Gotway Monster Pro | 3600Wh | 100V | UK Review

[@eucryan]

Best honest review ever. Braking seems like the biggest deal breaker.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Yeah thats a bit dicy, there has been some mention of new footplates to tackle this. We have not heard this from GW though.

[@Bennygk-yw2fx]

Honest review ever lol. Monster is for sitting,it's a long cruiser wheel

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Slightly ha ha. Yeah for the 1000miler it would have been perfect (...if it actually did more miles per charge than the 2400wh 84v’s we used back in the day)

[@wheeliam360]

Wow that's a first! Honest reviews are always appreciated no matter the outcome. It is a good looking wheel. Back to the drawing board I guess. Ride On!👍

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thanks for following along! I hope it develops from here on out into something awesome, it needs to have something that makes it really stand out, some feature set that just makes it reasonable to be like it is.

Great video Ian, and depressing :-) It'll be interesting how well it sells (not by you obviously). I suppose if there was enough interest you'd still sell it but that's a big unknown at this point. I'm still looking forward to testing it to see how it compares in my version of a range test. If it gets more mileage than the Sherman I'd be interested in it but otherwise probably not.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Hope you are well Marty! You will for sure get more milage than me, but will be interesting how yours will benchmark against your Sherman! I have no passion for this wheel, so probably would just simply never stock it...unless I suppose 100 people had opposite views..but I would do everything in my power to let them know they are making a big mistake ;)

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@Speedyfeetuk In broad strokes it certainly looks like Gotway missed the mark with this version of the Monster.

[@bushmaster4481]

I’m a contrarian EUC rider so this wheel is probably right up my alley.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Ha ha, it will be the PERFECT wheel then!

[@RCDevotee]

Thanks for the review and honesty! Yesterday I went on a ride with Alien Rides and some BAESK8 riders. Alien Rides had the Monster Pro and we rode around for about 25 miles. One of the other riders had a Sherman. The Sherman rider (who is a very experienced rider) thought the smoothness at 35MPH+ was superior to his Sherman. However, the sluggish controls and the horrible pedals were huge detractors. A very experienced 16X rider tried the Monster and hated the pedals and absolutely super slow responses. Those orange rubber grips on the pedals are horrible once they get slick. Alien Rides mentioned it was very fatiguing to ride just 25 miles because of the sheer amount of effort required to do anything with the wheel. If you just want to cruise at high speed and don't care about accelerating, turning or stopping then I guess you would consider the Pro.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Lol, yeah a limited use case, and for me the hammer blow combined with that was PRICE.

[@Duf]

What do you think about having two charge ports positioned like a drain at the bottom of a bathtub? As you mentioned that rubber cover is not the most secure thing. Seems like a bonehead choice.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

I think....what you just wrote lol. Combined with it popping open it becomes and issue. With the RS I have not had this issue at all even with heavy offroad so its a non issue (unless you decided to leave it open or rip it off).

Ballsy move calling out the flaws on this wheel like you did. Great to hear such an honest review. I guess it pays to have someone who buys they wheels for review rather than others who maybe reserved in they opinion for fear of not having free wheels sent to them to demo. Really baffling some of Gotway decisions here like you highlighted. That charge cover for instance 🙈 Gotway on a slippery slop here with competition against Veteran? Personally I think we may have hit a size and weight limit for these right now. Maybe it time to put speed and range on the back burner for now and focus on better safety, designs and overall better more robust features. Thanks again Ian, have a great weekend ✌

[@kadensorensen5026]

I bought my monster pro roughly 4 months ago, they added a mud guard, and the charger port fits nicely, and they include pads now that help with the accel/decel. I agree on the pedal size issue still and they should have changed the front headlights because I run into the same problem when night riding where I can't see far enough ahead to adjust my course.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Congrats, and glad you got the updates!

[@demianbandera8733]

Wow! I don't think I've ever watched a video review you've made that was so depressing. There was so much excited anticipation for this wheel. I've been a Gotway fan since 2017 when I bought my first wheel, the 2400 Monster. Since then, I've bought 3 more Gotway wheels and thouroughly enjoyed them. I considered waiting for the Monster Pro to arrive before buying another wheel, but the Sherman reviews were so good and the innovation had me too excited to wait. I hope Gotway will improve the quality of future wheels so that all of us have will have a variety of great new wheels to choose from. Thanks for your review Ian. I really appreciate all you do for the hobby.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

I know! I couldn’t wait, such a shame!

You can’t ask for more honesty and integrity than a company telling you they won’t be stocking a new model EUC! 🥰

[@Speedyfeetuk]

It was tough to do this in all honesty, we LOVE electric unicycles, its a massive passion, but sometimes - rarely - a wheel doesn't make a lot of sense AND coupled with its not good value for money AND is outperformed by another wheel/s - When those collide its not possible to do anything other than how it was reviewed in this video.

[@mancbiker17]

@@Speedyfeetuk completely understandable mate. But those honest tough decisions are what keeps people coming back. It’s certainly why I still intend to buy a second wheel from you. If I could just make my bloomin mind up on which one to get. Keep flip flopping between the RS and the Sherman. I think you over here and eWheels in the U.S are probably the gold standard when it comes to the shopping experience.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

A summer time purchase you think? If so you will have plenty of time to work it out!

[@mancbiker17]

@@Speedyfeetuk I wanted a suspension wheel at first, as I have pretty knackered legs/ankles, but they haven’t got quite enough oomph. I have a Z10 at the moment so wanted something a decent step up from that. But then I saw the Sherman and people commenting on how the tyre is quite ‘cushy’. But the weight could be a bit of an issue. I also want a second wheel so that I have a winter one (probably the Z10 at this point) and a wheel for my Sunday best 😊

[@Simonisms]

Nice one Ian 👍 Thanks for spending your dosh on this machine and being disappointed so other people won't be (disappointed and skint) I suspected that such a large wheel would not really work given the physics of the EUC re- wheel size/power ratio.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

The thing is it depends where you are coming from - I am talking about it from vast experience of a huge amount of wheels. If it was your only ever wheel and you knew nothing else you might just get on with it, but when you have other wheels to bench mark it against that you have done 1000km on - you know where something is going to work well AND ticks loads of boxes. This doesnt sadly.

[@supercurioTube]

You're making the right decision to not distribute it 👍 I was wondering what you'd say about the ability to ride in the wet and wheel waterproofing. Maybe the lack of mudguard is a giveaway here? Denis Hagov (EUCSALE) said in his review that you'd void your warranty if you ride in the rain with it after observing how it's built. Since you and your customers are in the UK, and it's winter, just for this reason it would be difficult to make a case for the Monster Pro, and then there's all the other reasons (including the uncertainty about bearings) Maybe Begode will come with a reworked version in a few months, but in the meantime - nope.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Yeah I am eagerly awaiting Gen2 of this, killer blow would be a massive battery pack to give you winter, real world range of 100miles. It would be niche, but would excuse almost all its other 'flaws'

[@supercurioTube]

@@Speedyfeetuk for a much higher winter milage than the current one, the battery packs would likely need to use different cells. As it was highlighted by Adam from WrongWay recently, the LG MT50 datasheet show very conservative figures for low temperatures, giving a hint that they underperform in these conditions. The poor efficiency of the LGMT50 cells in cold temperatures might explain in part why you observed a minimal gain in range compared to your Sherman despite the 400 Wh gap.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

@@supercurioTube The 400wh more is approx a Ninebot ONE E+ difference - which with me on it did around 10-12miles. So with the extra weight and power requirements the small difference between Sherman and this Monster Pro sits about right. Its battery tech that needs to improve, and when it does these wheels will be doing 200miles and weigh less! :)

[@supercurioTube]

@@Speedyfeetuk ah you're right, it also matches 62/3200*3600, which indicates a proportional enough relationship between Sherman and Monster Pro range per capacity at at comparable speeds. It must help that there's so many individual cells in parallel 🙂 none should get too stressed even in bad & demanding conditions.

Its actually been dubbed by some as the most delicate wheel that's been made so far.

Honesty is the best policy. Looks like Begode found the wheel size limit! Maybe if it had suspension and an even bigger battery. Soon it's a motorcycle you'd never lift up. In and out of a garage only.

Imagine that lol.

[@archeebookingagent1909]

before you sell it open it and make sure there is water in it.. or you just passing ticking time bomb.. some of these had open holes where the LED brackets are.. make sure to put silicone there on both sides front and back and both left and right. for me Voltage over % any day. You need to put on the bigger Gotway pedals. I believe all orders now have the cast big honeycomb pedals.. you got first batch.. put those on and see how it is.. definitely less effort. Now as of the range. I can empty this wheel in 30-40 miles.. but I can also ride for about 80 miles if I ride in 20's .. I'm 300 lbs with gear.. and in below freezing weather.. Mine has 500 miles on it and I love it. It is the most comfortable wheel on the market. of course you can't compare that to 20 inch or 19 wheels.. Its similar to Monster V3 but my V3 suffers if I push into it.. not this wheel.. I do say that this wheel is good for people 100kg and up.. maybe 90+ but not really below that.. your feet will hurt.. I ride no pads.. I ride seated.. The motor is strong but hungry. I want to see range test in 20C weather, 90 miles wont be the issue.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Seated is the key, sitting down I can excuse this wheel, but it starts to fall off after that in terms of getting close to other wheels (and fails at purchase price and weight). Ours was delivered direct from Gotway approx end of Dec, so fairly fresh. (Can only review what they send - which we pay a heavy price in real money for). If they have updated it in the last 3-4 weeks thats going to pee some peeps who have already purchased off!

[@archeebookingagent1909]

@@Speedyfeetuk the honeycomb pedals they are sending are cast.. I'm not sure if that's a good choice though.. the CNC are way to go.. mine came before Xmas so same batch.. hence I'm asking you to open it and make sure all the holes inside for the LED cables and brackets are sealed.. as of the prices goes.. I leave that topic blank here because it's your business and how much you want to profit on each wheel is up to you. The purchase prices are where they are and it doesn't mean % wise all wheels need to generate same % margins.. on some wheels you make more money and on some you make less.. Especially now when ALi is opening stores all over the world..

[@oldretireddude]

What's your take on the Gotway battery fires that "Wrong way" pointed out recently? Also, there has to be a sweet spot in wheel size over which physics takes over and the rotating mass just becomes overly sluggish. Taken to the extreme I'm sure that a wheel could be created that we would be unable to control without adding motorcycle style input controls.

Awesome, great solid feedback. Silly things like the rubber cover not being properly made to seal (UK weather) off the charge ports and then no mudguard on a massive expensive wheel is just mad.

No problem. As for monster pro, they have a gen2 board out and a gen3 on its way, they are going to send us a gen3 and we will tear it down and fit it, then do a retest.

[@thomasspindler3472]

Thank you for this honest review. Even though it is bitter for the manufacturer, honest reports are the key to improvement. One thing we have to give Gotway (or the company with the new name): They are pioneers in the right direction! And even though the new Monster will definitely not become a best seller and is far from perfect as you judged correctly in your video, it is another important stepping stone towards the wheels we want to ride in 2025. Sometimes failing and showing how not to do it leads to significant improvements in the future. So even if I won’t buy this monster and stick with my older Gotway wheels and my Sherman, I appreciate the effort Gotway makes to develop new wheels and their sense of pioneering this rather new technology. I probably might buy another of their wheels (may be an MSP) just to support their cause.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Agree! Love gotway, never had substantial issues with them in all the years, and the 2 Monster Gen1 took both of us over 13 days 1080 miles in 5 countries - there was nothing that came close. They can do it once refined!

[@richardcress3485]

Hub Motors used with available motor controllers draw high current to produce torque at low rpm. The large Monster Pro wheel has a radically different torque vs. current relationship compared to smaller wheels at average speeds. Monster-Pro reviews posting 60 miles maximum range are equally correct compared to reviews posting 100+ miles; it depends on speed and hills. /ebike builder from the distant past

How much? :P Is the mud all cleaned up? I've heard good things, but need the power pads and Marty got 100 miles? I think have to ride the Sherman and the monster pro side by side for actual range comparison. Slight temperature and speed differences make a huge difference. I rode my 84v 1450wh msx 10-15mph got 60 miles range, 23-32mph only 30-35 miles range. With the bigger tire it might make it feel like you aren't going as fast, so you end up going faster than on the other wheels and killing the range. I really am curious on that.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Marty has a different generation board on his, allows it to run at lower voltage than my board, we are getting a Gen3 board as soon as its released at will retest.

I love your honesty and transparency Ian. I had an MSX and now ride a Nikola and I've been a really big fan of Gotway but it seems that nowadays, they are losing their way in the market. So frustrating that they don't listen to their customers and sell their wheels as standard, with a mudguard! They just don't care enough and with the recent fire incidents of late, ingress of water and bearing issues, the company is rapidly losing its credibility. I haven't heard of any wheel recalls. Begode is also just a crap new brand name too. The Sherman has to be the king of wheels right now if weight is not a problem and I can't help but think that the best engineers and designers left Gotway and went to Veteran.

So do you think that there is a limit on wheel size that is conducive with good acceleration and braking and the monster pro had overstepped the line going to 24".I would say that 18 "to 20" is the optimum choice.Hello by the way Ian.👍😁

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Hi Ivan ;) I am not so sure, I think if the footplates were longer (no need to be anywider) and there was more area to get more leverage AND it had a lovely torque range for braking and accelerating then it would be a real contender for the price (but really, the killer blow would be MEGA range...as in leaps and bounds above anything else - give this thing 5000kwh and it could truly be termed 'pro' among its rivals).

[@MCCOLDT]

I feel the new range inc the EX was rushed out to catch up with Veteren and to throw any old suspension wheel out. There has been a couple of major fires involving the Monster Pro as well guys. Avoid. ANd if buying a new Begode get all the wiring and stuff checked and waterproof it up with sealant

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Weight and Speed are the 2 biggest killers of range, next on the list is temp (cold = bad). In terms of cruising speed - on any wheel lower the better for safety. But both the monster pro and Sherman (and many others) will push out 30mph and are safe as could be expected of such machines (in terms of component failure). It just the higher speed you go, also the risk of serious injury increases exponentially.

Pleeeease, review the Gotway EX.N!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Just got to buy one now and get it shipped 😛😃

[@adhs.store.]

Oh, then I'll wait with my order for...14 days?

[@Duf]

Thanks for confirming what I already felt, Monster Pro is a turd, an expensive turd but a turd nonetheless. Oh and a turd that might just incinerate spontaneously if you are unlucky.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

I would'nt quite go that far, but the way I expressed it in this video is completely spot on. (and there have been no fires with it).

[@eddrush209mph]

You're close but I think a more accurate description is a 'polished turd' Duf. It looks the part, just seems so mediocre after hearing some of the negative aspects in this review. Nice job again Ian.

[@Duf]

Re: not seeing the numbers. You are, I would think, taller than the average tester. I imagine they don’t wear helmets for testing either. I could tell you hated it within 2 mins 😂 I got a set of the hex tech pedals for my Sherman. I am seriously impressed. Let me know if you want the contact info of the guy who makes them. Nice guy in Ukraine 👍🏻

[@Speedyfeetuk]

“In the UK, the average height of a man - according to the Office of National Statistics - is 5ft 9in (175.3cm)” so not much in it really. Helmet doesn’t restrict the view (well some might but not the Kali I am wearing). Its fine as long as you are leaning back - but as soon as you lean forward (i.e moving lol) its out of view

[@Sarajevomusic1]

@@Speedyfeetuk the testers aren’t in the uk? :) just wondering. Voltage meter isn’t my preference either

[@Greenozia]

And probably the cost of bearings will be massive once they give up the ghost in this hollow motor

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Bearing cost not to bad, fitting more of an issue :)

[@Ylte]

Well, it does win in the one-time heater department;) I think it is time to ditch Gotway altogether. When they can’t design a safe battery compartment and have a separate area for the motherboard, have a fuse between battery and motherboard, a body shell that doesn’t explode on impact, utilize bearings that last longer than a fart, and implement the simplest software safety features that prevent the rider from falling and the motherboard from blowing up, after years of complaining about these issues, then it is time to say goodbye. The EUC manufactures are slowly destroying the future of EUC’s, and if we don’t push back now and force them to make better and safer wheels, it will all be over in a few years. When an apartment building burns down with a fair number of casualties, because of a Gotway wheel, or a silly sod crashes into a group of pre-schoolers, because of high speed and no breaks, then the government response will be swift and final.

[@ZenLee]

need some clarkpads.com on it, you'll be able to get much more power and braking out of it

[@Speedyfeetuk]

For the price it should come with them and a mudguard and bigger footplates.

[@ZenLee]

@@Speedyfeetuk good point! sticking with the Sherman myself, one of the best.

[@FOSSO15]

I honestly would still like you to do the 1000km review. Why? Because, as you and every riders already know, the more time you spend riding a wheel, the more we become used to it. Besides, if you can put some of your other wheels power pads, mud guard, seat and possibly put larger pedals and ride till 1000km, dry and wet weather, I’m certain your opinion will completely change for the better or the worse.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Years of experience tells me otherwise, and it costs us a fortune! Spending even more on it with all the things you mentioned would make me even more repulsed lol 😆 Wet weather is probably a no go by reports of others!

[@FOSSO15]

@@Speedyfeetuk damn at least I tried to convince you to do it lol. But yes, this is so true that as expensive as it already is, riders that still get it have to add tons of equipment just to (try) make it a better version that it was supposed in the first place. Finally, yes I heard about riding in the rain a no go, but it’s impossible when where we live in Europe it’s raining 60% of the time. 😂

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Lol. Absolutely. PS love the fact you tried ha ha

Great review, criticism of one thing helps in enthusiasm for another, all things are not created equal. 50 quid take it or leave it, take it off your hands :-)

[@eveoff]

UK Roast not Review. :D :D But! Well deserved. Altought there is nice thing about MonPro like It has same amount of batteries on both sides just like a sherman. Well to me it seems like a good wheel with horrible software.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Yeah its more or less balanced (as from the control boards which are still side mounted).

[@kingkorey6526]

Mr Ian I waited so long for this review, so im disappointed from it's performance. Shame on Gotway, I think this company is going to get left behind for many reasons. Keep the fair and honest vids coming 👍🏾

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Cheers dude, hoping on next revision some big improvements are made, I really fancy a 24 or even bigger wheel, so rooting for them!

[@fenrix155]

It really bothers me that a company which specializes in EUCs, with plenty of resources at their disposal will make simple design flaws that can change a product from being a 9/10 to 5/10. Just like the little voltage reader on the top that you said should be moved back. How do they overlook that!!? Such an intricate piece of work and they slap a crappy plastic shell over it and implement a basically useless cut off switch. I wish I had the resources and knowledge to build wheels. I’d make some crazy good sh*t

[@Ronin_Ryder]

wow you gently destroyed the Monster Pro, but unfortunately for Gotway all your points are true...

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Sadly yes. There could be hope in a future generation...hopefully

This wheel must be garbage as I didn’t even really like the Sherman as it’s not very manoeuvrable.

[@eddrush209mph]

I don't mean to come across as pretentious, however, I was actually surprised how EASY the Sherman is to throw around considering it's size. I'm only 5,8 and weigh roughly 12 1/2 st, 77kg. EDIT: Daniel, I remember you now. I'd commented on one of your video's 3 years ago. CRAZY! I've just seen your video riding the Sherman inside PET. You will adjust to the Sherman (like any other wheel) after some time with it. It took 17-20 miles until I truly felt one with the wheel. Take care man.

[@masterblasterofdisaster]

Its maneuverable ,what are you talking about. Compared to mten3 yeah you may be right.

Biggest flop of any EUC I've seen. Gotway is going downhill and they changed their name to that ridiculous forgettable name (I forgot the name).

They should just stick with Gotway as despite not sounding like a traditional western brand, at least its engrained in the electric unicycle (monowheel) community
