhere this piece of disinformation, you better be solid, else best to accept being proven wrong,as I just did. You won't see me posting numbers without evidence ready to be pulled out, that's the difference between our approaches, and why you are being frustrated. It's not worth it, next time just double check. Have a nice day. Edited July 24 by Ronin Ryder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
