How tall are you? I’m 5’6, too small to handle a wheel this powerful?

[@ShadowSaberBaroxio]

I'm planning on buying this wheel as a 6'1" 325 lb guy. It seemed like pretty much the only EUC rated for loads of up to 350 lbs, which is where I exepect I'll be after gear and backpacks are taken into account. However, I'm a complete newbie, so is this a terrible idea?

[@grb1969]

Did you get the ETmax or another wheel? Was is a good/bad choice?

[@CanadianRambo]

No attempt to sit on it? I'd be more inclined to try top speed sitting. I love the crouched down feel of it on the Begode Hero.

[@El_Jefebbq]

Not having any waterproof rating for that price is unacceptable!!!

[@OWGAC]

Unfortunately I don’t think the typical begode customers really cared. Everyone just want more power and higher voltage and anyone who’s looking for proper certification will just keep buying inMotion wheels!

[@bobdebouwer7835]

[@JailbreakTips]

​@@OWGACI disagree. the Lynx has an IPX6 rating. Not just inMotion customers care about waterproofing. EVERY wheel should be waterproof. These things are meant to be ridden OUTSIDE so the wheel should be able to withstand outside weather/conditions

It would be cool to see a follow up of the Lynx with the recommended lowered pedal hangers from e-rides. You got it to 58 last time in the stock config, I think you easily have 60 in you with the lowered pedal height configuration. It really turns the wheel from a trail beast into a street monster.

You can't possibly know what the thoughts or intentions of the Jeep driver were at that moment. He may have been flashing his lights out of respect and excitement. EUC riders are getting a bad reputation though, because so many of them think the road laws don't apply to them. They're already illegal to ride on public roads in most countries. The reckless way that so many of them ride, especially when in groups,is not going to help that. I say that as an EUC rider of 5 years.

Also - I have a Master Pro V3 coming today - with a 5,000w motor and a 4,800wh battery - there are videos here on KZbin of this wheel clocking in at 66mph. Interesting enough, it's been a "sleeper" and has been around a few months - and hard to get ahold of one, let alone any research about it. I got it for the range - but in my mind, the potential is there.

[@ChrisH0Y]

I've been thinking about making an EUC channel with a cyber/video game alternate universe angle, but for now, I can give you some quick things about the MPV3. It's charging as I'm typing this! 5000w motor(bigger than the ETMax) with completely different blacked-out wheel spoke design, 134V, Padding setup looks the same as the V2, Same round headlight as V2, but with warmer LED emitters, 50S or 50E 4,800 wh batteries, a nice, high-performance street tire, has access to field weakening (go fast) Race Mode (go fast). The reason the V3 is so low profile is the rumors of a Master Pro Super ($8,000, and insane-sized battery, weighs a ton), and the Master Pros would be discontinued. Of course, these are rumors, and none proven true at this time. @@BasedOcra-extended

Is the ET Max worth it? Good question as I can also ask is the Lynx worth even more with less batt & speed? Notice this is NOT a value question but for a BG wheel to be analagous to a Lambo is high praise indeed. Personally, if as an Asian man with ave weight & height, the Lynx at 20lbs less would be more up my alley. That said if I'm 6"+ & closer to mid/hi 250lbs, I think I'd go ET Max. I get everything is any opinion but whats not is that the ET Max is the best built most complete wheel BG has ever made. Gotta give them kudos for that

Kudos reaching 60mph! An amazing feat for sure. In terms of racing on a track where the most important aspects are hard cornering with grip, acceleration off the bends. low center of gravity for stability, lightweight (which this is not) ... I'm assuming that this ET Max would slightly edge out the Lynx in specs, but, in real world experiences, which would you pick?

I ride a EX20S , mostly logging skid roads, there's no way I would ride anything heavier than 104 lbs. The only thing I liked on the ET Max was the easy pedal height adjust & that the battery was lower for stability then the Lynx!

[@wiggpickle]

Great review, but let's please start using corrected/gps speeds 🤙

[@space.youtube]

Let me get this right, the wheel has preload, compression and rebound adjustment and you think it's a problem? The wheel's level of suspension adjustment is not a bug, it's a feature. In fact wheels could do with one more adjustment parameter on top of preload, compression and rebound, they need high speed compression dampening too. If the Lynx had the ETmax's level of adjustment and height adjustable pedals, it could be the perfect wheel. Or to put it another way, if the ETmax was 10 kg lighter.....

[@OWGAC]

This is based on both dawn and my experience of unsuccessfully trying to tune the suspension, it's OK now but definitely a good bit worst than lynx, now if you find a correct spring for your weight than maybe??

@@OWGACThe suspension on the et max isn't the problem. EUC riders who don't understand basic suspension mechanics and set up principles is. People are learning and as they do their opinions are changing on the et max. The et max's suspension may be too much for someone who doesn't know what they're doing, but it's level of adjustment is excellent (better than the lynx) for those who do. Like I said, if only the wheel was 10kgs lighter. 🤔 Ps Are you blocking my responses?

[@freeforester1717]

‘More’ - more brawn than brain is apparent in the Max - all maxxed out ( - much like the owners’ credit card!) Makes the Lynx look rather nimble, poised and altogether a better proposition.

And how much does the wheel over-report? The speed tests should be based on GPS speeds if we want them to be relevant and comparable, wheel reported speed is just a fantasy number now, Begode wheels increasing over-reporting for every new wheel, wouldn't be surprised if this wheel is over-reporting at least 15% which would mean that 60mph is actually 51mph which is quite a difference.

Before I give my opinion, I wanted to see if there is at least one person who thinks the same as me. As always, it's Ronnie. I think that certain people don't care about real speed and they like to use fantasy speed for whatever reason. For me such reviews always have a negative flavour.

[@Erafune]

2:46 actually this statement is misleading. Voltage is not more power. (see Series vs Parallel) You can increase Voltage as high as you want by stacking all the cells in the battery pack in a single series. If a battery has 80 cells (1480 Wh) you can connect them to make a 80 x 4.2V = 336V battery. Doesn't that sound amazing? It's actually no more amazing than a 10V battery with the same amount of cells. As long as the number of cells is the same, they can provide the same Amp. The only things that matter for wheel power is 1) Motor power, and 2) Can the battery supply that power? The answer to number 2 i determined by how large the battery is, aka how many cells, and the quality of the cells, aka how many Amp each one can output. With 50S cells now being used in high power wheels, a 1480 Wh battery can power a 10 kW wheel, and a 3000 Wh battery can power a 20 kW wheel. When 50S cells is in the equation, the only thing that matters on the spec sheet is the W power of the motor, since that is now the bottleneck for more power. If all EUCs always used the same type of cell and always with the same amount of parallel cell series layout, then, and only then, will more Voltage be a measure of more battery power, since more Voltage would mean more cells in each series. But then you could just as well look at the Wh figure of the battery since that would increase just as much with more cells. So basically the two interesting battery stats to find is the total Wh and the Amp output of each individual cell used in the battery. Since both individual 50S and 50E cells has 18.5 Wh capacity, you can divide the total Wh by 18.5 to get the amount of cells in the battery packs. Then multiplicate by 4.2V (or 3.7V) and the Amp output of each cell to get the W output of the battery. Example 3000 Wh battery / 18.5 = 162 cells. 162 x 4.2V x 45A = 30 kW peak output. 162 x 3.7V x 25A = 15 kW continous output. If there's anything I'm missing or misunderstood please let me know. And of course - Thank you for your videos! Super helpful.

[@fnbeansover]

As a begode ex30 owner, buying anything with less than 3600wh of battery would be a major downgrade. It’s like going from a 55inch tv to a 49inch tv. Even with the 34 extra voltage and 500w more powerful motor, why would anyone pay $1100 dollars more for basically the same wheel.
