Can the Begode ET Max Survive a Crash? A Build Quality Breakdown

In this video, I discuss my recent crash on the Begode ET Max. Then I discuss exactly how well the fastest EUC in the world holds up in a crash - and its overall build quality - as I examine the insides. How durable and well put together is it exactly?

@@oueuc2 edited, thanks!

[@EUCvibes]

Glad you’re ok ❤️‍🩹

[@YourAubsome]

@3:22 my Extreme had the same issue with the rubber seal. Begode needs to figure this problem out. Its very hard to install the cover perfectly with the current seal design.

[@WheelGoodTime]

My extreme had that issue too!! Very frustrating.

[@NahBra_EUC]

So glad to see you doing well after a crash at that speed. That type of wreck can be devastating.

[@itechhen]

Wanted to thank you for the coupon code. Saved myself $25 on a recent purchase through next Gen

[@gordmarshall5830]

Wonderful to see how well you apparently weathered the crash. I'm wondering if a faulty valve stem might have been in play? Really enjoy all your content and thanks for providing it. 6 pac Gord

[@oueuc2]

6:55 something I would like to see is more focused wheels instead of all arounders. We’re starting to, like the V14 and the ET Max. IDE like to see some ultra stable, low riding, street hugging machines to go with some badass off-road dedicated wheels. I’m curious how that S22 with 4 shocks feel. Makes me think of a hammock hanging from 4 springs at the corners, or a trampoline. Can’t wait until you get to test that one!

[@mazx19]

Tubeless tires should be standard.

[@WheelGoodTime]

I agree 🙂 fortunately the tire is already tubeless, I'm just waiting on the angled tubeless valve stem to arrive in the mail so I can put the wheel back together again.

[@nohomafia1169]

Are you really doing the whole breakdown in the rain? LoL

[@WheelGoodTime]

No, it started to drizzle so I wrapped up the video before it got bad. The wheel didn't get too wet and it's bone dry now

[@Harizmenn]

Хорошо, что ушел не на встречу, а в сторону на обочину.

[@formerstaffer]

would you be able to change the tires with just one side open like that?

[@WheelGoodTime]

Yes, as long as you remove the side with the motor cable. 🙂

[@onursariyer1000]

Wow

[@tpol6515]

I have a begode extreme and the quality is very good compare to the V11. I spend a lot time riding the wheel but getting more difficult riding latterly. Turn out, I have lost 10lb from my 135lb weight. Now I am only weight 125lb!! Darn it!!

[@Corn8Bit]

Really impressive progress from begode. Edit: oof I just got to the point about how easy it is to work on :(

[@WheelGoodTime]

Yeah it's a bit excessively labor intensive 😬 two steps forward, one step back I guess 😂 it's still a good wheel, you just need to set aside a good chunk of time for the projects you intend to do.

[@Corn8Bit]

Also good to hear about NGM's support after the crash.

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

i’m impressed with this thing but i think i’ll wait till the next begode 168v wheel because this one seems super tall and not very torquey but it definitely has the speed i like

[@WheelGoodTime]

When it's put back together I'm going to play with the pedal tilt settings. I'm wondering if I can get a much faster off-the line speed if I put the pedals forward a few degrees. But yes it's definitely super tall

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

@@WheelGoodTime also did you have field weakening on and if you did, how much?

[@WheelGoodTime]

@@VECTOR_Coasters I didn't have it enabled, but I'll mess with that soon

[@omidel.]

giving grades is just nonsense....you are not certifyed

[@WheelGoodTime]

I'm gonna do it anyway because it's my channel 😜
