Extreme Bull Commander - 98 mile Adventure Ride

[@eucfng]

don’t know how you do it Marty . 98 miles in one session 👏👏 i just did my personal record on my S18 today 39miles in one session no off road , my legs are tired. Keep up the good work for EUC community🤙

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thank you :-)

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

That's some great music @11:00. Thanks for the ride Marty 😊

[@clobbyhops]

None the less brother it was a good ride and video thanks

[@richarddevaottien7724]

Nice shots of the hexagonal Sun Simulator with it's unnaturally white light

[@big_petebear8535]

Gotway exist in magic notemperatureland where wheels do not generate anything but speed.😆 I canceled my preorder for my Commander and now I'm glad. I'm still dealing with a broken Monster Pro because of the temperature issues I've had with it. I don't need more problems.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I'm willing to put up with the various nuisances to enjoy the ride. And in the case of the Commander, to go places not possible with any other wheel on the planet (as of late 2021).

[@WinkieDuck]

I watch your ride videos while I eat dinner at my desk lol. Thanks for the company and the scenery

[@ElectricUnicycles]

That's awesome :-)

[@Simonisms]

Your ride videos are so relaxing 😊 Such a beautiful landscape ❤️

[@DonovanWert]

Awesome 😎 thanks Marty!!🙏Just got my first wheel!! Ks 16x rode all day yesterday!! Thanks for your guidance!!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Congrat's on your first wheel. The 16X is a solid wheel for sure.

[@clobbyhops]

Been thinking for you brother, if you can design and install some air fins or paddles that can move air onto the rim while it’s spinning this could cool the batteries a lot better than the holes in the shell, I believe this will work, Isreal H.

[@bigbear7567]

Excellent video.

[@landocycle]

Impressive! One can safely say the battery lasts all day.

[@kmg501]

Nice big ride Marty, I doubt my feet could do that much in a day but knows, I've come a long way in the last year.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Just takes time and doing longer and longer rides :-)

[@theanimalplanet7031]

Jack from King Song said Commander's CEO designs the light not to blind the incoming riders. However, it failed to have enough light for your ride, which render the light useless at night. Also heard that the breaking is not as good on hard compared to medium mode.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

My experience with breaking, in hard mode, is great. Certainly better than the Sherman.

[@theanimalplanet7031]

@@ElectricUnicycles Also, you can improve 5x air flow upon your design by constriction airflow. Just glue a small tube at the end of your larger air intake, which is your half a circle design. Here is a math to prove it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqPOooqCbrZsopY

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@theanimalplanet7031 For that to work a fan would be required. Fortunately my Monster Pro modification makes the wheel run very cool so additional cooling is not needed at all.

[@ninja636king]

I love the tests u do for us. This might be my next wheel if they figure out t he heat issues.

[@vinnyqm]

Hi Marty, i stay here in Covina and moving to Glendora pretty soon. I also intend to buy 2 of these commanders for me and my brother as upgrades to our 16S and 18XL just as soon. We've rode up into the mountains as far as those wheels would take us, granted its not that far, but we've taken multiple paths. Including GMR, Big Dalton and San Gabriel Canyon road (&afew others further east. Also Mt Baldy! From Claremonts base of the mountain; on the 16S!)Sorry for the long winded comment. I just wanted to ask where this video took place, as i didnt recognize that beautiful road at the start of this video. Thanks for all the great content!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

That's Hwy 39. The ride starts at Encanto Park.

[@vinnyqm]

Sorry Marty but while you're here, I guess the more important question I should ask is if this wheel is better now than it was 2 years ago. .? Disregarding the fact that suspension wheels exist; Have most of the problems of the past been resolved through the lense of EWheels and their products . You know.. since I'ma buy 2 of them 😅 combined for $5000! Seems an incredible deal.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@vinnyqm Still a solid wheel, but overheating was not resolved. I can't recommend the wheel in 2024 but it looks like you know what you're getting into 🙂

[@justinhb26]

I bought a V11 about a month ago, and I pre-ordered a Sherman yesterday lol. I was comparing the Commander to the Sherman when I saw this video, but the price of the Commander made my jaw drop. Just got into this hobby and I've watched almost all of your videos Marty, great content!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks for the compliment. I think the Commander isn't much more expensive than the Sherman (mostly due to the bigger battery pack). If you don't need the larger range (see upcoming video) and are trying to economize, the Sherman is hard to beat.

[@eucssplyce1229]

Except the tork

[@justinhb26]

Okay I see now, I was on eevees website and the price is in Canadian 😆

[@7belair]

Great video again, Marty. Enjoy the views and your comments. And what a great range! Seems the wheel still lacks some final touch to claim a similar position as Sherman has in the minds of the riders. Will it ever be? Or Begode quickly launches the next model... again.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

It's hard to beat the reputation of the Sherman, but this is a very comparable wheel and certainly better if you want the extreme range.

[@ricklulu3572]

so cali , so beautiful

[@jensfriedrich3143]

Dear Marty, just simplify it. Take the frontlights off please, including all plastic behinde. Would love to see the temperature results afterwards. Just bad luck it is winter in Europe. Would love to do some unicycle mods next spring season. Hope got time soon for some uploads made by my Veteran and Monster Pro.

[@urthpainter]

Nice ride 🙂!

[@stevesellers3170]

Oh yes the wind sucks. Wind really effects your riding. Enjoyed your video as usual. Looks like a good wheel. I’m torn between the commander or abrams. I mainly ride flat, bike paths, parks a little off road. Not crazy about street riding, had a couple close calls.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

If you don't need the extreme range of the Commander you have many more options for a new wheel.

[@scottsum1319]

I do wonder what's plan B if you run outta juice or blow a tire in the middle of nowhere hill. I would absolutely have anxiety attacks just thinking about it. O btw I saw somewhere that the factory Sherman seat fits perfectly & will hold in place with some velcro. Far's lights go, I always carry & use a flashlight as the main night light, regardless of whichever wheel I ride with however good headlights. I use a Thrunite TC20 which pumps out ~2k lumens for >2hrs. Its as bright as an auto headlight.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Plan B is to walk. I also carry a very large trash bag with me that I can potentially stick the wheel in so I can come back to pick it up on another day. I also carry powerful lights with me when I'm planning to ride at night, but sometimes advanced planning doesn't work. Having a powerful headlamp is very useful in many of my wheels. Just not this one or the Monster Pro.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The Sherman seat does kind of fits, but still sucks compared to the aftermarket seats that are available.

[@Cr125stin]

Call an Uber

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@Cr125stin Calling an Uber isn't an option when you are 7000-feet up in the mountains, 8-miles from the nearest road, and there is zero cell phone coverage :-)

[@v4v777]

You always need to carry some slime for the tube with you... in case of flats, and a pump... now if the motor or the motherboard fails... its another story.... you just hide the wheel, like Marty says, and go on your trusting feet to cover the distance back. And always have plenty of water with you.

[@daley1985]

When are we going to see the Sherman seat video?I never ride at night without a proper hand torch,even though the Shermans light is ok!Is the Commander going up overheat hill???Nice video Marty.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The seat barely fits :-( Yes, I will be taking it up the hill

[@ThemrtyFr]

Begode has managed to make a nice alternative to the Sherman. With more power and more battery and with some improvements. This Commander is a great answer and will compete with LeaperKim. Thanks for this video Marty ! ;)

[@superfly99206]

Looking forward to riding in California, missed the tour again but I do want to ride at least one time. The wheel your testing looks interesting, good range, speed is not a requirement for me as my average speed is 22 to 26 mph trail riding is slower. While the range is less I'm curious to see real world tests with the king song S20, thanks for your effort

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I do look forward to receiving the S20

[@Papalou1234]

commander v2 they will make better light and better airflow and they will sell it 300/500$ more 🤦🏻 anazing ride Marty!!!

[@indianaeuc7617]

Did you notice a tilt back at around 45mph?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I'm not a high speed rider and my Commander is the high-torque version (max speed of 38mph)

[@eucssplyce1229]

Hey Marty the extra fan mode i didn't, do you think it's worth testing.

[@eucssplyce1229]

Check out my page

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Maybe. Look for my next video (today) that you will probably find interesting. I test another simple cooling mod.

[@eucssplyce1229]

Ok

[@gliderrider]

It’s just a matter of time now until someone rides across the USA. It won’t be me though. I’m sure it’s priced out of my range. Plus I’m not in shape. Lol

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Ray Rokni and I will be riding across the United States next August :-) It'll be documented on this channel.

[@gliderrider]

@@ElectricUnicycles That will be one for the books!

[@mr2wheels836]

nice scenery if dont mind me asking what microphone did u use sound so clear and less wind noise?

My equipment can be found in the video Description. I use a lapel microphone and record separately to a voice recorder, fixed in post.

There is no seat for the Commander.

Is this the HS or HT model?

It won't surpised if most EUC riders trade their Sherman for a Commander. The then again Abrams is around the corner, lol
