Mine arrives tomorrow! Very excited to zip around short distance rides on it where my Commander Mini would be overkill.

so happy to see a small EUC well equipped ! it goes right into the meaning of what EUC should be ( for me ) small, practical and still with some good specs!

Looks amazing. Very hopeful this will be one of those legendary ones.😌👍

I bought one for offroad. I unboxed mine from eWheels a few days ago. I have no complaints except for the Trolly handle. I wish they kept the one from the prototype, I'm not a fan of the Begode design but that's just personal opinion, metal can still look cheap, and hinder seat attachment in some cases. It would be better if it locked opened as well. I crashed the Falcon twice already (once from trying to learn to sit and once from cut out , I think, because the road was clean I was trying to go 20+ mph around 30% + - battery, in race mode) Anyway all that to say that the handle is loose now because it's connected to the body through a large array of failure points(screws). It's not a huge deal obviously, but it sucks that the 6 screw heads at the front control the position of the trolley handle relative to the lock above the tail light in the back. I would like the entire handle setup to telescopic and vertically incased within the back. So it is protected and out of the way, unless I need it. As for other things. After a few months I plan on getting a hole saw bit for a drill and some waterproof grommet or similar to cap the holes I'll be drilling in the top of the plastic cover above the suspension adjustment, so I can maintain waterproofing and still be able to access the dials inside whenever I want, without tools. In regards to the stock pads, I don't mind them but I have small feet. I will be replacing them with Mini Grizzla pads maybe. I'm not sure yet. But I will say that for me the stock pads would be fine if they protruded from the sides further. The braking pad is not wide enough, and I guess the Toe gap could be a little more spacious vertically, but as much as I've rode it (20 miles) I think it is okay for me. But the pads are definitely for Asian sizes or children. All in all pretty good wheel. Would buy again.

I Strongly believe this is the best EUCs in performance, weight and potability as the Teslas T2 T3 series (Pound for pound one of the BEST EUCs.) Sensei Vegan and I agree on this. Good one Gotway/ Begode, as all the other EUCs manufactures forgot about Weight, size, speed and portability. Thanks for the video guys. Cheers from Northern NJ.

@EclecticWizard6 5 ай бұрын

Would love to see more wheels this capable that are this size. Gonna be the perfect starter wheel for alot of people that will still be worth keeping. Edit: Rode one I love it and want one now. So much power for how small it is. It's like if an EUC was a skateboard.

@scottsum1319 5 ай бұрын

Dont know for sure but its likely, preload is adjusted with diff spring weights. Too bad I'd have to wait til one of the local crew gets it to try it out. Should be a great replacement for the Assassin 'cept for the much steeper pricing

For the Falcon, it's probably best to try and print your own Pads

@alainheekhout8198 5 ай бұрын

Is it true that the Falcon hugs the side of the road too much (like the Z10 from Ninebot) which is surprising and very unpleasant (probably an effect of the width of the tubeless tire).

@ElectricUnicycles 5 ай бұрын

No, nothing like the Z10. It's the same tire that's on the A2.

Bonjour, est-il exact que le Falcon épouse trop le devers de la chaussée ( comme la Z10 de chez Ninebot) ce qui surprend et est très désagréable (sans doute un effet de la largeur du pneu tubeless) ?

@ElectricUnicycles 5 ай бұрын

Absolutely not

@christophertricas9065 5 ай бұрын

Which wheel would you recommend between the S16 & The Falcon? I'm having a hard time deciding....

@ElectricUnicycles 5 ай бұрын

Depends on your use case. The S16 is a faster wheel, has cool lights, longer range. The Falcon has a better suspension, is more powerful (not faster), is much more nimble, and is smaller and lighter. If you do get the S16 be sure to buy the Pro version.

@christophertricas9065 5 ай бұрын

Thanks Marty. I've been riding an mten3 for several years. 99% of the time off road (grass,gravel and dirt.) I really need suspension and something that will not dump me on my face every time I hit a pothole in my lawn. Lol I'm 50 and and it s getting harder to pick myself up after a spill. Thanks for all the videos....

@ElectricUnicycles 5 ай бұрын

@@christophertricas9065 I think the Falcon will fit your needs nicely then. Buy it with the knobby tire for sure. P.s. a big enough pothole can still dump you 🙂 but certainly less likely with the much bigger tire of the Falcon.

Just got my Falcon yesterday…. I love it. Coming from a mten3 this thing is huge! lol. These things are way bigger in real life than they appear on KZbin. Thanks for the help.

If you're not used to Begode wheels, you probably have to disable the first two speed alarms. It should not beep at 25 mph

@slayerspam 22 күн бұрын

It shouldn't beep at 25mph? That's a relief, because I was about to return mine for being so slow and having such low range. It won't go faster without chirping at 25 so I'm gonna look into that before I return it in favor of the Begode Extreme@@ElectricUnicycles

@ElectricUnicycles 22 күн бұрын

@@slayerspam I should say that if you want to ride fast, small wheels like the Falcon should probably be avoided. You are comparing the Extreme (a high performance advanced wheel) with the Falcon which is not a high performance wheel and might be considered a beginner wheel. Wheels with small batteries are certainly more dangerous to ride that bigger wheels. The Extreme has a huge battery compared to the Falcon. Maybe your expectations were wrong when you selected the Falcon?
