[@morienbendinelli1554]

@@evXNYC alright. Maybe it's a bit too late lol, but how about tyre wear? I had issues with early tyre wear on my old KS-14D. But truth be told, perhaps I was using it much more than it was designed for. My 16X original tyre has about 2x the mileage of the original one from my old 14D. And it'll still get 1x more before I think about replacing it. Tyre width counts. But so does diameter. "Maybe it's a bit too late" - because I'm about to upgrade...

So funny going back in time as an early adopter of riding EUC’s how slow EUCs were. No suspension. But when this video was made 31 was fast ..still is with no suspension. You made great early EUC reviews.

As someone that owns an 18L (with XL battery pack) and who spent two weeks testing a 16X, my answer is clear. Although the 18XL has classic styling and a great powertrain, the 16X could do everything the 18XL does (go fast and far smoothly) in addition to being more agile and more able to handle non-road terrain with the 3 inch tire. 16X is my clear winner.

[@evXNYC]

@@AzeShorts Yes I too was tortured by the 18L. I went theough 3 control boards. It was wild! But eventually it worked out and my 18XL is the most trusty all around wheel. (I did the 18L to XL upgrade)

[@jimjj8446]

18XL is the best. I gave my 16X to my brother since I prefer bigger wheel and i dont like the feeling of 16 inches wheel.

[@apb64]

Там 17 дюймов, вообще-то! ))

[@libborr]

My KingSong 16s does 60km per charge. Acceleration in first few seconds is faster than standard cars. I can ride big hills, offroads etc And the best thing is the weight: ONLY 17Kg so you lift it and go

[@Ylte]

Good comparison, but I do find it strange to claim that the 16x is better than the 18x off-road. First it is the wheel diameter, where larger is clearly better when there are roots and rocks in your way. Second, a narrower tyre is more nimble, because of less rotating mass, which allows you to go faster through rough terrain, they can operate with a higher tyre pressure without becoming bouncy, and it has more grip, because of more weight on a smaller footprint. Wide tyres do have an advantage on loose surfaces, if you lower your tyre pressure. For me the 16x is a urban wheel, borderline Z10 novelty, and the 18x is still the jack off all traits king. It is much easier to learn how to balance your self for high speed stability than it is to have fun maneuvering a train. I do not hope wide tyres becomes the norm.

[@yayagazab4449]

Has anyone had any problems with NYPD stopping you or issuing a summons? Also, some trains & buses do not allow you to take the EUCS onboard, but on NJ transit trains I have seen the electric scooters. My colleagues say you can take the e-wheels on NJT buses, but they have to be put in the cargo spaces. Some bus drivers will give you a hard time.

[@evXNYC]

Yaya Gazab NYPD has been chill. I don’t take public transit anymore since I ride EUC exclusively but i haven’t heard of the mta giving anyone a hard time.

[@SteveJulien]

Thank you brother! Fantastic video. I’m four weeks in to my first wheel, an Inmotion V8. I love it, however I’m constantly on the warning beeps after 150 miles. I’ll keep it until it breaks, but think I’ll order the 16X pronto.

[@WILSONsHobbies]

Only been riding 2 1/2 months , 16s and then 16x and iM already thinking of a new wheel . 18XL is on my radar and it seems interesting since i hear it has better comfort and stability sacrificing torque and some maneuverability compared to the 16x. But...i don't think i want to spend another 2000 just to add minor tweaks to riding. Ill stick with 16x for now. I think the clear upgrade from any of these wheels would be the sherman, latest gotway wheels, or V11 . The time i would get any of those wheels once they start shipping out from the factory at the time of writing this comment, would be when it start snowing here in Maine. So prob will wait till next year when hopefully their is no more wait time to to secure the next generation of wheels, and the snow subsides. Good video evX!

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Great vid as usual. Not looking for either, have my eyes set on Inmotion V10F, but enjoyed the vid none the less ☺ Cheers

[@evXNYC]

PATRICK MCKOWEN thanks! That’s a very fun wheel too!

[@yayagazab4449]

Great advice. Short & sweet. Btw, Kingsong needs a competent bi-lingual (Chinese to English) translator because their English instruction manual for the 18XL is poorly written & difficult to understand.

[@GlenEdwards]

I’ve just become a pretty decent 3rd day rider of my new 16X largely because of your “how to” video on learning. I’m carving tight circles and able to weave in and out between parked cars, but higher speeds are still a bit wobbly. Thanks man, your vids are great.

[@evXNYC]

Awesome! Good to hear. Keep at it. The 16x is a very fun EUC. Just putting the hours in makes much better. In a month you’ll look back at today and think: man i was awful on day 3 or 7. And that’s exciting!

Very interesting overview. Yet to help decisions based off full specs, what would you state about more simple comparisons such as height of front/rear lighting, ground clearance of pedals, height/length of retractable handle, &/or all around control based on a 2” tire diameter difference?

[@CashCowCellular]

I love your helmet! Where did you get it?

[@gytrash]

Nice review. I guess that would answer a lot of die-hard Kingsong fans' questions, but in reality, more neutral folk would be asking how each of these wheels stack up to what other brands have to offer. Anyway, we are blessed in the EUC community to at least have some choice. I'd love to see how an American manufacturer, or even a German or Japanese maker would make these things. Would we get the 'Apple' of EUCs? Or the Mercedes or Sony equivalents? China has this one in the bag, doesn't it? 😉

[@evXNYC]

MAtt Gytrash i mean when I’ve talked to Hsiang about this, he’s convinced it isn’t a hard piece of tech to produce. China just happened to dive in. If a more western country started making these, i think the first thing we would see is redundancy with the control boards and a smaller backup battery for when you draw too much power. - as far as these stacking up? It’s a hard metric to establish since these wheels are more focused on the ride experience and safety, compared to say a GotWay wheel that is all about speed and nothing else.

[@gytrash]

ev X: I guess in America and Europe clarity is most in need at the moment. Secondly, a regulatory framework for manufacture. Once these are in place, and if that combined package was attractive to both consumers and producers, these things could really take off. The West is way too slow off the mark, sadly and China will have all these issues figured anyway long before the first factories over here are tooled up! ☹️ Well more power to them, I say. Let China reap the reward for being ahead of the curve.

[@jashton8710]

I'm eyeing the V11 and 16X and I'm kinda leaning toward the 16X for the superior (claimed) range.

Mate, you definitely crank out the highest quality cinematic EUC videos. You said that the 16x has it's speed limited earlier than the 18xl? By how much? Keep up the great work. would love to see some offroad trail vids

[@evXNYC]

Noo Noo in the latest firmware they start the speed throttle for the 16x at 74v of 50% battery. My 18XL might not have the latest firmware but it still throttles at 30% battery.

[@noonoo4774]

Oh, that's very interesting. And a real bummer on the part of the 16x. It definitely looks awesome though. I love the more aggressive styling.

[@evXNYC]

Noo Noo i mean it makes sense from a power perspective. I’m not mad about it.

[@bookmark2846]

I hope Gotway's next iteration combines daily driver functionality with the top speeds they are known for. I'd wait in line for that one. This seems more likely to happen than King Song raising the speed ceiling on KS wheels.

[@brandonjpj1]

I have about 500 miles on my KS18XL and ride often at 20-25mph. I have never felt I needed more speed than what the 18XL offers. Cants say I have even gotten the 31 mph tilt back yet. lol

[@evXNYC]

That seems to be typical for most people. I also believe KS codes the firmware ot make it harder for you to hit those higher speeds, where Gotway lets you fly right up to it with ease.

[@Esaens]

hi bro, can you let me know that brand/model of your black roll top rucksack - it would go well with my Z10. Thanks

[@frankhernandez133]

To clarify a few comparisons; the 18XL pedals are at 10” length while the 16X are at 9.5”. How much does/could that half inch differ the ride comfort? From your experience, how does less width & more height create better “stability” &/or “longevity” for a tire or the model? Long distance ride is noted about the 16X just before statements about its speed. With both models having equal top speed, what is the downside to “top speed being limited” earlier?

[@evXNYC]

Frank Hernandez it’s more about the wheel diameter. 18” is always more stable. Buuut the 16”x3” makes it super close in stability. Downside of top speed being limited earlier: less fun sooner if you’re an aggressive fast rider. But they fixed this in the latest V1.07 firmware update. 😎

My friend has the Z10 and I have the 18XL, we went riding and quickly I noticed his wider tire could handle gravel and sand and loose dirt much better than my 2.5 tire. I would have to say after a 12 week experience of riding the KS18XL It is perfect for street only'. Sand on concrete, gravel, and mountain trail type settings, I don't see an average rider being able to ride that terrain. Maybe I suck but that thin tire sticks to pavement but dirt and sand roads feel scary loose. I'm gonna try that wider tire and like my friend on a Z10 ride off road.

Unless you live somewhere near a jungle, then all your roads are paved and no need to talk about offroading. I am at crossroads re what to get as well: 18xl or 16x. My needs are - 1) keeping the speeds of up to 25-30 mph the longest without recharging (you say 16x drops after 50%); 2) longest range in the same conditions (90kg with my backpack and almost no hills in warm weather); 3) ease of transportation on public transport (weight, wheeling around); I am currently fine with my 16s and only rarely wish I had more top speed on empty parts of the road. It is mostly my last mile friend and so if I switch, I need a reason (top speed + range increased). I ride a Z750, a bicycle and a car as well so the euc is for local trips and last mile rides (although I do ride to work which is around 5 miles away and it lasts me for almost 1.5 trips to and fro)

Whenever i meet anyone that weighs around 250 i have 2 suggestions: KS18XL & GotWay Monster. Pros to the monster are the heights, axel weigh limit, and high speed. Cons, the shell is very fragile compared to other wheels, pedal clearance is a little lower than the latest wheels. 18XL pros: axel weight limit, smooth feel, high pedal clearance, durable shell. Cons: top speed is only a true 29mph (despite KS saying it’s 31), and torque is not as good. So 18XL should be good for you, but a monster might be your end result if you grow out of that wheel.

@@evXNYC thanks! The turnoff with the monster is the weight and no trolly. I am absolutely going to look into the 18X more. Thanks for the response!

Giuseppe Vaccaro also look out for the new 100v MSX. Should be fine with your weight too.

Ended up going with the 18XL. Learned it in a few hours and just took it out for a few laps around prospect park. Love it so far! Thanks for the recommendation dude, hope to see you in one of those famed NYC group rides!

Giuseppe Vaccaro hey man, come to Kung Fu Tea at St.Mark in the city any night of the week. We ride every night. Would love to meet ya and give you some evwhere stickers for the new wheel. 😎😎

This bugged KS16 Shit is a extasy for slow worms . 6 firmwares left and it's still bad. Just wasting money. Nikola Plus or Monster all the way. Tesla v.2, mcm5 for low cost runners.
