Begode Falcon Trail Test

[@OnAirPromo]

Still watching - but this is such a fun video. I can't believe how talented this group of SoCal rider's is... The best of us representing. 👊

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks Larry. It's great to have access to such great riders

[@OnAirPromo]

@@ElectricUnicycles Of course that includes you... The riding of trails with the 9 foot selfie stick is just mind-boggling.... I can't even ride them holding my urine! 😂

[@skipsmoto]

Ripping around with friends looks like so much fun. Also, that little wheel looks super capable 👏👏👏

[@dantemarcos1410]

Mighty falcon spreading its wings 🙀💪. Nice testing Marty!👍

[@curtflirt2]

The Falcon actually being able to go up that far up the hill is great

[@mikerickman3426]

Everyone pray that Chris stays healthy, otherwise, it will be trips to feed the ducks from now on * you guys are so much fun to watch, and I'd rather you stay safe than crazy :)

[@mikeintampa250]

Hi Marty, this has to be one of your best videos yet both entertaining and re production quality. Aubsome wheel at 48:51 LOL. Hope Rodger gets better soon.

[@kovalski5539]

This is a wonderful exciting video! Thank you!👍🏻

[@laurv8370]

Haha, loved how Roger waited for Chris to arrive there first, before saying he would have made it on the second try 😀

[@ceasercruz8785]

This video is exactly why the falcon will be my first wheel

[@retrothruster2539]

More fantastic content, y'all live in EUC heaven! The Falcon is really something, climbing that stuff on a street tire at 35 psi is awesome, not just for the wheel but the talent to do it. I'm on the knobby with the Beidou pads coming tomorrow, super excited, still in the honeymoon phase but I love this wheel!

[@peterterrazas9919]

This Is great video! Looks like fun. Way to go on the Falcon!

[@freddeau5568]

Super vidéo. Merci 🙏

[@marceloalejandrovallejos840]

Esa Rueda de prueba esta muy buena, pero para Roger con su Super Energía le es poco la Rueda. 😊 Saludos al Grupo desde Argentina Buenos Aires...

[@wilsonmeredith5517]

Pretty impressive without a knobby tire.

[@awengirr]

I was about to buy the Patton but now I will order the Falcon. It is smaller, lighter, cheaper.

[@EUCnoobcake]

This video made me order the Falcon. Thanks guys 😅 What psi setting you recommend for a new rider? 165lbs

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I'd start at ~22-psi until you get used to the tire and then go with ~30psi to keep the rim safer. Congrat's

[@EUCnoobcake]

@@ElectricUnicycles thanks!

[@brockshields9336]

I enjoyed your presentation throughout, with a really exciting recap at the end (put to an outstanding music soundtrack). My biggest question would be..... Would the Falcon do even better with a more aggressive tread? It did do surprisingly well with the smooth street tire. Thanks for sharing.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The wheel is available with either a street or knobby tire. Absolutely, the knobby tire is the better option for doing stuff like what's in the video.

[@ilive4d80s6]

I want the Falcon so badly, but my family won't let me have it eversince I mention that I wanted a euc. I had injured my back work related in 2016 and was out from walking for about 5 years, and when I finally was able to walk again and started light working moving around but couldn't stand for a long time. I was barely able to get my family to budge on me riding again on my motorsickle. Well, riding a motorsickle is a little easier since I can sit on it while riding unlike a unisickle. I told them I would get a seat for the falcon and I could ride sitting down. They wouldn't budge. I wouldn't mind not really getting it, but right meow my motorsickle got a flat, and I"m kind of on a budget so it's going to be a little whiles till I can replace my rear tire. I was thinking of getting the Falcon so I can have a backup in riding. I"m going to try to persuade my family to let me get the Falcon.

[@noelleonard2498]

51 y/o here, I've had back issues in the past, own a 16x and a master. Have motorcycles too, honestly I do what I want regardless of what the wife wants. Get that falcon and have fun, you only get to live once.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Great video 👍 This video may have to have changed my mind. I didn't think this wheel would be that capable. I want a small wheel for trail riding vs my heavy Master. And if you can do all that on a street tire! Cheers

[@ElectricUnicycles]

It's performance that day surprised everyone and has convinced many that it's a wheel they could have fun with it. I thoroughly like it.

[@christophegilles4969]

Very great video ! It's hard to swap road tire for knobby tire ?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Absolutely not.

[@walterwilliams268]

The 33rd try is a charm…..😂

[@michaelmason4654]

I would like to see a comparison between the falcon and S 18. They both have nearly the same specs.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

S18 = old wheel, which I don't have. I can say the Falcon has more power and far less likely to be overpowered. The S18 battery configuration was not good for energy delivery.

[@selectagage]

Marty, thanks great video ! The s18 is being issued with 50s Çell’s at next gen, do you think you will review it? Do you think that upgrade could make it a relevant wheel again?

[@NMYx]

Hey Marty, What's the overall conclusion about the Falcon? I'm looking for a wheel for my GF and falcon (I still can't see in shops in europe) or S16 pro seems the most possible for her. What do you think?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The S16 certainly offers more range and speed and is very capable. It's more stable too. I think the Falcon excels at portability and playful fun. And if she is going to learn on the wheel I think the S16 will be easier than the Falcon.

[@doctorpd1959]

Is it better to get the knobby for the Falcon? Since the Falcon cannot go that fast, it may not be a good idea to get a street tire.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Depends on what you want. I prefer the smooth ride of a street tire if most of my riding is on the street, which it is for the Falcon.

[@linotaffoni2820]

Begode falcon or kingsong 16s?

[@vincentkim2721]

very good

[@AJames-jr8kw]

Lots of beeps on jumps. But no cut offs luckily.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Lots? I don't recall hearing many Falcon beeps during most of the ride.

[@ChrisTorina1]

That’s because I’m used to jumping my master and the falcon is so light that the slightest movement forward in mid air makes it do that. I got used to it though and with more practice it’ll be fine for jumping 👍🏼

[@patrickmckowen2999]

​@@ChrisTorina1 Chris, great skilz👍 What's your weight. Cheers

[@ConsilienceDVO]

Still holding out for Falcon Pro or Plus

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Good luck with that :-)

[@laurv8370]

...or Pro Plus 🤪

[@AJames-jr8kw]

I wonder if Begode is thinking of using this design concept for a Tesla size wheel? More of a commuter than an off-road extreme. I guess for the moment they are happy pushing the T4.

[@sazzowl_gaming8203]

I was very sceptical but the falcon seems very good for most casual use cases....just a little too expensive

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I've been thinking about the cost question. Factoring in inflation, the cost of the Falcon is only slight more then the most expensive wheel that you could buy 8-years ago. Yet the quality and capability of the Falcon so much more that what you could buy 8-years ago. Objectively I don't think it can be called expensive for what it is.

[@sazzowl_gaming8203]

@@ElectricUnicycles but the market has changed....if you look at the T4/pro the S16PRO or even the master you get so much more performance for not that much more money..... I think I saw the t4 pro for 1600$ so you pay the premium for the lower weight and the novelty when you buy the falcon

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@sazzowl_gaming8203 Yes, compared to the T4/S16 you are paying a premium for portability. It's a choice.

[@dnthmn117]

I spy a couple Shinko 244s👀

[@denisshkabatur5937]

Tell please, what weight of the rider in this video?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

~185 pounds

[@Planet-ICELAND]

I think wheels like the E20 is going to bring lot of new people into the fold. Btw is nobody with the ACE Pro from insta360, excellent in lowlight.

[@rashie]

👍👍

[@WideLoad405]

That's such a cool little wheel. It's too small for my fat ass but it is really sweet looking.

[@davida7575]

Well I get 27 mi on Falcon riding it down to 84v

[@ElectricUnicycles]

That's going to depend on your weight and how you ride. For the average rider, no.

[@davida7575]

@@ElectricUnicycles that's 205lbs fully geared riding sidewalks in FL lol. Wasn't a challenge just a statement of fact. I did it 2 days in a row 2 different routes. First 50 miles on a 14" wheel for me though I normally ride 20s so I was a bit cautious on turns.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@davida7575 This is so funny. I miss-read your original comment. I thought you wrote, "Will I get 27 mi ...." So I was answering what I thought was a question 🙂 So that's cool that you get 27-miles. I assume the Falcon will run down to ~76-volts. I'm going to do a range test soon. Will be interesting. I only got 38-miles on the 1500wh S16 riding at ~20mph.
