Begode T4 - First Impressions

[@slydogstroh]

Such an honor to meet and ride with you Adam! I hope you’re loving exploring Vancouver!

[@mr_wrongway]

An honor to meet you too! Subscribed to your channel a couple days ago ;) it’s already a great fun exploration time :)

[@srrich27]

Of all the places you could have popped up in the US, I wouldn't have guessed Arkansas! Hope you had fun, despite the jet-lag, and thanks for all the work you put in testing and making these videos for us! I've been wanting a PEV of some sort for a few years now but hadn't heard of EUCs till I saw one cruising through the park in Montreal. I had to google to figure out what it was, but then I found your channel and have been binge-watching practically your whole catalog. Now I'm about set to order a V11 for my birthday xD Looking forward to learning to ride and to seeing how well Montreal keeps its promise of keeping the bike lanes cleared and salted this winter!

[@jamesdoss1211]

Awesome to see you riding out in the US. Very satisfying seeing you ride past corn fields.

[@rayrous8229]

I'm surprised to see Begode as a leader in suspension. Yes I am looking for a light wheel. But the top speed is a little lower than what I'm used to. Thanks for a good review. Keep up the good work.

[@greenwave819]

Begode is boss

[@ThaBlackCobra]

Hey Adam it was great meeting you at the games. I look forward to your new partnership with eevees. Oh and I really like riding that little T4 also as a bigger guy at least for fun anyway (Not Performance)

Just got back from a ride on some really rough roads and was thinking "suspsion might be nice for this". It still blows me away what these EUC's can conquer. So glad a didn't get a One Wheel and an electric scooter, except for perhaps a giant beast, would have been no match for these roads. "Stoads" - welcome to middle 'Merka.

Most of my transport has been biking, skateboarding or my electric vehicles if I'm not using public busses and such. And did I hear that your moving to Canada? That would be groovy to have you in North America . The Captain may have a chance to ride with you and Momo-cat someday.

Good luck on you adventures across the pond. I’m thoroughly enjoying the top quality vids even if you American accent needs work. 😉 A LOT of work.

[@oddtechman]

nice short Adam and thanks for sharing. happy travels over there in the USA/Canada and just be wary of state laws on power allowance on PEV's! Beautiful scenery out there.. what it does not need though is another begode doing its "oops" through the battery or cut out... so hope the T4 holds out for you :)

[@JeskaRain]

This is more of an alternative to V12 as a commuter although I don't see anyone going for Master settling for this. I'm still not selling my V12 for this one. V12 just feels so solid and reliable ( latest batches) and I get no wobbles whatsoever even at top speed not to mention the IP rating which is non optional in Canada.

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

Yeah it sounds like you do have a great wheel. The V12 that performs as it should and has no issues is a hard wheel to replace. Great all arounder. This new begode wheel would be more of a weekend offroad basher. Great jumping and getting into trouble with. The V12 is the daily driver.

[@PopularWebz]

Except the V12 has no suspension… why did inmotion stop making that

[@JeskaRain]

@@PopularWebz EUCs don't need suspension like many other vehicles because you're standing on it so you have plenty of suspension already... ya know, your legs and knees... Sure for pump tracks or off road suspension is great but the vast majority of riders ride street or commute the most with their EUC.

[@mach16j]

I've head a lot of people from Europe complain that EUCs are too fast and heavy to cater to the American market. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on how faster wheels make more sense here or not.

[@mr_wrongway]

They do make a lot of sense here, as I was riding in Arkansas I totally get it

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

It's an RS with great suspension...sounds like Mike Leahy will love this wheel!

[@bellyroar3206]

When you get to Vancouver Adam, you'll find the PEVs are pretty heavily regulated although I'm not aware of anyone being respectful getting pulled over. Apparently you're only allowed to have a PEV with a max of 500W continuous output and up to 32 km/h on a flat. Something I had an epiphany about with your moving out here. All the best

[@evank8459]

in the US, most bikes trails and such are limited at 15-20 mph. Brake if there's kids, strollers, dogs, etc. It's just courtesy. But also many people smile to see me going 40+, responsibly. Adam seems like the type to have some situational awareness

[@KaelCan]

I ride mine frequently in Vancouver. Never had a problem. Though I Have a small wheel that only goes 30kmph. I treat it like a bicycle, keep in the bike lanes when I can and have your gear on and lights.

[@willlawson6126]

Out of the new Begode lineup the T4 is the one I am most interested in. I understand the EX20 and EX30 replace the EXn but I don't find those as interesting.....they look bulky and not the best to maneuver...which I could wrong. I know for sure I want the T4 amd Mten4. So far I only have an RS19 Torque version.

[@mdk42o74]

I love love my t4 i'm 100% happy i got the T4. Why i love the t4 so much is that this year a lot of new wheels are coming out. What to buy i want them all lol but the t4 has put me into a good spot to where i dont need a new wheel right now. The T4 lets me sit back and wait for all the new top wheels to come out and see what one will be best for me.

[@nazzhk6268]

I am currently looking to replace my ks16x, I love the torque that the RS19 gives me and I loved the suspension on the v11, would you say the T4 is a combination of both?? Your thoughts would be so much appreciated

[@Flyingwigs]

please post on IG if you can come out to seattle or portland for a group ride, would love to come join in!!

[@robotob46]

I think I would replace my 16s with this... I still want 2 wheels (currently main a v11), but would like a smaller wheel that has suspension and can go about 30mph to replace my 16s. Will go with the ewheels as they are going for the 40t battery. 🙂

[@VinnyVonPapier]

If someone was just starting out and looking for their first wheel for their main transportation, would you recommend 16x, 18XL or V11?

[@ipsilon00]

Fun fact: the T4 is heavier than the V11

@@ipsilon00 true. And the S18. I think its mainly the batteries adding weight.

The T4 has no stand at the back or kick stand can it stand if place in the front? Secondly does T4 have a fan or how nosisy is the cooling fan compare to msp?

[@ConsilienceDVO]

How does it feel between 48 kmh to 56 kmh? Did it feel unstable? Or can you cruise confidently at those speeds? I want a wheel that can feel stable at 30 mph to 35. Thanks

Most comfortable cruising is between 40 and 50 kmh. I’d say going above is a small stretch for it

[@pierrelhussiez1865]

I have 3 questions about safety and T4 (maybe for your next review): - is the speed beep audible at 60kmph ? On my s18 I struggle to hear the beep when riding. - when overpassing max speed (60 if I understood well) is there a tiltback ? Or you go for a cut-off? - is there a tiltback when overpowering the whell ? Does this tiltback take into account the battery remaining?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

That was a horrible imitation of a southern accident 🤣 But 10-points for trying 👍

[@FilSerge]

More suspension and less torque? Such a bummer :( Hoped it would be my next wheel :(

[@cliftonmassey3143]

Hey Adam if you make it to Cali I'd like to ride with you.

[@trickywily2823]

Thank you

[@wadafruit]

Do you recommend this as a beginner EUC? I was planning on going with the in motion v11. But I kind of like this one also. I'm not planning to really get any other versions or anything like that I don't care about too much speed and all that other stuff. Just need something with decent range and decent power. And it will be my go-to for the next few years. Need solid build and reliability. Berri No-ICE.

[@JL-ws1gi]

I commute with this wheel. Usually at top speed. I get decent mileage and battery consumption. I've also ran it through water and have been caught in a storm or 2. Highly recommended beginner wheel! My 2nd wheel. In case you are still debating it.

[@user-iy3tt2pi2j]

Awesome wheel. Awesome video🔥🔥 Can u make a comparison betwn this T4 to V12 HT or HS? Thanks

[@UStride]

[@ftsforever]

hey adam, do you reckon you would be keen on doing a full review on the t4 eventually? youtube really has no in depth reviews of this little beast yet

[@Mikegritz]

A comment about the poor torque. I have a Nikola+ with the larger batteries. It has incredible torque. E-wheels sent me some new replacement batteries as the original sanyo batteries may catch on fire. The new battery gave it poor torque, like only half the battery was working…. After going back and forth, I decided to take my chances with the original battery and enjoy great torque. Just passing along my experience.

[@jasoncolliver3648]

What kind of protective equipment are you using in this video? I've recently moved from a V8 to a V12 and need to upgrade my protection game as well. What you are wearing looks really good. Any recommendations?

[@choosetherightify]

Sorry wrong way, there's no replacement for the ICE yet. Even on my EUC, I know that its being driven by coal powered electric. Even Musk agrees that we can't switch to all electric.

[@privileguan9127]

Your point being? If you choose coal based electricity, while (at least here in Europe) solar, wind and water is available that's on you. Musk is not a prophet and even less a person to take advice from. He can't stop using coal for cheap and sustainable industrial use, but you can.

[@MrSpeedyduck]

@Wrong Way! How is the safety features on this unit? I've seen a few videos of yours in the past and you did mention that begode is one of those manufacturers that haven't improved on their internals (motherboard, batteries, etc.)

[@mr_wrongway]

I didn’t check on that yet. I’m pretty sure the charge port is still hot :/

[@Andre-Mostert]

At last a smaller wheel for the mid range with suspension. Looks awesome and would make an awesome trail wheel. Hope they have better weatherproofing compared to the Master?

[@dante19890]

perhaps we see a wheel in this formfactor with the specs of the master in a few years XD

[@JUANJOMALAGA]

Me ha gustado tu experiencia y espero el próximo vídeo de la t4 con ganas! 👍🏻

[@matthewearl9824]

I’m a super aggressive and nimble rider. I was hoping I can get something with suspension that can go fast that has good torque that’s light that’s super nimble and then I can just do tricks and jump off of things. I was preferring the smaller wheel because of its nimbleness. I don’t really care about distance because I don’t need that type of an EUC right now. I just need extremely fun fast quick urban/off-road burst performance Basically I need a V 12 high speed with suspension. I heard the top speed is only around 34 mph which is too slow for me. 34 to 38 is my cruising speed.

[@bardib2021]

Same... need v12 hs w suspension. Thinking the master 🤔 might take the v13 if I can be proven to be more nibble from an experienced euc rider.

[@matthewearl9824]

@@bardib2021 i agree 100% i would like to know which you pick.

A year later, the T4 remains the only wheel whose maximum speed is absolutely not specified. All we know is that it cuts at 60km/h with 100% battery and it cuts at 55km/h with 65% battery... Suffice to say that basically it is limited to 50km/h. h which is very little for a 100v while the v12HS easily goes up to more than 60km/h without cutting...Even today no one understands...

[@VictorC-89]

AS a Kingsong 16X, I was expecting a HT 16" w/ suspension wheel, a bit sad is not ... I don't need to go 90kmh, go for a Master for that. I need a conmute / offroad instant torque wheel :(

@@dante19890 well I like the 2500w, is not too much (legal reasons and weight). And remember that with the same battery less power motor means more mileage, so another more reason to keep 2500w motor. More battery ... I agree, 2200wh maybe would been better.

My first real unicycle!(first one was a cheap plastic one as a kid kzbin.infoUgkx4e2fa6x27dF7shCelntq0ZIKt4N0jELI I never learned to ride)So, this is a true learner, and for a C note, exactly what was needed. After a few weeks, I'm able to easily ride up and down the street. The Good: Solid frame. Has absorbed numerous spills through learning and still solid. Look - great looks, after 6 weeks of bashing Weight - it's really all tire, but as I fall I can easily grab the seat so it doesn't slam the ground. Size - Very adjustable. I'm 6', 33" inseam. I put it mostly up, but could go a bit higher if I needed to. The Bad: Not sure if it's out of the norm, but seat got scraped up quickly. Pedals - they are a bit uncomfortable and I can't get the right feel on my feet. But, they are solid and haven't been damaged at all as I've seen in reviews on other cycle's.- To address one comment about the seat connection not straight. Huh? Seat is on a round pole, you just turn it and it's straight. Either of the bad I expected to replace once I improved. I'd recommend to anyone else in the learning phase.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

@@VinnyVonPapier 1st wheel is a tough decision. I got the V10F. It took a beating while I learned and the fabric cover protected it well. I out grew it fast , speed and distance. Upgraded to the MSP and loved it except for the handle. To trolley the MSP was no where near as nice as the V10F. So after you are done your learning and you are cruising home one day and want to pick up a few things at the store, having a stable wheel to trolley with may be something to consider as it being your main transport. At 57i know my next wheel will have suspension. T4 is looking like it but I think the V11 might fit the bill as well. Good luck.
