Begode T4 Deep Dive: The World's First 16" Suspension EUC has Mass Appeal!

Pricing and availability of the T4: bit.ly/3BXruhO
Begode T4 written review/blog: bit.ly/3yhcb2p
The Begode T4 electric unicycle is the first ever suspension EUC in the 16″ mid sized class that improves upon the lessons learned from Begode’s Master EUCs and finally offers a reasonably sized suspension EUC with good power and very good suspension.
If the larger, heavier, and more expensive “beast class” electric unicycles seem like too much wheel but you want to get a good modern suspension EUC with good power, then the Begode T4 should be at the top of your list.

[@CrossroadWater]

Appteciate the video. This wheel and all the Masters reminds me of inexpensive Walmart bicycles with really basic suspension where regardless of how you adjust the shocks you can never quite eliminate the 'clank' factor when going over heavy bumps, which makes it a no-go for me.

[@ThaBlackCobra]

I totally agree with your assessment Jimmy. My experience on the T4 at Amped Electric Games was very pleasing. The only issue I had was it did feel a little small to me being my size 235 pounds 5’ 11”. Although I did start on the V8 and the 16 X so I guess I’ve just gotten used to bigger wheels. This is probably their best one out of the new iteration of wheels so far

[@firstlast9813]

Nice review. I'll give you a heads up. I have a V1 Master and I pumped the suspension to 1 full rotation of the dial (until it touches the metal pin inside the stock pump) then turned it to maximum rebound. It's not perfect but it is WAY better than before. I'm 190 lbs and I don't bottom out anymore.

[@doctorpd1959]

Do you have a video showing this? It would be helpful.

Gonna get one this spring I think, was looking at a s18 but this seems better.

[@thefoss721]

Just got my V2 T4 and absolutely love it, besides the shaky handle and no kickstand I have no issues besides a lil bit of a … scratchy noise when the suspension is compressed when I jump on it, idk if that’s normal or not but compared to the S18 this is the wheel that takes its place

Yea? I been looking at the s18. The new version. But it's so difficult to know which version all the youtubers are reviewing. T4 v2 is the way to go?

[@thefoss721]

@@Onelastrun ohhh man I highly recommend the T4 over the S18 it’s faster, twice the battery, knobby tire, feels like a 18” wheel and for the price all those extra benefits convinced me to get it and I’ve been loving it so far, so much more torque, just took it 20 miles on trails and jumps and it’s a beast , great size

[@Onelastrun]

@The Foss thank you for that! I been set on the S18 for a bit now. But now I may get the T4! Because I wanna be able to power up these hills in my small town. Are there any safety concerns? Hot charge port or anything like that? If your familiar with wrong way channel, he is not a fan of begode due to lack of safety features and the wheels seem not to hold up over time? From what I can remember. Any thoughts? I've never ridden b4 a d will be my first euc. And I'm not someone who will just get another a few month or a year later cause... u know, things are expensive! Lol

[@Onelastrun]

Now looking at the price points of the new S18 vs the new T4. (Latest versions) can u confidently suggest the t4 over the s18? And one thing I noticed is yall don't seem to mention anything about safety on the t4. Like what precautions do they take? Vs other wheels? It may be more performance then the s18, but is it as safe? Thanks again guys for doing what u do!

[@JaradVonNguyen]

This review sold me on a t4

[@federicomagnolfi5848]

Those yellow ring are not bearing, they are spacer because the suspension traver would to much for this wheel. The suspension structure is the same as the Master. Probably the better feeling is due to the fact that the pedals position are higher than what you are used to and you don't feel it with this wheel because it is only 16''.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Good review -- like the name change.

[@mikeintampa250]

I like the electric multitasking! My Mten4 is coming tomorrow courtesy of my wallet, LOL. I had my eye on this wheel, but then I started hearing about all the problems with the motor so I held off for now. Big question, what range were you getting?

[@bobdebouwer7835]

Im offroading on my v8f. This t4 seems awesome but its just too good. This power with suspension will get me up to way to dangerous speed levels

[@kmg501]

The base line design of the T4 is pretty good but the wheel needs to be built by a different company who actually pays attention to details and quality.

[@RCDevotee]

Thanks for the review Jimmy and Andrew! I really like the T4. I wish it wasn't having the motor issue it is having now but hopefully that will get resolved soon. I just got my Master so not looking for another wheel immediately. However, a smaller suspension wheel would be fun. I am also waiting to see if Begode upgrades its MCM line of wheel. I think a 14" suspension wheel would be fun and would be my MTen4 type of wheel.

[@Andrew-vt4jt]

Thanks for always supporting the channel! Hope you're enjoying the Master. A 14 inch suspension wheel would be sweet. The Mten4 is sweet but I would prefer a 14 inch suspension wheel. 10 inches is a little too small for me.

[@skw4194]

Which is better, S18 or T4?

[@Astimar.]

I’m really unsure why onewheels exist when EUCs do, TBH it seems an EUC is superior in every aspect

[@justinspirational]

I came from onewheels to eucs.. still have my onewheels as the floaty carving experience is more satisfying than on euc and my ow friends who refuse to get an euc say they have have always ridden boards sideways in multiple board sports and don't like the forward facing stance.. personally I think variety is the spice of the life and there are pros and cons to both (I think more pros to eucs but still)..I was underwhelmed with the onewheel gt specs but expect I will sell my ow XRs to get a GT and have just that single onewheel for those experiences it's most suited to but eucs are undeniably better in terms of power, take range, speed and suspension but sometimes you want to have a chill, floaty carving experience on a onewheel.. max speed/ power isn't always the priority though often is

[@Andrew-vt4jt]

Onewheels are better for walking dogs and the snowboarding feeling. However, you are right that EUCs are superior in range, speed, and power.

[@justinspirational]

@@Andrew-vt4jt yes.. there are more scenarios than that where onewheels are better suited.. like for getting around festivals, riding loose offroad surfaces including the beach, slower group rides, chill rides, or with my ow community here racing within the ow category is a challenge in of itself being who's the bravest to push the ow the most to its limits, plus like I say the sideways deep carvey stance on the ow is superior to me as well over the euc but the euc is more satisfying and better suited to other applications.. ultimately variety is most fulfilling to me and not limiting myself to one kind of experience only brings more satisfaction for different reasons

[@Kay0Bot]

becuz they are fun. no point comparing pev's of different designs. its rider's choice. i have ebike, euc,escooter, onewheel and looking to get efoil next summer.

[@lunchymunchy2984]

Nice video, what are your impressions speed wise though? I use my 16x for a daily commute on a fairly fast road and, though I love the 16inch format, it just isn’t fast enough to feel totally safe in traffic flow... I was about to go for a V12 but I’m pretty excited about having suspension on a 16” wheel. I saw Chooch getting 40 mph on the T4 , I’m wondering how long it could keep up that pace for? I’d love to hear your thoughts... thanks for the great content as everr✌️💕

[@Andrew-vt4jt]

It seems to keep speed pretty well. How fast is the traffic in your area? Chooch is also pretty lightweight. How much do you weigh?

[@lunchymunchy2984]

@@Andrew-vt4jt heya, thanks for getting back to me! well I’m about 70kilos plus gear so mot too heavy, ... the road to work is one of those small rural routes, it’s not super busy but most drivers who use it seem to think is a race track! I’m regularly overtaken by vehicles doing 50 or 60mph... it can be pretty nerve wracking ... not least because the road is only just wide enough for two cars and has a few blind bends. I’m not so worried for myself but I’ve seen a few near misses with cars overtaking me and oncoming traffic...I’m pretty good at keeping the 16x just under the tilt back threshold at around 28mph, I feel like if I was able to go a bit faster like 40 or 45 people would be in less of a hurry to get past me...I’m curious to know if ,on a full charge of course, the T4 could hold a speed like that for about 5 miles without fear of cut out or other malfunction...

[@Andrew-vt4jt]

@@lunchymunchy2984 I feel like you could do 40 mph comfortably at your weight but 45 mph may be at the peak of it. I know the Sherman Max should maintain 45mph with no problems.

[@NeoVdV]

Would you recommend it to a total newbie ? Effective range ? Waterproofing ?

[@nothoughtsheadempty6220]

In terms of range you should get 30-40ish miles depending on weight. As for waterproofing, only the Begode A2 is “waterproof” but in reality it just holds up decent to heavy rain. The T4’s bearings rust out if you ride in the rain, but 2cells1pack posted a bit in their tire change video explaining how to prevent that. Otherwise you should be fine in the rain. I do think this is a decent wheel for beginners.

[@Duf]

10:50 JUST WANT TO CLEARIFY SOMETHING ON WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT MORE TORQUE/ACCELERATION BECAUSE OF THE WHEEL SIZE. It doesnt matter the wheel size. Smaller wheel size doesnt equal more torque. It depends on the rpm of the motor plus or controller amps also voltage can play a factor. I also thought that way before but now that ive messed with motor scooters and bikes on my channel. Im better informed and educated now

[@synkaan2167]

The bigger wheels have more inertia maybe ?

Torque is calculated by lever arm length which is the radius of the wheel. It 100% does make a difference mate.
