S18 and EX Overheat Hill Stress Test

[@big_petebear8535]

Marty and Overheat Hill has literally changed the EUC manufacturing practices. Amazing what one man and a hill and a little bit of leg pain can do.😆

[@hdm6897]

the EX is like my ex wife too heavy and controlling .

[@adamszitas9925]

missed these shows, thanks for doing these!

[@IkemanAV]

Exciting video Marty. The S18 did surprisingly well! Thanks for doing this test.

[@juiceworldeuc]

Nick is a good guest.

[@mikeintampa250]

Hi Marty, I'm overheating just waiting for the S18 to destroy overheat Hill. Tell your friend to save his crane for another wheel, lol.

[@davidcampbell8667]

Wow, I always thought the S18 was better than some of the reviews its had. When it came out my only slight concern was battery size and with that in mind I was gonna wait for the mk11 version. Tba I think Kingsong has done a brilliant job getting the most out of what it has got especially when you compare it to the competition and after seeing all of your previous efforts on the hill this wheel can truly hold its head up...... I'd put this wheel level best wheel of 2020 with the Sherman no problems. Keep up the great work, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this wheel and more content...

[@GGnext.crazycro]

It's not the same if its not summer, and you have to carry the wheel all the way to the bottom. I miss you climbing that fence 😆

[@ullle66]

Great Video, great test, as always! Appreciate your videos! Cooling wise i have to say the S18 has one of the best motherboard/cooling as i ever experienced on a EUC, and that without fan. Even with my custom 2/3rd more power of 1850wh its not struggling at all in any kindof situation.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Hi Ulf. Yes, I'm extremely impressed with how cool the S18 runs. I really like this wheel and may be buying one. It's so nice on my mountain trails.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

How did you get the custom power pack? Is that an option or was it DIY? Any idea of your range?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@MadLadsAnonymous I don't know what a custom power pack is for the S18. This is a stock S18. See my S18 Playlist for the range test video

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Sorry, the question was for Ulf, but YT seems to have removed the option of directly replying to commenters. He says his S18 is 1850 Whr and I'm seeing the stock battery as 1,100 Whr, so just curious if it's a mod from a specific retailer.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@MadLadsAnonymous Oh, I see. I'll tag Ulf and see if he gets your question.

[@rasimhaciyev1644]

I love watching your great videos Marty As always great job!!! Thank you

[@sabotrax]

Thumbs up for the french music.

[@Cons2911]

I already have a v12, but I just bought an s18, thank you for the test. My v12 is out for a few weeks so I’ll be using the s18. I won’t do this but I’m glad i have an idea of what it can do

Just brilliant! Thank you for sharing!

[@FabriceDURAND]

Nice to see those two wheels succeded in the test

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Another great vid 👍 I think your starting to win me over on the S18 vs V11 -- I want to do more rougher trails vs smother paths so the s18 is looking better. The S18 looks like less problems with the suspension over the long run. Cheers

The side shots show the grade better. Now we can see how steep that hill really is.

[@wheelman6964]

Thanks Marty for the two wheel overheat experience, don't sell/trade the MSX!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Hopefully not :-)

[@awheel7812]

Interesting experiment

[@Duf]

Nice job with the drone bud!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks. I think that was the 3rd time I flew it. I'll get better.

[@patrickbrade1992]

Hi Marty, Big question about charging wheels. should we charge 100% every time or 80-90% to extend battery life??? Lot of conflicting info on this. Much thx!!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I have been charging all my wheels to 100% for years. Never a problem. My oldest wheel (4+ years) still performs like new. I choose not to spend any time worrying about the batteries. From my experience most people upgrade their wheel long before the batteries start to degrade.

[@thomasleutwiler4588]

Marty is sad. EX trial version passed. Your sherman burned. You should mention

[@MGSSnakeEater100]

EX passed the test. I want to see if the control board burned out or still in good condition. I'm pretty sure the Gotway EX-N will passed the overheat hill test as well, and it's more lighter than the EX. 😎

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The EX feels like my MSP going up this hill. Very powerful.

[@PaulA-pm3gx]

The ride to the first test hill was the best. Great camera, drone and music. What is the title of the French song? The music selection is always very nice. Great vid, look forward to the next ones, thanks.

i want to see the sherman again! I know is risky..but the new one should survive?!? What you think?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I already did it once. Unless someone gives me another Sherman I won't do it with mine.

[@Ronin_Ryder]

Sherman failed but ex and s18 passed? Surprising wow....

[@matelslug1]

wow, was not expecting this urban environment s18 rig to beat the overheat hill stress test, really pleasantly surprised , before watching these hill tests i always thought v11 is better built machine than s18, well i guess s18 is better.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

My subjective opinion is that the S18 is the better suspension wheel. I love its suspension relative to the other two wheels.

[@Wheel_fast_euc_rider]

I'd LOVE to do overheat hill. When are we meeting there. Not today with this rain though.

[@timrodriguez1]

🙆‍♂️ These new wheels are amazing. I am a little disappointed by the Gotway software, but that can be easily fixed.. 🤠👍

[@edgarkazak5228]

warm up those machines!!!!

[@benverhaag8191]

I wonder why the suspension cannot be easily adjusted, as with cars or motorcycles. only when that is realized I buy a euc with suspension.🤔

[@rocketsnail8338]

I would like to see a more in depth review on this high hills with Begode ex since it’s the wheel with the highest torque out there 🤩

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I would too too. Someone just needs to send me an EX 🙂

[@ZenLee]

is the EX pre-production?

Early production - it doesn't have the newest bearings.

I don't have a link, but you can probably Google it :-)

[@a.d.h.dn3d461]

Your thoughts on the shock on the EX?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

OK, but I'm waiting until I can test it for a lot longer. The S18 is far superior regarding the shocks

[@bkanegson]

So far it seems S18 optimal for 130lb Riders like Kuji and Chooch. 180lbs., 200 with a back pack, not so much. Betting against.

[@macoydacoycoy2853]

Hey Marty, didn't you just post a video of a production version of V11 on a mountain test recently? What happened to that wheel? I thought you said you're gonna test it in Overheat Hill? Did they forbid you from doing it?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes, EUCO loaned me a production V11 but I had it for a much shorter time (~1-week) and was not preapproved for taking it up Overheat Hill.

[@parapilot09]

Thanks Marty. A great test and a great performance from both wheels. My only observation was that the air temp appeared to be significantly less than your previous tests earlier this year.where the cherry picker was deployed, which may skew the results. Finally what is with this name Begode and do you know why they changed it? I don't blame you for sticking with using Gotway which was a good brand name. Begode sounds so crappy. Is that the best they could come up with? 🙄

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I don't think the ambient temperature is that important. The control board temperature rises primarily because of the large currents flowing through the board, not the outside temperature. The hottest that I've done this test may have been 10-degrees (Fahrenheit) hotter.

[@elipagan]

Marty, what was the temperature of the S18 on top of the overheat hill on the 2nd try?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I'm sorry, if it wasn't mentioned in the video then I don't know :-(

[@elipagan]

@@ElectricUnicycles that’s OK Marty. I was just curious. Really appreciate your videos!!

[@DrWizzles]

Hello Marty! Just changed my S18 tire and now when I turn it on, it won’t turn off properly anymore. I have to plug into the charger for it to turn off properly. Do you have any idea what it could be? App shows 100% 84v. Wheel rides no problem.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I would suspect the problem is with the power button connector on the control board

[@thefoss721]

Great video love the tests, on another note I feel like I have to mention.. the Friend that came along keeps talking about grip tape and how to make the other dudes wheel better, and he just looks at him and doesn’t acknowledge it… kinda rubs me in a rude way, I’ve noticed some older folks don’t like to listen to younger men’s ideas… it’s a pretty bogus and not very respectful to be like that Just be like “yeah good idea” even if your closed off to being patient my goodnesssss

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The "other dude" is me :-) Keep in mind that this is a video that captures a slice of the day and in no way represents the entirety of our interactions throughout the day. I'm not making a scripted movie - it's LIVE. So if I don't always acknowledge commentary from other people it's not meant to be derogatory towards that person. Peace.

[@Birahits]

Speed going up with that ex is fast. compared to other overheat hill tests.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes. The EX feels like the MSP, which went up this hill very fast.

[@supercurioTube]

In most videos you can hear the EX's fan, but not here. It should definitely be active in this scenario. Could you hear the fan in person?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

We could never hear it. Nick is going to open the wheel back in the EUCO shop and test the fan to see if it's actually working.

[@supercurioTube]

@@ElectricUnicycles best case scenario, Begode upgraded to super quiet fans 😁 Probably not the case give the temps observed.
