Sherman L Higher Speed Range Test - Part 1

[@kayakeux]

Heavier wheels are a plus in windy situation but a minus if you stay on 2nd floor.

[@mkygod]

I think for a lot of people, weight is a bigger concern than range, so I can see the Lynx still being the better wheel for most people even if money isn't factor.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The decision of which wheel to buy is much easier if you have hard constraints, like weight.

[@neurokinetik]

Seems incredibly efficient. I know I typically see 45-55Wh/Mi on my OG Sherman at about the same average riding speed for the tour, but was seeing you getting readings in the 30s when you were going over 30mph, and not even doing seated riding, which would improve the numbers even more. Amazing.

[@ed_boogie]

So much range it needs a part 2. Glad I pulled the trigger early on the sherman L. Thanks Marty and crew for your impressions on this unit.

[@Jeremybaland]

I just bought one of these! Great video thanks.

[@spikebbc]

So nice to watch you stop at lights! 😂. Can’t wait for you to compare this wheel to the Commander Max!

[@AleGalaxyEUC]

That s right ,Sherman L is the wheel . i got a Sherman S ,the L got more torque and speed , only 2 o 3 kg more ,that s great

[@RadiantFreeEnergyResearch]

oh my goodness, and i have only had my Lynx for approximately two weeks. and i have noticed that i only get approximately 55 to 60 miles of range, although i’m cruising 35 to 45 miles per hour every chance i get 50-60% of the ride. to think of what wheels will be coming out in the next two years is truly beyond imagination. i mean, what the wheels will be capable of. next level, beyond beyond.

[@ChrisH0Y]

I agree, the Sherman L is better than the Lynx. I would given it a whole new military tank name. I would love to have this wheel as a winter commuter. Also... nice play, Leaper Kim.

[@RadiantFreeEnergyResearch]

great video quality, and great video. it amazes me that you are only traveling at 28 miles per hour, watching your video, it looks like you are traveling 50 miles per hour or more.

[@Platypus-Dreams]

Who could have predicted that Marty would love this wheel😅

[@KiwiMark67]

I've done similar speed for a similar distance on my Sherman S - taking the battery down to ~25-30%. Still having 45% battery is a decent amount better.

[@COBARHORSE1]

When you do the next range test, or any longer ride, can you tell us what EUCworld shows for Wh/mi ? The Sherman L looks like it may have to be my next wheel next year, even though I bought a new wheel just last fall.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

You can look at all the data here for this ride, euc.world/tour/635328347618180

[@skapri]

​@@ElectricUnicyclesSherman L consumes at 50kmh as much as my v14 at 35kmh 😅

[@bae-song678]

Whats that range compared to the masterpro?

[@ChrisH0Y]

I've been doing 85mi regularly on my V3, with a hill climb at the end. Speeds between 20-34 mph, cruising about 25 - I have about 60% battery after resting it at the end of the trip. I think with that big wheel size and still the biggest battery, I'm sure the Master Pro will get much better range, but my V3 weighs 127 lbs, so there is a trade.

[@cruisinatl9495]

On my V2, I've gotten to 50% in 20 miles. Average riding speed of 34mph on EUC world. That's with a lot of stop and go, and hard acceleration each time. If you don't ride like a maniac, the master pro is amazing. 20mph average riding speed, 20 miles got me to 77%.

[@Duf]

Miller Lite for me!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I refuse to spend any money on piss water

[@Duf]

@@ElectricUnicycles Ok ok, either an IPA or a margarita with top shelf tequila lol

[@gritred5500]

I’m still riding a sherman without suspension and I have a lot for which to look forward. Here call me out if i’m wrong: Nice cushy suspension with lots of options (4 shocks ?? seriously, so curious maybe flawed?) Active bms , higher current lower resistance batteries, more weight unless I consider the Falcon, possibly (very important to me) easier maintenance, I have never ridden seated (there is that), a wheel that does not self explode meaning the rim, fake safety and ip certification, hopefully fail safe for battery or other issues (where is AI and I don’t mean fuzzy logic lol). I won’t continue but just to say I can wait but I can’t “wait.”

[@grb1969]

4 shocks is the Kingsong F22. The Sherman-L uses the same 2 FastAce shocks found on the Lynx with a slightly different but compatible springs (linear versus progressive).

[@gritred5500]

Sorry, I was not clear. I was “ranting” about All these new wheels and the features All of these wheels they are coming with some really interesting benefits. I do not get why kingston would try to add 4 suspension rails and or shocks because if one goes out the wheel will be off balance meanwhile the weight of 4 vs 2 and likelihood of failure is doubled as is cost?

[@ThePawel36]

In other words, an ultimate wheel...

[@BlackTalon53]

The Santa Fe dam at 17:45 reminds me of the most boring parts of the Danube river cycle path I have ridden on my EUC, just without the Danube.... speed is the only thing that can make such paths halfway interesting to ride...

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yeah, this 3-mile long section on top of the dam is a great place to ride really fast

[@deadbluesky]

I also prefer the pedal at -2, also on those more powerful wheels its easier to accelerate and brake in medium mode i use medium 60% all my previous wheels were in hard mode and it was perfect but on my Lynx medium is the best, i don't like the soft mode the pedals dip way too much. The L seems more stable than the Lynx though probably because of the weight and the larger tire.

[@CountVonC4]

This isn’t an official high speed range test without the cape Marty come on man.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

LOL

[@dnthmn117]

Marty, how do you deal with wind noise in your helmet on your longer rides? It's something I'm contending with and I'm trying not to need to wear earplugs every time I want to go above 30 mph due to wind hitting my chest and coming up inside the helmet. I don't see this talked about much in the community.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Must be your helmet. I use Scorpion AT950 & AT960 helmets and the wind noise isn't that bad.

[@TheTriexy]

Than we will see part 2 I want to know what is the end range :)

[@eddrush209mph]

Great feedback again Marty. Will have to agree the Sherman L will the upgrade for the vast majority of riders in 2024. Question, do you know the make/manufacturer of the Tyre?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The tire info is in my unboxing video - sorry, I don't remember

[@grb1969]

Check out yesterday’s video by ‘Wheel Good Time’ (3:00-4:15) for pertinent info on Sherman-L tire.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@grb1969 Or he could watch MY video 😆

[@eddrush209mph]

@@grb1969 Appreciate the help again but I settled for Marty's unboxing video lol. Thanks Marty! 🥳

[@garrypendergast2800]

Great video Marty. I just saw an image uploaded showing the voltages and associated % of battery left for the Sherman L, and while your EUC World was displaying 126.5V and 45%, the chart I saw was 126.4V and 30%. Do you think EUC World numbers are more accurate in real world conditions?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

My EUC World is calibrated and is 100% accurate. Note that it's with Low Voltage mode enabled.

[@TheTriexy]

@@ElectricUnicycles How can u calibrate it? My charger says 20% euc world 40 and KS app too :D iam thining to buy an veteran sherman L but iam worried about the jump from KS 18XL to such heavy wheel. But I need the range alone one travel to next city is 32 km and if I travel to the next spot I have arround 50-60km without many driving -.-

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@TheTriexy I don't understand you question. Sorry 😞

[@gritred5500]

Batteries get 8 to nine percent lighter each year very consistently. If solid state batteries get to the point they are promised there could be a leap in energy density. This could mean a 4000wh batter which weighs 34 to 35 pounds would weight approximately 21 pounds on the conservative optimistic side and could be as light as 17 pounds

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Solid state batteries are like Fusion. Just 10-years away, every 10-years 🙂

[@MathieuTechMoto]

I'm sure it would do 200km if not exceeding 25mph or be pretty close at normal speeds

[@lefotografion]

I got around 130km on the ShermanS at bike speeds, with a few bursts here and there. Could have gotten 150km. ShermanL could do 200km, but man you have to be the most patient person in existence, or have an E-Bike pedal next to you.

[@MathieuTechMoto]

@@lefotografion ive done exactly 130km too with 40-60kmh speeds, see my last video !

[@lefotografion]

@@MathieuTechMoto oh... That's like double the speeds I went😁

[@BunnyslippersEUC]

I have done 100 kilometers gps on my Abrams 2700Wh. I am over 220 pounds and was riding seated. But at speeds of 30-35 kmh. Sherman-S and L can do 200 kilometers easily.

[@arevee9429]

Aside from better range, does it really have that much over the Lynx - besides additional weight and range?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

It's a much more stable ride (no tendencies for wobbles like the Lynx). And range. If those are a don't care then the Lynx is the better choice.

[@eucmike]

@@ElectricUnicycles pedal assist on the lynx gets rid of the wobbles in the latest firmware.. L came with this set to 50% out of the box likely why it feels more stable as well.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@eucmike I turned off pedal assist. So no, that does not contribute to the stability of this wheel.

[@dustinhankins2153]

Are the pedals at axle height lower like the Lynx? Are they adjustable?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Pedal height and configuration is identical to the Lynx. They are not adjustable. There are 3rd party accessories that allow you to change the pedal height.

[@franklinbrown7389]

I still wanna know when that thing starts beeping from top speed. Nobody is talking about that.

[@lefotografion]

Because you can adjust it when it beeps. Records have been over 100kmh

[@trishdao6689]

I’m about 200 lbs with gear, which suspension 62 or 66 for street ride and feel most comfortable luxuriously soft? Your advice 🙏thank you!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

That is about my riding weight and I'm very tempted to stick with the 70 lb spring but I think 66 would work very nicely. I don't think I would go lower

[@trishdao6689]

@@ElectricUnicycles I usually ride lightweight non suspension wheels everyday. The Sherman L has safety, range, suspension and style but a lot heavier (70-108lb) than the wheels I usually ride. I’m wondering if it’s gonna be a big change if I switch to the Sherman L street rider? 🙏

[@TheTriexy]

@@trishdao6689 yeah iam thinking the same -.- iam using an KS 18XL for street, forest and offroad without jumping.

[@dustinhankins2153]

Would you agree that the Lynx is still better for racing and has faster acceleration and braking than the Sherman L?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes. There's no doubt that the Lynx is more nimble. I will say that braking on the L is much more stable than the Lynx.

[@dustinhankins2153]

What does the L stand for?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I don't think anyone knows. What does "Sherman S" mean?

[@c4ristopher]

I thought "Sherman S" was short for "Sherman Suspension" and I think the "L" is just for "Lynx" because they have essentially combined the Sherman and the Lynx together to make this wheel. Even as popular as the Lynx is, is doesn't have as strong branding as the Sherman name does. It has had more iterations at Leaperkim and also has more of that strong tank feel compared to the Lynx name.

[@TheTriexy]

Maybe L = Long Range S = Suspension i think thats the point

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@TheTriexy Good suggestion. Yet the boxes are labeled "P". So who really knows 🙂

[@TheTriexy]

@@ElectricUnicycles Maybe for another one called Veteran Sherman P for power :D so higher watt on motor. Is it hard to handle a sherman because iam driving at the moment an Kingsong 18XL but my range is 60km+ and because that iam thinking to buy one. But iam driving first street, to reach my spots like forest offroad =so sandy, rocky ground and so on. Without jumping or so :)

[@Duf]

First!

[@grb1969]

🤤

[@roadtrip6075]

Obviously, one of the main reasons people will get Sherman L is because of its 4,000wh battery packs. That being said, 30mph range test is kind of pointless these days. People want to see if it can do 60miles distance at 50mph all the way.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

You REALLY think it's pointless? LOL. I doubt most people are riding 50mph continuous. Give me some statistics and I'll be willing to change me mind.

[@dantemarcos1410]

I’m a 30mph rider max 😅. I don’t feel the urge to meet my maker yet 😅. This range test makes absolute sense in my opinion. But I respect your opinion also.☺️👍

[@roadtrip6075]

@@ElectricUnicycles Yes, 30mph range test on the top performance long range wheel with 4,000wh is pointless, because everyone knows that it will go forever at 30mph. We already know. Ask yourself, would you drive 30mph to the next city that's 60miles away when you can drive 50mph? Most people who will get this wheel want to know how far it can go at high cruising speed on long distance. p.s. GPS speed please, because cars don't care wheel speed.
