Blitz Unboxing and First Ride

[@jakubvesely3620]

Most beatiful design begode wheel :)

[@TheBergMan]

I'm too excited to get my blitz! Was supposed to have it 4 days ago... but labor day weekend screwed that up😢 might be in tomorrow! The wheel feels so unreal when I rode it in China. I'm a master v3 guy and this wheel really changes things up! Thanks for the content!

[@semperfi4309]

I'll get mine in a couple of days, 1st big wheel after my V10F . I hope I'll be well in control of that wheel. Tell us about yours please 😉

[@TheBergMan]

@semperfi4309 my blitz has been delayed delivery for a week! I'm so upset and frustrated with fedex

[@semperfi4309]

@@TheBergMan Let's be positive, it's patience exercise! ...

[@TheBergMan]

@semperfi4309 it's definitely testing my patience 😆

[@dantemarcos1410]

Most anticipated review 😮. Atleast for me 😁 thx Marty!!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Well, it's not really a review, but it's the beginning :-)

[@arevee9429]

Roger's charger has changed a lot since I bought mine and it wasn't that long ago. The Blitz is the Master replacement? I have liked my V1 Master, warts and all.

[@Roskellan]

Begode imageware, didn't think that existed. Begode Bumpers - I 3D printed something better for my Master. Once you have your shock pressures and settings worked out be sure to record them. If you don't especially if you have more than one wheel you will forget, and the things leak with time. Stickers - I'm a sucker for stickers, I more than leave them on 🙂 Road tyre - I have been meaning to put one on my Master for the last year, I have the tyre a Michelin City Extra. I charge with the stock charger most of the time, if I have the time I charge slow - why not! I 3D printed two sustantial handles on my Master, (ABS) one front, one back - the best prints I have ever done for any of my EUC's, an essential. Also printed a seat in TPU (two in fact, the first one was too soft). I put extra lights on the Master but just don't ride at night, I really should give it a go, just hasn't happened. My understanding is that the Blitz is the successor to the Master, the IP rating and the Smart BMS I think are the primary advances (build quality perhaps), but they should have made the footplates height adjustable as well.

[@jimskyboy2]

I had thought about feeling bad about not waiting for the blitz for my first gig but I upgraded from a v11y on the way to a v4 master and WOW, first wheel, took quite a bit of time to learn blown away, 850 miles on it in 6 months. An incredible machine.

Night rides are my favorite and so are the videos with just ambient noise!

[@shibadoesntcare]

increase viewing speed to x1.5

Night rides are the best ...we specialize in this .. Capital Knights.. DMV area...

[@X_iCjay]

Like I said before on this wheel, the display handle combination is a testicle shredder for sit riding. The Griffen is looking better.

[@kunof2074]

Just got mine today 🎉

[@organicparadox]

Seems like alot is riding on a shock that has no manual. Begode is know for their poor shock quality, comparative to their competitors. Is this one a step forward from the ET Max or backwards?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I'd be hard pressed to say whether it's better or worse or the same as the ET Max.

[@PacificNorthwest360]

Great to see you brother. Keep on riding. Olympia WA

[@michaeldavidson3349]

Marty you are becoming a tire nerd! 😁

[@electricstyl-euc]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh so happy to see it! thx marty ⚡⚡⚡

[@Orangatangerine]

Huh, the wheel tread looks like it has deer/antlers, is that intentional?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I can provide zero insight into the design goals of the Blitz aesthetic.

[@jimskyboy2]

Be CAREFUL doing the twist seat on that charger, you'll burn your charge board that way and ruin the charger. Learned the hard way, Jason sent me a new charger thankfully but I had to cover the charge board. - Master v4

[@ElectricUnicycles]

What is a "twist seat"???

[@jimskyboy2]

@@ElectricUnicycles As you plug in the cable, you force it in and twist, the connectors are close enough to the plastic to make contact. Make sure you line up the dimple then push in. I personally like power off, plug up, power on charge.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@jimskyboy2 I think that happens when people are applying lots of force on the connector as they turn it, which I don't. I've been charging wheels for 8+ years so I have a good feel for it. But thanks for the warning for others that may read your comment 👍

I have been inside that Cinemark

[@gordmarshall5830]

Everything you do is useful Marty, thanks for another informative inaugural ride. 6 pac Gord

[@ReviewThisTestThat]

When they were racing one of thes guys took a Dremel and cut the screen off of this electrician unicycles supposed to be for racing you know you're going to dump it at some point so I think this thing was made to be pretty but it's really not for racing like they said because I believe you're going to crash and if you crash and you're going to destroy this

[@timsaloga]

A good initial review and I also dig your sound picking up the city noise which also tells something about your suspension when you can hear that so clearly. You can see its kinda wobbly at times and you did mention getting your sea legs; so true. The light magnifies the wobbliness. Braking wobbles even. Another good one. I do like that handle on the front. Thanks

[@scottharvey9764]

Slow down my man you put out more content than Disney 😂 better content 2

[@mikewatt3147]

“Normal” works for me 😂

[@erCostinha]

my led light got stuck in day 3 or so

[@Stan0619]

Is there a drop date for Roger’s speed test for the Blitz? Thx

[@ElectricUnicycles]

You really should visit Roger's KZbin channel because I have no idea what his plans are, schedule, etc

[@holyTripleSix]

I wonder if swapping the tire will help with the wobbles

[@ElectricUnicycles]

No. I'm not getting bad wobbles. But some wheels will develop wobbles (ALL EUC's can get wobbles) easier than others, and I I only have ~40-miles on this wheel. The tire is excellent.

[@geoffsmith1616]

My only concern is the alarming rate China I pumping out euc’s, what is todays latest 4K dollar wheel is next weeks old hat … it would put me off shelling out my hard earnt dimes , I guess technology has always been the same in its defence , I do not like those horrible led’s is like your riding a gaming pc 🤢 cheers Marty

[@BlackTalon53]

the much bigger issue is that the EUC companies, Begode worst of all; stop producing spare parts for the old wheels as soon as they have a new one and production of the old wheel has stopped. I have an EX20 which is kinda notorious for frying controlboards, if my OEM one breaks I am sh!t out of luck. Good thing I already have around 6k kilometers on the clock so I have gotten at least some of my money's worth out of it.

[@jaredboulderterry3912]

It just looks like the drl on a Kia .. which is cool

[@SAVY_JAX]

someone posted on reddit this week, that after their Blitz fell over at around 5mph, the top handle cracked in half on the right side. Doesn't bode well for long term toughness. Unless it's like a V14 and designed to be easily replaced.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Certainly it would be easy to replace, but could be expensive and timely to get one. It's unibody construction so if the handle breaks you must replace the entire top.

[@TimTimEUC]

​@@ElectricUnicyclesseriously makes me question whether their designers even ride.

[@friendlystranger167]

@@TimTimEUC Bout a billion other peeps are wondering the same.

[@tomnel]

​@ElectricUnicycles in the begode channel tear down you can see that the side pieces are separate from the top piece sort of like rails, just the side that broke would need to be replaced

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@tomnel Agreed. I have since had to take the Blitz apart. Hopefully the plastic won't break too easy and it won't be difficult to procure.

[@grahamkearnon6682]

Oh look, your promoting a Begode, what a shock.

[@thanh-nguyen1976]

aren't these suppose to have infinity break lights?

[@tomnel]

That was a custom job
