Eyss Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Just realized that a rider with a blitz took third place at the electrify race expo last weekend. Looks like he was beaten by a ex30 and a commander pro, but beat a lot of other wheels. So definitely seems like a capable wheel. Hopefully Zen posts his results from France as he was going to test lynx / blitz and possibly Sherman L all on the same track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the video posted by Roger EUC and someone used a Dremel to saw off the risers in the front around the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The podiums always seemed to be occupied by riders from the same top riders pool. The wheels may change, but the riders don't seem to change much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the initial podiums shots came out I didn't realize it because the handle was missing. 12 minutes ago, techyiam said: The wheels may change, but the riders don't seem to change much. Definitely it's more the rider than the wheel, but it means at least the wheel can perform on what looks like a medium sized track which I was concerned about due to claims of lack of torque* * Assuming it's a stock blitz.

Phonoman Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Seeing Blitz perform pretty good and being the lightest performance wheel at 36kg is making my heart break a little, but it's okay, it will probably still need a year or two to get all the kinks and weak points worked out.. (I'm trying to make myself - a street rider - feel better about finally pre-ordering Extreme back at July *screams internally*). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2 years from now the Blitz will be yesterdays news, and probably 4 new models behind time. The EUC market has become a "now or never" deal.

I still ride an S22 to get around town. I test ridden, numerous new models, I can't say other than the Lynx, they were better for my needs and preferences. On paper, one would think the newer models would be better. But then when I actually got on them, the reality set in. I test rode the Master v4, T4, Commander Mini, Sherman-S, V13, EX30, Extreme, Patton, Lynx, V14, V11Y, S16 Pro, ET Max, and Blitz. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally love the power and acceleration my 134 v Commander Pro has. Super curious to try an ET max but I may hold out until the second or third batch 200 volt wheels that will inevitably be released in 2025. I agree that the release of wheels in the past two years has kind of been mind blowing. But I don't think it is a bad thing, but agree that some wheels will be left by the way side.

jmsjms Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Is the front handle that holds display durable for a heavy duty lock? If somebody tries to cut off the handle, they'd ruin the wheel, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tep Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Front handle is made out of plastic and is pretty meh. I mean, the plastic they used is good quality and felt solid, but it's positioned in a way that it will poke into your upper thigh when you take a corner.

Somebody on Reddit had the handle break on the first crash: https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricUnicycle/s/uLUTdJ5uM0 I would put the lock through the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 It's pretty tough but yeah, the display/handle comes off with four screws so not for security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slippyfeet Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Wrongway Adam has some mad squeaking on his right now. He mentioned in the comments he’ll do a tear down to see what’s up but he’s definitely enjoying the performance nonetheless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the same issues with the S22 pro when pushing it hard in rocky / messy offroad. Which asks for a lot of maintenance to keep it in acceptable condition. Can be many things including sand, play in the linkage axles, loosened suspension linkage, ... Maybe a bit of all of that. However something not comforting is that he pushes the Extreme hard too and doesn't seem to meet this kind of noise development in any way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
